Mazda CX-90 Lug Nut Torque | All Model Years

When a wheel comes off for tire service, brake work, or a seasonal swap, getting the lug nut torque right is part of protecting the hub, wheel hardware, and the way the CX-90 drives. At Sport Mazda North, we want owners working from factory numbers, not guesswork. Mazda’s current U.S. owner resources for the CX-90 cover the 2024, 2025, and 2026 model years, and the published torque figures are not identical across every year, so it makes sense to lay them out clearly.

2026-2025 Mazda CX-90 Lug Nut Torque

For 2025 and 2026 CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV models, Mazda’s vehicle-specification tire pages list lug nut tightening torque at 127.5 N·m, which is right around 94 lb-ft. That means 2025 and 2026 can be grouped together for the factory spec figure.

There is one detail worth knowing. In Mazda’s flat-tire procedure for these same years, the manual still shows a broader tightening range of 108-147 N·m, or 80-108 lb-ft, in the emergency wheel-change instructions. From our standpoint, that is why the specification-page number is the cleaner figure to use when you want the year-specific service spec: 127.5 N·m for 2025 and 2026.

2024 Mazda CX-90 Lug Nut Torque

For the 2024 CX-90, Mazda lists lug nut tightening torque at 108-147 N·m, or 80-108 lb-ft, in the official tire specifications. Mazda’s 2024 CX-90 PHEV manual shows the same torque figure, so the 2024 model year stands on its own with that published range.

Why Correct Lug Nut Torque Matters

Correct torque is not a minor detail on a three-row SUV like the Mazda CX-90. Mazda’s manuals warn against over-tightening lug nuts and against applying oil or grease to the lug nuts or bolts, because improper installation can damage hardware or allow a wheel to loosen. The manuals also note that the vehicle uses metric wheel studs and nuts, so the correct replacement hardware matters just as much as the correct torque value.

Quick Mazda CX-90 Torque Reference

2026 Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV: 127.5 N·m, about 94 lb-ft. Mazda’s emergency flat-tire procedure also shows 108-147 N·m as a tightening range.

2025 Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV: 127.5 N·m, 94.05 lb-ft. Mazda’s flat-tire procedure also shows 108-147 N·m as a tightening range.

2024 Mazda CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV: 108-147 N·m, 80-108 lb-ft.

Conclusion

If you drive a Mazda CX-90, the factory number to use depends on the model year. The 2024 CX-90 uses a published torque range of 108-147 N·m, while 2025 and 2026 models use a published specification of 127.5 N·m, roughly 94 lb-ft, on Mazda’s tire-specification pages. When wheel hardware, tire service, or a brake job is involved, using the right figure helps keep the vehicle driving the way Mazda intended.
