The 2024 Mazda CX-90 debuted almost three months ago putting the Japanese automaker in (near) premium waters where the competition is fierce. Our first impressions of the SUV were very positive and today, we can see how it compares against two of its direct rivals. In a new drag race, the CX-90 meets the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE.
The video attached at the top of this page comes courtesy of Throttle House and introduces us to the CX-90’s range-topping trim, the Turbo S Premium Plus with a price of $61,920 in the United States. Against it, the X5 is in 40i guise with a cost of $75,885 and the GLE is from the 450 version, starting at $73,000. As you can see, the Mazda undercuts its German rivals in terms of price, but can it beat them on the track?
