Compare Mowers
Discontinued model in this comparison: Husqvarna Xcite Z375 54 in (last listed October 2026). It is no longer sold new, and its price is the last one published rather than one you can pay today. The specifications are still accurate and still worth comparing against.
List prices are the manufacturer’s published figures, re-checked daily; they exclude tax, freight and dealer setup.
A side-by-side reference of each model's stated specifications. MowerFacts doesn’t give opinions: where a published, spec-derived rule can separate machines we mark a Data Pick and show the rule; here, read the values and decide what fits your needs.

What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Xcite Z375 54 in uses a Kohler engine; MZ 48 Special Edition uses a Kawasaki engine. The engine maker builds the engine; the mower maker chooses the model, rating and fit, so the badge alone does not settle output or longevity.
- Xcite Z375 54 in has a 10-gauge fabricated deck; MZ 48 Special Edition has a Steel deck.
- Xcite Z375 54 in has a 54 in (1,372 mm) deck; MZ 48 Special Edition has a 48 in (1,219 mm) deck, a 6 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- Xcite Z375 54 in has a 26 hp engine; MZ 48 Special Edition has a 23 hp engine, a 3 hp difference. Published horsepower is the maker's rating at a stated engine speed. It is a different measure from displacement, and two engines of equal rating can pull differently.
- Xcite Z375 54 in weighs 828 lbs (375.6 kg); MZ 48 Special Edition weighs 740 lbs (335.7 kg), a 88 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Xcite Z375 54 in's weight means for a trailer ›
