This question is for CX 90 owners. How is the Mazda CX 90 maintenance service? Problems to be aware of and how expensive? Im interested in very heavily in this
2016 Mazda6 GT here(bought new in Feb 2017) I was skeptical of the control knob, for the infotainment, at first. After using it for the last 7+yrs, I can say “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it”. You practically memorize the turns and clicks of the dial. The best part is it’s never been in the shop for anything outside of regular maintenance.
I picked up this same model and color but in the PHEV nearly 3 months ago and have zero complaints. My first Mazda and couldn’t be happier with it. Great review!
I got the premium plus in December and agree it is so nice. Has every bell and whistle you could ask for. I get so many compliments- it really is a luxury vehicle
Reading these comments as a non-American makes me kinda worried and sad on where the car industry is heading if this is the feedback what car manufacturers receive… Why would you guys want panoramic computer screens as gage clusters and navigation screens? It just looks dull and not attractive at all. You are sitting behind screens in your office all day so why would you want your car interior to reflect the same? I would even prefer a hybrid gage cluster (analog meters with a digital cluster in the middle) over the all digital one shown here. Who wants to use touchscreens while driving? It’s perfect to have a dial that you can use with your eyes on the road instead of trying to press wrong buttons as road will always be bumpy. So it’s way safer how Mazda intended this. What’s wrong with manual transmissions? It literally reflects freedom. You’re in charge on when you want to shift and it’s super fun to control. And what’s wrong with physical buttons? Again, you can press them with your eyes still on the road, and they’re always there! Not hidden away behind many menus on a digital screen… Man… I don’t understand you guys at all. Greetings from the Netherlands nonetheless!🇳🇱
Its called 1st world problems where the spoiled people want all tech and not think about repairing their own cars and learning on how to program a code.
I humbly disagree with your opinion slightly. Yes Tesla have a poor interior and exterior in terms of aesthetics. I like the interior of Toyota or Mercedes though. It should be a combination of modern tech and tradition interior. However Auto transmission gear is a must, I don't want the manual transmission.
@zaf7794 If you have to use a touch screen to change climate controls, something is wrong 😂 A blend of screens and traditional buttons is the way to go.
We were on the road yesterday, and i was window shopping for my next vehicle. A really high-end looking silver SUV i didn't recognize passed us, and from the rear, I thought Volvo. As i got closer, i saw the Mazda badge and realized I'd seen my first CX-90 in the wild. I agree with everything you said about the style - this makes SUVs sexy! Thanks for the excellent video - i need to set up a test drive.
Just the paint isn’t premium. CX5 and CX9 have roof bubbling issues that stems from the paint process. I believe black is the worst. Wouldn’t be surprised if other models are also impacted.
I drive a Mazda CX-5 and I love the control nob. Don’t knock it until you try it! I find that I can keep my eyes on the road much better than when I’m trying to use a touch screen. Also, I disagree with the other comments saying that this design is behind the times. It looks great and it’s a very comfortable place to spend time! Great review, Joe 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing your experience. I find a touch screen way easier to use, but I hear what you are saying, and I definitely hate the fingerprints on a touch screen. I don't find the design old fashioned either. I LOVE the bright interior, although I agree with Joe about the grey fabric on the dashboard. It looks okay to me, but for how long?
Like the dial, but the dial does not work well with CarPlay... rarely goes where I think it's going to go and have to correct a lot at least CarPlay is touchscreen now on the newer Mazdas
Great video. Love the cx90. The infotainment or analog is definitely not a deal breaker. The drive experience, build quality and premium materials make up for it.
coming from a 22 mdx tech package and let me tell you the mazda feels more upscale and powerfull than my ex mdx obviously the mdx has more tech gadgets but this definitely has elegance and presence 👌🏻 lovely sound and powerband
My wife just got the cx-90 Turbo S premium and the car is ridiculously fast. I wish I was a lot younger and had better eyesight but I could really enjoy driving this car.
Nope here in US you can find one for $55,700. If the price was right from the beginning, i could have purchased one instead ended up buying a 24 calligraphy Palisade
@@al151Why are you saying “nope”? lol. The guy said the price, the MSRP, is about 57k - which is true. If you found it listed for 55k, then the dealer chose to mark it down.
I have a 2005 Mazda 3 with almost 250k miles. I have only had to deal with routine maintenance and a few minor issues, but never any major mechanical issues. It’s been a great car still drives perfectly fine though it is showing its age. Just ready for something new would definitely consider another Mazda.
I think the cloth with the stitching is unique. Mazda gets a lot of things right. I’ve owned 4 different models. One complaint people have when riding with me is the lack of space as compared to competitors. In my opinion, the driving experience more than makes up for it. How is the active driving assist with cruising and traffic support? My cx50 has traffic jam assist and it is a little ruff when using it in stop and go traffic. Great review!
If they’re referring to the more snug and drive focused interiors, I understand but actually prefer. Similar to BMW and Audi, Mazda seems to actually decrease space to make it more sporty and cozy
Remember Saab? They went from the 99 to the 900 to the 9000 and then they reversed to the 9.3 because nobody wanted a 90,000 plaque on their car. Mazda, are you listening?
The 3rd row is pretty rough, the interior is really good looking. If you're going to get a full sized SUV, may just go with the Lexus. Given how similar the cost is, I think the Lexus would be the better option for room, etc.
Wow! Very impressive & hubby would approve this sporty ride! In the market for a new large suv. I’m a Lexus owner but the TX model front grill not a fan. Like the Painted trim/wheel area. Thank you for this video and very helpful. Want to drive this cx90! Interior is very nice! 🥰👍
Joe, another terrific review - very thoro !! I'm Not loving that interiror Cloth trim either - for looks it's fine, but for practicality, NG. However, Not only does this very Nice Vehicle compete with the Lexus, you should throw in the 2024 MDX Advance against it. A new 25 MDX was just introduced (which you have reviewed already) is Not as Powerful, a few more Goodies (like Massaging seats, an Interior Light Show, a Spectacular new B & O Sound system, a removable center rear console, AND a New Touch Screen) BUT $6K More in price. If Yiu want this Power - You have to Opt for the Type S - $14K More in price!! I'm liking this Exterior Artisan Red Color with the Cement Interior! One point that should be made, learned from a different review, is that you can Change the InfoT. system screen to prform as a Touch Screen in AA or CP while Driving - by a Buried Setting which is switched to perform as a touchscreen while Stopped as default! I have this on my Short List to possibly replace my expiring 22 MDX Advance lease in August. If the new 25 CX-70, the same vehicle Sans the 3rd Row was a few $Ks less - I would defineitely be going for that ! NOTE - I see that during the test drive, You do mention the change in settings to allow for using the touchscreen in AA or CP, but not if using the car's system.
I'm definitely going with the S level CX-90. I've driven both Premium and the Premium Plus. The cloth on the dash and the door trip seemed odd to me. I'm going with the Premium for the performance. Great review. The driving experience is amazing.
Great video Joe like always. Can you elaborate on the transmission shifting? Do you notice jerkiness/lack when the vehicle from hybrid operation to ICE? Thanks
I have a select (base model) , just bought it almost 2 months ago. For the price, it offers a lot more than what Honda and Toyota are offering for the same price. I am happy with mine
The infotainment control is weak, only a touch screen with Apple CarPlay? Really? How is that dial saving them costs over a fully usable touchscreen…..
A touchscreen would be cheaper.. It’s not about costs, it’s about Mazda’s philosophy. Touchscreens are more distracting, messy, and take away the driving experience
Great video as always:) My key question is about suspension. Joe, what do you think about that? Is it soft/hard enough and is it comfortable? For me that is one of the most important things in this size SUV, even more than power and race driving. Joe, how do you see this comparing to Lexus TX???
So much hype around this suv. Mazda pushed the "premium" envelope a bit too far, msrp around 63K for top trim. Now they dropped to msrp of 57k for top trim and they still can't get these off the lot, what gives? Also hear there's been tons of problems and customers upset because they paid over msrp in the very beginning.
very nice front end, nice wheels look real good, the cloth interior is strange maybe nice but how do you clean it? very impressive but it the 3 road sucks
I agree about rear spoiler and dumb wiper location, but love the inline turbo six, I had an inline six in my 75 280Z, great engine, ya just don’t see that anymore,,,,$61K too much, sorry
Would prefer a TX 350 Luxury trim (fully loaded)over the fully loaded Mazda cx90. Wayy more space in the Lexus making it an actual 3 row. Would only recommend the cx90 for a plug in hybrid and if you are ready to sacrifice a lot of space because the Lexus PHEV is in another price class.
I absolutely hate the back. I wanted to like it, so I had to see it in person and it was worse than expected. I told the sales person it was a deal breaker. It desperately needs exhaust tips, and needs longer spoiler. It looks squatty and dumpy. And last, the Turbo and Turbo S have the same turbo charged, just de-tuned to -70hp. I guarantee there will be someone who can unlock that via a software update. If you go CX90, go standard Turbo, not the “S”, save thousands and wait for a software upgrade for maybe $100
@@Honda2015 hello, and thanks for your comment! Based on internet pictures, it appears the 70 is the same as far as exhaust tips, or lack of them. I would consider the 70 if Mazda fixed that.
Zoom Zoom Zoom ! Love the Mazda's exterior with the painted wheel fenders (no cladding allowed), I agree with you that the interior cloth isn't up to par, maybe a dark interior the cloth wouldn't look as bad but the rest of the interior is awesome and I would fold down the 3rd row unless needed. I've read the 2025 Mazda's are going to have Hybrids including Plug In Hybrids so that might be a reason to wait but I love what the Mazda's have to offer.
These Honda, Toyota and Nissan fans are in here thick. Stop hating on Mazda. The shit yall complaining about is not a problem at all. Please stop trolling and go somewhere for your V-4 cylinder engines and CVTs.... lol. Inline 6 is king. Mazda handling and the its beautiful cars have always been hating on. Get a life or get a Cx90
Seriously? Is this even a question? The CX90 DEMOLISHES the Lexus TX in every way possible! The TX isn't even competitive with SUV's from 10 years ago. That's how bad and cheap it is. But there's no denying the Lexus marketing gang has done a stellar job in selling mass quantities of whatever junk they release. They could make something worse than a Pinto, but just because it bears the Lexus badge people will buy it due to ill-informed perceptions of the brand and that's sad!
I have a 2018 Mazda6 GT and compared to the Accord and Camry I found the interior to be light hears ahead. Steering I found better. I guess because Mazda doesn't have a premium brand they "dumped" all the teach and styling into the Mazda brand.
I like the cloth. leather is very over rated in temperate climates with 4 seasons. and you can do so many patterns and colours and compliments the leather in so many places on the interior. no sticking to the buttocks with cloth in the summer or freezing in the winter lol
I currently have a CX9 and I love it. I was looking to get into a CX90 but Kia just came out with the EV9 and it blows everything else out of the park.
Mazda was number 1 or 2 the last couple years in the Consumer Report most reliable brands with a score of 83. This year they dropped to number 8 with a score of 77. I would assume it's entirely due to the CX-90.
Reviewers keep putting this vehicle against the wrong competitors and misleading the public. This is a premium SUV but it is not top luxury SUV like BMW, Mercedes, Audi. I think it's a good competitor to the Acura MDX,Infiniti and Lexus TX. The price of this vehicle lets you know where it resides in the marketplace. Its a great alternative to a Ford Explorer platinum, Kias high end offering and Hyundai's high end SUV.
All I have to say is I went to a Mazda dealership and many of there SUV's still have analog speedometer displays with printed on numbers. I ran out of dealership as fast as possible. Could you imagine, analog in 2024.
Imagine a person needing new tech that will end up going to the scrap heap. New tech doesn’t mean its the way to go even AI acts like the pathetic American customer service where they don’t want to admit they don’t know what they are talking about and yet they refuse to drop their pride. Tech has many issues where they are inconsistent.

Mazda is still using analog gage clusters on some of their SUV's. Not tech savvy.

Would prefer a TX 350 Luxury trim (fully loaded)over the fully loaded Mazda cx90. Wayy more space in the Lexus making it an actual 3 row. Would only recommend the cx90 for a plug in hybrid and if you are ready to sacrifice a lot of space because the Lexus PHEV is in another price class.

No fake vents..."shout out" Lori, for giving Steven the weekend off...lol...👏
I know right
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
Yeah Joe the colour of the interior it's gonna be fun to clean😅
I went with Lexus TX and couldn't be happier. I even let my friend who is 6ft tall seat in the 3rd row. He is really comfortable.
Beautiful SUV
It sparkles in the sun.
CX90, Grand Highlander, 2025 4 Runner, 2025 Armada are all on my short list.
Hermosas !! Gracias por su video educativo y muy interesante!!
Me encantan las galletitas!!
I have a 2018 Mazda6 GT and compared to the Accord and Camry I found the interior to be light hears ahead. Steering I found better. I guess because Mazda doesn't have a premium brand they "dumped" all the teach and styling into the Mazda brand.
I like the cloth. leather is very over rated in temperate climates with 4 seasons. and you can do so many patterns and colours and compliments the leather in so many places on the interior. no sticking to the buttocks with cloth in the summer or freezing in the winter lol
Is that infotainment screen from the 80's🤣😂
You obviously were not around in the 80s
80s? Are you 12?
Tuh you are the funniest
I currently have a CX9 and I love it. I was looking to get into a CX90 but Kia just came out with the EV9 and it blows everything else out of the park.
They engines are shitty and dies pre-maturely
@@mbenton6 that’s just not true.
How’s the phev coz 90 compares with tx phev?
Stay tuned I will be bringing that one to you!
Mazda was number 1 or 2 the last couple years in the Consumer Report most reliable brands with a score of 83. This year they dropped to number 8 with a score of 77. I would assume it's entirely due to the CX-90.
It could very be with first year glitches.
Mazda looks great!
What fell off the car when It did that pulled away?
the cx60 looks much better
I don't want dorito stains in that white interior. But jokes aside, this is a really good option tu buy.
For sure lol, car reviewers have seemed to have a lot of fun driving the CX90
You are right about BMW. The current BMW models are not pleasure to even look at on website
Reviewers keep putting this vehicle against the wrong competitors and misleading the public. This is a premium SUV but it is not top luxury SUV like BMW, Mercedes, Audi. I think it's a good competitor to the Acura MDX,Infiniti and Lexus TX. The price of this vehicle lets you know where it resides in the marketplace. Its a great alternative to a Ford Explorer platinum, Kias high end offering and Hyundai's high end SUV.
All I have to say is I went to a Mazda dealership and many of there SUV's still have analog speedometer displays with printed on numbers. I ran out of dealership as fast as possible. Could you imagine, analog in 2024.
Could you imagine, as a full grown adult, immediately being turned off by something like easy to read, analog gauges
Could you imagine being an adult and still not knowing the proper form of there/their to use?
Imagine a person needing new tech that will end up going to the scrap heap. New tech doesn’t mean its the way to go even AI acts like the pathetic American customer service where they don’t want to admit they don’t know what they are talking about and yet they refuse to drop their pride. Tech has many issues where they are inconsistent.
Your comment is ridiculous
He really knows his plush toys and snacks
