5 Ways the 2025 Mazda CX-90 Enhances Your Towing Experience

The 2025 Mazda CX-90 delivers impressive towing capabilities wrapped in premium packaging. With up to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity when properly equipped with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories, this three-row SUV stands ready to power your next adventure while maintaining Mazda's signature driving dynamics.

For families needing versatility without compromise, the CX-90 bridges the gap between luxury and utility. The thoughtful updates for 2025 focus on enhancing the ownership experience with more seating configurations, improved technology, and refined performance that make towing feel like a natural extension of this premium vehicle's capabilities.

Powerful Drivetrain Options Designed for Confidence

At the core of the 2025 Mazda CX-90's towing prowess is its impressive powertrain lineup. The e-Skyactiv G 3.3 Turbo engine delivers 280 horsepower and a substantial 332 lb-ft of torque, providing the muscle needed for confident towing. This inline six-cylinder engine features M-Hybrid Boost technology—a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that improves both efficiency and low-speed throttle response, offering smoother power delivery when moving heavy loads from a standstill.

For those seeking even more capability with electrification benefits, the e-Skyactiv PHEV powertrain combines a 2.5-litre engine with an electric motor to produce 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. While the PHEV model offers a slightly lower 3,500 lbs towing capacity, it compensates with an all-electric range of up to 42 kilometres, making it ideal for daily commutes while still providing weekend towing capability. Both powertrains pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ AWD, ensuring power reaches the ground effectively regardless of conditions.

Specialized Towing Technology for Stress-Free Hauling

The 2025 CX-90 doesn't just offer raw power—it provides intelligence to match. The Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) system includes a specific Towing mode that optimizes transmission shift points, throttle mapping, and stability control parameters for safer, more controlled towing experiences.

Built on Mazda's electrified Large Platform, the CX-90 employs sophisticated hardware including a double wishbone front suspension and multilink rear suspension, providing stability and control even when pulling heavy loads. The Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) technology further enhances towing dynamics by suppressing body lift during cornering, keeping all four tires firmly planted on the pavement. This creates a more natural handling experience, reducing the typical adjustment period many drivers experience when towing with less sophisticated vehicles.

Interior Comfort That Makes Long Towing Journeys Enjoyable

Towing often involves longer trips, and the 2025 Mazda CX-90's interior is designed to keep everyone comfortable throughout the journey. New for 2025, the CX-90 offers more seating configurations than ever before, with options for six, seven, or eight-passenger arrangements depending on your needs. This flexibility allows you to balance passenger space with cargo capacity for towing adventures.

Higher trim levels like the GT-P and Signature elevate the experience with Nappa leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated second-row seats. Even on extended towing trips, technologies like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, available on GS-L trims and above, keep everyone connected and entertained. The available Bose premium audio system with 12 speakers transforms the cabin into a sanctuary even when hauling heavy loads through challenging terrain.

Safety Features That Support Towing Confidence

Towing requires additional attention to safety, and the 2025 CX-90 comes equipped with an array of i-Activsense safety features that provide peace of mind. Standard features across all models include Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, which become especially valuable when towing extends your vehicle's length.

Higher trims add features like a 360° View Monitor that helps with hitching trailers and navigating tight spaces. The GT trim and above include front and rear parking sensors that assist with maneuvering in confined areas even with a trailer attached. The front parking sensors prevent scratching your bumper during manual hitching, while the rear sensors remain functional when a trailer is not connected. New for 2025, the Cruise and Traffic Support system on GT models helps reduce driver fatigue on longer towing journeys.

Practical Storage Solutions for Towing Equipment

Beyond the actual towing capacity, the 2025 Mazda CX-90 offers practical storage solutions that enhance its utility for those who tow regularly. Roof rails come standard on all trim levels, providing additional storage options for gear that doesn't fit inside or needs to be transported separately from a trailer.

The power rear liftgate with hands-free access (standard on GS-L and above) makes loading gear simpler even when your hands are full of towing equipment. GT-P models add a 150W power outlet in the cargo area, while Signature trims feature an additional outlet that can power accessories or charge equipment between adventures. These thoughtful additions demonstrate how Mazda has considered the practical aspects of towing beyond just the capacity numbers.

The 2025 Mazda CX-90 proves that towing capability and premium experience aren't mutually exclusive.
