Third Row Seats are always made for kids, always. Car reviewers like giving the impression that car companies don’t design the 3rd row well, it’s disingenuous. My advice, hire a kid for the 3rd row, that would be a fair review.
Love the power, torque, smoothness of that inline6. Driving dynamics is superb for its size. The rwd bias is fun to drive on the twisties. Definitely a top choice compare to similar price subaru evoltis and hyundai palasade
I replace those Toyos with Michelin Primacy SUV+. Now my CX5 drives more like a luxurious SUV, quiet and refine ride. A little sacrifice on the sharp steering. Just a little.
Here in the Philippines car reviews are mainly those of cheaper cars. Go above ₱2 million and the reviews thin out rapidly. Good luck finding test drives of cars from Mercedes Benz or BMW, and if you find those, usually it's just a showroom tour of the car. So it's good to see that Auto Industriya was able to take this CX-90 out for a spin. Yeah it's not a Mercedes but it's quite expensive, at the level of a C-class already in terms of pricing.
The smoothness of gas engine specially this inline6 is second to none. With its 450nm of torque pulling power feels like driving a diesel engine but with added gorgeous sound.
not a good car according to the car care nut the engine and tranny is complicated another thing is its only a mild hybrid with only 48v battery i dont why they doe said its a hybrid when it cannot propel the car with electric alone
Don't call not having an ottoman is a compromise. Mazda buyers buys a mazda tor it's driving dynamics, not to seat behind and be driven by somebody else. Your logic of having a driver to drive you around is only applicable in the Philippines and other 3rd world countries. The CX90 was designed specifically for the North American market. CX80 for the European. Either way, it the best you could afford in the US is 1 or 2 CX90, you can't afford to have a personal driver in the US. The average salary of a driver in the PH is 15-25,000 PHP per month, the average salary of a driver in the US is around P180,000/month. Having the amenities of the likes of an alphard is not the market that this was designed for.
I am more inclined to the cx9 just because of the price even though it is about to be phased out because of the arrival of the cx90. But if you have the moolah, go for the 90 since it’s the newer car, newer interior, exterior and features and engine.
@@jericoleandrocortado9735 If you had to choose something now (2024), I would prefer CX9 (and madami pa silang stocks nito sa Mazda Alabang).

Either should be fine. Pero, if I were to buy it within 2024, I would choose CX9 kasi matured na ang platform and the bugs / glitches have been fixed (those built after 2021 have fixed the cylinder gasket issue). Sa CX90, transmission needs refinement (though software updates have been released) and may solution na rin para sa Steering Wheel Worm Gear mechanism.
The CX90 was voted as Mototrend's most dissapointing car last year. Same complaints the suspension and transmission lacks refinement I think Mazda needs to improve on this, but the interior looks great.
Your guys taxes there in PH is just off the roof. A bnew mustang (base) in the US will cost you lees than 2M PHP, but over there it's 3Mphp+/-. A Bnew base CX90 in the US starts at 2M PhP, top of the line is around 3M PhP or 60k USD

The way you review the cx90 is like comparing to a alphard when it comes to space. It’s not a full size SUV. Trying to fit in a 3rd you with your size and blame the design is not fair. You are being picky in an unreasonable way. And the aim of mazda when it comes to handle is the balance of luxury and sportiness when it comes to riding to have connections to the road to feel the performance of inline 6. Magic carpet ride for that price? Try a maybach. Very bad review from your side.
The car has been awesome for the past months only issue is jolty shifting from 10-20kph as per mazda a software update will fix this but no update on when they will update this. For a 3m plus car its a deal breaker. Power is amazing though but if you want comfort get a palisade. Before you buy test drive, the jolty shifting takes some time to get used to.
Interesting question: Given na 600,000 PHP ang pagitan between CX9 and CX90 (as of February 2024), mas makakatipid ka ba with the CX9? (e.g. slightly higher fuel consumption......pero yung cheaper price ni CX9 can pay for the higher fuel expense?)
@@blackcyborg009 I haven’t tried CX9. So, I don’t know exact fuel figure of that. But, definitely I did not buy CX90 due to its fuel economy but its style, design and performance. Inline 6 is one of main reasons why I chose this over other vehicles with 4 cylinder engines.
When it comes to low speed driving and especially during stop and go traffic, a suzuki espresso's auto transmission outperforms the CX90's sophisticated hybrid multiplate clutch pack transmission in terms of smoothness. 😉

For me i would be convinced with that SUV but sadly it doesnt offer a diesel engine like any typical SUV here in Philippines :(

Sa Australian market, may 3.3 Diesel engine variant sila for their CX90.
No one of your size should be in the 3rd row anyway.
Everything is nice except the space. The aspect where Mazda sucks

Evoltis or cx 90
Call its luxury sibling “Dazma.” Ye know, where the 1% lives. 😂
We see what you did there 🤣
Very good review, informative, the only thing the second row seat 2 seater only.
mazdas are all about the driving experience.
Is this coding exempted?
Yes coding exempt.
Palagay ko nakita ko na ang gusto ko.
Sir vince pls help. which is better overall cx 9 or 90? almost a million differnce in price is it worth it? Thanks po.
Not naman whether one is better or the other. But i would test both and see which fits your needs better.

Meron b sila variant na hind hybrid. . im not fun of hybrid
For CX90, puro Mild Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid lang ang global powertrain lineup.
If you want non-hybrid, baka CX-9 might be more favorable sa iyo.
All CX-90s models are either mild hybrid of PHEV.
This is a good review. Sir, if you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Just want to know for reference. 🙂🙏

It would be very interesting if Mazda PH would bring in the CX-70 AKA the CX-90 w/o the 3rd Row here!
I saw the other reviews of CX90 and they have power folding capability on the third-row. Not sure why it is not here.
this could've been more affordable if not for the freaking inflation.
Value stays the same in an inflation/deflation

Many reviewers abroad say the ride is too firm. Is it true?
I also want to know about this in regards to PH roads
It's there in the vid 😊
@@vince.pornelos Say compared to the cx9? The cx9 rode very well.
Yup it's firmer than what we expected. We think they could do with more fine tuning in the suspension department.
The brand wanted a luxury SUV, but the engineers wanted to create a driver's car. They can achieve both if they went with a variable suspension set up.
It might be attributed to its 21" wheels.
Hoping that the PHEV variant will be sold here as well.
Yup that would be nice.
Along with the CX90 Diesel Mild Hybrid variant that they sell in Australia
Hi, can you also do an in depth review of Mazda CX-8?
Test drove both CX-90 and CX-70 both with V6…CX-70 is a better choice
V6?

This would have been an easy choice if it had the 340hp tune. Sadly, we in the Philippines always get the scraps
I wonder if detuned sya kasi Euro 4 quality ang fuel natin (hence why we only got the 280 HP tune).
Maybe someone can confirm (?)
