Family of 4-5 persons get the CX-90. The family with 5 and grand parents get Highlander Grand. HLG tail light looks good but headlight needs double or triple beam.
The front of the CX90 is great, the rear end is way too bubbly to my taste. Grand highlander looks alot more consistent meaning the front and rear match well together. CX90 feels more luxurious GH looks more practical.
@@CarsFX My function is how it drives as car should drive first or it's not a car and Mazda drives way better than Toyota , just like the rest of the product with much better attention to details...
Cx90s third row is just too small. I would pick it if I didn't have a family of 6. The GH offers just enough space without entering that large SUV price range.
Mazda CX90 and Toyota GH cater to different drivers and purpose . It’s gonna have to depend on the buyer. I intend to test drive and see these 2 plus the Pilot.
The regular highlander would be better competition the Mazda. That said, the main reason to buy a midsize SUV would be for the practicality and the size to move stuff and people from one place to the other. It is less about performance and racing. That is why the grand highlander wins out over the Mazda. Even with the Hybrid Max the sacrifice of mpg for performance is minimal and there is a bigger upside in practicality.
True. The Toyota Grand Highlander is mostly a family travel vacation vehicle while the Mazda is a more affordable family travel vehicle. If Mazda really wants to compete in family vehicle luxury markets, the company needs to do more upgrades and one of them should be able to allow customers to have more trims in the engines and more packages trims and have one trim where the front row and second row have the option to upgrade to massage seats.
@@mutedmutiny9542 cx-90 and cx-9 don't have a single thing in common, it's like CX-50 and CX-5. You can't say cx-50 is the bestselling mazda crossover and lump in cx-5 sales in there. different cars. cx-90 is a baby, it hasn't been out long enough to justify being called that.
@@biggeststeppa1 lmao they don’t have a single thing in common… you are insane. They have like tons of things in common. Do you not get to count past sales when they change the platform on a model? Because that is basically what this is, and they could have kept the CX-9 nameplate but they changed it ever so slightly to CX-90, but like I said it’s the successor. They are the same line, this is just the latest version. Mazda naming conventions have always been weird anyway, mazda3, MazdaSPEED3, Mazda Miata, Mazda Mx-5 Miata, etc. It’s just a name bro, it doesn’t mean shit
The CX90 has an identity crisis where it cant decide if it is a sports car or a family suv. It tries to be both at the same time and having to make obvious compromises where the Mazda does not do either very well. The grand Highlander knows who and what it is. And it does the family SUV thing very well.
That “identity crisis” you speak of is kind of Mazda’s identity / niche, so it’s intentional. They are trying to ride the line of high end and design-focused with practical features, but obviously you can’t do both at the same time. So, that is the point, it’s what they are going for. If you don’t like that, that’s ok, but a lot of people don’t need so much space and would gladly take the trade off over the GH or something like it.
Cx90 paying good to utubers journalist and print media Reality is toyota 26 years hybrid king and in gas from decades Cx90 new technology new transmission first hybrid is trying I will wait 4 years for cx90 since buyers get 100k miles on atleast 10000 sold cars Once report comes in then we will revisit this video
Oh absolutely, if you want omething thats guaranteed to run forever, then toyota is a new brainer, but some prefer form over function, and in that case, mazda is better atleast to my eyes 👍👍
@@CarsFX no one in the world in true mind will choose form over engine & tranny Toyota will go down bcz of mark up and add one plus fake frenzy by manufacturing date demand over supply in name of covid Toyota deliberately supplying short of inventories in usa Truth is dealers are having hybrids in excesses My friend got last week hybrid highlander 2023 xle 2k off on msrp in $44.5k no mark up he look 50 miles radius around where he lives called 8 dealers they said 3k to 5k mark up then guess what He relaxed for 3 weeks al dealers started calling no mark up in fact 1k 2k off on msrp Even yesterday he got call from dealer in Boston giving him 3koff on 2023 hybrid highlander xle and 5k off on gas highlander hybrid & they al have 2023 rav4 hybrids in abundance so I m not even paid troll by Toyota I just replied the facts One more thing Deloitte & S&P AUDIT last month predicted Honda will file bankruptcy in us in couple of years Reason is u r right Truth is kia & hyundai has eaten sizeable business of Toyota and Honda
hmmmm the assumptions are unreal. Just because a reviewer likes what they are reviewing, it automatically equates to being paid handsomely by the manufacturer. I hope you are aware Toyota is now in partnership with mazda. It is reasonable to "ASSUME" they are using Toyota's hybrid design.
