Hey guys, we will be doing a second part, but this time will get the Mazda CX90 PHEV which is supposed to be faster than the CX90 Turbo S based on some numbers I have seen. Stay tuned.
Thats not the 340 HP cx90. That's the base model cx90. All turbo S models have the silver inline 6 badge and the 280 HP badges are all back like this one in the video. You ain't fooling no body!!!
The Mazda CX-90 you have is not the Turbo S with 340 hp. You have the 280 hp one. You can tell by the exterior. If you are going to use the top engine options for the Toyota GH and Ford Explorer, should have used the higher output Mazda or the PHEV which are quicker. The 340 hp 3.3 tuned engine does a 1/4 mile in 14.7 seconds according to many other car enthusiast. Still would have lost to the Toyota GH by 0.3 seconds, but would have been closer. The PHEV would have been even closer with a 14.5 seconds 1/4 mile run and 5.9 seconds to 60 and losing to the Toyota GH by 0.1 seconds in the 1/4 mile.
Based on the badges and wheels the Mazda looks like a turbo gt which only has 280 bhp got to get the GT-P or the signature trim in Canada or any three versions of the turbo s in the states to get the full 340 hp
Bro didn’t even know what Mazda he’s driving and the specs. The base CX-90, which you had, only has 280HP, NOT 340HP like you said. Least have your numbers and details right when doing comparisons.
@@Kevin-zx4ltno. There’s the base turbo that makes 280. Then there’s the turbo S which is 340, with premium (it’s like 318 with regular). Then there’s the PHEV. WHAT HE HAS THERE IS THE BASE TURBO (280)
@@LoneWolfHustleI like the interior of the Mazda, but the Explorer’s still looks better than it. The Toyota interior is hot garbage… and in every model they make! I have never seen an interior that looks good in any Toyota. Especially the Tundras, they look better now in the newest gen, everyone before this one was horrible.
@@e-hills9271 that’s nice. When it’s a st explorer Like this one rite here in the video (that’s relevant to what I’m saying) you know it’s somewhat fast
That’s the 280hp CX-90 not the 340hp version lol. Please correct that. It’s not a fair race. You got the slowest Mazda CX-90 vs the fastest Toyota GH which costs significantly more too. Different tuning. The Turbo S has a tune that increases boost pressure and other variables to actually give it that higher number. The GT will only ever produce 280hp since that base tune is limited to that with or without premium. Turbo S on the other hand will have 340 only on premium and 320 I believe on regular.
If you want a better race against the Explorer ST, you need a BMW X5 xDrive 40i. In a 1/4 mile it’ll hang with the ST. But after the 1/4 the BMW is getting walked. The ST ain’t no joke!
@not2dae57 I've been defending the Explorer ST since the first comparison with the MDX Type-S and the GV80. I can't wait to see the Explorer ST run against the BMW X5 xDrive 40i. I want to shut up all of these BMW fan boys once and for all!
@@DalHarpJr I leased a 2020 Ford Explorer ST for my wife. She loved it, at first I wasn’t crazy about it but it grew on me and then I just straight loved it. I started driving it more than I drove my 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392. The lease ended on the Explorer and the refresh model didn’t drop on time so she went to Mercedes. But when the refresh drops, I am definitely leasing it for me. The ST is a different animal! For the performance and price; there are absolutely no competitors. The BMW X5 40i with the same features as the ST, is north of $80k. More like $85k.
We love our ST. Great family car that is a hoot to drive. I've been able to manage 0-60 in 4.9 sec (100% stock). 40,000 miles and zero problems (except passenger seat lower trim piece that always breaks...gave up trying to fix).
Haha, whenever you said 1 1/2 car lengths it was more like four. And when he said maybe two car lengths it was more like 6, or, um maybe 5 Grand Highlanders anyway LOL
I knew something was off with this CX-90. Even with premium fuel, it still wouldn't make the 340hp in the Turbo S because it has slightly different engine management. Plus the high output Turbo S has body colored side mouldings instead of black. But even that model would still have lost to the GH, though not quite as badly.
But why not put it against the phev? This guy is ridiculous. He literally choose the base Mazda run again fully spect cars. If I were Mazda I wouldn’t let him touch any Mazda products
Canadian market is a little different with trim levels. Was the CX90 a GT or GTP? 280hp vs 340hp. Both have mild hybrid setup with the 3.3t inline 6 but have 60hp and 37tq difference. Always enjoy your videos nonetheless!
I'm confused. Is this CX90 the the base 280 HP engine or the Turbo S 340 engine? Why not use the PHEV 323 HP instead since it's more a closer comparison? That being said, getting one MPG less on the inline six compared the Toyota's i4 hybrid is remarkable.
Considering the design of the Highlander and the utility of it. It’s impressive, love Fords, own a F-150 powerboost and can’t say enough good things about it. Also own a Regular Highlander Hybrid and both vehicles are amazing and fun to own.
Yes way that hybrid max isn’t a regular hybrid. It’s there for power and efficiency don’t think of it as like a normal hybrid though they do have a regular hybrid version of that vehicle. But that 2.4L I-4 Turbo with that Hybrid max battery its 363hp I believe with close to 400lb torque.
The great news is, the Toyota and the Mazda will still be on the road, won't have squeaks and rattles, and will still be free of rust after they turn two years old.
Thats definitely not the turbo S model. All turbo models have the silver and black toldinline 6 badge. Actually, the base model inline does not benefit from the premium. Who donthis guy think he's fooling... thats not the 340 hP cx90 at all. Plus the base model does not benefit fit from premium gas.
That’s because HEVs don’t let you rev the engine the same way a regular a gas model does. Regardless of the way they sound they’re nowhere near as strained because of the boost from the electric motors.
@@tails300 I understand how it works, I just love how it sounded as if it were screaming in agony when it was revved (because you technically aren’t supposed to at a standstill)
If you actually raced the correct Mazda (Top trim 6 or PHEV) this would have been close. And I know thisbis a drag race but for practicality i am willing to bet neither of the other two handle like the Mazda
@@SamCarLegioncan you please redo maybe you didnt know but the cx90 you used only comes with 280hp the 340hp version is only the top trims and have a red in the skyactivg badge
Regardless of the HP specs or any other differences, I believe the major factor is the driver. That guy knew what he is doing or followed instructions lol. well Jokes aside, you're doing a great job. Just make sure to research and compare compatible vehicles before making any comparisons. Keep it up, buddy!
I liked your clip The Ford Explorer ST is one of my favorites Not to mention that with its twin turbo engine the basis for improvements is excellent Stage 1 will bring the power in the receiver to over 500 HP.
It's the base model. All cx90 are MHEV or PHEV which is standard 323 hp. This standard turbo is 280; the one in the video. Then there's the Turbo S and Turbo S Premium Plus which I have; all Turbo S models are 340 hp. The one he has is not the turbo s
It’s all marketing gimmick by car companies. No one drives 0-100kmph on regular basis. No one drives like this in a city and they hardly use full throttle once in weeks or even months unless you drive on a highway regularly
That CX90 didn't have the 340hp variant. The Turbo S with that power has the chrome "inline 6" badge on the fender which this one doesn't. Also, the transmission design makes it slow at launching since it uses the (16hp?) Electric motor on the mild hybrid from 0 to about 3-5 mph before locking the clutch.
I would love to put my 2013 volvo xc60 r design against some of these newer suvs, I believe it would do pretty well it has a 3.0L turbo inline6 with 325hp 354tq and it weights 4225 pounds.
El mejor es el toyota, tiene el motor mas pequeño, pero super potente, mas ahorrativa de combustible, y puedes pisarle todo el tiempo sin preocuparte por el consumo.
@@SamCarLegionyou're an idiot. You know nothing about car. That's the base model v3hicle you clown. How are you racing a 280 hp mazda cx90 against a 362 grand H. You are a clown
You should have bought the 2.3 Ecoboost. It would have been REAL close to the GH. and it would still have eaten the Mazda's lunch.. They can go ahead and try the PHEV Mazda, and the 2.3 will STILL outrun it (500+ lbs less curb weight).
It would be cool to see all three trims of grand highlander race against race other ( it turbo4 vs hybrid vs hybrid max). Similarly cx90 regular inline 6 vs turbo s vs PHEV
