Which one would you take?
Mazda CX90 top trim in the TURBO S model
Easy. The one that’s a real luxury car
Not the dressed up rav4
why the lexus hate lol let's hate on the TX500h because it's a rebadged toyota GH Hybrid max with things taken from the RX500h rear steering etc. @@naveenthemachine
@@naveenthemachine KOREAN FAN BOY And Lexus HATER. GET A LIFE. TX IS NOT A UPGRADED RAV4 AT ALL. SO SHUT UP
@@KuyaArbee the rear steering probably doesn’t do anything
I never knew how nice Mazda could be until I took an Uber in one of these. The excellent ride quality was notable!
I test drove both back to back. The cx90 has very stiff suspension. My head was bouncing off the head rest. The tx felt bumps still, but is was smooth and my head wasn't Bumping. The Q7 eith air suspension is noticeable back to back as well.
The look, the feel, the price, the power, …
Mazda all the way.
There is no luxury car as reliable as Lexus but Mazda looks good.
No question about it. You are speaking facts my friend!
The CX90 clearly has the premium look both inside and out over the TX provided that you're getting the top of the line Signature/Turbo S Premium. That being said, the TX is the well thought-out product overall even as I have a hard time justifying the 25k (CAN) or 15k (US) extra over the Mazda. And there is also a higher TX550+ (a V6) which is even more expensive. The TX still has the cheaper look but is easier to live with while the CX90 has the looks and driveability but sacrifices practicality.
The Mazda Loco looks cheap
The Mazda has a decent interior for sure, but it does feel more cramped abd the ride is bumper.
Sitting in the TX does feel surprisingly basic but it does feel more luxurious due to the black theme, quieter and softer ride.
Mazda design is more graceful. Cannot say anything but good things about Lexus reliability and quality as well. Both are outstanding.
I believe in the Long run, that The Lexus will be worth a lot more and be way way way more durable and reliable!
@SamCarLegion, in the Mazda, to exit the 3rd row, you can slide the second row seat forward using the same upper lever that is used to tilt it forward.
He is an idiot !
With all due respect to Lexus TX and the so-called "reliability" issue, the Mazda CX 90 looks much classier inside and out.
Mazda door look so flat. Bad taste just like you.
In terms of interior and exterior design, there is no car in the industry to beat Mazda
Looking at the Mazda logo on the steering wheel makes me want to throw up.

I got with Mazda all the way!!
mazda looks way better then lexus obvious chioce
Sold my 2024 CX-90 PHEV the other day. Was considering the TX PHEV but it’ll be a while, so I bought a 24 Telluride SC Prestige. It’s AMAZING. THE tech, ride, and space are way better than Mazda. THE Mazda is the best looker though.
Sold the Mazda since @MazdaUsa refused to repair the faulty rack and pinion. Expect a recall. My dealer was the real culprit, so I didn’t want to have to deal with them anymore. Stay away from the Mazda. Mazdas are dependable, but this brand new product has been nothing but problematic. Also, the steering is too heavy.
@@carsbykev7037 I like the telluride but their reliability is holding me off from them
@@acort10 Kia has one of the best reliabilities of all makers. And Tellurides have been trouble free since introduced. I’m assuming you’re talking of Kia / Hyundai issues 2007-2013? These are not those. I’m a vehicle guru: you’re safe with Kia. However, if you are afraid of reliability: stay away from that Mazda. As I mentioned, Mazda as a whole has been good. But not this product.
Only after your final car payment you wish it was the Lexus (or a Toyota for that matter).
@@seikocitizenwatchesnobody which it was a Lexus, I don’t know why your Toyota fans think people shouldn’t buy another car apart from Toyota or Lexus . You think Lexus don’t have their own problems
Not a fan of the Lexus minivan … the Mazda actually looks fun and very interesting to drive especially with the new engine.
To get a more accurate legroom space, you have to move all the seats all the way back (front and middle seats). Both cars actually have the same front seat legroom at 41.7 inches each. The middle seats are practically the same, 39.4 inches for the CX-90 and 39.5 inches for the TX-500h. The rear seats is where the big difference exists at 30.4 inches for the CX-90 and 33.5 inches for the TX-500h. The TX-500h also has about 1.5 to 2.5 inches advantage in shoulder room in all three rows and it also has more generous headroom and cargo space.
Your camera quality is top notch! not sure which one you are using but it stands out among the best out of all the viewers
as a RX500hF SPORT LEVEL 3 owner! that LEXUS TX is not worth 30k more than a fully loaded CX90.... Let's be HONEST!
And tbh the RX and tx arent real luxury cars
A loaded cx90 is like $60k and a tx500 is about $75k.
TX is significantly larger so it would be worth the $15k difference if you need a usable 3rd row.
@@naveenthemachine 😂😂. RX And TX ARE LUXURY SUVS WITHOUT A Question. ONLY ONES WHO THINK ITS NOT A KOREAN FAN BOYS And ONLINE TROLLS LIKE You WHO DRIVES A 2002 HYUNDAI SONATA .😂😂

@@michaelmi790315k is significant. You could buy a used car for that price.
This is not the first full size Mazda 3 rows bro, they had CX-9 before CX-90
And the had a mpv before also
Just get the grand Highlander unless you need that Lexus badge. My money would be for the cx90 with an inline 6 vs a turbo 4.
Hi, we have the new lexus. In the canadian winter it is actually way easier than everyone else, because since the door handle doesn't actually have any moving parts, it can't get jammed with ice and you can confidently pull on the handle as hard as you feel like it without fear of ripping it out like other cars since it is one solid piece. It is actually better than regular door handles for winter. thank you for this review. Also I feel like the target audience for Lexus is generally older folks wanting luxury vehicles. Also the lexus will probably outlast the mazda by a 100k km
Interesting points about the winters and target customer. I'm a bit younger (no kids yet) and I've taken my new Mazda into the mountains of Northern California for camping/hiking trips in very remote areas of high elevation. My grandmother lived in Pennsylvania and she had the problem on her Volkswagen vehicles most of her life. Even in snow/icy conditions with sub-freezing temperatures, I haven't had any problems with doors on my Mazda. It's good to know that manufacturers are engineering them with this in mind.
That said: I'm not sure that I agree with your vehicle life assessment. Mazda has reinvented itself. Most of their vehicles are built in the same factories (and with the same shared workforce) as Toyota and Lexus. Moreover, the Mazda parts that are problematic on BMWs and Mercedes are really good (the engineer in me notices these things). I also like the fact that the Mazda avoided the CVT that Toyota Corporation has embraced. Although Toyota does a better job than most, they are a bit jarring in how they work and the life-span of CVTs is quite limited.
Is it possible/comfortable to put the second row flat and use it as a foot rest while sitting in the third row? 😎
Mazda has the more premium look, an inline 6 wow. I’m sure the Lexus is a great vehicle but I can’t get over the fact that it looks much like a 2009 Camry. Definitely Mazda would be my option.
Hmmm...tough choice. I really like the mazdas dash design and materials as well as the exterior design details, but i would still take the lexus. I think the lexus is just a bit more of what I'd rather drive every day.
Exactly I feel e same way!!!
For me the Lexus....although the Mazda is a very nice car. Lexus is so rock solid build and reliable.
i’ve got a new mazda 3 2023 hatchback in machine gray and boy… i must say, mazda is giving this luxury cars a run for their money!! a mazda cx 90 in a near future will definitely a great family car goal someday 💯💯💯
Enjoy your female vehicle 😂😂😂
@@bluesky3694 the 4th gen mazda3? a female vehicle?? what on earth kind of opinion is that.
Mazda cx90 new car amazing! So beautifull
The Mazda is actually priced higher than the Lexus for American dealerships, which actually is justified.. The difference in class is obvious between these cars and unlike Lexus, Mazda has heritage and has been around for generations WITH a Motorsport pedigree. And honestly, if we look at history, Mazda has been making premium vehicles longer than Lexus has been alive. Every company has their unique drawbacks, but like Volvo, Mazda has persevered and payed their dues to be justified as a premium offering🤷♂️
Have a Merry Christmas Sam!
I have the Lexus NX . no issues with door handles in winter
Thanks
I have not seen any other reviewer have so much difficulty getting in and out of the CX-90s 3rd row. 🤔
UPDATE.
Have watched several of Sams videos. Almost every vehicle he reviews he does not lpullift up the 2d row when sitting in the 3rd row.
For some reason, when he sits in the back of the CX90 he lifts up the 2d row and then says he can’t figure out how to get out!?!?🤷
That's because all of the others realized that the seat slides forward with the same top lever that tilts it forward...
Space in the rear cannot determine whether the price difference is justifiable. I have an lx600 f sport and a cx90 turbo s premium plus. cx90 has more room in the 2nd row, third row, and the back. Yet the lx is over 113k usd and is worth it. Fit and finish are both excellent. I’m finding myself driving the cx90 more and more than the lx. Both are great cars. Just depends on your needs. The reviewer needs to get familiar with the car he’s reviewing before making a comment. The second row seats will move forward with 1 pull of the lever to get access to the third row. 15k is not worth the difference for me between these two cars. Lastly, i believe the tx fsport is 6 cylinders and not 4.
well @naveenthemachine aka the green machine will like to have a word with you in regards to how he doesn't like the majority of lexus and toyota products
Both are beautiful vehicles. Lexus tech definitely gives it the edge since they have the experience. Great attempt for Mazda entering a luxury segment, they’re making good changes.
What tech? 😂
@@dgdave2673 If you’re going to ask you either didn’t watch any of the video or are just plain ignorant.
Hi Sam. I agree with you about the back of the Mazda CX-90. It looks a bit awkward. Also, like what was mentioned in this video, not enough head room in the third row seating area and the side window in the back could've been a little bit larger. Just a little bit so that third-row seating passengers dont feel claustrophobic back there. It would be great to see these two vehicles the Lexus TX and Mazda CX-90 go head to head in a drag race as well as a roll race. Should be very interesting.
You can add the rear view video mirror that is an optional add
Sam - some basic reviewer tips for you. Have watched many reviews of yours and always thought you were not thorough and more like a seat of the pants, unstructured adhoc reviewer. Firstly when you are comparing the CX90, mention the fundamentals first. The Mazda is a RWD architecture with longitudinal inline 6, a major difference comparing with FWD based Toyota platform, what was Mazda’s thought process in launching this, their aspirations - a mainstream brand, a step up brand like Acura or Infinity or trying to punch with luxury brands ? Be clear so that rest of your review becomes enjoyable.
Nice highlander! Wich trim is it?
The trim that look better than what you're driving.
Greetings from oakville Ontario I'm enjoying my mitsubishi outlander phev it's so high tech still getting used to it just received it 2024 3 year lease from Erin mills mitsubishi Mississauga my model was $55000 and recommended by the ajac for 2023 thanks for the presentation
34:25 that is a nice classic passing by on your left
Lovely comparison. Both excellent cars; you really can’t go wrong with either. Sam, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SOUND 😭 This video was practically unwatchable without constant messing around with volume control. The music is WAY TOO LOUD. Please fix it in your future videos 😭
First comment I heard this complain
you can get the rear cam for the mirror as accesories
Sam, you like the grille of the Lexus but dislike the rear of the Mazda? It’s subjective, but surprised to hear that.
Yes! I needed this
-Dad
Mazda competes more w grand highlander hybrid max; which would you pick between the two?
Its clearly more luxurious and more powerful than the Lexus TX yet you somehow feel that its competing with the Grand Highlander
5:22 besides large wheel size, it looks like they actually used that extra area to shove in some bigger brakes, unlike acura did for the MDX.
The Mazda is nicer, and I was happy to see the I6 rear-wheel drive layout (proper layout) BUT got very disapointed when I learned their engine has the timing belt by the firewall, which is a disaster design. This alone ruins the Mazda's success. The TX on the other hand I just find it ugly.
that B roll footage is BEAUTIFUL! the TX looks so awkward with that front end design.... and the lame DRL and headlight design as well....
Love my LEXUS RX500h with triple beam but damn does the CX90 looks amazing in it's top tier form!
Honda want thier grill back.
Lexus is for me!
Lexus if buy and keep. Mazda if leasing. I don’t lease automobiles therefore, I’d rather buy Lexus or Toyota vehicles.
That Lexus is more toyota looking than toyota
I'd take the Lexus all the way. The Zoomy SUV is not something that really computes for me. Spaciousness, efficiency and a usable rear seat are what 3-rows should be about. Thanks for making the comparison video though. I'd buy the plug in 550h+ version.
I think you should be comparing the mazda and the toyota highlander. Lexus is a luxury
Even if they has the same price, i pick the Mazda hands down just for the look, the qualiter in and a out and the V6 inline
I am a big Lexus fan BUT Mazda hit it out of the park with their CX-90 design.
Mazda then dropped the ball by not putting in rear door unlock keyless entry for their flagship vehicle.
If they want to compete in the luxury segment that was one fail.
3rd row the one lever at the top when you hold it you can slide the seat
You can't go wrong with either option. Gota appreciate Mazda's offering for its quality and enjoyable driving experience at a reasonable price. On the other hand, Lexus provides luxury both inside and out, not to mention the overall quality and longevity associated with Toyota/Lexus is always a selling factor
Quality and reliability are a thing of he past with Toyota and Lexus
And Lexus doesn’t offer any sort of luxury in the tx
@@naveenthemachine😂😂😂. Lexus TX IS A EXTREMELY LUXURIOUS SUV And MORE. KEEP Your DUMB OPINIONS IN Your ASS And OUTSIDE THE INTERNET .😂😂😂
I dont think the TX is anywhere as luxurious as the CX90
I think the Lexus is not my style, I love how the Mazda looks but it just has too many compromises for me, it’s not as family friendly, not as efficient and while the interior looks great I think I would greatly appreciate the easier to use tech in the Lexus
Family friendly, this assumes you have 4 kids or more. Otherwise the space is negligible as the extra seat can be folded down
I don’t know why the highest trim of cx90 don’t have the camera rear view mirror. I have S premium and has it
Its an extra feature that can be purchased before you buy them in any trim.
How are the transmission shifts? Smooth and fast enough? I'm coming from a 2018 Mdx Hybrid
I have the cx90 turbo SPP and my car has it
Thats a dealer installed accessory, it can be installed from the lowest trim to the highest trim
Your dealer installed it beforehand and thats why you have it, I believe its $1,000 dollar option which is expensive but worth the cool factor
now what if the mazda adds 30 thousand more into this vehicle would you still pick the lexus?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣that's funny! I actually bought the cx90. Mhev! Totally love it..
The CX90 isnt really competing against the TX
I see more similarities with the Aviator and GV80 than I do with the TX
well the TX will be cross shopped with all kinds of 3 row suvs, mainstream ones like the palisade, upmarket ones like the CX90, midsize luxury crossover ones that are smaller like the MDX, full size crossover ones like the x7, and full size body on frame ones like the grand wagoneer (still find it funny that there's more total cargo space in the TX compared to the non L grand wagoneer)
@@huanronghu4432
People looking at an X7 arent going to be looking at a vehicle half the price
No. I would take the Mazda outright.
I am Mazda user since 2017.. they make safe, reliable, luxurious and fun to drive vehicles. I would definitely go for CX90 and have Million in bank then will buy TX too ❤
Thanks for sharing
9:14 be consistent with this thought throughout reviews. It is actually much easier to have manual fold than buttons and electric motor.
If I remember correctly , you have pointed out some don’t have the buttons and it’s a manual process. Just don’t forget to mention it’s a positive thing to not have to replace electric motors on 3rd row seating after you pay the car off, and it’s much easier to fold down seating and throw stuff back there.
Maybe I'm lucky, but with 25 yrs of car ownership, I've never had to replace an electric motor.... power seats, power locks, sliding doors, power windows, power tailgate, etc. Even had Mazda 626 with power seat belts
Exactly!
if talk about value for money,i think i prefer mazda cx90
That CX-90 is F. I.R.E.!
Look I am not a fan of Mazda but this new look SUV CX90 AWD I like but yes I will choose the Lexus because for the room in the cargo and in the rear seats, with the tech, comfort ride, and all the gadgets it comes with and I love my vehicles to have fog lights that’s a deal breaker for me is only a few vehicles I will buy w/o fog lights Mercedes, BMW, To name a few so for me I have a big family I am definitely going to check out this Lexus TX500H3 for sure and it’s AWD as well am impressed I will test drive that in e near future when am ready to trade in my crossover SUV which is only 2 rows for this 3 row for sure. Nice design too I will get it in all black with black interior or all white with black trims all around I think that looks dope but I do love that red metallic on this Mazda too it’s not a bad vehicle I just wouldn’t mind paying a little bit more for that Lexus that’s just me.
Sam! No drag race??
That Lexus would look great in a Toyota showroom floor. Lexus, you should be ashamed of yourselves for such a lackluster effort.
Mazda ❤
I have a Mazda CX90 T PP and it does have a digital home link interior rear view mirror. It is an upgrade, not all of them come with this.
Mazda been having a full size suv😂
Those two place second rows are a deal breaker when you have three kids and sometimes need to haul max cargo or additional friends around. Really compromises their practicality.
2:06 holy orange peel Batman
Two Different Segments Lexus being luxury. A better comparison with the Mazda would be with the Grand Highlander or the Honda Pilot.
This guy is a Lexus/Toyota SHILL ! These two are NOT comparable for 3 really big reasons.
1. You can buy/order a Mazda CX 90, and actually recieve it in a reasonable time for oem MSRP. Lexus has premiums slapped on it from A. Their main distributor, then add insult to injury the dealer.
2. The Lexus is NOT a true AWD. The rear axle is an electric motor only. Offroad performance sucks.
3. Price, the Lexus is waaaaaay too expensive.
******Really, just on superficial observations, the interior of the Lexus is well,...CHEAP-LOOKING.
Mazda is really raising the bar,.....for not alot of money, and you can get one.
The Mazda's LCD with a dial but no touch capability is deal breaker... Lexus all the way!!!
Only Mazda
Mazda giving me bmw x7 vibes
I’ll take Mazda I need 30k this days
Absolutely Lexus!!
Mazda all the way. Lexus looks cheap as hell all over
That Mazda look way better than that minivan
Compare the Mazda to the Toyota Grand Highlander
👍👍👍
Any one whos saying they pick the mazda prob didnt even buy it. Sales of the cx 90 are so abysmal they already slashed the price by 4000. So if you are a clueless fan boy and cant afford anything in this level i would suggest shutting your mouth.
Yeah the Mazdacx90 looks like a luxury car but doesn't drive like one. The Lexus looks and drives like one.
I would rather buy a BMW than buying Lexus at this price, or take the Mazda if I have low budget. In either case the Lexus is not the ideal choice
Mazda is the obvious choice if you are in Canada, because I don’t think Lexus would last long on your driveway. It is like a hot cake for car thieves
Naveenthemachine, you in here buddy?
This is NOT the first time Mazda is offering a three row SUV. The CX 9 was three rows!
Mazda looks way better, IMO.
If you need or want more room inside and a Luxury Badge on it ? The Lexus is the way to go. Thanks Sam.
I would prefer if the door opened up by itself by several inches without touching the door especially if you have a disability or other issues thanks hello from oakville
Lol 😂that Lexus front looks unfinished and they let go the effin engineer / designer before he could copy paste the 2015 Highlander grill properly !
Did you compare the stereo ? The TX has s terrible stereo for this pricey vehicle. No bass or flat bass , Lexus need to update stereo firmware to boost the bass.
21 speakers? Really?
Lexus looks like a better sienna........Mazda looks better except the back
I’ll be honest, I already bought the TX500h and I really love it , But for the price of the Lexus I could have bought a BMW and definitely go up to a better level of technology and quality, My wife and I have talked about it and the Lexus is very overrated, it should be a $60k car and no more than that. I love the Lexus, but I regret not having bought a BMW X7, Unfortunately I can’t return the Lexus, the dealers don’t accept that.
Interesting
Lexus is better but is not worth 30 grand extra. Mazda's achilles heel is is restricted 3rd row visibility.
Let's Raúl
Lexus all the way baby, the Mazda doesn't look like a finished product.
in terms of value mazda but longevity lexus pick your poison
It can be seen from afar that you are a Lexus Fan, I do not consider an objective analysis. I think they are completely different vehicles. Now everyone is a car expert to determine what is better than another.
I have seen Lexus and Toyota vehicles in emergency maneuvers on several occasions and they are quite unstable and unresponsive.
The power of advertising has made Lexus and Toyota the vehicles they are not. And to clarify, I do not own a Mazda, I like European vehicles.
Lexus third row seats are a lot shorter that the Mazda. Cx90 seat bottom nearly covered you entire leg where as the lexus only cover barely a 1/3 od the leg area. That is something you have to say but never do. The seats on the lexus are much more narrow that the Cx90. Seats in the lexus just screams cheap
Yea i noticed that too lol 😂 the third row bottom cushions are practically pointless in the Lexus
