Unfortunately, Mazda will only sell models with AWD, Turbos, hybrid systems, clutch transmissions, and some with compression ignition tech.

Another great video Kirk!!! You gotta love Mazdas efforts in making a better vehicle than the normal SUV with a freaking brand new Mazda developed inline 6!!!! That’s unreal !!! I used to love their technology back in the day. Can anyone remember when they made the smallest V6 in the USA, I believe it was a 1.8 liter V6 and boy was it smooth and it sounded great, it was in the MX3 GS. I loved how they went against the norm back in those days . I'll never forget when my buddy got a 1986 RX-7, i was infatuated with the sound and the buttery smoothness of the rotary engine, from then on I was hooked and I bought one my self but I was a first gen. Cudos to Mazda and all of their engineering efforts through the decades, they did amazing things for such a small company.
Hey Kirk, you got yourself a new subscriber! Really like how detailed you are and can't wait for the full driving review. One important feature I am looking for in any vehicle is lumbar support for at least the driver. For those of you who are interested as I am for this feature, Alex on Autos and Raiti's Rides indicates this vehicle has power driver and passenger seats and 2-way lumbar support for the driver.
I’m thoroughly impressed with this Mazda model. I’m a Toyota guy, but I would absolutely consider this vehicle. The styling reminds me of a touch of Volvo coupled with BMW styling. Thanks for the insight Kirk!!
This looks like another home run. I’m not interested in the third row seat so anxious to see the CX70 execution. Better yet an in line six sport salon in the US.
@@CarsTechWood because Acura’s fit and finish sucks also they seem to have a lot of electrical issues I know I’m a Acura loyalist and a current owner of a 2021 tlx aspec.
Nah. The Lexus TX is already outclassed by everyone else including the cx90 and grand wagoneer The TX will be based off the Camry and won’t be anywhere near as luxurious or as attractive or as comfortable or as spacious or as tech rich or as well built or as exciting to drive as the cx90
The key thing about this car will be the price. If the higher trims are aiming for like what car and driver (58k) has put as their estimated pricing, I do not see the CX-90 as a hot seller, especially when the PHEV only is expected to get 30 miles to the charge. I mean what's the point of getting a PHEV if it's only going to get 30 Miles????? This is why pricing will be huge. If top of the line CX-90 is below say 52k, I can 100% see this car selling out like hot cakes. At the 58-60k mark, there will be some way better options then Mazda. This is where Mazda always seems to fail, the Mazda 3 top of the trim has no business being 35k, the CX-50 has no business being 43k for the top of the line. I feel like if Mazda does a better job with their pricing, they wouldn't have issues keeping it in stock, people would be flocking to it, but it's their pricing that is holding a lot of people back.
@@ihavenohandler29 Clearly you were around before the pandemic LOLOLOL. Car dealers like Mazda, Infiniti, had a hard time selling their cars because they were priced nearly the same as the other brands and the other brands were way better and more fun to drive. So clearly you don't know what you are talking about.
Love the idea of the inline 6, though disappointed it is not available in naturally aspirated form. Beautiful car leaning a bit towards a "shiny object" vs understated elegance. 21" wheel size consistent with overstated theme while the front end makes the Mazda corporate "Joker face". But, hey if one or two out of touch people want to drive themselves around in an overstated 7-9 passenger vehicle - this one presents it...hopefully the CX-60 is a little more understated and utilitarian and instead says "drive me". Question: is the catalytic converter protected?
Kirk, Good job in reviewing the cf version that most people are interested in :) the top trim is nice but I like the captain chairs with pass through in the middle better.
Forget it lol. The Lexus TX and grand highlander both lost badly before we even see it I wouldn’t bother wasting time with those two. They’re as exciting as seeing paint dry I know those two will be a letdown. I just know it. Just like the nx lx RX rz bz4x sequoia tundra crown
@@StormBringer- if you’ll be disappointed why even bother looking? Your current gx is so much better with its smooth bulletproof v8 The new one will be turbo v6 and less reliable. And probably more outdated too like the lx600

Hi Kirk, This is a very nice SUV…I enjoy the changing qualitative and quantitative videos… it keeps it fresh exciting, and I look forward more and more to when you show the quality of the craftsmanship, as opposed to videos of what the charts graphs and quantitative news brings to whatever car you do you’ve pretty much perfected both sides, and or both versions of your videos, which makes it very desirable to watch… For example, this video I would never think of purchasing or test driving a vehicle like this but this is beautiful and it’s presented well by you give yourself a lot of credit you’re a great sales person and it’s always interesting and never dry dull or boring. You truly have the niche. I’m proud of you brother you’re doing a hell of a great job. Respectfully Submitted, JimmyUSAF 🇺🇸✈️💜🌎✝️👍⭐️🇮🇹🇨🇦🇯🇵😇
The current CX-9 was such a beautiful design, that this one doesn’t look that much nicer. The rear resembles the current Highlander. I’ll hold my verdict after I see it in person.
Too bad Honda missed the mark on the new Pilot by not giving a hybrid option. This Mazda is going to sell very well and might replace my 14 Pilot. I love the turbo in-line 6 however I would buy the PHEV model for the better mpg and ev range. Love the new 8speed auto.
Love this car but Can’t wait for the CX-70 . But wounded this be interesting if Mazda put the plug in engine into the Mazda 3 whew the Integra type s and civic type R would not stand a chance lol 😂 and it would be very fuel efficient.
It looks really nice. I’m hoping Mazda does a version with all the chrome trim blacked out like we saw optioned on the CX-60 reveal. That option would make this look very BMW like and appeal to Mazda purists that are looking for luxury as well as sporty in the same vehicle. Please give us a blacked out option Mazda!
I mean I've got some bad news... This entire segment is SUVs for people who don't want to admit they need a minivan 🤣 Take a look at the direct rear view of any 3 row SUV (not truck chassis). Highlander, Palisade/Telluride, grand Cherokee 3 row..... Not exactly sports coupes.
I’m very excited that the PHEV is the base engine. I’m worried what it means for the MSRP but hopefully it’s not too far of a departure from their current CX-9 pricing
I’m hoping we see a Premium or Signature trim with the PHEV. I really like the look of the body of the I6 model in all the press releases without the plastic cladding that is present on the PHEV in this video.
Do the headlights have matrix led or a cornering light? What about fog lights integrated in the main housing? Interesting that Mazda split the high and low beam.
the daytime running light going from grill to headlight assembly isn’t as seamless as my old cx-3 of grille to headlight transition. Not horrible, but not perfect.
One thing I will say after seeing a review showing the digital display is I don't like it. I think it looks cheaper than the actual mixed display they have on their current line - up. The bezeling on the display looks circa 2010 and it looks cheap where as the mixed display of their current line up actually looks upscale.
I wish they tapered the back a little more. It's not pretty like the Mazda 3 hatch, it's a little bulbous and looks pretty strange on certain camera angles
Exterior and the dashboard look really nice! a couple of things that I didn't like are, the front seats look very flat, I wish they had some depth to them. The door shut from outside sounds very cheap though from inside the car sound nice and solid. And, they should've put a nice swade headliner, it kills it by going with standard cheap material. But, the thing I really love is the I6 REAR wheel drive, that's the proper layout!
looks bad , why front doors are smaller from rear looking super strange and that small headlights are crap from lexus minimal headlights that looks ugly
This is a very impressive and beautiful vehicle. Great combination of technology, ergonomics, and esthetics. Shame that I'll probably never be able to afford one, but I love my 2023 CX-50, so Mazda still has me as a customer.
I really really hope there’s no issues with with the AWD. In my 16 cx9 signature in mud and snow it does really well but there’s times where the AWD overheats and stops the power to the rear. Hope it’s fixed in these newer models
Wow mazda just took down everyone in this segment highlander, pliot, asent ,traverse,telluride, palisade. When this comes out deffinetly get one for my wife.
Great intro to the CX90 Kirk, Thank you! Still my favorite Car Manufacturer . Kirk, without driving CX90, QX60 or CX90? I'll ask you the same question after driving CX. Ha
Mazda is the benchmark for a decent car imo. Its the gate guard to is your car company or bad. You can say nearly every company has a garbage vehicle that they produce, and Mazda just doesn't make bad cars. Handling, interior, performance, mpg, are all what I would say are Ideal for nearly every consumer. I think Mazda objectively makes a better average car than say BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen, etc...
Thanks for the review. When you sat in the front seat, did you notice hip/shoulder and seat length as compared to the CX-9? The seat length of the CX-9 is tough for those like me. 6’2” with longer legs. So, the distance from the back of the lower seat cushion to the front for support that comes closer to the knees. Did you notice anything there? Thanks-
Think this is a really nice looking SUV. Only problem with the mazda stuff is their cramped interiors. Any idea if this matches up with the new Pilot, Telluride, or Atlas for interior volume or space, especially in the first and second rows?
the one thing i like about mazda interiors is they’re simple, good quality, and not trying to be over the top with flash. everything feels premium, and you don’t have to baby anything. i love the overall design of the cx-90, it’s just huge, which is why i’m eagerly awaiting the cx-70 to debut.

Mazda is the benchmark for a decent car imo. Its the gate guard to is your car company or bad. You can say nearly every company has a garbage vehicle that they produce, and Mazda just doesn't make bad cars. Handling, interior, performance, mpg, are all what I would say are Ideal for nearly every consumer. I think Mazda objectively makes a better average car than say BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen, etc...
Thanks for the review.
When you sat in the front seat, did you notice hip/shoulder and seat length as compared to the CX-9?
The seat length of the CX-9 is tough for those like me. 6’2” with longer legs. So, the distance from the back of the lower seat cushion to the front for support that comes closer to the knees.
Did you notice anything there? Thanks-
Anyone know when we are going to see the CX 70?
Think this is a really nice looking SUV. Only problem with the mazda stuff is their cramped interiors. Any idea if this matches up with the new Pilot, Telluride, or Atlas for interior volume or space, especially in the first and second rows?
Kirk, you could've used some auxiliary video lighting for the interior walkthrough. But anyway good reportage nonetheless......
Conditions were less than ideal being in a garage... I can only carry so much gear too.
Show us the straight six engine with no covers
Can't wait to gethem on the lot!
6:32....70 miles of electric range!!! That would be excellent and impressive.
Should be around 30miles EV range
No lane centering. Would like to see massaging seats too.
Nice if it’s not too pricey
