EPA-Estimated Fuel
No matter your path, you deserve efficient fuel economy. Both the Mazda CX-90 and Honda Pilot will give you great gas mileage. You will feel reassured every time you take your vehicle out on the road. However, you can go a bit farther in the Mazda.
Both vehicles offer all-wheel drive, which strengthens their off-road prowess. This will only bolster the Mazda’s ability to travel long distances on a single tank of gas. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the Honda. The Mazda CX-90 achieves an EPA-estimated 24 city / 28 highway MPG. * The Honda Pilot falls a bit short here with an EPA-estimated 19 city / 25 highway MPG. If you are traveling often, the Mazda will be more reliable.
Find Your Power
If you want power, the Mazda CX-90 and Honda Pilot are here to give that to you. They both offer an engine that will travel well on the road. However, when comparing the two, the Mazda offers a bit more power overall with 340 horsepower while the Pilot is limited, offering only 285 horsepower.
Torque is an important part of any vehicle; being the turning power of the engine. Torque affects the efficiency of your acceleration. The Mazda CX-90 offers a maximum of 369 lb-ft of torque. The Honda Pilot’s engine offers less at 262 lb-ft of torque. For greater acceleration, choose the Mazda.
TECHNOLOGY
There was once a time when you needed to bring along a co-pilot on long drives for assistance. Now, with intelligent center displays, your co-pilot is built into your vehicle.
Infotainment System
An exciting feature of both vehicles is their infotainment systems. The Mazda CX-90 comes standard with a 10.25-inch full-color display.

The Mazda CX-90 is equipped with the Mazda Connect™ Infotainment System. This offers the driver a variety of features, including Infotainment system voice-command and SMS text message audio delivery and reply.
