Mazda CX-9 & MX-30

We knew this was coming, as the Mazda CX-90 represents a new era of US-specific three-row crossovers, but theMazda CX-9has now been officially laid to rest as of the end of 2023. The crossover that arrived in 2016 and went toe-to-toe with the Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and more showed that family crossovers can still be fun to drive. But the CX-90 is newer and better in just about every way.

TheMX-30is another Mazda discontinued, but one we won't miss. With only 100 miles of electric range and a price tag far exceeding comparable EVs, sales were dismal. Along with the MX-30's discontinuation, Mazda has also confirmed we willno longer receive the rotary-poweredPHEV variant.
