Agreed. I'm glad I got a 2025 for that reason alone. I wonder if the rear doors have a better seal on the 2026.

 

How do I know if I have a bad seal? I haven’t noticed anything.

I initially found the tan leather somewhat appealing but it didn't grow on me enough in-person and I went with the white interior (though I prefer darker interior). I wonder if Mazda's change was a cost thing or to appeal to the simple light vs dark interior crowds. I agree though and find it odd that they bumped it out within the same CX-90 generation.

Having said that, I was a bit bummed when they didn't offer a black interior on the highest trim; that and a bench seat. Both of which I suppose I got used to on my previous cars and preferred (I'm probably the only person who wants both on my SPP lol). I didn't want to lose all the amazing features of the highest trim though and downgrade.

Us too. Our first preference was black interior with bench seats. We weren’t willing to go to almost the lowest trim level for it though.

 

I agree, mine is always getting compliments for it's uniqueness and how good it looks.

 

I didn’t know that. Totally agree with you- the tan leather and suede inserts/dash are sooooo classy and much cooler than leather. Also, easier to keep clean than the almost white leather. This was definitely the best interior. But since only available on the S PP, perhaps they had only intended for that to be a launch interior.

 

The tan interior was a non-negotiable in terms of what car I wanted and one of the biggest selling points to me besides the motor/handling.

 

Interesting. We have owned numerous CX-9/CX-90’s for over 14 years. Starting with CX-9 Touring then moving up to the CX-9 Signature because of the tan Nappa leather. When we bought our first CX-90 last year, we bought the 2025 3.3 Turbo S because we only wanted the Tan leather interior as we get so many comments from our friends about the interior.
Not having that as an option will really disappoint us.

 

We didn’t get the highest trim PHEV because we wanted the tan leather. It looks so much better than black or white.

 

Bummer. I bought the tan site unseen... very glad I did. I get so many compliments on it.. chocolate and peanut butter.
