I like the Muzio family smell test right after your infotainment reviews. My family is pretty sensitive to smells so we've been looking for a 3-row SUV that has the least amount of VOC's. I read that Mazda/Japanese automakers pay attention to that kind of stuff. I know Volvo used to back in the day but I don't think they do anymore. Great overall review of the car too. It's between the CX90 and the Lexus TX coming out this fall for us.

Great review as always!

High style for sure! Elegant design and materials.

This is an all-new platform with all-new powertrains (pretty much the worse combination for a new car) so I'm not surprised there are drivability quirks. With that said, Mazda is good at improving their vehicles over time, so I'd bet that the 2025 or 2026 CX-90 will be more a refined product.

Great review! Oh, and which one of you two has the good taste in Podcasts? Decoder Ring is outstanding! I always learn something. That Parm cheese episode was so tasty!

Excellent review.

My favorite part was when Evie said it felt like driving a regular 2-row SUV. As someone who hasn't had more than 3 passengers since my oldest got their license almost 20 years ago, I have no use for the third row. I'm VERY interested in the upcoming CX-70 however, and if this feels like a 2 row, I'm hoping *that* one will feel like an even smaller 2 row. Also, inline 6 please. It's what drew me to these new cars, and after several reviews, that PHEV seems like it still needs a lot of work. Also also, that seatbelt chime shouldn't do anything if the vehicle is in park. Fine if it goes nuts as soon as I put it in gear, but if I'm sitting there listening to music with the A/C on while I wait for someone, I don't need to wear a seatbelt.

As a current Mazda CX9 owner, frankly speaking CX90 is comprehensively improved, but only 2 Negatives points stopped my upgrade plan. 1: The second row headroom space is more narrow than CX9. 2: 8AT transmission shifting gears is frustrating than CX9 6AT, especially 1-2-3. Slower gear changes than CX9 6AT as well. Hopefully Mazda could hear about this and improve it.

I tested the CX-90 but the interior was not roomy for my intentions, specifically 3rd row is cramped esp if you try to give 3rd row more legroom the. 2nd row gets cramped as well. Just look at the legroom Micah has when in the 2nd row. Ended up getting the new Pilot which wasn’t even on my radar but it’s 3rd row is very good and handling is very good for something that FWD biased and isn’t a RWD. Handles pretty well. Highlander is very good if you don’t need the 3rd row or use it rarely or need it in a pinch. I will need it frequently. Mazdas make very good cars though, reliable too. Mazda lost some ground 20yrs ago, I think primarily due to rust issues but the last decade they have made a turn around.

Love the overall impression of this car but unfortunately, at 6'4" with long legs, that big bulky door handle is right where my knee goes and it is not comfy at all. I fear the CX-70 will have the same design. Great video, Muzio fam!

⁠@@mitchellsteindler well they were on the path with the Telluride rear, all Range Rover and Palisade, a modified Range Rover front but your right though they went further with the Santa Fe.

The Mazda CX-90 has several unproven items: The inline 6 engine with turbo, the 8-speed automatic transmission, the wet clutch (rather than torque converter) mounted on the back of the transmissions, the electric motor/generator (replaces starter & alternator) mounted on the back of the engine.

Lol Lil Dicky isn’t a compliment 😂

Battery is not working if temperature goes-12 C. So sad

Doesn’t seem like Mazda committed one way or the other. There was so much early on about the long hood and inline 6. This sacrifices the interior room. I don’t see where this vehicle is sporty enough to warrant that sacrifice. Can’t see why I would ever choose this over a Pilot, Palisade, Grand Highlander or Telluride. The interior is beautiful in certain specs though.

Cx90 or Subaru Ascent?

I can tell Sweety is a better driver than you. Love the family approach, endearing.

Would be a great two row car but its disappointing Mazda can't be class competitive on cargo or third row space in a car that has exterior dimensions that are larger than many of its more spacious competitors. I don't understand how Mazda hasn't learned at this point that they won't catch Honda, Toyota, or the Koreans if they can't match them on practicality in classes where practicality is one of the main things buyers want.

how is the drive feeling? I'm scare of Mazda now. I have Cx5 2018, hate it everyday. The drive is not smooth especially when I release gas pedal and it approaches slow speed. It gives me chock feeling.

The mild-hybrid-turned-PHEV will never work. I can't wait for the Honda/Mitsubishi/Koenigsegg-style series hybrid-style PHEV to make its way to larger vehicles. PHEVs should be able to pull out into traffic aggressively in EV mode without the driver worrying about starting the ICE.. otherwise it's just a hybrid with a too-heavy battery and bad throttle response. No thank you, Mazda.

This thing looks like a mini van, the interior is very beautiful though

It's a sexy looking design ❤

It looks like all the other Mazda SUVs.

Definitely a very likable SUV. However the third row space, the shift refinement and the ride quality are deal breakers… the external, especially the front, is a missed opportunity. It could look more premium/ elegant and more aggressive… the current design is too reserved and that makes it too close to the style of the CX-9…

Mazda needs to put that inline 6 engine into a Mazda 6 or MX coupe model. Shame that it's only in this huge hulking SUV. Also in person, that CX-90 rear end looks really ugly from the bulbous shape to the tail lights that's are way too long

Curious on the gear selector, why take a really tried and true system and turn it upside down. The rest, seems pretty nice. I'd take the highlander over it and I am a mazda owner.

I fear Mazda is losing its way a bit...should have updated the wonderful CX5 rather than add the faux trail-runner CX50 (with that wheel/tire set?? gimme a break), which is just different enough to be not as good. And CX90 could fill its own non-niche: too $$ for value shoppers but too cheap for premium buyers -- and it comes with shakedown issues in the drivetrain to boot. Also, Mazda seems clueless about hybrid tech. The PHEV version of this gets a whole 25MPG overall...wow
