Mazda CX-90
The Mazda CX-90 is a full-size crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda. It is the second vehicle to use Mazda's rear- and all-wheel drive with longitudinal engine layout categorized as Large Product Group after the CX-60. The largest Mazda SUV to date, the CX-90 will replace the CX-9 in North America. Overview 
The CX-90 was revealed in January 31, 2023 for the North American market, while a release in the Australian and Middle Eastern markets were also confirmed for 2023. The CX-90 will have a choice of six or seven seat configurations. With the use of the rear-wheel-drive-biased large vehicle platform, it is placed into the brand's internal "Large Product Group" category. According to Jeff Guyton, President and CEO of Mazda North American Operations, the CX-90 addresses many of the weaknesses of the CX-9 such as its small interior space. The CX-90 is also equipped with the Kinematic Posture Control technology, a feature originally developed for the 2022 MX-5 Miata and also present in the similar CX-60. The software suppresses the vehicle's body lift during cornering to improve stability and traction, helping occupants maintain a natural posture. The CX-9 will be discontinued in North America, replaced by the CX-90 or CX-70. Like its predecessor, the CX-90 will not be sold in Japan, despite being built in the country. Equipment
