PERFORMANCE
MAZDA CX-90

If you’ve always wanted to be known as the cool parent, the Mazda CX-90 and the Kia Telluride make this status achievable. Both models are powered by mighty engines that offer the strength, ability, and longevity you need to create long-lasting core memories for your family.

Ready to Rumble

The Mazda and the Kia offer different-sized engines; however, they both output at least 280 horsepower for goosebumps-inducing thrills. The Mazda CX-90 roars ahead with 332 lb-ft of torque compared to the Telluride’s 262 lb-ft of torque.

So, why is more torque better? Increased torque is useful when you want to experience rocket launcher speed. It gives an added boost from a standstill, helping you achieve more responsive acceleration.

More torque also means more force, which translates to more engine power. You may have an easier time towing up to 5,000 pounds with the Mazda than the Kia since the Mazda CX-90’s engine works more efficiently with heavy loads attached.

In It for the Long Haul

Speaking of working more efficiently, the Mazda CX-90 offers greater fuel economy than its competitor. In fact, the Mazda CX-90 achieves an EPA-estimated 24 city/28 highway MPG rating, which outshines the Kia’s EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG rating.*

Thanks to better fuel efficiency in the Mazda, you can really settle into your superhero role by constantly being there for your family without interruption.

TECHNOLOGY
MAZDA CX-90

When you’ve got the entire family on board, you want to make sure your kiddos are entertained. The technology inside the Mazda CX-90 and the Kia Telluride will remove “Are we there yet?” from the equation. However, when it’s just you in the driver’s seat, how can these SUVs help you unwind?

Easy on the Eyes

Both SUVs offer a 12.3-inch central hub that reduces eye strain. Even from your throne behind the wheel, you can see navigational directions and your infotainment in stunning quality.

Beyond the steering wheel is a different story. The Mazda CX-90 makes a 7-inch LCD Meter Display standard, giving drivers a traditional and enhanced viewing experience. The Kia opts for a 4.2-inch instrument cluster, which may have you second-guessing the speed you’re going or how many miles you have left until empty.

Immersive Cabins

If your way of unwinding includes jamming out to your favorite music, settling in with a podcast, or chipping away at an audiobook, you’re going to enjoy the Mazda CX-90 and the Kia Telluride even more. Both models come with these smartphone integrations, so you can easily stream your preferred entertainment:

  • Apple CarPlay™
  • Android Auto™
  • Bluetooth®

However, you may experience a more immersive listening experience in the Mazda since it comes with eight speakers compared to the Kia’s six speakers. You can increase the speaker count to 12 with the Mazda’s available Bose® Centerpoint® Surround Sound System with AudioPilot®. The Telluride only offers up to 10 speakers with its available Harmon Kardon® premium audio setup.

SAFETY
MAZDA CX-90

Think of a popular safety system. Yep, the Mazda and the Kia have it. Think of a more specific one. You’d better believe these SUVs have it. Mazda and Kia are proud to make your protection a top priority. The proof is in their standard driver-assistance suites.

Protected Everywhere

So, what kind of safety features does either SUV equip? They share brand-specific versions of these systems in common:

  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane-keep Assist
  • Lane Departure Warning System
  • Driver Attention Alert

The Mazda CX-90 and the Telluride both have their own versions of adaptive cruise control too! These features help you maintain a set distance from other drivers and help you match the ebb and flow of traffic when using cruise control.

Unobstructed Views

Are you stuck in a parking pickle and have no one to hop out and check the surroundings for you? No problem! The Mazda’s available 360-degree View Monitor and the Kia’s available Surround View Monitor curate a bird’s-eye view of your vehicle, so you can get a glimpse of what’s around.

However, only the Mazda CX-90’s feature has a See-Through View feature, which can show what’s in front of or beside your SUV. A camera feed will pop up on the central display, helping you see how close another car is parked in front of you or if your kids have left their bikes at the top of the driveway again.
