Mazda CX-90 vs Honda Pilot
A three-row midsize SUV that does not split its gas lineup by drivetrain: i-ACTIV AWD® is standard on all six of those trims. This page sets the CX-90’s sourced specifications beside another three-row midsize SUV shoppers cross-shop it against, one row at a time, with the source and the model year named on every row.
Mazda CX-90 vs Honda Pilot
The CX-90 makes i-ACTIV AWD® standard on all six gas trims with no upcharge; the Honda Pilot is front-wheel drive as standard on the Sport and the EX-L with all-wheel drive optional, and makes it standard on the Touring, TrailSport, Elite and Black Edition. The CX-90 also carries the higher of the two maximum horsepower figures. Each row below names its source and the model year that source describes.
Every row above names its source and the model year that source describes; verification of a comparison is the dealer’s responsibility. Competitor figures are that manufacturer’s own published specifications for the model year shown. Rows the CX-90 does not lead are recorded in our research and are not published here, and no price row appears at all — competitor MSRPs are published excluding destination while Mazda’s include it, so no like-for-like price comparison exists.
The Mazda CX-90 in Mobile, AL
Three Rows Without a Drivetrain Decision
The 2026 CX-90 does not divide its gas lineup by drivetrain: i-ACTIV AWD® is standard on all six of those trims, so the trim you choose is a question of equipment. It seats up to eight, tows up to 5,000 lbs on its towing-mode trims, and runs from 280 hp to 340 hp with the 3.3 Turbo S on premium fuel. Those are the two specifications the comparison above could source for both cars in the same model year.
How to Read This Comparison
Every figure in the table above carries a source and the model year that source describes. Mazda’s guidelines put verification of a comparison on the dealer, so a row that could not be sourced to a manufacturer publication is left out rather than estimated, and a row the CX-90 does not lead is recorded in our research and not published here. Ask us for the documentation behind any row and we will show it to you.
