I am currently in market for 3 row SUV. 2 things made me cross off Mazda from the list: 1. automatic engine stop/start on red light. 2. capless gas tank.
You're out of luck. All modern SUVs(other than some base models ans us market) have auto start stop. YOU CAN TURN IT OFF. Capless tanks are getting more common. You just pushed out FORDs entire lineup of capless SUVs. Edit: Didn't know Honda pilots is also capless.
Hi David, I am excited for Mazda, I truly love that Mazda coupe that was at the auto show in Japan. That is my favorite Mazda. By far I truly am looking forward for that vehicle to come out to production someday the CX 90 in this video looks like a very , nice SUV….🇯🇵❤️🤍
Probably enough of a market for all types of niche variations. Most of the time people drive solo or with only one or two passengers, so this can be a decent offering for those who don’t always drive with a packed vehicle.
The Lexus gx460 is more fun to drive in my opinion and overall much better vehicle for a 3 row seater . It’s not even close , and the Lexus gx is not much more expensive
It's on an old and basic n280 Ladder frame chassis. I think the same chassis as a 4runner? You're lying when you say it drives better than a solid un. It still drives like a boat. It flexes more than it should and the suspension is way too soft to offset the chassis and harshness of a ladder frame chassis. Still I own a 2020 gx460. YOU CANT BEAT OLD AND BASIC.
Good info David. The Bridgestone tires on our '23 mdx a-spec really holds it back. Can't wait to change them out.

And David, you have it favorite color! I want one ❤
David, On the potholed streets back East, I consider a "soft and smooth" ride to be FUN. ;-)

How’s the handling compared to MDX Type S?
David, how does this drive compared to the Outlander PHEV?
I paid over CAD70,000 for this PHEV and it is barely charging up to 28 KM (17 miles) after 3 months. The biggest mistake I made in my life.
You should take it back to the dealer and have it checked. It could be the setting or calibration.
Mazda is the most European driving feel Japanese car 🚗. 😊
Simply said 👍🚗
👍 Agree
There is a 3-row cayenne??
No not right now
I have both, no it's not, but Cayenne is $50K more than this one but not $50K more fun.
Not looking for fun to drive when hauling 5-7 passengers. When you buy SUV this size you choose to drive a boat. So mazda has lost the plot on this.

@@ALMX5DPWhy would someone consider a 7-seater to drive solo?
@@udayhomeful People with large families, but who typically drive to work alone every day.
You don't speak for everyone. Fun to drive doesn't mean drive like crazy.

You’ve driven both? And they’re quite different vehicles dynamically, not to mention the 460 being discontinued.
@@ALMX5DP well yeah the 460 is going away, but the new model is almost here

@@mouaxiong8618 55 thousand for a Mazda 😂, I’m not impressed at all not from the design stand point or the drive etc .
@@Shabnation 55k for a 3 row suv is reasonable. and it's design is completely compatible to compete with the 3 row suv category.
