Traded in a 2023 RAV4 PRIME XSE PREMIUM...It's the king...However, I like the CX-90 so far (got it yesterday). I agree with them on how the system works. I like how, in normal mode, it will go to hybrid on the interstate around 70mph. This helps you automatically preserve the EV for where it's more efficient. It does go into EV at those speeds too.

Very nice and detailed video as usual !! Thanks guys. For your information the PHEV have Heat Pump so it should be good in winter to be in EV mode only !
@@deansmits006 I have a PHEV now. Running your engine when you get to cruise ~ 35mph. Ensures fast warmup and efficiency. I don't understand this argument from PHEV folks. The whole point of PHEV is to still burn gas when needed. Gas engines provide heat faster than heat pumps too.
Sorry for so many comments, here's what's all missing from this TOP LEVEL Car (I have the PHEV Premium Plus): -No power tilt/telescoping wheel -No Interior-matched faux suede door panel (still has contrast stitching and piping) -Nappa leather, but not Quilted -No lane tracking -No body colored wheel wells -No Driver Personalization System -No Adaptive Headlight -No rear footwell lighting -No Side Mirror reverse-tilt (they do power fold. Didn't see tilt in settings...I looked for it...Will look again) -No illuminated tailgate taillights (Turbo S only: looks better going all the way across) -No rear air conditioned seats -Smaller trunk than 6 seater (The 7 seater 3rd row tilts back, keeping you from placing a 2nd carry-on on top of another...It matters...Check my page for a video of this soon) -No automatic unlock on rear door handles -No 2nd row center console (although Mazda's site states that it does?) -No "Turning across path alert and brake" and Reverse brake support doesn't have "Pedestrian detection" according to the sight. I actually felt this system when turning right onto a road (alerted me of an oncoming car while creeping forward) That's a lot of stuff missing for $800 MORE... But my wife likes riding on solar-sourced electricity. I'm bougie, so this bothered me quite a bit. It's her car though, and it likely will do what we need nicely. And it handles great.
On my Mazda 3 the side mirror reverse tilt happens when you have one of the mirrors selected on the driver door. There are no other settings for it. Just whichever mirror you have selected (as if you are going to adjust them) will be the one that tilts down in reverse. I wish they didn't punish PHEV drivers as much....not having lane tracking, a touchscreen, the premium lights, or driver personalization just for picking the hybrid power train sucks.
@@djw1091994 Exactly, it's just too much important stuff... For mirrors: The car will be back soon and I'll make sure I had a direction selected. It's like that on a lot of vehicles I owned so I don't know why I didn't confirm that.
@@djw1091994 They definitely DO NOT tilt...but the ones in the Turbo S do...Just one more missing feature. About the Cruise: It works better than my Model S Plaid's when it comes to following distance / vehicles changing lanes while another vehicle in front of them is braking / etc. The distance function is very cool. But it pains me that my $60k didn't get lane tracing, as I'm sure it's amazing. I don't need "Hands-Off", I just want "easily stay straight."
It does have touchscreen carplay, you may wanna check some more. Go in to Communication settings, and click in to your phone’s name, scroll to bottom for always enabling touch in motion.
I’m loving my Turbo S Premium Plus and Mazda definitely hit a home run with this CX90. The personalization feature is one of my favorites. It is so nice to get into the car and says Welcome Ray and sets me up to my preset driving mode. Go Mazda🎉
@@kevtn8 I only have a few hundred miles on it so far but overall it is a smooth and quick shifting transmission. I have read some of the same on being jerky at a low speed feedback. Very different transmission from other Mazdas that I have owned, CX-5, CX-9 and MX-5, so I’m still getting used to driving it and my first car with I-Stop which I despise.
Now all you need is a sex robot and your life is complete. I drive my own vehicle. Set the seat and steering wheel position once in the 5 years I have owned it. I know who I am and don't need a computer chip to tell me my name. But to each his own.
@@clarkkent9080 No need for a robot, I have nice big hands. The nice thing about the 90 is when you turn off and exit the car, the seat and steering wheel move out of my way to give me more space to get out. Almost like having your own personal valet.
@@RayBrown-u2n lol....I understand that in order to sell newer vehicles they put more and more technology in to the vehicle. I just find much out it worthless, cost adding, and more things to break. At what point do we let technology do things that we as humans are perfectly capable of doing? I understand that the face recognition does not work all the time. So people are spending more time fooling around with trying to get it to work when they could make the adjustments themselves. I am sure people could make a case for power turn signal stalks and climate controls that read your mind on the desired temperature. But you have to buy the Mercedes to get the automatic aroma dispenser and I find it hard to live without that
That is the sickest dashboard display Mazda ever created! Usually car manufacturer uses green, blue, white, red and orange, but the purple used by Mazda somehow looked sensually interesting.
Thanks guys. My choice too is the C-90 PHEV. I've driven them all and like the PHEV. ->"I think I'll keep my CX-5 forever." Yeah, me too. I've added SO many upgrades in powertrain (Sport Cork intercooler & pipes), gas hood struts, roof racks, LOTS of interior trim like lighted CX-5 door sills and (only) the tasteful Ali Babba Express interior trim - don't laugh, it's good stuff.. So yeah, I'm keeping mine "forever" too. It's beautiful, quick and fast. Plus my Michelin Cross Climate 2 all season tires are JUST as good in snow as the best snow tires I've ever owned.
Loving this from Mazda. I hope they now expand on their BEV's.
Рік тому
I would love to get a PHEV which is only driven by electric motors, with more EV range (100 km) and the gasoline engine as a generator, similar to the MX-30 R-EV.
Yeah, just bought the Artisan Red...I wanted the white too, but the wife wanted Artisan...Which looks AMAZING at night, in the day too. Sometimes it can be Brown too. It's beautiful...But I would've bought the white. Gonna put a range test video up tomorrow or so. It charges quickly on our Tesla charger.

Mazdas largest SUV and you can’t fit a set of golf clubs in the cargo area. Truly wanted one of these and the width of these vehicles needs to be a foot wider. Measured the internal dimensions at a dealer and I think it was 39”. Hysterical.
Ok i wanted to watch a few of your SUV videos after seeing the CX90 vs Palissade video and liking the content. I literally had to pause this video at 05:09 to comment that i loved the "Yuri forgot to ask" XD
CX-60 PHEV did it's best launch in OFF-ROAD mode for some reason. It was half a second quicker to 100 than factory quoted time. Maybe you should try that mode next time just for fun.
@@aamirkazi1044 That's awesome. I'm hoping the Cx70 isn't too big and not same size as cx90, otherwise Mazda is making a huge mistake. If not maybe cx60 is future Cx5. Even better would be bringing the I6 to Rwd sedan ( Mazda 6).
I'm well past the 3 row phase of life but this is a very nice vehicle. A family member just got a top trim CX-50 and it's also a very nice vehicle. I don't think I'll ever buy a combustion engine vehicle again but if I were interested in one Mazdas would definitely be on my list.
This is probably my next family car - replacing a 2011 CX-9. I am disappointed in the eletric-only range though. The world NEEDS Phev's with 100 miles of range if we want to turn the tables and get more total EV miles driven. Electric only is not yet up to par for families who do lots of long driving trips and then PHEV's don't give you enough range except for a one-way trip to work for most folks. I'd take this car with 250 HP if it had more electric only range!!
The artisan red looks so good! Jacob is right bout that vibration on hard acceleration. The ride is very refined but when that happens it feels misplaced, almost like something wrong is happening. I am annoyed about the omission of smaller features in the top PHEV vs. I6turbo but overall I love mine so far. 2wks and still don’t need to refill my gas where I had to do it every 5-7 days in my Mazda 3.
Hoping this drivetrain and the inline 6 powertrain make their way to a midsized sedan, whether Mazda calls it a 6 or a new name, either way I hope Mazda considers it.
It pretty much done deal. Japan may see Rwd sedan as early next year. My guess is NA market will get it in 2025 for 2026 model year. This meshes with Mazda USA timeline for them to focus on hybrids first of all their current crossovers over next 1.5 - 2 years.

Definitely Mazda is the new BMW 🥰 (Now I only need a new, premium Mazda 6) Also, the bulbousness of the rear is the only thing I don't like about this, but it isn't as bad as the Mazda 3 so yeah, I'll take it :)
This would be a no brainer for me if they just had lane centering. I have long drives so lane centering really helps out with overall comfort and safety.
it has all that if you look at the specs: Lane Keep-assist System (LAS), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Emergency Lane Keeping with Road Keep Assist . If I get it, I would disable all that, don't want it to ever take control of steering or breaking.
@@schwinnbiking mazda's LAS are not lane centering. They talk about it in the video. It's a lane assist, but not a lane keep/center. The difference is pretty big while driving
I currently have a 19 MDX Advance Sport Hybrid. Acura isn't making hybrid and going with BEVs only in the future. I'll be ready for a PHEV CX-90 when it is time to give up my MDX.

'There's things to be had over this vehicle" ... I'm actually in the market at the moment and really love this one. What else would you recommend that is similar? Specifically in price. They've dropped significantly since you posted this video.
I’ve driven a 2011 Mazda 3 since 2017 and it has been a great car for me. I’m proud to drive this brand and I love the stuff they’re doing today. The new CX-50 looks really nice, I don’t want an suv but I want them I make a Mazda 3 that has some of that new design, more squared off instead of rounded everything. I also work at a car wash so I see a lot of cars in person, that metallic red color that Mazda has is fucking insane. It’s rare that a red car comes through with a better red than that Mazda metallic red.
If you get federal, provincial and Mazda loyalty, it is actually cheaper (marginally) than the inline 6 highest trim. That’s in BC, not sure in ON if the programs are the same.
I wish the PHEV was designed without the context of the I-6 engine, that hood length could have been reallocated for more cabin space and practicality. But in aiming for a premium segment they made a great vehicle overall that's going to be a tempting upgrade for me, from a CX-5.
Here in Ohio, we used to get 94 @ some stations. But 91,92,93 was premium. Some stations had 91 and 93 along with 87 and 89. Also ethanol! Some places i used to get 98, 102, 108 and 110 for my MX bikes!
I make at least half a dozen trips daily taking kids to school, sports practices, and other extracurricular activities. Having that twenty something mile electric range will save me so much in gas. I want one. And I actually like the plastic over the fenders black more than body colored.
25 miles of EV range on one charge. or 25 Mpg EPA combined rating so one battery charge (15 Kwh) saves 1 gallon of gas In my area it costs $2.85 to charge that battery and one gallon of gas is $3.19 45 years to just break even on the $4,000 PHEV option cost. I also suggest watching the Car Care Nut review on the CX-90
@@clarkkent9080wow the spam is laughable. I own a new cx-90 PHEV I'm getting up to 33 miles on EV and my gas is 5$ per gall or more for premium in Seattle.
@@Nitek09Z Some situations are better than others. I have chatted with people that have 0.11 per Kwh electric rates and $5.75 gasoline prices and it still takes 4 years to just break even on that $4,000 PHEV option. The information I provide is for people considering a CX-90 PHEV. People that already own them have made that decision and you can't change that now. The 25 miles of EV range is the typical range almost everyone on these channels have stated that they get. If you get 33 miles of EV range, I would assume that you get at least 33 mpg on gasoline so the calculation comes out the same with one electric charge saving no more than 1 gallon of gasoline. The only people who tend to get mad, like you, are people who already own a CX-90 and once they learn these facts they are reevaluating that decision.
@@clarkkent9080 mad? Quite the opposite actually. Curious though, are you? Seems that way because you appear to strongly dislike the PHEV. What you don't realize is how convenient it is to plug in at home and rarely go to the gas station. I'm nearing 1000 miles and still on the original tank of gas from the dealership lol.
I've been seeing almost exclusively Mazda ads on UA-cam for about two years now. Do they have ANY money left for R&D, after spending so entirely much on advertising ? Octane: We only get 91, as the highest, in Cali.
I have one in the states and it actually takes 8-10 hours on a standard outlet (unless Canada has more output) and 2hr is standard for the level 2 charger, not 1hr.
They cap it at like 7kWh charge rate, and you get about 14kWh and then there’s another 3 or so kWh buffer they don’t show you in the percentages. So 2hr to 2hr 20m.
Nah, the PHEV is easily the best version. The PHEV is the more "traditional" version and has a more reliable engine and smoother driving experience. It's as fast or faster than the I-6 Turbo S as well.
Went to the Mazda dealership last Sunday because I really needed to see the CX90 in person. Now, this is very subjective, but I really do not like the bulbous D pillar. Wanted to overlook that styling but just couldn’t.

As a owner of a CX90 for a month now i, I had my parking brake malfunctioned already which needed mazda USA tech support to be involved. They took 7 days to get the problem resolved. Terrible support for such a new vehicle.. They didnt know what was the root cause they simply replaced my ABS.

With third row folded and with a stroller in the trunk, how much space is there in a CX90? I have a Graco jogger stroller and with that in my CX-5 there is not much space left. Also, the second row of CX-90 space(seat+leg room) is same like CX-5 or its more spacious? Gathering info just to decide if buying a compact stroller is good idea or upgrading from 2019 CX-5 to 2024 CX-90 is a better idea! Appreciate Yuri’s love for Mazda, a true fan!

Oh good. If I were to consider a PHEV, heat generation would be a big factor. Why have a PHEV if you MUST run the engine for heat half the year?
Is it the same for the Lexus NX 450h?
@@deansmits006 I have a PHEV now. Running your engine when you get to cruise ~ 35mph. Ensures fast warmup and efficiency. I don't understand this argument from PHEV folks. The whole point of PHEV is to still burn gas when needed. Gas engines provide heat faster than heat pumps too.
Sorry for so many comments, here's what's all missing from this TOP LEVEL Car (I have the PHEV Premium Plus):
-No power tilt/telescoping wheel
-No Interior-matched faux suede door panel (still has contrast stitching and piping)
-Nappa leather, but not Quilted
-No lane tracking
-No body colored wheel wells
-No Driver Personalization System
-No Adaptive Headlight
-No rear footwell lighting
-No Side Mirror reverse-tilt (they do power fold. Didn't see tilt in settings...I looked for it...Will look again)
-No illuminated tailgate taillights (Turbo S only: looks better going all the way across)
-No rear air conditioned seats
-Smaller trunk than 6 seater (The 7 seater 3rd row tilts back, keeping you from placing a 2nd carry-on on top of another...It matters...Check my page for a video of this soon)
-No automatic unlock on rear door handles
-No 2nd row center console (although Mazda's site states that it does?)
-No "Turning across path alert and brake" and Reverse brake support doesn't have "Pedestrian detection" according to the sight. I actually felt this system when turning right onto a road (alerted me of an oncoming car while creeping forward)
That's a lot of stuff missing for $800 MORE... But my wife likes riding on solar-sourced electricity. I'm bougie, so this bothered me quite a bit. It's her car though, and it likely will do what we need nicely. And it handles great.
On my Mazda 3 the side mirror reverse tilt happens when you have one of the mirrors selected on the driver door. There are no other settings for it. Just whichever mirror you have selected (as if you are going to adjust them) will be the one that tilts down in reverse.
I wish they didn't punish PHEV drivers as much....not having lane tracking, a touchscreen, the premium lights, or driver personalization just for picking the hybrid power train sucks.
@@djw1091994 Exactly, it's just too much important stuff... For mirrors: The car will be back soon and I'll make sure I had a direction selected. It's like that on a lot of vehicles I owned so I don't know why I didn't confirm that.
@@djw1091994 They definitely DO NOT tilt...but the ones in the Turbo S do...Just one more missing feature. About the Cruise: It works better than my Model S Plaid's when it comes to following distance / vehicles changing lanes while another vehicle in front of them is braking / etc. The distance function is very cool. But it pains me that my $60k didn't get lane tracing, as I'm sure it's amazing. I don't need "Hands-Off", I just want "easily stay straight."
It does have touchscreen carplay, you may wanna check some more. Go in to Communication settings, and click in to your phone’s name, scroll to bottom for always enabling touch in motion.
I’ve heard elsewhere that the premium plus trim on the PHEV CX 90 does not have memory for the mirrors, just memory for the seats
I’m loving my Turbo S Premium Plus and Mazda definitely hit a home run with this CX90. The personalization feature is one of my favorites. It is so nice to get into the car and says Welcome Ray and sets me up to my preset driving mode. Go Mazda🎉
How is the transmission so far in everyday driving ? I believe this is the million dollar question for a lot buyers.
@@kevtn8 I only have a few hundred miles on it so far but overall it is a smooth and quick shifting transmission. I have read some of the same on being jerky at a low speed feedback. Very different transmission from other Mazdas that I have owned, CX-5, CX-9 and MX-5, so I’m still getting used to driving it and my first car with I-Stop which I despise.
Now all you need is a sex robot and your life is complete.
I drive my own vehicle. Set the seat and steering wheel position once in the 5 years I have owned it. I know who I am and don't need a computer chip to tell me my name. But to each his own.
@@clarkkent9080 No need for a robot, I have nice big hands. The nice thing about the 90 is when you turn off and exit the car, the seat and steering wheel move out of my way to give me more space to get out. Almost like having your own personal valet.
@@RayBrown-u2n lol....I understand that in order to sell newer vehicles they put more and more technology in to the vehicle. I just find much out it worthless, cost adding, and more things to break. At what point do we let technology do things that we as humans are perfectly capable of doing?
I understand that the face recognition does not work all the time. So people are spending more time fooling around with trying to get it to work when they could make the adjustments themselves.
I am sure people could make a case for power turn signal stalks and climate controls that read your mind on the desired temperature. But you have to buy the Mercedes to get the automatic aroma dispenser and I find it hard to live without that
That is the sickest dashboard display Mazda ever created! Usually car manufacturer uses green, blue, white, red and orange, but the purple used by Mazda somehow looked sensually interesting.
I wish I could drive with the purple in any mode… I think it looks that good.
Thanks guys. My choice too is the C-90 PHEV. I've driven them all and like the PHEV.
->"I think I'll keep my CX-5 forever." Yeah, me too. I've added SO many upgrades in powertrain (Sport Cork intercooler & pipes), gas hood struts, roof racks, LOTS of interior trim like lighted CX-5 door sills and (only) the tasteful Ali Babba Express interior trim - don't laugh, it's good stuff.. So yeah, I'm keeping mine "forever" too. It's beautiful, quick and fast. Plus my Michelin Cross Climate 2 all season tires are JUST as good in snow as the best snow tires I've ever owned.
Loving this from Mazda. I hope they now expand on their BEV's.
I would love to get a PHEV which is only driven by electric motors, with more EV range (100 km) and the gasoline engine as a generator, similar to the MX-30 R-EV.
"here's the text of the mazda guys' answer for ya"
(yuri forgot to ask the mazda guys)
beautiful.
Yeah, just bought the Artisan Red...I wanted the white too, but the wife wanted Artisan...Which looks AMAZING at night, in the day too. Sometimes it can be Brown too. It's beautiful...But I would've bought the white. Gonna put a range test video up tomorrow or so. It charges quickly on our Tesla charger.

Love this new CX90 so much
A follow up video to show how long that 1500W outlet will run on gas for extreme emergencies would be nice.
7 months later, 7 recalls, in the shop more than any car I have ever had
Mazdas largest SUV and you can’t fit a set of golf clubs in the cargo area. Truly wanted one of these and the width of these vehicles needs to be a foot wider. Measured the internal dimensions at a dealer and I think it was 39”. Hysterical.
Interesting, the Mazda engineers also preferred the Phev driving dynamics/feel over the inline six!!!!!
I’m waiting for the Cx-80 in Europe. My next family-mobile. Hopefully
The gears shifting in ev is trippy. I remember porsche having the 2 spd on the taycan and this mazda have 8 😂
Ok i wanted to watch a few of your SUV videos after seeing the CX90 vs Palissade video and liking the content. I literally had to pause this video at 05:09 to comment that i loved the "Yuri forgot to ask" XD
Mazda may not be a luxury brand, but they make such good cars! This and a Miata for a garage?
Can't wait for Mazda 6 with that and manual transmission.
CX-60 PHEV did it's best launch in OFF-ROAD mode for some reason. It was half a second quicker to 100 than factory quoted time. Maybe you should try that mode next time just for fun.
I do not care about SUVs at all but I do like what Mazda does with the styling and driving feel (current Mazda3 owner).
Driven both versions. Mazda knocked it out of the damn park! Hoping Mazda puts that Inline 6 in a new 6 variant.
Transmission issues or quirks?
@@kevtn8nope own one zero issues and wont have transmission issues wet clutch and planetary gears way more reliable then a standard transmission
@@aamirkazi1044 That's awesome. I'm hoping the Cx70 isn't too big and not same size as cx90, otherwise Mazda is making a huge mistake. If not maybe cx60 is future Cx5. Even better would be bringing the I6 to Rwd sedan ( Mazda 6).
@@kevtn8 i think its smaller but both the cx60 and cx70 are not coming to north america
@@kevtn8 loll if mazda actually put the inline 6 in the mazda 6 i would buy it instantly 😂
I'm well past the 3 row phase of life but this is a very nice vehicle. A family member just got a top trim CX-50 and it's also a very nice vehicle. I don't think I'll ever buy a combustion engine vehicle again but if I were interested in one Mazdas would definitely be on my list.
Porsche Taycan all day every day.
This is probably my next family car - replacing a 2011 CX-9. I am disappointed in the eletric-only range though. The world NEEDS Phev's with 100 miles of range if we want to turn the tables and get more total EV miles driven. Electric only is not yet up to par for families who do lots of long driving trips and then PHEV's don't give you enough range except for a one-way trip to work for most folks. I'd take this car with 250 HP if it had more electric only range!!
Do you realize that electricity is not free and charging that battery (15 Kwh) cost almost the same amount as the gas it saves costs.
Also you may want to watch the Car Care Nut review of the CX-90
I love the looks of the CX90! Too bad I don’t need that large of a vehicle!😞
Thanks for filming this with a car seat! wish they had them at the dealerships too, smart!
The artisan red looks so good! Jacob is right bout that vibration on hard acceleration. The ride is very refined but when that happens it feels misplaced, almost like something wrong is happening. I am annoyed about the omission of smaller features in the top PHEV vs. I6turbo but overall I love mine so far. 2wks and still don’t need to refill my gas where I had to do it every 5-7 days in my Mazda 3.
I think this is hard to beat for the price if you need more than 5 seats.
If you actually use more than five seats this is one of the worst choices.
@@plmn93 buy a minivan
Hoping this drivetrain and the inline 6 powertrain make their way to a midsized sedan, whether Mazda calls it a 6 or a new name, either way I hope Mazda considers it.
Put it on the Mazda3
@@DEFE1994 Mazda3 is on a older FWD platform
It pretty much done deal. Japan may see Rwd sedan as early next year. My guess is NA market will get it in 2025 for 2026 model year. This meshes with Mazda USA timeline for them to focus on hybrids first of all their current crossovers over next 1.5 - 2 years.

Definitely Mazda is the new BMW 🥰 (Now I only need a new, premium Mazda 6)
Also, the bulbousness of the rear is the only thing I don't like about this, but it isn't as bad as the Mazda 3 so yeah, I'll take it :)
I agree, if ur meaning the “BMW” specifically from 2002 maybe.
I’ve seen a few of them on the road already and I think they look great!
Mazda for life ❤… very underrated brand on the road.
This is my new car soon
This would be a no brainer for me if they just had lane centering. I have long drives so lane centering really helps out with overall comfort and safety.
it has all that if you look at the specs: Lane Keep-assist System (LAS),
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS),
Emergency Lane Keeping with Road Keep Assist . If I get it, I would disable all that, don't want it to ever take control of steering or breaking.
@@schwinnbiking mazda's LAS are not lane centering. They talk about it in the video. It's a lane assist, but not a lane keep/center. The difference is pretty big while driving
Mazda understands that technology should be used to make *driving* better.
I kinda wished I would’ve waited for this but got a deal on cx5 gtr I couldn’t say no to. Mazda is awesome 👏-zoom zoom
Are they offering and incentives on the CX-5?
I currently have a 19 MDX Advance Sport Hybrid. Acura isn't making hybrid and going with BEVs only in the future. I'll be ready for a PHEV CX-90 when it is time to give up my MDX.
We test drove one today and my wife checked the visors. Lol!
“Yuri forgot to ask Mazda guys” LOL

Thanks for talking about its vibration. Fantastic review. Please test other trims as well.
'There's things to be had over this vehicle" ... I'm actually in the market at the moment and really love this one. What else would you recommend that is similar? Specifically in price. They've dropped significantly since you posted this video.
This is a VERY NICE vehicle
Wow that's amazing 😻🤩 Love From Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵
"YURI FORGOT TO ASK THE MAZDA GUYS" lol the way this appeared cracked me up.
i saw this in person, these cars are truly huge
At the dealership, it looked like the CX-90 just gave birth to a near by CX-5.
Do a summer special where you review local gta builds, that would be dope!
I’ve driven a 2011 Mazda 3 since 2017 and it has been a great car for me. I’m proud to drive this brand and I love the stuff they’re doing today. The new CX-50 looks really nice, I don’t want an suv but I want them I make a Mazda 3 that has some of that new design, more squared off instead of rounded everything. I also work at a car wash so I see a lot of cars in person, that metallic red color that Mazda has is fucking insane. It’s rare that a red car comes through with a better red than that Mazda metallic red.
I love the soul red crystal color! I have it on my Mazda!
If you get federal, provincial and Mazda loyalty, it is actually cheaper (marginally) than the inline 6 highest trim. That’s in BC, not sure in ON if the programs are the same.
I wish the PHEV was designed without the context of the I-6 engine, that hood length could have been reallocated for more cabin space and practicality. But in aiming for a premium segment they made a great vehicle overall that's going to be a tempting upgrade for me, from a CX-5.
Looks like this is going to be my next car. One thing that's bad about Mazda is the atrocious dealership experience (at least in my area in Illinois).
if plug in charging is cumberson, why not get the mild hybrid?
Surprisingly luxurious vibes
Here in Ohio, we used to get 94 @ some stations. But 91,92,93 was premium. Some stations had 91 and 93 along with 87 and 89. Also ethanol! Some places i used to get 98, 102, 108 and 110 for my MX bikes!
We usually have 87, 89, 91. Some stations have 93 or 94 but definitely not most

Looks great but I’ll wait for the cx70 .
I make at least half a dozen trips daily taking kids to school, sports practices, and other extracurricular activities. Having that twenty something mile electric range will save me so much in gas. I want one. And I actually like the plastic over the fenders black more than body colored.
Tsp.TrueCar.com 👍
25 miles of EV range on one charge.
or
25 Mpg EPA combined rating
so one battery charge (15 Kwh) saves 1 gallon of gas
In my area it costs $2.85 to charge that battery and one gallon of gas is $3.19
45 years to just break even on the $4,000 PHEV option cost.
I also suggest watching the Car Care Nut review on the CX-90
@@clarkkent9080wow the spam is laughable. I own a new cx-90 PHEV I'm getting up to 33 miles on EV and my gas is 5$ per gall or more for premium in Seattle.
@@Nitek09Z Some situations are better than others. I have chatted with people that have 0.11 per Kwh electric rates and $5.75 gasoline prices and it still takes 4 years to just break even on that $4,000 PHEV option.
The information I provide is for people considering a CX-90 PHEV. People that already own them have made that decision and you can't change that now.
The 25 miles of EV range is the typical range almost everyone on these channels have stated that they get. If you get 33 miles of EV range, I would assume that you get at least 33 mpg on gasoline so the calculation comes out the same with one electric charge saving no more than 1 gallon of gasoline.
The only people who tend to get mad, like you, are people who already own a CX-90 and once they learn these facts they are reevaluating that decision.
@@clarkkent9080 mad? Quite the opposite actually. Curious though, are you? Seems that way because you appear to strongly dislike the PHEV. What you don't realize is how convenient it is to plug in at home and rarely go to the gas station. I'm nearing 1000 miles and still on the original tank of gas from the dealership lol.
I've been seeing almost exclusively Mazda ads on UA-cam for about two years now. Do they have ANY money left for R&D, after spending so entirely much on advertising ?
Octane: We only get 91, as the highest, in Cali.
For work, I'd get the PHEV. For personal, I'd get the inline 6....
I have one in the states and it actually takes 8-10 hours on a standard outlet (unless Canada has more output) and 2hr is standard for the level 2 charger, not 1hr.
They cap it at like 7kWh charge rate, and you get about 14kWh and then there’s another 3 or so kWh buffer they don’t show you in the percentages. So 2hr to 2hr 20m.
Also the PHEV does have touchscreen but only if you have the largest 12” display, which in the states is the Premium Plus.
That back end body lean around cliche is hilarious. Overall impressed tho and excited for cx-70.
I heard you mention your sciatica. Is it better now? How’d you get rid of it if so? Chiropractor? Surgery?
RIP GRAND HIGHLANDER? Alternate title lmao love you guys keep it up
Ok we’ll try that one soon
Lane centering is an optional pack even on the highest spec trim level. I think it's called Driver Convenience pack.
The bit of body work above the rear lights is like 10% too bulgy. It’s like almost really attractive but not quite
7:43 That electric motor giving off supercharger vibes 😅
Can you disable the speed limiter in this infotainment system? That would allow the screen to be a touchscreen at all speeds.

FINALLY DECENT DRLS MAZDA - bring these to your other models instead of having the low beam kick on when you put in drive!!

BMW in the back. Mazda in the front. Love that!
Jakub looks so underwhelmed on the seiving section 😂
Should really only get this car with the inline-6 and top trip Signature with that interior.
Nah, the PHEV is easily the best version. The PHEV is the more "traditional" version and has a more reliable engine and smoother driving experience. It's as fast or faster than the I-6 Turbo S as well.
Went to the Mazda dealership last Sunday because I really needed to see the CX90 in person. Now, this is very subjective, but I really do not like the bulbous D pillar. Wanted to overlook that styling but just couldn’t.
Solid review here, except you don't focus on the fuel economy aspect. That's the big reason someone would opt for this version.

As a owner of a CX90 for a month now i, I had my parking brake malfunctioned already which needed mazda USA tech support to be involved. They took 7 days to get the problem resolved. Terrible support for such a new vehicle.. They didnt know what was the root cause they simply replaced my ABS.

Honestly for me, I wpuld prefer mild hybrid for getting use to hybrid or ev, other than the inline-6 greatness
If you charge 90% at home and your electricity isnt expensive, don't you think it would be worth getting used to learning when to push the EV button?
What is mild hybrid can u please explain ? I m confuse
Is it only hybrid or phev
I went on website of mazda it says mild on various trims
I have a CX-50 but dont think I would buy the 90. I don't need that space and if I did it would need to be a little edgier. That shit is flaccid, imo.
Do you have to use premium gas to get that 323 HP?
With third row folded and with a stroller in the trunk, how much space is there in a CX90? I have a Graco jogger stroller and with that in my CX-5 there is not much space left. Also, the second row of CX-90 space(seat+leg room) is same like CX-5 or its more spacious? Gathering info just to decide if buying a compact stroller is good idea or upgrading from 2019 CX-5 to 2024 CX-90 is a better idea! Appreciate Yuri’s love for Mazda, a true fan!
Cx70 is bigger than cx50 without overpaying for third row
DAMN it looks good.
