Yuri, I totally get what you mean about the eco system. I have a 2016 CX-5 and ordered a 2023 CX-5 and love the rotary dial life. I have elantras and Corollas at work and I hate using that touch screen, especially when I'm on a bumpy road, my finger keeps moving when I want to select stuff. Plus no finger prints if I don't use the touch screen.
Side Note: I asked on Twitter to confirm the apple car play touch screen working while driving and I appreciate that you guys snuck it into this video. My 2016 CX5 has no CarPlay so couldn't test it myself.
Last year drove Hyundai Kona with Lane Keep Assist. It was the best lane keeper I've ever drove: it keeps the best trajectory on any speed and do it very comfortable. The second place I give to Opel Grandland. Interesting is it the same over all cars in Hyundai.
As a current Hyundia and Mazda owner, Mazda all the way. The Korean brands do not stand up over time like the Japanese. Never mind the countless recalls and class action lawsuits (over $2B in warranty and recalls for Q3 2022, enough said), they fall apart as they age. The CX90 is built in Japan, along with most of their other models. My 5 decades working with nearly every manufacturer tells me stick with one of the 3 Japanese brands (Toyota Honda Mazda)
The Palisade for sure is a nice rig and offers good value, but the CX-90 is absolutely worth the extra $$. The Mazda is soooooooo much better looking inside and out, faster and handles much more competently. We picked up a new Acura MDX A-Spec in the last year and if the CX-90 was available at the time, we almost certainly would have went that route.
I think all these reviews are sleeping on the lower trim CX-90s. Mazda always has really good value options, and the trim levels always feel very fairly equipped. The inline six really helps with the premium feeling, not sure it really matters if it has more HP or not. 280hp in base trim is more than adequate. Whatever the first trim that unlocks the bigger rims is probably the sweet spot.
Palisade/Telluride definitely are still the van its segment. However, I prefer the Mazda chassis, powertrain and over quality/refinement for an extra $10k if I was to keep it for 6+ yearslue king i
you compared highest Mazda CX 90 trim with lowest or mid tier Palisade trim. I really wanted to see the difference in trims at similar prices. E.g. Calligraphy vs Turbo Premium plus
After the blatant price gouging from Hyundai over the pandemic, I will never buy another Hyundai (or Kia) for the rest of my life. In fact I just bought a 2025 CX-70 Turbo S Premium Plus and thoroughly enjoy my excellent purchase price AND seeing all those Hyundais in my rearview.

Very interested car
My favourite car mazda CX 90😊
Mazda did their thing with this one
Kudos to the reviewer for this detailed comparison! It's refreshing to see two strong contenders in the SUV market.

That tan and black interior on the Mazda is on I've always had black interiors but would totally get this in the cx90.
The interior was really nice

Mazda CX-90 is the best, Mazda always do an outstanding job on every vehicle they produce
I use the blind spot camera views all the time in my Genesis! It works great!
that cx90 looks so much better in and out

The SOUL RED CRYSTAL METALLIC is also available for the CX-00

I cannot believe how fast that mazda went into production
How the pick up VS that 2021 X6 Bimmer? Close?
🔥💯

R u using hand controls (portable) or are you using the foot pedals?
I'm using portable hand controls

That Palisade is rocking quite the Hitler mustache from the front.
The mazda screams BMW and I like it ngl
I can see that too
CX-90 by far is a better buy.

More power, better FE, better driving dynamics, more premium interior... I'll take the Mazda.
I currently own a 2020 CX-9 AWD Signature and there is NO CHANCE that I would pay $60K for ANY vehicle with a Mazda badge on it. Give me the Palisade.
