Joe, you r the best when it comes to detailing what specifications a car has and you do it in a very enjoyable and fun way, thank you. I enjoy your videos
The CX-90 is going to take Mazda to the next level. Inline 6 and RWD on a new platform. It's going to be more expensive and more premium but I can't wait to see it.
I have the CX-8 here in Japan. Same exact trim and color as the CX-9 that you’re featuring. The difference is the width and length. CX-8 is just slightly smaller but not by much. Same chassis, wheels, brakes, etc. The major difference is the engine. CX-8 has 2.2 turbocharged inline four diesel with 200 hp but with 450 nm of torque! That’s just as much torque as lot of V8! I love the grunt that my CX-8 offers. The few zonks that I have is just not enough space around the shifters, armrest, small sunroof, and completely useless third row. But other than that it’s a great family hauler. Thanks for the review as always Joe!
Meh, still got a 2013 CX-9 with almost 240k on it kicking around. Been a great vehicle aside from the eventual catastrophic internal, timing chain driven, water pump failure that did happen 30k ago. I can wait.
Just bought the cx9 and so far very pleased. Did not feel I needed the rear wheel drive or 6 cylinder as this turbo is great and reminds me of the Volvo I had with the same style motor. The 3500 towing is all I need if I end up pulling something. Bose is great and car is quiet inside. Interior plush and again reminds me of my Volvo car but am SUV. Back is tight but with seats down has a good amount of cargo space. Overall a nice vehicle.
Just bought a 23 CX9..love it..would love to get the 90, but it will be about 20k more!!! ALSO...the NON touch screen is a HUGE PLUS! You can stay in your comfortable seating position without having to lean forward and "touch a screen"!!
So agree. You GET IT! And that's why I didn't mind pulling the trigger last week to get the 2023MDX. It is so much more comfortable leaning back and controlling the screen. Enjoy your new!
20K more? are you comparing gasoline CX9 with gasoline CX90 or by mistake you compared CX90 PHEV? because i see only 4K difference between a CX9 GT vs CX90 GT for gasoline models.. Am i missing something?
Definitely waiting for the CX-90! Only about 14 hours until the big reveal. The CX-9 is a great drive, but lacks some must-have features. Hopefully the final product will arrive soon … and your review!
I own a 22 cx9 and love it. I am in love with the cx90 reveal and very interested in it. But I think it’s better for wait and see once reviews are out on its performance, features, options, and price are all layer on the table. With all this in mind and inflation of course I would then make a decision whether it would be wise to jump into the cx90
I feel like I am in the same boat as you, 2021 CX-9 owner, with very much interest in the CX-90, but I want to make sure it's the right decision financially.
I am waiting to see what the hybrid CX-50 will look like and what the gas mileage will be. I’m in no hurry for a new vehicle as my 2011 Mazda Cx-7 is still going strong
Love your stuff, Joe. I'm holding out for the CX-90. Not that I don't like the CX-9, but I think that Mazda did such a good job on the CX-50 that my expectations are high for the CX-90.
At the right price, a 2023 might be a good purchase considering it’s a proven model. The top trim 2024 CX-90 will be considerably more expensive, and it will have to prove its reliability.
I was going to wait for the 90, but ended up getting the 23 CX9 Grand Touring and I love it, very comfortable and everyone gripes about the infotainment being dated and no touch screen, I absolutely love the cursor it keeps fingerprints off the screen and it's easy to navigate, so 2 thumbs up on the CX9
Hi! I'm in a similar situation. Have almost put my money on the 2023 CX9 GT, but still thinking if I should wait for the CX90. I'm sure it will be higher on price. What are your thoughts on owning the 2023 GT? There is a Signature available as well, but I'm not sure if its worth putting in extra 30k dhs.
@ashishdalwanimusic there are incentives to move the CX9's right now and there is room for negotiating, the CX90 in my thoughts is a new brand so my thoughts were let me wait a few year's and have them work the kinks out if any, I personally lease so that's why I'm going that angle, but this is just my opinion, I am very happy with my decision, good luck to you!
agree，we are at the same boat. I am organizing to buy the final version of cx9 as a 2018 model of CX9 owner. In my opinion this car can fight at 5 years or more. Let CX90 improve a lot more especially the transmission jerking too much than Mazda 6AT.
@ashishdalwanimusic I've had mine now for 8 months and tbh it was the best move I made in purchasing a vehicle, this car rides and maneuvers very well, they did a good job insulating it from outside and road noise, I was concerned with the same engine and drive train as the other models being it's a midsize SUV, but I've had no problems with pickup, the 3rd row is small, but would be good if you have kids or a small adult, I wouldn't spring for the signature because the only difference is the interior Nappa Leather, the bonus is you really don't see alot of them like you do the CX5 and plus they have such a nice look all of their own I've noticed alot of heads turn
I would wait in my opinion. From first looks I've seen of the cx90 it looks promising. That inline 6 with over 300 horses is intriguing. Also their interiors have been excellent too. They've really wanted to elevate that in all their models. Quality has been going up. Good changes by mazda
@@maga6319 what does reliability have to do with this buddy? I mentioned nothing on it and nothing on Toyota either. And you say WaY better. Its good yes vastly improved but not on the level on Toyota. Show me proof that they're better and ahead of toyota
I would wait too. I think Mazda should make a bigger display screen, 14 inch one like the new Lexus RX 2023. Mazda should also add the hybrid option for the CX90 .
50 grand for this cx-9 not worth, you can definitely get better options with that price point, (highlander, tellruide, etc) also will you cover the CX 90 as its being released on the 31st?
these days, cars all look-alike.... if you replaced the front Mazda badge with badges from Mercedes, BMW or even Volvo, can you really tell that it's a Mazda? :)
Loved the cx9 rental I had. Only complaint was the rear vents. I have a rear facing car seat and it gets HOT in SoCal and the vents aren’t optimal for my little one. That’s why I got a telluride because of the roof mounted vents
Despite the fact that its on its 7th year of this body style, the CX-9 still looks great IMO. And is a great car overall. I agree the Signature should have painted cladding instead of the black plastic. They paint it now on the CX-5 Signature, so don't understand why they haven't done the same on the CX-9. And I personally think they use way too much chrome both inside and out. I'm considering trading my CX-5 for a CX-9, but will wait to see the styling and pricing of the CX-90 and CX-70 first. I think the 70 will be the sweet spot for me since I don't need a 3rd row.
After seeing the new CX-90, I’m so glad I have my CX-9 Carbon Edition. Don’t get me wrong, the CX-90 is a beauty, but I know it would be tough to upstage the CX-9 design. Anyway, the CX-9 is the best car I’ve ever owned and I really love it, so much that at times my kids and wife get jealous 😊. You should test drive both and see which one you like best.
Joe to be honest, I will miss the CX 9 for sure. However, I am really excited to see what the CX90 has in store for 2024. It seems like brands are doing this lately, creating full size luxury SUVs. Another example is Toyotas Grand Highlander coming up. Very interesting stuff going in in the auto industry today Joe.
Greetings from your regular visitor from southern Ontario Canada the 2024 CX90 I understand according to Mazda Canada will be offering a phev with similar output in 320hp and higher in torque still offering the 6spd auto. Take care and thanks for the presentation
I recently bought 2023 CX9, my family really liked this one, I would love to own CX90 but price is definitely not going to be the same as CX9, again I watched your CX90 review, it seems like same luxury feel + third row comfort seat… to get electric price would be at higher side.. eagerly waiting for CX90 price..
The CX-90 probably be much better than the CX-9 we love see the CX-90 the styling might look better same with interior with MSRP will be little higher. While current CX-9 still looks good would buy it because be cheaper.
Hey man, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your personality on these videos. Watching a lot of these things it’s easy to get bogged down in specs, but you’re one of the few Reviewers that make me laugh: I watch videos on cars I’m never going to buy just to check you out. Thanks for making them fun and be careful with those “Magic” 8-Balls, Keep ‘em out of the “Third” Row! See you on the next ride!
Mazdas sourcing and pricing for the cx90 is amazing. That price for all that standard equipment blows the competition out the water. $50k for the top trim brand new is crazy. The qx60 starts in the 50s
I test drove the 2024 CX-90 Premium pkg and sat on the Premium Plus wow!!! Mazda hit a homerun BUT still missing those extra safety features Kia Telluride has (Camera turn signal and rearview camera). I drove a cx-9 carbon and decide I want the Grand Touring for that 360 camera and save some money as CX-90 and Telluride are hot right now.
That CX 9 is BIG. Rides like a Cadillac. Wheelbase and length larger than almost all suspects: Pallisade, Sorrento, Highlander, etc.. Of course also Santa Fe, Tucson, CRV, Rogue, Murano, and Rav 4. I’m hoping to get it ASAP. Good deals may be available. Maybe next time the 90.
Wish the volume control button would turn the radio off without it coming back on next time the car is started! Holding it down turns the entire infotainment system off. There has to be a better way!
I think black chrome would make a difference on this vehicle and the black cladding is a major zonk it should be body colored. A panoramic roof would be ideal and the paddles should be bigger. Thanks Steven for your camera skills!
You just can’t do a pano roof on this design, because of both the progressive slope and narrowing of the roof panel. If it had a pano, the opening would end up too small. Also, I was told that a pano would make the vehicle too heavy, and upset the center of gravity. Cheers.
I have a 21 CX-9 carbon edition, and tbh the car is such a beauty that the black cladding, regular sunroof, and size of paddles are a non-issue. It already feels like a premium vehicle when I’m in the cockpit, and black caddying kinda goes with the CE.
Just bought a new CX-9 Signature, Soul Red with a beautiful white leather interior. This will be a great SUV for us to travel the USA for the next 2-3 years. Let Mazda work out some of the new kinks that might occur to the new platform. This is out first Mazda and it's somewhat interesting, as we traded in our Nissan Rogue and was looking for the panoramic roof, power adjustable steering wheel. New features on the new CX=90. But, for a new CX-9 Signature for a bit under $47k, this was too hard to pass up. Zoom Zoom!
Mazda CX-9 Signature Is The Best Car Mazda Has Ever Made In History, Quality, Beauty Both Exterior And Interior Are Excellent 👌, Engine Is Super Reliable 👉 💯 I Have A Full Plan To Buy Mazda CX-9 Signature Within 2023 In Sha Allah 🙂☺️💕😍
My dealership still have brand 2022 cx-9 on the lot...I've been calling me once a week about the offers they have since last November. I'm thinking cx90
@@mattmekhaeilMazda is bringing their lineup upmarket. The CX90 will likely go premium along the lines of the MDX, QX60, and CT6, with pricing to match.
I traded in my 2017 six for a 2022 CX9. I prefer models that have been out for a while with a proven drivetrain. 17k trouble free miles so far. The CX90 will have 1st year bugs as do all new redesigned vehicles. I never buy a vehicle unless it’s at least 3 years into the new model year so the problems can be fixed.
As a CX50 owner, I think the CX90 really nice. However, if they eventually put the new engine and EV tech in the CX50, I personally think that would be the better route to go.
I recently read a book that claims Mazda has surpassed BMW in terms of driving experience and quality. Mazda is undergoing a rebranding process, positioning itself as a premium car brand with a focus on both stylish design and driving engagement. The company is no longer viewed simply as a budget car manufacturer with some innovative engine technologies, but rather as a symbol of prime car excellence for those who value both style and the joy of driving.
I have a cx5, and if ever i plan to upgrade, i would choose the cx9 over the cx90, all because i am avoiding 8 speed and cvt transmissions, i was used to driving 6 speed stick shift. Thats why, personal opinion, i would choose the cx9, it is beautiful too.
I paid off my 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring, so it's nice not having a car note. 135,000 miles and still nice and runs great! I hear they can go 300,000 to 400,000mi. I just bought a 2023 CX-9 carbon edition due to great deal, paid invoice price & Mazda loyalty $500 off & 0% interest from Mazda Finance, Man what a beautiful car! I couldn't afford the $55,000K-61,000K CX-90 trim I wanted, The CX-9 was 13,000K-19,000K cheaper and it's just as nice! NOT much difference, just a BIT smaller, and I don't bang my knee on the front AC vent like in the CX-90. I got in both the CX9 and CX90 and they almost feel Identical. Love that 4-cylinder turbo, drives like a dream! Maybe in the future I'll get a CX-90 but for now I'll get a CX-9 while they are on clearance sale, what a great bargain, my dealership in my area is giving $7000K off MSRP on the CX-9. Nobody else is giving $7000K off MSRP for 2023 six row SUV! "HIley Mazda Fort Worth, TX" while supplies last. I KEPT my CX-5 also, Love that thing! Why not? It still has 200K miles to go, I'll let my Son & Dad use it. P.S. I also hear the CX-9 is a better car and better deal than the 2023 Toyota Highlander from the Car Review Folks. Front grill looks good, Great White Shark on the road, so move out the way, fools or you'll get eaten up! lol, kidding. Great choice Mazda, Reliable Japanese car, retain their value, high quality beautiful car and big bang for your buck and extremely fun to drive all of them. I've had nothing but Mazda's now since 2007 and I have watched the company grow and their cars have just gotten better and better with age like a fine wine.
Honestly looking forward to the 2024 CX-90, it needed an update anyway especially looking at vehicles like the Palisade, Telluride and more, it just seemed to be lacking in the segment. I had seen how the new CX-60 looks in other markets. I'm excited to see if that translates to the new CX-90, if so it'll definitely be interesting to see how the American market reacts
