Saw a lot of people here trying to decide between the telluride, Highlander and the CX-90. It’s simple, if interior space is your priority, CX-90 would lose every time, as it was never designed to be a minivan alternative. But if you care about design, craftsmanship, driving dynamics, and how all of them come together as a whole, it would literally be an insult to even compare the CX-90 to the highlander, telluride, or even the MDX. Nobody in their right mind, given they know at least a little bit about cars, would compare a RWD inline-6 turbo setup to a bunch of FWD turbo 4 and V6 cars and ask which is better - they are not even in the same league. Can’t believe we are still having this conversation…

CX-90 competes with Kia, Hyundai on low end and beats them ( better mpg, more torque, better dynamics @ the same price) and on the high end it competes with Acura Lexus and beats them on price /performance/ mpg. + possibly would steal some sales from Audi / Volvo. Brilliant. Good job Mazda. Waiting for CX-70 now. Big, big expectations! 🤟😎👀

@Red-xz1gk Год назад

CX-70 with same engine and platform seems more attractive to me. Based on most of the CX-90 reviews I watched on YT, the third row here is quite useless for carrying average size/height adults comfortably for even a short ride. I cant imagine what the designers in Mazda were trying to accomplish when they want to target this three-row SUV to American Families. I really cant imagine I will put anyone there, not even the in-laws... lack of foot space and sitting too close to floor.. that combination means a punishment to any adult sitting in the third row to me. Even people who are not tall will not like it. So what is the point to own a three-row SUV without a practical third row? In that case, I rather opt for a top trim CX70 with same engine and spec and with a bench second row to maximize the passenger capacity and the overall driving dynamic.

@@MotoManTV Thanks for a great review - like this person, I'm interested in this (but the mandatory captains chairs in the top trims is a no-go), but I am waiting on the CX-70 hoping it has at least low 30's or more cargo space behind the 2nd row (a la BMW X5.) Can you tell us when we can expect to see the CX-70? (Without being disinvited from all future Mazda events that is.)

@jsfbay1 Год назад

I hope you get one at home soon. It would seem that the wet plate clutch thingy (that is used instead of a standard torque converter) has some smoothness issues from a start. Perhaps they need to use a more powerful electric motor to help give some more grunt from a standstill. The other problem is a personal one - they need to offer the top Turbo S Premium Plus with an optional bench seat. There are a lot of us that want to put a family of five in the first two rows, leaving the third row flat in the floor and plenty of cargo space. They are not alone in this strange omission, making it difficult for me to find a 50 cu ft plus cargo space vehicle with room for five in the first two rows. Honda and Acura seem to be the logical alternative, but I sure would love to have this straight six rear wheel drive vehicle!

@timothyjarvis4208 Год назад

Really , if we're going to be objective from an engineering stand point ,the Mazda cx 90 is superior to the telluride, the Highlander, and all the it's other direct competitors. It's simply more upscale, more premium. In all dynamic facets, it's incredibly accomplished, a Prince at the price of a pauper, a new standard of value.

@garyclark6747 Год назад

The profile would indicate way more capacity for people but it appears some of that was consumed by the extra bank of cylinders primarily driving the rear that squeezes some height out of the rear seating area.

@aperson5062 Год назад

Yes about brand, but that is not all bad news. Yes, some people want to hop in their BMW or Mercedes with their name brand purse and won't consider a Mazda. However, Mazda is also building a brand that is known as upscale unique quality. That also attracts people who want to be able to say their car is more than an econobox. Not making a fancy Toyota (Lexis), fancy Honda (Acura) or fancy Hyundai/Kia (Genesis) but making the whole brand upscale is where Mazda should go. Since Mazda seems to be making products that are deeper than just the branding a new nameplate with better leather, it works.

If third row comfort and boot space are the most important, the Atlas, Grand Highlander, Enclave/Traverse are the biggest entrants in that midsize arena. However the CX90 blows all 3 rows away in terms of driving dynamics, materials, and fit and finish. The Hyundai/Kia Palisade/Telluride which are touted as being so posh and fancy feel cheap in comparison. Their materials feel low rent. Well done Mazda!! A couple of things that could be improved though is 3rd row ingress/egress and comfort along with cargo capacity. It’s on the smaller size. Payload capacity could be a little higher as well. Finally I don’t believe a heated steering wheel is offered on anything but the top trim. Everything else is spot on. Note the 280 hp models can tow 5k when stepping up to the preferred plus and premium trims.

You are not correct on the towing capacities; although the lower trim, lower HP trims tow only 3500 lbs,there are trim levels of the smaller output engine that will tow 5000 lbs. I went to a dealer today because I need a tow vehicle, loved the car, but was told they don’t have trailer hitches in stock and can’t even order them from Mazda. So, a problem, albeit likely temporary.

Since it has a wet clutch transmission, how is it a low speeds like in city driving? I'm always leery of DCTs. If this is a prelude to the CX 70, I'm ready to lay out some serious coin. Great review as always.

@MotoManTV Год назад

Good question - one posed by another viewer. My response there was: What you guys didn't see on camera was me making quick work of my old stomping grounds. Sliced through San Fran from the financial district through Little Italy to the Marina and up over the GGB. Transmission worked like a charm - no hard shifts. What stood out was the speed of the shifts. Well suited to traffic.

@tdkleffman Год назад

The transmission is a traditional planetary gear setup. The wet clutch replaces the torque converter in the driveline.

@kristy77a Год назад

$60,000 ... For this configuration and drivetrain , I think that's a fair price and represents a good value. The 280 hp version is an even greater value versus less interesting product from Honda or Toyota. Well done Mazda.

@bobby350z Год назад

We looked at it couple of yrs ago. But ended with the van. In this age imho no comparison with model Y. I don't see anyone buying these.

@Chiroman527 Год назад

Motoman, Compared to the 23 Acura MDX Type S Advance at $72K+ , the Mazda is a Bargain at $60K for this TOL CX-90 ! I have a 22 MDX Advance which I truly enjoy, but this takes the power of the Type S Version in at $10 K lower. And The Mazda doesn't have that awful Touch Pad for the InfoT. system, I hope? I don't really need a 3 Row SUV of this size. I am waiting to see the CX-70 which from initial looks fits right in as 2 Row SUV. Hoping it has the same Engine choices! You don't actually mention MPGs?

@MotoManTV Год назад

This will be a serious headache for the more expensive MDX.

@RealKevGotEm Год назад

I’m not happy with your Attitude with this. It’s very negative and you obviously could scare less how you got in the back. This car is likely to be sold to someone and you just put your shoes all over. You should be ahamed

Get over yourself.

@error467able Год назад

Mazdaaa.. jdm built. This will compete with grand highlander sales and high end cars too.

@jtp1984 Год назад

The CX70 is coming this year. Shorter and using this engine & hopefully more dynamic, sporty drive! Zoom zoom Mazda!

@pographics81 Год назад

Funny how many cars company are slowly become what BMW used to be.

@EscapementWatch Год назад

This is the perfect family suv with a touch of sport. BIG FAN!

Too much chrome.

@josefernandez2722 Год назад

Thanks again Motoman. Love your work. Do you think the upcoming cx70 would be the same quality but in a slightly smaller package?

@MotoManTV Год назад

That's what we're hoping for . . . Think the BMW 3er to the BMW 5er . . .

@Skiridr22 Год назад

I love what Mazda is doing especially with the rotary hybrid, but didn’t they get the full EV memo

@joyr4620 Год назад

My tall husband, says the front center weights are too low. Even low for short me.

@worldpeace5853 Год назад

Every review on cx90 has the same damn color….…can;t they get any other color???

@MotoManTV Год назад

They had two colors on offer on this drive: Artisian Red and White. Being cameras hate White, had to go with the Red.

@rawgreentea Год назад

Good day, Can anyone help me assess/ compare this turbo s to new 2023 Honda pilot? I have a 2022 Toyota Corolla- MADE IN JAPAN.... It is unbelievable quality.. I NEED , unfortunately CARGO CAPACITY for long trips. The Pilot allegedly has 114 cubic cargo, this Mazda is 75. Is this Mazda so much better a car, that I should compromise on the cargo space? I drove both. The Mazda seems far higher quality overall and drove better. thanks for suggestions

@MotoManTV Год назад

From a cargo and package people in the second and third rows point of view, think Palisade and Telluride. Knowing that, from a dynamics point of view, this will run circles around those.

@calenpope9787 Год назад

Very ready to see the PHEV review! Hardly anyone is talking about it so far!

@johnmullins8932 Год назад

Love your videos! great review on this one. On point though... I do believe that the "Mi" equipped version of the 280hp trim also provides for a 5000 towing capacity as well as this Top power trim model,

@user_uif_ghg_wer_das Год назад

I would like to see what the base inline 6 engine version vehicle looks like inside and out.

@MotoManTV Год назад

You and me both . . . in fact, have already asked for a loan on one if they make it to the fleet.

@JohnChon-v5l Год назад

would be great used buy, when it will depreciate after 2 years

@user_uif_ghg_wer_das Год назад

Considering the long hood, the significantly longer wheelbase doesn't translate to a much bigger interior space comparing to CX-9.

@canmtb4676 Год назад

Clearly this CX-90 is a winner. Forget that Telluride or whatever !

@seannotaro473 Год назад

Being longer by 7 inches is very important!

@markjaycox8811 Год назад

Sweet VID. The 1st new car I decided to own was a 1974 Mazda RX-4. Mazda steering has always been light as any RX-7 owner can attest to. The Toyota is like a Buick, as the Honda is like an Oldsmobile, and Mazda is the wild child, The Pontiac, the Goat. The GTO.

@derbagger22 Год назад

Mazda engineers have always had good vision. Nice to see them unfettered by Ferd. I would love to see this in a middle of the road, but with some techy bits livery version. We are being forced these days to get a Lincoln Aviator or Cadillac XT6. This would be such a welcome break from those underwhelming offerings...

@Jorge_Magallon Год назад

I hope this is a wild success… so they bring back the Mazda 6 MT, but with RWD. My 6 MT is ready to be replaced. They can keep the sun roof, while I’m dreaming. BTW Mazda Corporate, I bought both the 6 and the Miata new and in MT, if that carries any weight.

@farcinue Год назад

I don’t think about brand. I’m too old and I care about value.

@joyr4620 Год назад

And it should have said the front center vents are too low!!

@Tigerex966 Год назад

No 8 speed manual. 🤔🙉🥰

@MotoManTV Год назад

While we would all love a manual, they would sell 2. One of them being to Dave Coleman.

@puckhead1909 Год назад

Thought doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result was the definition of insanity oh well

@The_Stanman Год назад

Your point on brand is spot-on. I've been trying to explain the merits of this car to family as part of recommending it, and they just don't care. Unfortunate reality of mainstream buyers, and ultimately Mazda's greatest hurdle with this car.
