good review ,but didnt include fuel consuption for the petrol,,,,,,but ,5.5 lt per 100k for the diesel is excellent, that is less than the cx5 diesel 2.2 lt 4cycl WOW especially with all that lovely torque
Was thinking exactly the same. I bought a 2023 Hyundai Palisade Highlander diesal. Had it for about 4 months and did a Melbourne to Sydney road trip return. To date, the car is showing I'm averaging 11.8 litres per 100km
Yes but I was expecting an actual comparison to the XC90 in the conclusion or verdict, where was it? Apart from that, I thought it was a decent review.
And at least the Mazda offers a diesel. Volvo still do in Europe & several other markets , but the last XC60/90 diesel variants arrived here in late 2021 . A shame that Volvo locally deleted them , as they were still relatively popular here. But it could be still possible to pop into your local Volvo dealer & order it as a special import. In saying that the CX 90 oiler will probably only account for between 5-10% of total CX 90 sales
@@glennO-e9r people are still buying them . Our petrol is far dirtier than diesel. ULP 91 at 150 ppm sulfur, 95/98 is 50 ppm sulfur & diesel is 10 ppm . 91 will kill any PPF fitted vehicles & even a vehicle using 50ppm 95/98 will likely require a PPF replacement within the first few yrs of ownership. We have several diesels that are all DPF fitted & haven't had a single issue. One of our vehicles has done 720,000 km & it doesn't need its DPF replaced
@@Coastmac2001 I work in the automotive industry and diesels are rubbish.

Mazda have never been a luxury brand, and as such $120,000+ Onroads is way too expensive. I expect the depreciation on this car to be massive.
