01.08.2025
The Mazda CX-90 has achieved an extraordinary milestone by securing two prestigious accolades that underscore its exceptional performance, design, and premium family-oriented features. In Oman, the CX-90 was named “Premium Family SUV of the Year” at the TAS Business Awards, while regionally, it was crowned “Best Family SUV” at the Arab Car of the Year (ARABCOTY) awards held in Qatar. These honors reflect the model’s standing as a benchmark for excellence in the SUV segment.
In Oman, the award was presented to Mr. Riyadh Ali Sultan, General Manager – Towell Auto Group, by Her Highness Dr. Taghreed bint Turki Al Said during the fourth edition of The Arabian Stories Conclave. Accepting the award, Mr. Riyadh highlighted the significance of this achievement for Mazda in Oman. “The Mazda CX-90 is a testament to our commitment to providing the best in performance, luxury and safety to families. This recognition reinforces our dedication to delivering vehicles that are not only innovative but also meet the evolving needs of our customers,” he remarked.
Regionally, the Arab Car of the Year award ceremony celebrated the CX-90 for its outstanding contribution to redefining the family SUV experience. Judged by a distinguished panel of automotive experts from across the Middle East, the awards evaluated vehicles based on design, performance, safety, and technology. The CX-90 emerged as a clear winner, praised for its spacious three-row design, cutting-edge safety features, and seamless blend of luxury, comfort and functionality.
“These dual accolades highlight the Mazda CX-90’s ability to redefine what a family SUV can offer,” added Mr. Riyadh. “It’s not just about the awards—it’s about the trust and recognition that Mazda has built over decades, which we are proud to carry forward in Oman.”
Designed to embody Mazda’s philosophy of connecting car and driver, the CX-90 is a flagship model that represents the pinnacle of engineering and design. Powered by a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine—the most powerful in Mazda’s history—the CX-90 delivers 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. This powertrain is complemented by the M Hybrid Boost system, a 48-volt mild hybrid technology that enhances fuel efficiency while maintaining an exhilarating driving experience.
Built on Mazda’s Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture platform, the CX-90 features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that elevates driving dynamics. Advanced technologies, such as Kinematic Posture Control, ensure a balanced and confident driving experience, even during tight cornering, while the vehicle’s i-Activsense safety suite provides 360-degree monitoring and advanced autonomous features to prioritize passenger safety.
The interior of the CX-90 is a masterclass in comfort and functionality. Designed to accommodate up to eight passengers, the spacious cabin offers refined craftsmanship, intuitive technology, and meticulous attention to detail. Features like individually controlled air conditioning for the third row, a See-Through View monitor, and a large active driving display reflect Mazda’s dedication to enhancing the driving experience for families.
The CX-90’s achievements at both the TAS Business Awards and the Arab Car of the Year awards reaffirm Mazda’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. With its perfect balance of elegance, power, and sustainability, the CX-90 stands as a shining example of Mazda’s vision for the future of mobility in Oman and beyond.
