2024 MAZDA CX-90 vs. Subaru Ascent

Many prospective family SUV buyers wonder about the 2024 Mazda CX-90 seating capacity. After all, vehicles of this class are often used for carpooling and family trips. Buyers may also consider other models in the same category, such as the Subaru Ascent. How do these two hold up, mainly in the seating and interior? See the Mazda CX-90 and learn more about how it measures up at Superior Mazda.

Seating Capacity

As a three-row SUV, the Mazda CX-90 seats up to eight people. The same goes for the Mazda CX-90 PHEV. This is provided buyers aim for the three-seat third row on select models. Otherwise, a two-seat third row is standard fare.

Buyers also have the option to upgrade to the available second-row pair of captain’s chairs. In this configuration, the seating capacity drops to seven or six. The Subaru Ascent is similar, with room for up to eight people, or seven if you aim for the second-row bucket seats.

Cargo Volume

Car buyers who give precedence to seating capacity will naturally also care about the storage capacity. The Mazda CX-90 has an impressive storage volume of 15.9 cubic feet of space behind the third row, and a total volume of 75.2 cubic feet with the third- and second-row seats folded.

The Subaru Ascent has slightly more cargo volume behind the third row at 17.8 cubic feet, and a nearly identical 75.6 cubic feet with all the seats folded. However, the Mazda CX-90 has several nifty features. A power rear liftgate comes standard on the base trim. Starting from the Turbo Premium trim, a hands-free liftgate is included.
