Best 3-Row SUV: New Mazda CX-90 vs 7 Rivals

[@rogerp4612]

These full-segment reviews are SO valuable to the consumer - well done all, and congrats to the winner!

[@JonasBuack]

Interesting that the Mazda got second despite being the newcomer. If the price is the only sore point compared to the 1st-place Hyundai, I'm willing to pay the price if I'm getting a better car. You can't ignore that inline 6 and rear-drive-based AWD architecture.

[@AdrianC12345]

The 100 more lb-ft that the Mazda has over the Hyundai/Kia V6 is no-brainer especially in a people hauler.

[@JoseCastillo-hl3vl]

what I don't understand is why talk about price, the cx90 turbo S has the same price as the honda elite and the hyundai, they cost the same here in the United States, 53 thousand dollars and with all its equipment, for me the turbo S is perfect since with the other two models that follow the turbo S we lose a passenger and the difference is minimal, so if within the 3 they have the same price I go with the cx-90 that has more power and is more elegant at the level of German vehicles

[@ChrisParayno]

A Kia Sorento hybrid gets better gas mileage. Yes you get more power but I rather get 35mpg and still be relatively quick then sub 30s.

[@JoseCastillo-hl3vl]

I don't know what they mean by the price here in the United States, more directly in New York, the CX-90 TURBO S costs the same as the hyundai and the pilot in their highest versions, so if all 3 are at the same price, I'll go 100% with the new cx-90 since I get 340 horsepower and an interior that competes with German SUVs, I have a 2021 pilot and I was thinking of making a change to the 2023 but now I'm buying the cx 90 turbo s

[@JackSmith-qi7dr]

Convenient to omit that the CX90s can run on regular fuel but with a subsequent decrease in HP but still beats the competition.

[@OtisSpringerpilot]

Absolutely correct! And not only CAN the Mazda inline6 turbo S run on premium OR regular, IF you choose regular, there is NO decrease in torque (369 lb-ft on either fuel!) ..there is a a 21hp decrease with regular fuel....which puts it at 319hp, still above every other SUV in this comparison. Still, it was the CX-90 overall price that knocked it to 2nd place, and I agree that the cost of the Mazda will adversely affect its "overall value".

[@ericb.4358]

As an owner of a 2019 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring RESERVE (2.5 T, AWD) and all its upscale features I would pay the extra $$ for the CX-90 mild hybrid with premium features. That is because it is really competing with Audi, Mercedes, Acura and Lexus. In fact I feel it would come very close to Lexus reliability due to its excellent build quality.

[@adriannalundasan7570]

Judging by the way Mazda is pricing the CX90, the base models competes with the mainstream segment while the top one can go head to head with the more premium brands and in my opinion and experience, the CX90 can easily topple the MDX, thanks to Acura for refusing to build a RWD platform and with that 10s ZF is completely a joke. Test drove a bunch of MDX in 2019 from 6 dealership in GTA area both have the same flaw in the tranny.

[@robarmour4062]

Think very carefully before test driving the CX90 Signature. Once you take it through a couple of corners, it can become addictive. I was planning on a Pilot or a Telluride, depending on delivery, but one drive convinced me to go with the CX90. There’s a 3 to 4 month wait for the Mazda, but the dealer pulled a rabbit out of their 27:45 hat and I will have my 27:45 Signature “Blackout Edition” in 3 weeks.

Just now saw this... I've had two Mazdas (626s) in my long car career. Each went over 250,000 miles. I like Mazdas... BUT, I keep my cars a looong time...7-8 years +... The CX-90 might work if you only plan to keep it 50K miles or so...but when the timing chain needs to be replaced at 100K miles, bring the bank. Why? Because the genius Mazda engineers put the timing belt at the REAR of that in-line 6. You will have to REMOVE the whole damn engine to get at it... and what will THAT cost in man hours? See the review by the "Car Care Nut". Naw... for me, it's the Honda Pilot hands down. I can live with a little less fuel mileage for the reliability and longevity of that V6 and 10 sp transmission. Now... if Honda could just upgrade the Infotainment display for 2025... I'll break out my checkbook. (See Honda Pilot Review by "Savage Geese", "Car Care Nut" or "Alex on Autos")

This is not the goal of the Mazda CX90. They made that car to compete with Acura and Lexus among others. Ofcourse the Mazda will be more the the Hyundai, but when you compare The CX90 to an Acura, you are getting more bang for your buck with mazda. It’s cheaper and offers near the same. Unfair to put the mazda below because of price.

[@mohamedomar2367]

[@DevRel1]

Not necessarily, we are talking about the best third row for value. I researched and looked at Mazda, Honda and palisade. Bought the palisade. I know why the Mazda is BETTER, i know why the Pilot is better engineering overall. But i can’t beat what the palisade gives me for the price considering comfortability, room and looks. But these are subjective add the pretty much said Mazda was the winner with Hyundai winning on a technicality, at least that’ how i took it. They are ask three winners imho

[@thisweekmetaverse]

Thanks for the review. Im struggling to choose between the CX90, The Palisade and The Highlander just now. The Highlander has an 8 month - 1 year wait (Im in Mexico) Mazda are quoting 4-7 Months for a CX90 and Hyundai only have one waiting on the palisade and so available 2-3 months locally. This review has helped me round it down to the Palisade and CX 90. If a garage in Mexico City can get me the CX 90 in 2-3 months Im likely to go with that. If not, the Palisade. Ive tested both and they are for me a mm apart as the tech is better in the palisade but the interior is nicer and the drive nicer on the CX 90

Why use the price of the optional engine when the base engine of the Mazda already is much more powerful than competitors? Take a look at torque numbers. It's basically the same engine, just with a de-tuned top of the rev range. You should have rated it based on the price of the base engine.

What’s with the stupid 3 row seat obsession. There are 3.13 people in the average family in the USA. The average family size has declined from 3.8 in 1940 to 3.1 by 2021. Yet car reviewers/manufacturers insist on having a 3rd row in crossover; and calling it a “family holler" (BTW - the real meaning of crossover is - glorified minivan). How many families actually have 7-8 people in them? Whose family are they driving around? Not to mention that most of the 3rd row seats are completely uncomfortable, difficult to get to and kill your cargo capacity. Plus they add weight to the vehicle. I’ve seen reviews of vehicles like the Honda Passport, where reviewers are complaining about not having a 3rd row seat. I see that as a benefit!!!

Yes, we invited the American entires, but none were able to provide us with a vehicle during testing. We would have loved to have the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Ford Explorer in this comparison.

[@duvilopez7992]

Yes the winner is Hyundai Palisade! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jsfbay1]

Some journalists are commenting on how firm the seats are (at least in the 1st row, not sure about the others.) Did you have an observation on this?

[@AutoGuide]

Which vehicle are you asking about? The Mazda CX-90?

[@jsfbay1]

@@AutoGuide Sorry, yes, the Mazda CX-90.

[@alexkluh1407]

Nice review. For me it would be the Pilot or the Telluride

[@rafalpgresiak629]

Love Mazda

[@heavilymeditated2263]

BTW Engineers love the CX90, mechanics hate the CX90. The belts on the CX90 are placed on behind the engine (worst place) mechanics need to either drop the engine or pull it out to get to it. Yall can imagine the labor when the time comes for anything mechanical. Other than expensive maintenance, it's a good car.

[@счастье33]

yes, mazda cx-90 also has DCT transmission, not classical AT! This guys nothing understand in car. Ignore such important things so stupid

[@mr.c.3760]

It's a chain. It'll likely last the life of the car. It wasn't meant to be taken out. Chains last much longer than belts

[@rpiian]

After this vid [kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqPEnWxpnNKJoa8]I’m pretty happy we put money down on a ‘23 Pilot. We drove em all, and the Mazda is fun to drive, but the complexity of the I6 drivetrain is mind boggling. Engine out service for just about anything you change on that motor. Yea, the Pilots V6 is new, but it’s still just that, a V6.

[@abhi4ify]

front end of palisade is something i can't live with on daily basis

[@fakedazzleful]

Where's Ford explorer, Gmc Acadia, Chevrolet Traverse, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Volkswagen Atlas, Mitsubishi Outlander?

[@pugnacious6290]

As a Ford Exploder owner, probably either at the mechanic’s or in the junk yard.

[@leec136]

I loved the video but how do u guys leave off all American suvs? The explorer is one of the best selling??? Chevy traverse?

[@windigrin9649]

I fully agree with you guys after carefully examining and checking. Great job!

[@jagplaha9959]

Had no doubt in my mind it was gonna be the Palisade. Same response and results as almost every other comparison video on KZbin

[@Carfan678]

Unpopular opinion but I never liked the way the Telluride looks I actually prefer the Palisade

[@top10cars2]

Same here

[@Josh-179]

The Palisade was ugly pre-facelift with that horrendous grill. Now looks very nice with the new one.

Let’s go Mazda!

Thanks so much.

[@watuwantt]

No touch with rotary knobs is not a con. It’s a major advantage that makes mazda stand out. It’s the only manufacturer that has this in the non-luxury space.

2003 Subaru Ascent? 17:28

[@MrPsalms207]

The Palisade and Telluride are so similar, I don't see how one could get first place and the other doesn't even make top 3... 🤔

[@top10cars2]

They said that the Telluride was less comfortable

[@tychehgaming]

They did say that all the vehicles were within 10% of each other and the difference between the top 2 was 0.5%. It's likely that the very uncomfortable second row was what did the Telluride in.

[@_M....]

the Palisade looks better and the seats are WAY more comfortable.

[@chevyfan8428]

We’re is the Acaida, Traverse and Enclave ?

[@AutoGuide]

GM was unable to provide us with a test vehicle during our comparison. We have the Acadia coming up in another head to head comparison.

[@Hogwarts-Dropout]

A generic front wheel drive Hyundai is rated 1st, instead of the brand new rwd-based 340hp inline 6 Mazda CX-90? Haha, okay.

[@_M....]

the Hyundai is a better choice for the segment. the Mazda is a wanna be BMW sports SUV with subpar interior space and so-so tech (lane assist and infotainment don't function as well as the Palisade's). the seats and ride are more comfortable in the Palisade too.

[@paulpellico3797]

where is the explorer?????? i mean, isn't it the 2nd highest selling car in this class?????

[@AutoGuide]

We wanted it to attend, but unfortunately no vehicle was available at the time of testing.

[@gransport4246]

It could be the 2nd best selling but number 1 as the least reliable, least interesting, and total garbage.

[@paulpellico3797]

@@gransport4246 you may be correct, and i admitted i am no ford guy. BUT since you brought it up...what are the recall facts of the kia and huyndai vs ford explorer??????

[@gransport4246]

@@paulpellico3797 Hyundai/Kia have a ton of issues as a whole. I’m trying to remember. Aren’t they 3rd in recalls over the last couple of years? They have a lawsuit against too for excessive oil consumption.

great video!

[@ThingsbySalah]

I wouldn't spend so much on a Hyundai. Honestly I feel the Honda Pilot should have won the number 1 position. Period.

[@Sonic13751375]

where was the WV Atlas?

[@AutoGuide]

The new model won't be out until the summer and it isn't fair to use a vehicle that's already being replaced.

[@Lilspenny]

The Mazda has a tiny console, and cup holders are very small along with being in a compromised location. It's a vehicle for sporty adults who occasionally carry small kids. The Hyundai and Kia have a very nice interior but the mechanicals such as engine design easily make this vehicle a no go. Look it up, it's a show stopper for the well-informed. For me, the Honda is the best. But.... since I don't need the space I like the loaded RDX. It's amazing.

[@jonmh9668]

Where would something like a sorento fit in here?

[@AutoGuide]

It's a bit smaller than these, but more affordable and has the hybrid option. We thought about including it but have a comparison coming up with it and the Acadia.
