2024 Mazda CX-90 Review | A Fairytale in the Making

You cannot rush perfection, but a high price demands perfection at times. The big question is, did Mazda hit the nail on the head or is it come back and try again? The 2024 Mazda CX-90 looks stunning, drives great, and has a price tag that's extremely reasonable considering the quality and the tech inside the car. However, is there a catch? Caco digs deep to find anything lacking from what many would consider to be one of the best cars in its category. Is this car going to be your fairytale ending? Let Caco tell you himself on this episode of Behind the Wheel.

[@megsman4749]

I saw one in Baguio last weekend sa The Manor banda. Ganda.

[@RobertDoromal]

Owning one, I agree with Caco’s review 100%. I react and feel the same way when driving the car at low speeds and city traffic. He described it accurately.

[@GeoMarfil]

@8:45 cool "secret" settings to always enable the touch screen when your phone is connected Sir Caco.. 1st: Go to "Settings", then go down to "Connectivity Settings", Choose "Bluetooth/Phone Connectivity Settings", then choose your device iPhone/Android, then go all the way down the options and choose "Touchscreen in Motion for All Devices".. Youre Welcome.. =)

[@ambagel]

Pinoy mindset sa pag-bili sasakyan. 1: Sisiraan kasi di nila gusto ang brand hehehe 2: Maaksaya sa gasoline/dieasel - di bumili ka ng hydrogen car or EV car or de-kwerdaz lol, kabayo. 3: Mababa ang after sale value - kung habol mo ay resale value 'wagmo bilhin ang sasakyan doon ka sa mataas ang resale value wag ng siraan. 4: Mahal masyado - kasi di kaya presyo daming Chinese brand na mura at meron din naman Japanese na mura ah 5: Paki-alamero/alamera sa binili ng iba di naman nila pera ang pinabili lol. 6: Madami pa eh diko na maa-lala hehehe dag-dagan niyoo nalang bwahehehe! 👽

That is what you call Copium. Since they cannot afford it or want to defend their purchase of vehicle, they go sourgraping and nitpicking. It's common in anything not just cars.

It’s this kind of comment that makes automakers think they’re immune to criticism. Which is kinda sad - healthy criticism helps them make better cars (and make more profit).

[@JustinB-g8k]

Would be curious on your thoughts on the 2025 for this. Because (I think) the transmission identity thing you were talking about has been resolved.

[@ginom.7062]

I love the interior. Very premium!

[@megsman4749]

Sa X5 siya compared. Pero para sa akin pwede rin compare sa Cayenne.

[@claxcz]

correct, this is gle or x5 experience for the right price, ofc bmw is bmw and mercedes is mercedes you can't really argue with that

[@Kierokieropee]

It's going against the x7. The cx70 is the one competing against the X5

[@chibiace02]

We had the same reaction "Deym!" 😍😍😍

[@talpolano4549]

Then how much is the PHEV version??

[@francisgallozzi2595]

In North America, we also have 340 hp version of inline-6 MHEV CX-90.

[@Kierokieropee]

I was wondering why the Exclusive which Resembles the Turbo S PP has only 280HP and when I did a bit of searching it's coz of the fuel quality and emissions regulations in the Philippines that they had to tune it down from 340 to 280.

[@jessiedelantar4710]

I love mazda design.. Bt50 next pls

[@Scorillozz]

This car you dont buy it to resale it. You ll love it❤❤❤❤

[@jong2987]

had one as a daily drive and a substitute for my Next Gen Everest, pero I had to replace it with an LC300 because the ride is just too stiff for my liking and my family's too.

[@joelpabalinas7457]

So a 6 seater is expensive than a 7 seater?

[@Dongzzzzzz]

Yeah the seats of the 6 seater is more premium

[@germanfisch]

yeah less seats are generally more premium. You wouldn't call a commuter van more premium than a luxury van

[@rixtervidz]

Do you think that extra seat causes the price to increase?

[@megsman4749]

Mas komportable ang six.

[@HeyMr.J]

Dealbreaker lang talaga palagi sa mga model ng Mazda ay yung maliit na interior space compared sa mga competitors nila.

[@Kierokieropee]

I've driven the 2024 Honda Pilot Elite. That Suv has seriously boring interior. As well as The Subaru Ascent. Only the Grand Highlander is up to par with this one.

[@TheMrJourneyer]

@@KierokieropeeThe issue isn’t so much the design - it’s the space and legroom. Yun talaga downfall ng Mazda. My rule of thumb is: can a rear-facing car seat comfortably fit in the 2nd row?

[@Kierokieropee]

@ the Mazda CX90 is sold in Northern America. 360 degree car seats fit inside the 2nd Row. The doors open approximately 90 degrees. Tho my complaint is the legroom for the 3rd row but I wouldn't be sitting there in the first place.

[@70softrocker]

Mazda should sell more than it actually sells here. Their vehicles are way above the rest: Mazda 3, 6, CX5, CX90 Beautiful exteriors And interiors. Punchy engines. Reliable. Why oh why don't Filipinos buy more Mazdas? 😪 Now that they are positioning themselves as a premium brand, more people will be alienated by the prices. BTW , I have a cassette tape of Lisa Stansfield, the British R&B soul singer. So there, i divulged my age. Mid 60s. And grateful to have lasted this long. But still dreaming of having a Mazda 3. Even 2nd hand will do. The lofty prices of cars made me prioritize saving for retirement instead.

[@alvinolmedo6376]

I wonder how buyers of Mazda’s SUVs and crossovers get excited over the brand when the basic look (especially the front fascia) has not really changed for the last twelve years or so. To each his own, sure, but I just don’t get the enthusiasm for it.

[@jvenmakilan5187]

As a Harley guy, at least it maintains that brand identity. Similar to BMWs and their double eye headlights, Audi's unique take on DRLs, etc. Some models nowadays you can remove the maker's badge and slap someone else's and it wouldn't be out of place in that other maker's lineup. If that trend continues, those cars will be "just like any other car, only slightly different", but there will be comfort in knowing that "they belong"

[@alvinolmedo6376]

I get what you’re saying and you have a point. But for premium brands that you mentioned, I guess it’s kind of different because the thrill for those is the luxury connotation. That you are basically above the dime-a-dozen variety of vehicles. But for the majority of car owners like me , buying a brand new vehicle that looks kind of ten years old because of the design, It just deducts from the excitement level in buying.

[@Unknownst658]

That's Mazda's Kodo Design which is more of a basic design that makes it sleek and modern without taking away the "Mazda-ness" of it.

[@alwayssomewhere74]

Name one car brand in the same price bracket as mazda that has a more exciting design language than mazda. I'm just curious.

[@alvinolmedo6376]

@@alwayssomewhere74the Italian designers of Kia and Hyundai have been churning out great designs the past many years, haven’t you noticed? Granted they’re not all hits (I dislike the current Staria which is too “space age” which I think will not age well) but many of them are. The Kia Telluride as far as I know is a hit in North America. And how about the latest Hyundai Santa Fe? Heck even the crappy Chinese cars (ok suspect quality at best) look good like those of BYD, GEELY and GAC (but I’ll never be caught buying them with my hard earned money. We are just talking design here.) I understand the philosophy of Mazda’s design and all that . I’m just saying they look tired and unexciting especially having seen their basic front appearance for many many years.

[@girmt]

Its not touchscreen? I thought it still is? I thought its still like my 2018 mazda,for safety purposes it only allows u to use the control knob to navigate the infotainment system while the vehicle is moving but on complete stop touchscreen is functional..well, at least thats what i thought, dont know with the new mazda cx90 coz i surely cant afford it!😂😂😂

[@TheMrJourneyer]

From what I know, touchscreen is enabled but only in CarPlay or Android Auto mode for US vehicles. Not sure if it’s totally disabled for vehicles manufactured in Asia.

[@ApexPredatorWithSungGlasses]

Mazdas look too gaudy. It's like screaming "LOOK I AM RICH!", to the point of being tasteless. Pretty sure people who can afford a CX-90 can just as easily afford an Alphard or Land Cruiser, both car having simple design: less is more. No wonder there are more Alphards and Land Cruisers on BGC than Mazdas :P

[@TheMrJourneyer]

@@ApexPredatorWithSungGlasses I both agree and disagree if that makes sense, haha. The interior is gaudy, but the exterior is actually boring na for me. Mazda hasn’t really changed their design language in a while. But definitely agree that folks who can afford CX-90 will probably go LC or Alphard anyway. Maybe even Lexus.

[@JDRNFL]

it's the driveability, best in class for driving experience, at least here in the US.

[@megsman4749]

The LC and Alphard are vehicles that drivers drive. The CX-90 is driven by the owner. Personally I think that is the difference. The LC and Alph are for luxurious comfort. The CX-90 is for spirited luxurious driving. I mean I would.

[@TheMrJourneyer]

@ Agree with the Alphard, but not the LC. That’s a premium off-road vehicle IMO.
