Lease a New Mazda CX-90 Near Bernalillo, NM

Are you looking for a big SUV that fits your whole family — and actually feels great to drive? The new Mazda CX-90 might be exactly what you need. It has three rows of seats, a beautiful inside, and smart safety tools that keep everyone protected. The best part? Bernalillo drivers can lease a new CX-90 at University Mazda in Albuquerque — just a short drive down I-25. Our team will help you find a payment plan that fits your budget.

What Is the Mazda CX-90?

The CX-90 is Mazda's biggest SUV. It was built to be just as nice as expensive brands like Acura or Volvo — but without the scary price tag. It holds up to eight people, comes with a powerful engine, and has an inside that looks and feels really fancy.

Here's what makes it different from most big SUVs: it's fun to drive. A lot of three-row SUVs feel heavy and slow. The CX-90 feels sharp and smooth — like it knows exactly where you want to go. Whether you're driving to work in Albuquerque or taking the family on a road trip, this car makes the ride feel easy and enjoyable.

Two Engine Choices — Pick What Works for You

The CX-90 comes with two different engines. Here's a simple breakdown of each one:

  • Turbo Engine (3.3T): This is a strong, smooth engine that makes 280 horsepower — or 340 horsepower in the top model. It runs on regular gas and is very quiet. If you drive a lot on the highway between Bernalillo and Santa Fe or Albuquerque, this engine makes long trips feel relaxed and effortless. It's a great pick if you want power and simplicity without thinking about charging
  • Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV): This engine uses both gas and electricity. It makes 323 horsepower and can drive on electric power alone for most short daily trips around Bernalillo — without using any gas at all. If you charge it at home each night, you could save a lot of money on gas over time. It may also qualify for government tax credits that lower your monthly lease payment

Both engines come with all-wheel drive built right in — no extra charge. That means all four wheels get power when the road gets slippery. On wet highways during monsoon season or on dirt roads outside Bernalillo, that extra grip really matters.

An Inside That Feels Special

When you get inside the CX-90, it feels like a much more expensive car. Everything is well made, soft to touch, and thought through carefully. Here's what you'll find:

  • Three Rows With Real Space: The third row has 37.4 inches of leg room. That means grown-ups can actually sit back there without feeling squished — which is rare in this type of SUV. Most competitors only have enough third-row room for kids
  • Soft Leather Seats: Higher trim levels come with Nappa leather — soft, smooth, and high quality. It feels great on day one and still feels great two years into your lease
  • Big Glass Roof: The panoramic moonroof lets sunlight pour into the whole cabin. On a bright New Mexico morning with the Sandia Mountains out the window, it turns a regular commute into something worth looking forward to
  • Easy-to-Use Screen: The 12.3-inch display is big and clear. You control it with a simple dial near your hand — so you don't have to poke at the screen while driving. Your phone connects wirelessly with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto the moment you sit down
  • Great Sound System: The available Bose® speakers are tuned specifically for the CX-90's cabin. Music sounds full, clear, and rich — whether the windows are up or down
  • Display on the Windshield: The head-up display puts your speed and directions right on the glass in front of you — so your eyes stay on the road where they belong

Safety Tools That Always Have Your Back

Every single CX-90 comes with a full set of safety tools — no matter which trim you pick. These tools work quietly in the background and help prevent accidents before they happen:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking: If the car sees a vehicle, person, or cyclist in your path and you don't slow down in time, it will hit the brakes for you. In busy Albuquerque traffic or near school zones in Bernalillo, this tool is working harder than you might think
  • Blind Spot Warning: Small lights on your mirrors flash when there's a car in your blind spot. It makes changing lanes on the highway much more relaxing
  • Lane-Keep Assist: If you start to drift out of your lane, the car gives you a warning and gently steers you back. Really helpful on longer highway drives when attention can slip
  • Driver Attention Alert: The car watches your driving patterns and warns you if it thinks you're getting tired — before anything dangerous can happen
  • 360° Camera View: Available on higher trims, this shows a bird's-eye view of the whole car on the screen. Parking a big SUV in a tight spot becomes a lot less stressful
  • Safe Exit Warning: Before you open your door, the car checks for bikes or cars coming from behind and alerts you if it isn't safe. Simple, but really useful in parking lots

Why Leasing the CX-90 Is a Smart Move

Here's the simple truth about leasing: you only pay for the part of the car you use — not the whole thing. That means your monthly payment is lower than if you were buying. For a premium SUV like the CX-90, that difference is significant. Here's what else makes leasing a good idea for most Bernalillo families:

  • Lower Monthly Payments: You're not paying for the full value of the car — just the years you're driving it. That puts a nicer car within reach without stretching your budget
  • No Surprise Repair Bills: Your leased CX-90 is covered by Mazda's warranty the whole time you have it. If something needs fixing, it's covered — no unexpected costs
  • Always Drive Something New: Safety technology gets better every few years. When your lease ends, you can step into the newest CX-90 with all the latest improvements — rather than being stuck with older technology for a decade
  • PHEV Tax Savings: If you choose the plug-in hybrid, you may qualify for federal tax credits that bring your monthly lease payment down even further. Our finance team will help you figure out exactly what you qualify for
  • No Depreciation Worries: New cars lose value fast in the first few years. With a lease, that's not your problem — you hand the car back and move on without taking that financial hit
  • Easy Exit at the End: When your lease is up, you can get the newest CX-90, switch to a different Mazda, or walk away. You're in control — no complicated trade-in hassles

Leasing vs. Buying the Mazda CX-90

Leasing works best if you drive less than 12,000–15,000 miles a year, like getting a new car every three to four years, and want lower monthly payments. Buying works better if you drive a lot more than that, plan to keep the car for seven or more years, or want to own it outright someday. Neither choice is wrong — it just depends on how you drive and how you like to manage your money. Our finance team in Albuquerque will show you both options side by side with real numbers, so you can pick what's right for your family. Learn more here.

CX-90 Trim Levels: Pick Your Version

The CX-90 comes in several versions so you can find one that fits your needs and budget:

  • Select: The starting point — and it still comes loaded with AWD, the full safety suite, and the powerful engine. A strong value at the most affordable price in the lineup
  • Preferred: Adds more comfort features and tech upgrades that you'll notice and appreciate every day
  • Premium: Leather seats, big moonroof, 360° camera, and all the best tech. Most families find this trim hits the sweet spot between value and features
  • Premium Plus: Everything Mazda offers — fully loaded, top-to-bottom. If you want the very best version of this car, this is it
  • Turbo S: The most powerful version — 340 horsepower, sport suspension, and a premium feel that goes head-to-head with high-end European SUVs
