Finally an actual DRIVER'S review. Not just a long boring list of features that we all know from the website. This is someone who cares about the driving characteristics of the car.
Gonna make me cry Kurt haha. Thank you!
It's almost like some channels actually forgot cars are, ya know, driven.
Agreed
To be fair to other reviewers, this car will virtually never be driven the way it has been driven in this video, whats the point of wringing its neck?
You get that right! Although I’d encourage him to relate and compare even more to brands’ other products (when possible.). Especially when it comes down to a geniunely drivers’ brand, such as Mazda.
“I just copped a Turbo S” Is now something a practical man might say.
I like when a reviewer talks about the driving experience. The steering, the gear, the clutch, the suspension, all the things we can't read on a paper.
Mazda is really making huge ground. They’re one of the few brands I always see all over the place now.
I really hope we get to see this powertrain in a new Mazda6 or even the RX-Vision concept. I can see this making crazy power numbers with some tuning.
I really hope they will eventually put it into the new 6, but unfortunately, I heard they scrapped the RWD 6 cylinder Mazda 6 as a whole. Apparently it’s not economic for them to make a new sedan platform, because sedans don’t sell nearly as much as SUVs. Sadness
@@adamkozolka6981 the Australian(?) ceo said that I think.
People in the comments are holding onto false hope imo.
For them, the CX-90 only exists as an engine demo.
If they put it in an mx5 that be a sale.
They don’t make the 6 anymore and probably won’t make that again.
@@ZACH_95_ in Europe they still sell the 6
I'm very impressed with how much you can actually hustle this thing. Definitely not a boring experience!
Speaking of vicariously experiencing the CX 90, thank you.
Sir your phone will fall.
imagine if this thing came w/like 450 hp 👁️👄👁️
@@duhitsbautistaPlug in hybrid + turbo V8 + AWD
This suv is really embodiment of what german manufacturers forgot about car design. Not over-stylized but elegant interior/exterior combined with „to the point“ powertrain and technology. Simply well done!
My Audi S5 Sportback kills this in performance, styling, and quality of materials. My also BMW X3 M40i also kills this even more. There is no comparison
@@Andrew-qs5yo my comment says nothing about „speed“. Audi s5 has nothing to do with this car in terms of design philosophy, chassis, powertrain and purpose… it is the most luxurious version of c-segment sedan platform and this car is a 7 seater suv. for your better understanding; usd 8k msrp suzuki gsx probably will eat your s5 alive on mountain roads… x3 relies on almost 10 years old CLAR platform and it is pretty much at the end of its product life cycle… and also good representation of what bmw forgot in terms of design philosophy. The current 5/X3/X5 are the last ones remaining from good old „german engineering“ days (not over-stylized and not overwhelmed with useless tech/touchscreens).
I don't know, but I don't see much "elegance" on the exterior here. It looks like any bulky SUV to me. But it's nice to see a proper inline 6 on a new car, let's see how long Mazda can afford to ignore the E train. And Mazda interiors are above average for the price. Much better than Toyotas, I'll agree with that. I do like their "soul red crystal" color option. The main reason I don't buy Mazda, is that other than the MX5, which is too small for me (and you can't get any decent interior colors), you can't get the proper front engine, rear wheel drive layout anywhere. German manufacturers give you just that, and for me it makes the world of difference. I don't care for AWD and its technological bagpack, especially when most of the power goes to the front wheels most of the time.
@@captmcneil it has a off-roading look like the Durango that I like.
@@srt11111 Looks like shit compared to the x5 and x7 nothing but a replica
Wow, minimal use of gloss black on the interior, what a revelation. Nice job Mazda
At a glance the thumbnail looks like a Bentayga interior with that steering wheel
You're gonna love what I have to say about it lol
Haha I promise I didn’t skip ahead to 5:15! Great review and nice job Mazda
@@TedwardDrives gotta give option to let us hear engine more,. maybe tooyta use it for lexus is or lexus ct
First thing I thought was, wait, that looks like a Bentley.
Looks like they made a BMW better than BMW does these days. Looks great. This design could be timeless, inside and outside.
Quite agreed. The cabin of the Mazda is the proper driver oriented, "old school" but beautifully timeless design which i like, it most feel retro compared to modern BMW techno hell.
@@ranger_who It looks quite literally exactly the same as the interior on a X5M. Literally a carbon copy. And the only difference on the newest one is that they turned the two displays into one, its still exactly the same other than that.
except that a new bmw x5 is a very good car
I think they've tried to keep the 5 series and X5 as old school legacy cars for their traditional clientele. As long as they don't put that stupid square dashboard screen in either of them they can do what they please.
@@Datoda you are saying the biggest problem with these dumb Mazdas and Genesis cars: they are a copy. A complete rip-off. This Mazda is a walmart brand version of the X5s They will never be as good as what they are trying to emulate.
i think mazda has done an absolutely fantastic job of keeping the fun of driving in everyday vehicles. I know once im old and have a family im going to a mazda dealership first.
THIS IS EASILY my favourite video of this new Mazda so far 'cuz u were basically driving it like how I drive my 3 Turbo hatch (like I'm on a racetrack lmao) & therefore the video was basically 18 minutes of driving a 3-row SUV like a track car while listening to the turbo inline-6 & WE LOVE THAT 4 US 😭😭😭
Mazda design is really aesthetic. The two-tone interior looks great.
looks like a x5
@@poltergeist8298 they copied bmw in so many ways its disappointing
@@ajr_e46 Except that it's affordable to purchase and maintain. That means they aren't taking too much of BMWs status-symbol type market and still giving people the products they want.
@@angelsfallfirst7348 I suppose, I just feel like they could’ve gone out of there way to atleast be unique, I mean the tail lights are a carbon copy of the new X1
@@ajr_e46 4 series coupe etc.
That thing is impressive, can't wait to see how the CX-70 turns out, basically this drivetrain, in something a bit smaller and lighter. A Mazda 6 with this drivetrain would really be great as well.
I wish they made a Mazda6 with the same drivetrain. I'm big fan of my '14 2.0. Amazing car.
Mazda making a zippy sedan on a I6 RWD platform... looks like they know how to make a better Crown than Toyota
I wish enthusiasts’ opinions were halfway representative of the average consumer’s. I’m not confident Mazda would be comfortable taking the risk of releasing a more performance oriented sedan when SUVs have been selling like crazy the past years.
@@Emil-sh6sq They certainly won't sell any sedans if none are made, or are made inferior to SUVs/crossovers. Even my mom (who isn't a car enthusiast) wants nothing to do with SUVs and buys sedans. Point is, there _are_ regular folk who want sedans.
I'd buy Mazda 6 with this, and manual. I don't need AWD, a plus, but manual is mandatory.
And thats why, Mazda is one of my Fav brands.
So glad we have some real drivers getting behind the wheel of this thing! A three row crossover is definitely not on the top of my list but I'm so excited for this new platform and where Mazda is going.
Wow, look at the interior on that! Mazda has come a long way since the days of my ol' Protege5 wagon, that's for sure 🤣
Nah Mazda has been making above decent interiors for a while now
@@epicpvper9379 really even their 00s interiors on the original Mazda3 & Mazda6 were very good compared to their Toyota and Nissan competitors.
Former Protege5 owner here ✊
every car company freed/divested from Ford became much better off afterwards
@R I miss my wagon. It was a rusty, paint peelin', salvage title 2002 with a manual, base model interior, and 130k miles. But I'll be damned, that thing never let me down
say what you want about mazda, but in my opinion Mazda is one of the best car brands out there, I feel like they're one of the last car brands that still care about the people that enjoy driving, they don't cheap out on things, they think about mechanics so working on mazdas is really refreshing comming from a brand like mercedes, and the best thing, THEY STILL OFFER A MANUAL
Great to see new Inline-sixes being produced.
У Мазда нет денег и технологий на новые двигатели. Эта маленькая компания и они сильны только дизайном и маркетингом.
Would love to see a new MX-6 with this powertrain
2:26 Who’s that guy walking by? That would’ve startled me, car running while sitting in the 3rd row, door open and car unlocked in San Francisco 😄
Looks like he was startled, too. There was a pregnant pause there while he took in the fact that a pedestrian wandered that close to him while he was filming.
100% terror in that moment
That was not San Francisco, but the other side of the bay across the GG Bridge in Marin County.
The other guy: who’s that with a go pro on their head, talking to themself, in the backseat of a running car?
Do people not walk around outside where you come from?
Lane assist and cruise control sounds awesome. When my niece was a toddler, I remember being on the DC Beltway. Trying to keep eyes on the road and the kid was saying "Here!" and handing stuff to me from her car seat in the back seat of the car. If I did not respond, the toddler was not happy.
That's amazing. We have a 2020 CX-9 and I like the way it shifts and drives.
My Subaru is in the shop and my buddy picked me up in one of these to go to the gym. He slammed it, brought a smile to my face. Wasn't expecting that power on something this size.
Wow, looks really good in white. So impressive how much Mazda was able to do given the price-point.
Man I am on the my 3rd CX9 I was waiting for this guy. Man you got me at those twist and turn Mazda really holds it down ! Thank for the video and showing what Zoom Zoom can do Bravo!🎉
I worked in the Car Biz on the Service end for 26 years. Mazda was always one of my favorite manufacturers and this is why. This is one awesome review.
This new wave of redesigned vehicles for almost all brands really makes no one look poor anymore lol. So many nice cars now. Even at an entry price you get all the bells and whistles if you really compare a standard vehicle from just 3 years ago. We’ve come a long way.
That interior looks fantastic
Daaaad, I want a Turbo S!
- We already have a Turbo S at home..
The Turbo S at home:
The 280 hp lower-trim CX-90
I'm definitely feeling to drive portions of this video! Well done!
God this is my dream car. I've been with my 1997 protege since college man I've been saving up but life ain't easy...
Pray for inline 6 Mazda 6
You're definitely enjoying yourself there! This looks like a hoot to drive. Great review!
Great review. I like your style and enthusiasm. Subscribed.
just got yourself a new subscriber. Love the review and how it is focused on the driving experience rather than the features and tech. You covered the features very briefly and to the point and moved on to the driving at the right time. and I'm jealous of the twisty scenic roads you get to drive on.
Thank you!
same here😊
I have a feeling it's gonna be a massive hit for Mazda, I definitely like it myself.
This drivetrain in a chassis competing with cars like the G20 M340i would be AWESOME. I absolutely love the current era of Mazda interiors and would totally consider a Mazda competitor in that class.
I hope they do something like that. Let’s face it though, this has more displacement and less power than the B58 3.0
@@sesh3508 In some trims, the B58 is pretty comparable to this engine. It is certainly conceivable that this powertrain could be trimmed up to compete. We all know it won't happen, but one can wish!
@@sesh3508 displacement doesn't matter in the US at least.
I bet this one is tuned for more torque, and down low. Heads and bigger turbo will move power higher up and pull to redline. Same basic motor, two very different states of tune.
@@papa_ptThat’s true this motor tuned will probably make even more power than the b58. This motor definitely needs to be in a Sedan from Mazda
@@sesh3508 okay maybe wouldn't go that far 😂 but maybe! B58 are hitting unbelievable numbers on stock internals
Yes sedan would be amazing. Mazda honestly has much better EPS system than BMW rn.
In my (son’s opinion) he is really a big fan of Mazda he’s 19 he has only been driving for 2 years he has a Mazda x 5 due he’s 6’2 and when this Mazda comes out in 2024 he really wants it
Nice video by the way keep it up 😊
Congratulations on 1 Million views!!! You deserve it!!!!🎉
Really really really really hope this performs well on the market for them. CX-9 was often (weirdly if you ask me) DEAD last in sales in this segment and Mazda needs all the sales love it can get as a small automaker. As a 6-speed 3 hatch owner I’m rooting hard for them!
really miss my speed3...
i feel like mazda never really promoted the cx-9 as much as their smaller crossovers. i hope this does well mainly to give the cx-70 a chance to come into being.
ben a mazda fan for many many years i always root for mazda i own 2 mazda vehicles a 2022 cx5 and a 2021 mazda 3 hatchback .. most fun car i have ever driven
@@akgonen60 I really, really love my 2015 CX-5 and now I have a 2013 MX-5 as of this month. Both hug the road and just ZOOM ZOOM like crazy. I'm thinking of installing a throttle response controller in the CX-5 to make it as snappy as the straight 4 in the miata but I also like the extremely nuanced stab-method Mazda uses to control throttle. IN LOVE!!!
@@VG-xh7gx i miss driving.. and my speed6. got suspended for 9 months in the thing, ugh gets me in too much trouble hahaha. had 2 mx6's, now speed6, fd converted rx8 next i think. mazda needs to go back to making cool cars
I enjoyed your driving, I felt I was one of the passengers. This car drives almost like a sports car or a sedan the way you accelerate in the corners. Great job Mazda 🏎🏎🏎👍👍👍
Mazda has kinda been solid for quite some time now. They never do anything blatantly wrong.
Nice review! Love the things you point out and notice. Very helpful. Thanks!
CX-90 inline 6 has the WOW factor. I'm getting Cx70... cannot wait!!!
Why get the cx70?? It's the same thing as the cx90 but without the 3rd row, which you can just put down on the cx90...
@@raheelsarvanait was rumored to be a smaller cx90 but it’s disappointingly the same car with 3rd row gone
I work at Mazda Toyota Manufacturing on the Mazda line. While I hate how physical my job is, I love the product. I'm a Mazda fan now...when I can afford it lol. I just need to get back into Cyber.
The vid I was looking for regarding this model!
I loved the review! I felt like I was there, new subscriber here!
Looking forward to the CX-90 Carrara 4 GTS
That interior looks excellent ❤
I’m in love great review
Interior looks great!
Love the sound of the engine👍🏻👍🏻
I got my cx-90 turbo s prem. on Tuesday bc of your vid.
Thanks,
It really looks like a vehicle with a high class interior and great road handling. Very impressive. I might seriously consider that when I get ready for my next vehicle.
This is the car. All I need. How a car should be properly made; made to be driven and loved.
Amazing car. Love the engine, love the exterior, love the interior. Love the way it made you have fun on those backroads. If I had the money, I'd order a CX-60 with an I6.
Really a fan of Mazda, last 5 years they really made the move into luxury without paying for luxury. I have a 2010 Mazda 3 GT, 2.5 with 6 speed manual. Besides a clutch, I havnt made any repairs to the car and it's a fun car to boot around the city with.
I had a 2011 Mazda 3 2.5 6 speed. I can say the shift were butter smooth but the car was slow as can be. The handling was decent but overall the suspension was horrible. Eventually upgraded to an sti and man the 0-60 is literally twice as fast as the Mazda 3 I had.
@Lucian I'm almost 40, and used to ride crotch rockets when I was younger so got the speed out of my system. Just want a small reliable vehicle now, so the Mazda fits the bill to haul my wife and kid around.
@@wojtekswiezak148 I get it I’m almost 35 and I mostly just cruise the fastest I’ve been in my Sti is 90 when I was tuning it. It’s just nice having that power or handling when I need it. For the family I put em in an explorer st.
Models 5, 8 and 9 have many problems, unlike models 2 and 3
Nice weather by the way along with this lovely review....bring more on like this
I love the aesthetics of Mazda.. if I had the money I would def buy this. I would have to compare to BMW, Lexus, and others first but the looks have me sold on this as of rn
I'm loving the colour of that interior I've never owned a car with a none boring black trim can't wait to get my hands on a car with a cool interior, 👏
I’ve heard a lot of people saying that this car isn’t special and that they’d go for a Telluride, Palisade or Pilot over this.
The CX-90 has the first Japanese-made inline 6 in 20 years, since the RB and 2JZ I think. 24 mpg city and 28 mpg highway on AWD standard thanks to it being a mild hybrid.
It’s gonna be pricey despite starting at $40k USD, but if you can get over that, and go for the lower trims it’s a great SUV for enthusiasts imo. I just hope it doesn’t disappoint when I drive one.
Although it seems to everyone in the comments section that this car only exists to be an engine demo lol, nothing but I6 sedan talk.
I think the interior is a class above the Pilot, but I can see why you’d take a Pilot or Telluride. However, a sports sedan with this powertrain and Mazda design? I’m immediately buying it over any of its German rivals
@@realAlexChoi exactly. The CX-90 is it’s own thing, very competitive for what it achieves even if the interior space isn’t as good as the rest.
It’s more of a smaller family car imo.
But like I said, realistically you’re gonna have to sacrifice the higher-power engine (shown in the video) for the lower trims which use a 280 hp version of the inline 6. I hope that doesn’t disappoint, otherwise you’d rather get another car if the speed isn’t much better with the lower-power engine. I really hope it doesn’t disappoint, because I might go for the preferred plus (280 hp I-6) and nothing higher.
@@faheemabbas3965 idk about space, but in terms of interior *design*, Mazdas been killing it, outperforming not only their usual Japanese and Korean competition, but also BMW and Mercedes
@@faheemabbas3965 interior and interior volume is different. Mazda interior luxury touches and fit and finish is in a league of their own
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for months for a driving impression on one of these!
Happy to help!
I'm not sure why it took so long to do this.
Thank you Mazda!.
Great video.
Great review. I loved hearing the excitement in your voice. If I were in the market for this size vehicle, I definitely would take a second look. I'm a long time Mazda enthusiast--I had a Protege, and 3 Mazda3s. Great cars. Keep up the great work!
They’re just such nice cars and I love the company’s aesthetics..
Handsome exterior, beautiful interior, enthusiast friendly driving dynamics and a silky turbocharged inline-6. Mazda knows how to carve out a niche of their own without turning off volume buyers. The inline-6 doesn't have the huge punch of a BMW B58, but then again nobody else does either. BMW engines are insane.
Entertaining driving reviews! Nicely done at showing the capability of the test unit.
Excellent Review.
I love the car! I've been excited for it since I first saw it. I also love your review, keep it up man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It seems to have a better engine sound than most of the modern BMWs. At least to my ear.
The sound we hear in the cabin is completely artificial. Sounds really off. I wish we would get over this phase already
@@jaky3 i agree. My first impression was it sounds very very fake :((
@Makm fake my a s s !!!, this car is Mazda not those garbage ugly piece of crap Tesla EV with fake sounds.
uh oh, nope. Artificially generated engine sound will "only" giving you "good" sense of noise, otherwise too artificial
I drove a CX-9 with just the 2.5L turbo and was really impressed with how responsive and agile it was. This looks like a major step up which is very impressive.
Turning circle was also amazing.
damn mazda. still making the mx 5 the way it is supposed to be, still producing bigger na engines with cool technologies, upped their design and interior quality game... and now an inline six with a great drivetrain and rumors of a rwd mazda 6. these guys are becoming one of my fav brands. i really hope we get a mazda 6 with that drivetrain. serious bmw competition at that point. and the heated seats are even built in without a subscription. insane.
The RWD, I6 Mazda 6 concept has been canceled.
This is making me really excited for the CX70 coming out later this year!
Sounds really good! Sooo smooth
Great video!!
Gorgeous road, gorgeous car, amazing review ☺️!
Thanks a lot!
Pretty badass car to be honest. I think years from now, after everyone finally gets over their “SUVs have ruined the automotive world” cliché declinism, and and the next big automotive trend takes over, and SUVs start to decline in popularity, this car will be sought after by enthusiasts. So many nowadays are overstyled and overpowered, but this one is rather tame and quite beautiful, while also being fast and fun. Mazda did a good job.
Beautiful interior cool looks
the turbo sounds so goood 😭
Men this mazda is beautiful 😍. Mazda is doing a great job, and the interior in the glance of my eye i thoughtit was a bentley for sure
I can't believe i'm saying this.. but i'd have this over a Range Rover!
Economical buy without giving up too much. And probably more reliable.. yes!
@@ariescaisip5498 probably more reliable ? absolutely more reliable
if i could afford it the range rover seems like a cooler choice
Как владелец Мазда и теперь рендж ровер, хочу сказать, что Мазда не сможет конкурировать в высоком сегменте.
@@ilja-sm-n I agree but my RR gave me too much of a headache to outweigh this
masterpiece
Mazda have been very impressive over the last 7 years
I am attracted to this video by the first person view of this gorgeously looking Mazda cabin which has a good mix of colours and materials.
Besides, great job for bringing us these well composed first person driving car review, that bring us audiences to hit the road with car testers in one continuous clip throughout most of the video, rather than just looking at them talking here and there in bits. Well done!
Thank you!
Great car for comfortable drive! 👍
One of the best deisgned Mazda's I've seen in a very very long time. I'm not even into SUV's but I'd drive this myself.
That engine sings!! Thanks for sharing!!
hope you also do a review of it back home, to get more real-world driving impressions with how it's gonna be used 99% of the time, NVH on the freeway, etc
Me too!
That I6 sounds great
Thanks for good and funny review.
Great review, great car! Where was this filmed? Like the roads and nature around.
I saw the initial review for the CX-90 interior from you a few weeks back, and boy have I been excited to see how this thing drives. I was a little disappointed because the speedo doesn't skyrocket like a gt3 or a plaid, but then I remember this is a FREAKING MAZDA SUV and get happy again. Driver's car + driver's review.
What a treat.
It's not a minivan
@@mbenton6 3 row SUV
Whatever you want to call it 😃 it's a big family car.
I love the mdx type S but this looks like a much better value for what you get. Glad to see mazda stepping their game up
mdx probs faster
@@Daniel-pc2ov The MDX Type S is probably faster like you mentioned but not the regular MDX.
No trim on MDX or S model is RWD
Amazing interior design and great quality
Very impressed.. Looks like a great vehicle
I'm just imagining the owner of this car watching this video and freaking out! For a family hauler, it does look sharp and fun to drive and sounds good too. Cant wait to see one in person.
I absolute love that Mazda, looks stuning and Hopefully that Inline-6 can go in some other cars (Like the Mazda 3 and the New Mazda 6)
Absolutely. I wish they would put it in a coupe as well but I know that won't happen.
There will be no new Mazda 6. It's dead.
Saw one of these in person and did not love the actual styling of it in person. The interior is exactly the direction I expect from Mazda because they have been stepping it up
I take that exact route on my motorcycle on dry weekends. Mazda did a good job scouting that for the launch.
