2024 MAZDA CX-90 vs 2024 Hyundai PALISADE in Bloomington, IN
2024 MAZDA CX-90 pictured above with optional features.
Exquisite in its design and abilities, we could speak about the 2024 Mazda CX-90’s capabilities at length. However, in order to best highlight its assets, we have placed it up against the 2024 Hyundai PALISADE. Read this overview by Royal South Mazda to see how these midsize SUVs stack up!
Performance
Let’s begin this head-to-head comparison by peeking beneath the hoods of this duo. With the Mazda CX-90, you will have a standard 3.3L V6 engine that stuns crowds with 280 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. On the opposing end, the PALISADE has a standard 3.6L V6 motor that dispels 291 horsepower and 262 lb.-ft. of torque. Both of these SUVs use an 8-speed automatic transmission for crisp movements across Bloomington. Though, you will find that the Mazda CX-90 handles better on slick surfaces with the help of its standard AWD. With the Hyundai, you instead will utilize standard FWD, so you may find yourself sliding more when rain overtakes Indiana.
Interior
Feast your eyes upon the opulent interior of the 2024 Mazda CX-90. It’s here you will find a standard leather steering wheel that immediately sets a luxurious tone. In the 2024 Hyundai PALISADE, this component is covered in a urethane material. When it comes to comfort, the CX-90 has standard heated front seats and 8-way power adjustability on the driver’s chair. That way, you and your copilot can warm up after a day in the snow at Wapehani Mountain Bike Park. Moving back to the PALISADE, this heating ability is not available, so be sure to bundle up before traveling. The pilot’s seat also only has 6-way manual adjustability. Finally, the Mazda CX-90 has standard leather seats that elevate the aesthetic to the next level. If you go with the PALISADE, you will instead have premium cloth covering the appointments.
Exterior
When deciding your next SUV, the aesthetics of its appearance are a top priority. So, let’s go over what you can expect with these vehicles. Both feature standard LED high and low beam headlights for ample visibility across Arlington Road. However, the Mazda CX-90 takes things further with the standard perimeter approach lights that will greet you. You won’t find these on the PALISADE, so it’ll be a bit darker when entering your SUV after hours. The Mazda CX-90 once again pulls ahead with its standard moonroof with power sunshade. That way, you can enjoy the fresh breeze whenever conditions are clear and crisp. Much like the prior feature, this is also not available on the PALISADE. To end, we must mention that each of these vehicles have heated side mirrors to wipe away condensation. As you can see, the Mazda CX-90 is sure to revolutionize your ventures. Give us a call to set up a test drive!

Dealership Information
Testimonials
I highly recommend them.
Each time was an enjoyable experience.
“ I didn't buy my car here but sent it for regular maintenance a few times. Each time was an enjoyable experience. They were always friendly and never tried to sell me stuff I didn't need. I was sad when I got a new car and had to find another dealership for services! ”
We have had a very good experience with this dealership.
“ We have had a very good experience with this dealership. They were very upfront with their pricing. They had the suv that we were looking for in stock. They are not pushy but very knowledgeable about their businesses. Overall a very good dealership. ”
Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years.
“ Service was the best I have had since having a car in the last 35 years. I did not have an appointment and they got me in for service. Everyone from the Service writer to the service tech was professional and nice to work with. Price for my oil change and inspection was very competitive and worth the 5-star service I recieved. They also sent me a Video of the service so I could see what was completed...Just top tier in my book. I will continue to go there with my MX-5 until it's dying day. ”
Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot.
“ Everyone is very nice, helpful, and understanding from a phone call all the way to leaving the lot. I brought car in for an inspection, I LOVED the explanation video that was sent to me of the inspection. Not only did it make me feel a little more a part of the process, it gave me an excellent run down of everything that needed done and an accessible means of sharing with those who understand cars better than I do. Thank you very much! ”




“ Service department is great! Easy to make an appointment and they have always been ready for me at my appointment time. They have been respectful of my time and very thorough in their services. For even a basic service they do a nicely comprehensive check on the car and send you a video of, all the things they checked it’s very cool. I highly recommend them. ”
