6:47 if I'm not mistaken, Mazda was the first car maker to do pulsating LED indicators back when they launched the CX30, when everyone else was copying Audi's cascading indicators. Mazda said they made their led indicators look like old school filament bulb indicators, hence the pulse. Now it seems BMW is copying Mazda! That's an indication (pun intended) that Mazda is doing things well in their attempt to enter the luxury car market.

[@tier1detailing]

Another page that BMW could take out of Mazda's book....NO GLOSS BLACK! It's a miracle! A car at half the cost, with no cheap, glossy plastic...what a time to be alive

Since cx-9, personally, Mazda has produced very good car. In my opinion, mazda has perfected how a luxury suv vehicle should look like. The shape is symmetrical or proportional and it has great road presence.

[@LarryNgetich]

The proportions look way better than the CX-60. Even if I was in the market for a 5 seater I'd go for this.

How would they make an Estate of an SUV?

@@LafemmebearMusic By taking the overall design language and lowering it down in height to a normal car size. The current Mazda 6 is missing the sleek lines that these CX SUVs have. The current Mazda 6 front wheel arch curve on the side panel makes it look like the whole body is bent from the A-pillar.

great overview Thomas, love the Mazda interiors, had Stone leather in my 2018 CX-5 and deliberate non-touchscreen infotainment. Key fobs are now available in vehicle colour too. Indicators should be on the outer edge of the light clusters, had to see some of these small ones at night with bright LEDs. Not as bad as KIA Sportage, whose indicators are under boot line bumper, where you cant see them in traffic.

Great looker and seems very good value for money, also really appreciate the luggage in the back for reference!

[@Chiroman527]

This is good synopsis / comparison of Mazda's line (which is very confusing to me ). If this CX-80 Exactly as shown (being a little smaller than the USA CX-90/70) with the USA's Straight 6 Turbo S , I'd order it Tomorrow. For comparison - aside from solely against the X5 - Acura's MDX Advance is a definite competitor. Without producing a complete Matrix of the features of each, suffice it to say, The 2024 MDX Advance (non Type S) is about $10K MORE than a CX -90 with the Turbo 6 (not the Turbo S ). The 2024 Type S MDX is $13K MORE than the CX-90 or CX-70 (whih is puzzling on Mazda's part) Premium Plus Turbo S model! The two SUV are comparable in size, HP/Torque, interior room, and other features. The MDX adds Massaging seats, Air suspension, auto dampening suspension, interior Light Show, a spectacular ELS Sound system vs the Mazda CX-90 Premium Plus Turbo S. Acura just announced their 2025 MDX Type S with some refreshing enhancements - most notable - was the elimination opf the Touch Pad and going with a Touch Screen InfoT. system screen. But the price is now circa $78K vs $62 K for the TOL CX-90 /70 Premium Plus Turbo S. BTAIM, I would NOT opt for a PHEV. But I would opt for a Gas/Electric Hybrid like the newer CRVs.

[@ilcomendante]

That interior is close to perfection! Light and airy. Real buttons. Perfectly sized display. I hope the “premium” brands are watching !

[@Td-wv7jj]

The seats in the front are atrociously bad! Same as in the CX5 and CX60.

[@ClaudioAguileraMunoz]

The king of Mewing is back. Great review!

[@Timjfw1]

That's one beautiful car. Great review!

[@scooter5940]

I love Mazda and we own a CX-9. But I never considered a CX-70 or 90 here in the States before buying my 2024 X5. It’s a nice car, but it ain’t no X5 (nor is it half the CX-5’s price when equipped with the higher output engine).

[@sternskov2629]

The X5 can’t match the Mazda CX 60, 70, 80 or 90 in design and in quality. And just one detail, it is not the price that determines whether a car is premium. But the quality and the materials. The fact that people are stupid enough to overcharge a German car is people's own problem.

[@jdmguy44]

@@sternskov2629 People are blindsided by badge image unfortunately. They don't see the bigger picture.

[@scooter5940]

⁠@@sternskov2629 yeah, that’s just arbitrary, vague nonsense. The notion that “premium”, however you define such vague term,is not correlated with cost and price is just silly. Side note. I didn’t equate price with “premium”. I simply pointed out that suggesting this Mazda is half the price of the X5 is not accurate.

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

Thanks for this preview which I looked at with great interest having bought a CX60 PHEV last year. This car is simply too big for what I want and I already find the CX60 much heavier than I am used to. The UI/UX and buttons are completely familiar and it is a real plus for Mazda that you can now get into all their EV or PHEV ranges and know immediately how they work without retraining. I find the build and features which come as standard rather than extensive expensive options more than premium enough. So for German and other premium brands you have to decide whether the more elaborate suspension and maybe all wheel steering plus the badge are really worth double the price. From the figures mentioned the PHEV setup in this larger CX80 may be a bit under powered compared with the CX60.

[@nhlanhlaradebe8]

Notification gang all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@choock5327]

I share the same view with Thomas that the clean rear bumper looks so much better. Has more elegance than those cut with exhaust holes and especially with monstrous ones!

[@shroomyesc]

CX-60/80 difference definitely makes more sense than the North American 70/90 duo, however I'm disappointed to see the same bulb-like rear styling from the NA duo has been brought over for this CX-80. I was fearing that, since it needed to be lengthened for the third seating row but especially from diagonal angles the rear end looks really bloated compared to the CX-60.

[@thescavwithnothingtolose1224]

I love Mazda's newest design language and interiors. If they reintroduced the Mazda6 as a premium (below Luxury) estate/wagon, I'd scoop it up in a heartbeat

[@saudmd5638]

Mazda has suspension and transmission issues for all of cx-90 and cx-60. Unfortunately there are both not comfortable nor smooth. I’m assuming the same for this model most likely. Mazda used to make a nice car but they failed this time while rushing into production of unfinished product. An owner here speaking and waiting for fix

[@autogefuehl]

Keep us updated!

[@mymusic5772]

Cheers,a great review of a nice looking car

[@laistrygonianrdc5537]

I think this model should be called cx70, and mazda should sell cx90 for non-American market because the rear seat of cx70 is too small. If they want to round up the line up then the cx80 should be the 5 seater version of the cx90, the current naming is too confusing for ordinary people.

[@vadym8713]

that's will make more sense BUT only if you aware of both markets ) if you are in Europe you have a choice between CX60 and CX80 and that's it. And in States it's only 90 and 70

In Australia we get the CX 60 and the larger longer wider CX 90 which makes sense. The suspension and transmission were poor in early models being new in house designs. Fixes are on the way. Deep crystal blue metallic is beautiful in the Azami SP spec with light or tan interior.

[@ZacharyT94]

We’re also getting the CX-70 and CX-80 in Aus as well, bit of a gamble for Mazda to offer all 4 large platform models but they might be using us as a test market as they know Mazda is hugely popular here.

[@x3merx3mer]

Hear me out - its expensive. As a current Mazda owner I HATE that they are focusing on "premium" series (cx50,60,80) and distancing from cars like CX5, which is such an awesome car, loved by everyone and I would've much more prefer that same quality level 7 seater (CX8) and have 10-15k lower price than this. People are not choosing between this and X5 anyway, but between Kodiaq, 5008 etc.. and this is now significantly more expensive.

[@jdmguy44]

I believe a new CX5 is in the pipeline.

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

stop talking trash, CX-5 still exists and will get a new gen, additioally there is the CX-50, just as affordable, them offering additional models doesn't make their other models more expensive, you made that up, you make absolutely no sense edit: also anyone can go to the websites of Skoda, Peugeot, etc. and build one with a COMPARABLE engine and equipment, you are clueless about their prices, they are very expensive too

[@x3merx3mer]

@@Mgoblagulkablong you need to perfect your reading skill, its a very important one. DId i say cx5 doesn't exist anymore or that they are "distancing" from it by building more premium ones. Did I say those expensive Mazdas are not better? The point is that those are improvements rarely anyone asked for. Is 320bhp instead of 200bhp a deal braker for 7seater buyer in that class? Did anyone ever complained about CX5 material quality? Or anything? No.. but they need to add SOMETHING to jack the price and that is not the way I expected Mazda to go.

This is confusing from Mazda. In Australia we have the CX3, CX5. CX60, CX90 which can exceed $100,000 and now the CX80. Too many models with small differences in size and all looking the same. The current CX60 and CX90 have some basic problems with hard suspension and a rough auto transmission operation which haven't really been addressed . No really comparable with BMW.

[@marioboss79]

Great review as usual. It's always great to watch your reviews and get your perspective from Germany, here in the USA. Overall, I find the design of the CX-70/90 and CX-60/80 sides a little flat and bland. I'd rather see some character, sculpturing or sweep to them, like the CX-5. Also I'd like less roundness to the rear roof line and have it a little more vertical. Thanks again for the reviews.

[@vadym8713]

is it? haven't noticed any differences )) But I haven't seen real CX90 here in Europe

[@saeednrzadeh4754]

In terms of cabin and features Mazda might be good choice, However in terms of drive train and driving dynamic the difference is day and night between these two.

[@autogefuehl]

Thats true actually

[@BuildersM8]

Mazda and Skoda interiors are amongst the best at the moment.

[@aysbg]

Not enough space in the second row but other than that, seems like a nice car.

[@szm9924]

Not a bad car, but it will clearly not steal any BMW customers

[@w.k.7277]

I just tested bmw5 top spec and it’s such un uncomfortable car. Didn’t feel solid either. I tested GLE last month and it was very stiff, so impossible for longer rides. I don’t know why German reviewers always compare other brands to German cars and talk about them as if they were better. It’ll be better to compare Mazda to Chinese equivalents or perhaps DS7.

[@siiNke]

i just need them to redesign rear and its top!

[@matthiaskoehler1504]

I have to say that the Mazda vision of interior design and haptic button control interface is what I really love! Sadly all the German manufacturers don`t think so. It`s hard to get a new company car without glossy plastics and the capacitive BS!

[@jacksonjoehler]

this should’ve been the cx70 without the 3rd row

[@fduran6993]

I like the design of CX90 which resembles Volvo Xc90. That said I would like a petrol engine together with 5 seats version.

[@rowanbyers2071]

Particularly nice colour. Can we have the power outputs in kilowatts. English speaking countries such as Australia haven't used horse power since the mid 1970's.

[@studiomwg]

They should have made the Euro models for the US. The 90 is even a little too big and bulbous. The 90 as a 2 row and called the 70 is a miss. The 60 could have taken the CX-5 place.

[@abdelmoneim3796]

If you want an X5 and can't afford it, get X5 model 2021 certified used car with dealer warranty. The Japanese is reliable but not as heart touching as the German. ( and not bankrupting you as the German would).

[@biggeststeppa1]

It's a wagon wanting to be an SUV! This is a good thing!

Beautiful vehicle

I prefer the way the Mazda's lights pulsate versus the BMWs.

You missed the booth width :( I always watch your videos because of real both size test. Its very important because amount of liters is not very useful information these days as manufacturers measure this very differently.

[@Seriously140]

Here from the USA. All the world needed was the CX-60 and the CX-90. The 70 and 80 are both unnecessary. Lots of us here in the US are very disappointed to not have gotten the CX-60.

[@ericfamilyname9152]

CX-60 came with a lot of problems, something not expected from Mazda. Hopefully this one is better.

[@electrikoptik]

Not only is the CX-80 more affordable than the X5, it also has higher build quality and is more reliable.

[@ramqashou1002]

Lately BMWs have proved to be very reliable. And this Mazda doesn't reach even half the quality of a BMW x5

[@marnuscoreyempanadaslooseb6760]

I own a current generation BMW X5, mate. There would be few cars with better build quality. I’ve sat in a top-end CX90. It’s pretty nice, but still not as nice as my X5. My X5 has also proven to be reliable since I bought it a year ago. For reference, it’s a 2018 X5. So no issues for a nearly 6 year old vehicle is pretty good reliability I would say.

[@arda_]

It is only more affordable. Rest of your statement is pure BS.

[@dinardinar3970]

And looks like dachshund…

[@JohnyMcNeal]

Proof for that? I don't believe it especially when it comes to build quality. Just to be clear I don't like the new BMW design language l, it's mostly disgusting (7 series before all) but BMW engineering is still top notch.

[@andikahaikal]

3rd row.. 😮‍💨😮‍💨 Think they should use cx90/70 length instead.

[@StalwartMan]

Danke.

[@hicnar]

There's absolutely nothing wrong with genuine leather being used for car upholstery.

[@autogefuehl]

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWLEf42bpMano6c). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6G1f56NbtOlqNk And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKe7loOHnsSAd80 New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM More and more natural materials are rising: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIO2pIt7o9x7etE Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest: www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars. We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

@@autogefuehlHere's a few facts for you.. CO2 constitutes on average about 0.04% of the air we breathe. If the CO2 levels dropped below 0.02% plants life would rapidly start do die out followed by everything else, as no CO2 means no photosynthesis and no photosynthesis means no O2. You're trying to solve an imaginary problem that does not exist employing means that manifestly do not work.

Great review as always Thomas, not sure about that interior though 🧐

[@RG-si6dy]

I despise the cover for the center console and can't stand mazada made the side doors inconvenient by taking away the tiny compartment near the window buttons to store little things in. People like to take crap out of their pockets when driving and not throw EVERYTHING in the center console area.
