2024 Dodge Durango vs 2024 Mazda CX-90
While a lot of people are always talking about the subcompact and compact crossover segments, there are still plenty of three-row, midsize crossover utility vehicles out there dominating the market. For example, the 2024 Dodge Durango is a great option in that segment and it has plenty of solid competitors, including the 2024 Mazda CX-90. We thought we’d see how these two measure up to one another to help shoppers in the Topeka, Kansas, area make a decision on which would best suit their needs.
Powertrain & Performance
If you like to have a lot of options to choose from, then the Dodge Durango will get a quick leg up as it has four different powertrain options to choose from while the Mazda CX-90 is powered by one engine, though you can opt for a high-output version on certain trims. The CX-90 is powered by a 3.3L turbocharged V6 engine capable of generating up to 280 or 340 horsepower. The Durango has several different HEMI V8 options in addition to the standard 3.6L Pentastar V6, with horsepower offerings including 295, 360, 475 and 710 hp.
Towing & Capability
While towing isn’t as important in SUVs as it is in pickup trucks, large utility vehicles like these two are certainly capable of hauling a trailer or something similar that you could and should utilize. The Dodge Durango can accommodate 8,700 pounds when powered by the 6.4L HEMI V8, which is an impressive number for an SUV to be sure. Even the standard Pentastar V6 can tow up to 6,200 lbs., which is impressive in its own right. The Mazda CX-90 is also capable of towing, but its maximum capacity only enables it to haul up to 5,000 lbs.
Seating & Cargo
Perhaps the most important aspect of any utility vehicle is how much space it has in the cabin, both in terms of your passengers and the cargo you need to bring along. While the Dodge Durango has configurations that offer seating for six or seven passengers, the Mazda CX-90 offers both of these configurations as well as an option for up to eight. When it comes to cargo, the Durango offers 17.2 cubic feet of space behind its rear seats while the CX-90 only offers up to 15.9 cu. ft. Lowering the seats flat, they offer up to 85.1 and 75.2 cu. ft. respectively.
