It amazes me how many people think it's more beneficial to have electronically folding rear seats. Not only is it an additional point of failure, but it's an all-around slower unless efficient process. The manual folding design here is not only a smart choice by Mazda, but a rational one. I think discerning buyers will feel the same way.
It used to be only when parked to use the touch screen, but from the settings you can make it permanent. Just feed the instructions! Applicable for all Mazdas
Thank you for the rational review. I would definitely get this over a Grand Cherokee however personally, I would pay an extra 10% and get a Genesis GV80 .
I agree with you on the ride. I feel the same disconcerting ride in my CX 60. The vertical response to any bumps/pot holes in the road is totally unwelcome in a car that is targeted to compete with luxury European and Japanese products. A simple addition of an AVS system should put an end to this problem and is an option I would expect to be offered in keeping with what the competition has to offer. All Mazda's competitors in this market segment offer this option.
If you take the time to look up touchscreen on phone connectivity in the menu you will see you no touchscreen is behind the times ....you should know this !
Reviewers elsewhere describe the third row as only suitable for children...with no headroom/legroom for adults. Yet this reviewer describes it differently with plenty of headroom and sufficient legroom...and describes his weight as 85KG (510/6) as if he were a normal sized adult. It's would helpful to know the honest height/weight reviewers (no shoes/lifts, no puffing) when presenting their body to describe the seating room. As a normal sized adult adult (1.8m - 85kg) and wife (1.7m 63kg), we found the CX90 seating (especially legroom) surprisingly cramped throughout...and the 3rd row impossible. BTW: the Mazda sales person we spoke with agreed with the relatively cramped dimensions saying Mazda calls it "cockpit design".
When comparing a Mazda to a Jeep , remember you are driving a very new car. Check out the ownership experience over 5-7 years and one is extremely reliable and the other is close to getting the wooden spoon for reliability.
@@nirmaljose8119Yes, Kia and Hyundai are 100% equally reliable!! With this sort of insane new pricing (from a formerly mass market manufacturer), their sales will absolutely COLLAPSE. Not sure what Mazda head office were thinking??
lol, really… This thing is flawed in so many ways, firstly at 6ft 95kg I will only be able to sit in the front row. The payload is laughable. The ride sounds as though it would be a deal breaker straight away however most new luxury cars seem to fall into this trap. The price 😂 I know looks are subjective but for me the dimensions are all off, not a stunner. How about that poxy little screen and the simply horrible interface, even if you can change to a touch screen in the settings, it is positioned too far away and way too small. This will be a sales flop. Back to the drawing board.
Mazda will sell a small number of these for the next 3 years before sales tank as the vehicle becomes seriously obsolete. Much like the SkyactivX flop where the $3,000 premium was touted as the saviour of ICE... the reality was it delivered only tepid improvements. At the rate Tesla and the Chinese auto industry are innovating Mazda's strategy of clinging to dying technologies means that they will probably go out of business or merge within the next 10 years. I can't think of a better way to flush $100K down the toilet, could be worth a look as a cheap used car in 4 or 5 years time though.
