The CX-90 is an all new SUV from Mazda. On the outside you will find a cury shape, 21in wheels and full LED lighting. On the inside you will be greeted by a 12.3in infotainment system, full leather interior and digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is a 3.3L turbocharged inline-6 that is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Mazda has been stepping up big time. Their shift to be a luxurious brand in itself is paying off. This cx90 is really nice inside and out. Good job Mazda!
Yep, the CX-60 here in Europe seems to be a hit too. I've seen a ton of them already. It's the luxury without showing off and saving a lot of money as well.
I agree. Mazda has been killing it with their suvs. All we are missing is a souped up version of their hatchback.
Sit down toyota fanboy. You can't afford any news cars but drive your mommy's yaris car.
@@maga6319 I don't drive a Yaris or a Toyota dipsh!t. Nice try you pos. Go back to your korean brands fanboy
I wouldn’t say they’re doing good until they bring back the Mazda 6 and stop being lazy
I am impressed with this Mazda CX90. It's sharp looking all around, seems well put together, and I like how you reported the good torque and good handling. That's huge. Two thumbs up.
Impressed, but not worth the money.
As my wife and I participated in The CX-90 Drive Experience here in Canada, I also noticed this SUV's amazing turning radius.
I'd definitely choose CX-90 It's stunning & luxurious for a mainstream brand
Mazda did a great job on these two models CX-90 and CX-60. Luxury brand killer. This white paint is gorgeous, even the wheels is so beautiful.
When I bought my wife a CX9, we were not crazy about not having a touch screen. It took no time at all to get use to it and we both love it. Very simple, very user friendly and NO FINGERPRINTS.
I know exactly what you are saying! Thank you for sharing that great insight!
Love the sarcasm about missing kids 😂
Thank you for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you!
He put that fox 🦊 looking dog he’s got back there
Need the time stamp
10:39. You're welcome!
Your unbiased car reviews are hands down some of the best things to watch on KZhead. Love the quality as well. Thanks Team Raiti.
He's the best
1 million subs.... Congrats ........ Joe Raiti the hardest working man in Car reviews, well deserved my friend.. Thanks for all the rides Joe Love your channel...
This vehicle is very nice, and I think they would sell these like crazy at $55K. The $62K price tag seems a little bit steep for a Mazda - even though this definitely is the nicest Mazda to date.
Agree 100% . Should’ve topped out at 55k. That would’ve DEFINITELY make this a top seller in its category
Your just paying for that high output engine that also need’s premium fuel to get the 340hp. Honestly the lower output 280hp premium plus is plenty for most people and that’s only 55k
Agreed
You can get one for just over $40K and plenty of trims in between the base model and top of the line $62K. Most people will buy one of the mid trims for about $50-55K anyway. It’s a bargain for what you get considering what the competitions cost.
For Mazda? What does ti mean? Mazda is in 2nd place in terms of quality after Toyota
Kinematic Posture Control, first introduced last year on MX-5, is responsible for minimizing the body roll on 2024 CX-90 as well.
The always VERY specific food references for size of storage is my favorite, LOL. You always crack me up on these videos. Thank you! Your vids are so helpful.
I really appreciate you letting me share the laughs and the cars with you Lauren!
For someone that really shouldn't like this segment of cars/SUVs, I am oddly in love with this car/SUV. I think they hide the look of 3rd row well, which explains why the 3rd row is so tight. Like you said Joe, compromise. I definitely have my eye on the PHEV. Will have to test drive it next time I'm at the dealer. Good job on the review Joe and Lori, and excellent camera work to Steven.
Great job… We bought the CX9 Carbon a couple years ago and my wife loves it. Enjoyed the review - well done… it was very thorough and just what I want in a review. Thanks for putting it thru the paces as you demonstrated the performance side I was curious about. The CX-90 may just be our next upgrade! Thank you and your team!
That is so wonderful! Thank you for letting me share it with you!
I picked up a 23 Mazda3 Turbo Hatchback. I have been nothing but impressed and amazed with where Mazda has taken their lineup. Their showrooms are just packed with gorgeous vehicles.
What an awesome ride and your reviews are top notch. I drive a Mazda 3 and I love the control knob.
Another great video and review. Keep those cars coming 🦾🦾
As always Joe theee best review out of them.all!!! Mazda came thru with this family hauler! Keep up the good work! On to 2 million viewers ON THROTTLE HERE WE GO!!
Great review, as always! The infotainment does have the option for touch but is disabled by default and can be enabled in the menus. With CarPlay, the buttons around the infotainment control knob jump between different functions such as navigation/home/and music which is great. The engine cover is large, but it is hinged so that it can be clipped up to the hood. As a CX-9 owner, one thing I noticed and appreciate is how the door trim wraps under the car, so the inside of the door stays nice and clean (do my own detailing). We love our CX-9 for the most part, but just past 4.5 years the oil control valve starting leaking oil and took it to Mazda for repair. The acknowledged the leak, but rather than a repair, sent me home with a service bulletin to show that the leak has to be "dripping wet" for them to do a repair under warranty. Not a fan of oil leaking onto garage floor. While looking into this issue, came across the fact the Mazda 2.5T engine produced before June 2020 are prone to cylinder head cracking around the exhaust manifold. Mazda has a bulletin for this as well, but has not extended anything related to the warranty. So, while our Mazda has been mostly great, I'm reluctant to keep a vehicle that's a ticking time bomb from a great company that doesn't have the resources to stand behind their products. Good luck all.
I’m on my 4th new Mazda between wife and I. My first was a used hand me down from my parents who are Mazda people since 1989. But the new ones have all been bullet proof so far including my 2016 CX-9. Hopefully it holds up. I have a 2016 Mazda 3 that is sitting in the garage now and I have a 2021 CX-5 that I leased for myself. I haven’t had to test Mazda on their warranty service but I’m really disappointed to hear about how your experience has been with them. I would not be happy at all. I think highly of Mazda but like auto insurance the test comes when you need help. It would take a lot to steer me towards another brand unless it was Lexus but I’m considering them for next time around. I was at their local dealer Wednesday putting my hands on new products as my CX-5 lease ends next May. I plan on another Mazda but with some inheritance I received I thought about taking $20k from it and upgrading to Lexus from Mazda. Who knows if I’ll actually do that. I feel like $45k is plenty to spend for a really good car but times are changing quickly and it seems $40k is the new $20k. I’m a newly minted doctor and my wife who is 4 years older is an obstetrician and we will start leasing all of our vehicles from now on. I feel it’s in the budget to step up on price even though I rather spend the money on our home. But I compromise with her to keep the peace in our marriage lol.
Lost sales for this review. Thanks for you honesty.
Mazda’s no touch screen thing is great to see. No fingerprints plus it’s safer to use a knob while driving.
Right I Hate dirty screens.
No thanks
Absolutely not. Not having a touch screen is a big mistake
Also they have have been having a lot of ghost touching issues with their touch screens currently getting mine replaced and my core irked has the same issue
It’s a partial touch screen.
Great job with the review. As you pointed out, there are compromises. I've driven the car and you are right on with how it drives and feels. Very impressive for it's size. I just wish Mazda could have done a better job with the interior cargo space. I would personally like a little wider usable space in the rear and a better designed and usable layout of space with all the seat folded. I did the "golf club test" at the dealer. It failed the test. A set of golf clubs does not fit well "width wise" in the back. The interior rear cargo width of our Audi Q5 and Subaru Outback both have wider usable space than the much larger CX-90. I also notice the unlike say a BMW X7, the back of the Mazda's second row seats are made like the back of the front seats. Does that rarely used 3rd row really need a plush seat back with pockets to use? Personally, I would rather have the seat backs of this second row be of a material like in most folding seats, that when folded you have a nice cargo area to use without worrying about scratching and damaging the back of the seats. Essentially in the top trim, this is 4 adult and 2 small children car. That's not much for how big the car is. You better make the best and most utility and cargo carrying capacity of it if you do this. That said. The interior quality looks great and it's one of the nicest driving SUV's with power, torque and good fuel economy out there.
Does the Raiti family sleep? 😂 I just came here to watch the video about the Mach-E you posted a day or two ago and I found more two new videos. 😮 It's impressive how you guys manage to conciliate quantity and quality.
You deserve the best and I want to bring it!
I was at my local Mazda dealer to put my name on the (long) waiting list for a CX-50.For the fun, I did a road test of the CX-90. I love it so much that I finally ordered a top of the line Signature CX-90 (Canadian spec). Delivery at the end of July.
Great, great review. I just bought the CX-90 5 days ago. I upgraded from the CX-5. Wow, what a difference. I'm very satisfied with the car and the performance. I bought the plug in hybrid. I love this car.
Thank you for your video, very insightful.
Loving the color matching fender wells
Congrats on the 1 Million Subscribers 🔥
This is an absolutely beautiful SUV. Grew up as a fan of the RX7, Millenia, 626, 929, Protégé MP3, etc. Always respected the MX5/Miata for everything that it offered. LOL 😂 glad they’ve gotten away from the smiley face grilles! The CX90 will definitely turn heads and make people ask what is that!? When they see it
Looks good inside and out, turbo straight 6 with the 8 speed and that steering wheel is straight out of a bentley!
Thank you for all you videos. They really help with trying to figure out what type of suv we wanted to get. After multiple views, visits to the different dealers your videos and detail on the videos helped us validate what we wanted to purchase. We just purchased a 2023 Acura MDX Type S Advance and we love it. Thanks for all the information you and your wife provide! Tiger Eye Pearl with orchid interior.
Cant wait fir the CX-70. That's the sweet spot
15:14 Brady Baby!.. lol, i roll around with my Buccaneers Brady bobble-head in my glove department. 🤣
Joe, I agree with you, it needs dual pipes in the back and fog lights… did you notice any issues with the transmission jerking? Some reviewers have mentioned it. I don’t know whether it’s wet clutch type or what. Your comments are always important when making purchase decisions. Keep up the good work bro….best regards
It is wet
These manufacturers have been getting a lil bit ridiculous with the prices. They want 55k for a new acura integra and now 60k for a Mazda. Are you kidding me
For a Family Hauler, this seems to hit the sweet spot for me. It's practical, affordable, nicely appointed and more dependable than any Kia/Hyundai wannabe. IMHO.
I really like the way this looks and the inside is nice and clean.
Joe, The painted wheel well trim looks really sharp. I wish more manufactures would paint the trim. I'm guessing that its expensive to do. Good review. This really more compares to the Acura MDX rather than the Pilot.
Exactly. I think that's what Mazda wanted
Its only painted in the highest trim, the Turbo-S Non Turbo-S trims have plastic wheel well trim
Yes, and at a cost of thousands less!
Yea I think the companies save a lot of money not painting the wheel arches and they sort of claim it’s an active lifestyle vehicle with the black cladding visible. I will say it’s nice leaving it black when a door opens from another vehicle and hits your wheel arch.
Yes it compares to the Acura MDX Type S which has 355 hp 354 torque.
Thanks for the review 😎 I have the same color trim but with the white interior and the car is amazing and fun to drive.
Nobody gets into it like this guy the best keep it coming king!!
Mazda has truly raised the bar with this model.
I feel like after watching Raiti for a few years and hearing him introduce the review with the manufacturers history, I have it memorized because he says it on all of the videos! Hahaha. When he said, “Mazda….” I knew I would hear the word “cork” 2-3 seconds later. Lol 😂
Great review as always! Thanks Joe. Can you review the base model?
My wife’s best fiend test drove this in Bergen County NJ, she went bonkers over it, said it drive like a dream , and felt like she was in a Porsche Cayenne interior, apparently , a home run for Mazda
we currently have a Volvo XC90, and I was looking at the BMW X7. Then this came up on one of my commercials. I've yet to see it in person but WOW it looks modern,luxurious,eye catching,sleek and for today's prices very affordable! Will definitely be visiting a local Mazda.
I enjoy watching your videos. “Extra 3 kids that you didn’t know about “ hilarious 🤣
The turn signal indicators are also part of the DRL at front.
This is so very true!
It's always a great day when Joe, Lori and the crew upload!
That means the world David!
Sir, thanks for the review. Not only your videos are informative but very entertaining. Love the way you came up analogies (eg. s**d arm rests are like those tooth picks) :-).
What's making the increase in hp for the Turbo S? Is it just 93 octane and more aggressive fuel mapping in the ecu? Maybe I missed it, but curious to your thoughts on this vs mdx type s.
This is such a gorgeous vehicle. Would be a no brainer for me if I could afford it.
Agreed with the rear wiper !
Funny as always, thanks for the great review!
I saw one in person and it’s really classy suv got say totally completes with the other luxury suvs woudl have been nice if the power seats controls were chrome that’s would had been a nice touch but besides that it’s nice classy suv good job Mazda and if your remember old Mazda zoom zoom ❤
Glad to see this beautiful CX-90 powered with an inline-6. I'm holding on for the 2-row CX-70.
RIP this guy.
Joe, great review.
I use apple car play but it love the infotainment using the knob is more practical and safe.
Your point about the corner drl is spot on
Proud owner, I vinyl wrapped the chrome in black and makes the rims pop even more. I just wish Mazda revamped the infotainment system.
62k is craazy honestly
My mother brought a 2018 Kia Sorento 2.2 litre diesel when it came out for $60,000 NZD. Still going strong to this day!
@@thewolfwhocriesa big hell no
@@mbenton6 that diesel engine man. Chuck it in Sports mode, it hits different
@@thewolfwhocries make sure it does catch fire
@@mbenton6 geez guy/girl, that is NOT a nice thing to say! Get some class
Love the interior! Looking forward to cx70……😊
Stay tuned Tom! I will have it for you!
I like the direct control knob to control the infotainment.
22:46 lol that slip so funny
Great review!
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
Totally imported from Japan. This one has all the luxury inside out- the perfectionism and combustion engine- inline six accelerations smoothly.
I was going to buy one of these but am willing to wait for a few more production years to go by. It's a new trans with dual clutch so see if any hic ups develope over time. It's fun as hell to drive. It needs fog lights!!!
Hi Joe, great review, so you recommend it as compared to grand highlander? Whats your advice?
If you need maximum space go Grand Highlander, and if you want the better driver go CX-90!
Thanks
GREAT REVIEW as usual but crossing that 1M subs i wish u step up your editing game and show us photos images or short clips in your "whats going on" part about historical cars and also later when u talk about different trims and engines u can add photo or two ? 🤔
Great review...gotta pop open that cover to see how the engine sits in the compartment
Is the rear view mirror using a camera or old school mirror? Do the side mirrors power fold?
Love the review. You need to start comparing Mazda to Lexus, bmw, and Mercedes though because this engine and rwd architecture blows Honda and Kia out of the water. Comparing them to proper luxury vehicles makes Mazda a real value for performance, luxury, and price
I like the wheels, they give the illusion of movement. I don't mind the infotainment control; I had a mouse pad in my 2010 RX350. Love the inline 6, which I had in a 2003 BMW 330 ci. Love the hybrid, cause you ain't getting 28 mpg in an MDX. Zoom zoom!. P.s., why did you punish the tires like that? 😁👍🏻
I really like the CX90, but don't need three rows, I can't wait for the reveal of the upcoming, hopefully very soon CX70. I hope it's a 10 inch shorter version of that. That I would certainly consider purchasing. Love the zoom zoom, the interior, especially that color combo and the white isn't bad either.
I hate to disappoint you but it's already been confirmed the cx70 will have the same exterior dimensions as the cx90. But without 3 rows. Not happy about it but will wait a few more months when they debut.
@@sshamon72 Disappointing, but I'm still interested to see it and learn more of the details. That really makes no sense to me.
@@sshamon72Do you have a source for this confirmation? I thought this was still a rumor 😅
@@joecovey2235 Yes me too. Although I think the CX-5 is the perfect size and not interested in the CX-50, the CX-70 may be what I want. I follow a Mazda salesman in KZhead for all Mazda news. His name is Jonathan Sewell.
@@sshamon72 that's absolutely ridiculous. ah well.
Mazda is the brand to go to. Have owned many many Mazdas in my life and have never had a single problem with the car, the sales people, the service departments. Unlike this P.O.S Subaru Im driving now, such a mistake changing brands. Great review as always Joe
why is the SUBI a POS?
12:16 with no woofer in the door, that pocket coulda/shoulda been larger. but i do like the mid & tweeter being semi co-located in the door/sail.
Rented this car for a week. It is glorious. Would seriously take this over an Audi Q7
Wow who is renting these things already ?
Maybe you mean the CX9
He tried to say snickers at 22:49, but…. Lol😅
I like this better than both of those Suvs you just mentioned joe
One of the best SUVs money can buy! This engine, turbo, and mild hybrid setup would be nice in a brand-new Mazda 6 AWD with 350-400 horsepower. I agree with you, Joe that Mazda should have never gone away from marketing itself as the ZOOM ZOOM brand. Great review by you and Steven.
Rear bias AWD at that😉
If you're on a budget for sure. This SUV is junk
I think Mazda did a great job on the CX-90. Everything but the price point. All over them are about 5k more than they should be. If they dropped MSRP 5k on all levels they'd sell these like hot cakes.
MSRP is a suggestion. Go in and negotiate for that 5k
This is far more superior to the Telluride. The Telluride looks nice but I have never mistaken it to be Luxury. The Mazda is Beautiful!!!!❤❤❤
Now my SUV to buy!
Heck yeah Jeremiah!
I just got the CX90 Select(base model) for 4k below msrp of 41.5k. No other car has the features this base model has at 37.5k plus tax fees.
I feel all the perfection in that car 😍 nice job mazda ❤
Reatis knows all the food that can get in the door pockets 😂 ,, i really love this Guy 💌
Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video 👍 💯💯
What is amazing about the CX-90 is the exterior look. It is huge without that big bulky look.
You are so very right about that!
Phenomenal review. Mahalo 🤙
I think this Mazda is gonna give Honda and everyone else the run for their money. If i to buy an SUV, this one will be my choice. Thank's Joe, and Congratulations on 1million subs you guys deserve the very best!
Go sleep😅
Honda is a lost cause. They lost their ball long time ago.
Very well dressed up Joe. Nice Ride
❤loving it and you made me love it even much more … my only dislike my one and only is the No exposing exhaust tips oh boy if only they were back there showing boldly 😂
That is so awesome! I am glad that I could share it with you!
Great review! One question I have is what’s that whine inside the car while your accelerating? Is that the hybrid part making that noise ? Thanks man.
I’m fairly sure it is the electric motor because the CX90 I have has a similar whine. I was also watching a Rivian SUV review and the electric motors did have a whine to them audible on the inside of the cabin.
@@user-jw6ul9dq5x Thanks for telling me about that, I didn’t know that it had its sound that make sense, it would be nice if it were quieter but maybe that’s something they will work on in the future , it reminded me of a supercharger whim lol .
You didn’t mention the 3rd row air vents are next to your knees. For a midsize SUV that is 200 inches long, I would expect an interior larger than a Highlander. Even the FWD-based CX-9 has the same problem
i love the engine covers looks so professional.
I am glad that you are digging this one.
Beautiful side profile. Very Jaguar-esque!
Whoa boy! way to bring it back onto the rode like a pro. Keep it goin, nothing to see here! LOL @ 22:46.
this headcam style when driving is my favorite hope to see this in all videos instead of the face/ dash cam style
Only thing I will change is the wheels. It'd be great if Mazda kept the wheel design but make 22 inch instead of 21. That can be an easy fix with Lexani's anyway. Overall, I might just go for this, then add 2 entertainment screens for 2nd row.
Don't forget MAZDA's final assembly point is in Hofu Japan, and this is a big deal
I like the wheel - easy to keep clean - brake dust will blend right in!
The cork messed me up but thank God you explained the class of cork you meant
