When you have kids and take a lot of road trips, the space matters. I've 2 MDXs over the last 10 years and it's for sure a nice vehicle but we always felt cramped in it. The pallisade feels huge, and the space makes everyone more comfortable. We absolutely love it.

I used to be in the camp of "wtf no android auto touch available in motion?" However, after a couple months of using the rotary dial for all my inputs in my 2017 Mazda 3, it's my preferred input method. No ugly, greasy fingerprints all over the screen, and I've got my muscle memory established to the point where I rarely look at the screen, even for firing up navigation for saved destinations. I don't think I've touched the screen once in over a year, even if the car's parked.

[@Jmort93]

Same with BMW. Once you get used to the rotary it’s much more intuitive and feels more natural navigating the interface. I didn’t consider the fingerprints issue until you mentioned it!

[@justSomeUserOnYT]

Yeah the controls for the infotainment in Mazda has been and always will be superior to touch in 9/10 scenarios. The only time a touchscreen is superior is if you're parked, or if a passenger is changing something. But when driving it's useless and much more distracting.

6nice try bud. the bottom line for you is that you had to rationalize and go through the learning curve, to retrain yourself to accept that you don't have a choice and are forced to using the dial.... fact is the dial is just as distracting as the touch screen. you can slice and dice this argument all day, but it all boils down to you having to glance at the screen no matter which system you have.

[@theguard1]

[@Jmort93]

Hearing from an engineer familiar with the Mazda transmission, it’s a conventional transmission with an internal clutch pack serving as the “wet clutch”. He claims this possibly limits the ability to launch from a standstill, and also makes it incredibly complex to modulate as it’s acting as a torque converter at a standstill, needing to prevent rollback but also engage on demand. Hopefully it was engineered for reliability…

[@ferdelance7474]

Well, it's been the same transmission style in the Mazda 6-speed for years. And they have been decently reliable. Hopefully the new 8-speed is the same.

[@thomasbezak1090]

AFAIK it uses the mild hybrid electric motor to launch and then handoff to the clutch. There is no torque converter so it cant move the vehicle from a standstill without the electric motor.

[@i0001w]

This system should be more reliable but uses the electric motor to smooth it operation. Like Mercedes they have similar gearbox now

[@lav1daloca]

@@thomasbezak1090 sounds like a better more reliable system then since the electric motor will take the most pressure by initiating movement from standstill. This should be standard imo

isnt that the same style they used for the 6 speed? my 2021 mazda 3 has 140k yes it sucks from a standstill, but its been flawless so far. most of the driving is city driving to. unlimited KM powertrain warranty for 5 years.

Saw a lot of people here trying to decide between the telluride, Highlander and the CX-90. It’s simple, if interior space is your priority, CX-90 would lose every time, as it was never designed to be a minivan alternative. But if you care about design, craftsmanship, driving dynamics, and how all of them come together as a whole, it would literally be an insult to even compare the CX-90 to the highlander, telluride, or even the MDX. Nobody in their right mind, given they know at least a little bit about cars, would compare a RWD inline-6 turbo setup to a bunch of FWD turbo 4 and V6 cars and ask which is better - they are not even in the same league. Can’t believe we are still having this conversation…

[@canadiancissp]

Mazda wins, no question. Way more power and better fuel economy. Much better driving dynamics. Fantastic front row / cabin. The "Calligraphy" trim of the Palisade is expensive (very close in price to the CX90), and now it looks so basic, so if you pay almost the same, why accept less?

Last year drove Hyundai Kona with Lane Keep Assist. It was the best lane keeper I've ever drove: it keeps the best trajectory on any speed and do it very comfortable. The second place I give to Opel Grandland. Interesting is it the same over all cars in Hyundai.

[@vin6135]

For me, the sweet spot in the CX-90 line up is going to be the 280 HP engine in the Premium Plus trim level. It’s down a little bit on horsepower than the high output 6 and is missing a couple of little luxury features like the power steering wheel or rear ventilated seats, but it does check off all the other boxes … panoroof, front ventilated seats, and bonus, it seats three (kids) in the third row, so it has slightly more seating capacity. For nearly $10,000 less than its high output counterpart, it will retain the awesome handling.

I think all these reviews are sleeping on the lower trim CX-90s. Mazda always has really good value options, and the trim levels always feel very fairly equipped. The inline six really helps with the premium feeling, not sure it really matters if it has more HP or not. 280hp in base trim is more than adequate.

Me and my wife purchased in full the first cx-90 in midland Odessa Texas area!!!! We love ❤️ it!!!! And boy oh boy does she drive great!!!! We have 1 kid so space in third row isn’t a big deal. It’s a great great ride. MAZDA!

[@TalismanPHX]

Definitely the Mazda. The Hyundai wont hold resale value like the Mazda, plus you'll have to deal with shady Hyundai dealerships.....

Great video! I have a Palisade Limited and am going to Mazda today to look at the 90 and the 50. Considering leasing one of those. So this video was perfect timing!

[@tommytufguy3432]

Mazda for sure for me

[@ascanius_son_of_aeneas5344]

The cx90 with the grey two tone interior looks insane. Very minimalist with a nice german looking exterior. If I was into suvs I would consider the cx90.

[@wthutch7882]

I would love to see mention of auto-dimming exterior side mirrors. It's a feature so many automakers overlook but it is a necessity for me personally and I would love to know which models have it.

[@TheScottAF]

Palisade has it, but you'll have to option up to Limited/Calligraphy I believe.

[@Natethegreat200c]

Oof that’s a good one ! How do you locate cars with that? Do you just default to buying more high end expensive cars because they often have them and you don’t have to think, or do you find the mainstream cars with them?

[@faeinthebay]

​​@@Natethegreat200c I have astigmatism so dimming side mirrors were a must-have when I was car shopping. Virtually no economy cars have them besides the odd VW or Nissan (and even then, you might need to import parts from overseas). It's generally limited to premium/luxury brands. Genesis includes it on most trims, so I went for a used 2015 sedan. And Mercedes only includes it on the driver side for some reason.

[@OmerTheGreatOne]

My 2009 mazda6 has auto-dimming exterior and interior mirrors. Not sure if Mazda still offers that. It requires a light sensor in the center mirror.

[@differencemaker242]

I'd bet the 90 has it. My 16' mazda6 has them. I'd be shocked if they omitted that feature on their most premium product ever.

[@CJT3]

I'm just going to have to say it. Mazda is the best overall car company there is. No other company combines great style and driving dynamics WITH reliability as well as they do. Lexus may be right there with them, but Mazda's on top in my opinion.

[@ajaurgemma5341]

'By a mile'. ... But it will outlast the Daewoo by 200K.

[@classiccj2569]

The good thing about the Mazda's infotainment is that the screen is at a good distance where your eyes don't have to adjust as much when glancing back and forth from the road to it. Also, the dial is right where your arm will naturally lay, so you can comfortably use it without having you hold your arm up trying to touch the screen while going over bumps and stuff.

[@tri3pleagent]

More power, better FE, better driving dynamics, more premium interior... I'll take the Mazda.

[@superawesomefuntimego]

The Palisade for sure is a nice rig and offers good value, but the CX-90 is absolutely worth the extra $$. The Mazda is soooooooo much better looking inside and out, faster and handles much more competently. We picked up a new Acura MDX A-Spec in the last year and if the CX-90 was available at the time, we almost certainly would have went that route.

[@trevorsutherland5263]

Mazda all day long. 2020 Palisades and Tellurides now showing up in the used off-lease market and they are exactly what you'd expect to see in a three year old Hyundai or Kia. Rattling parts, worn trim; headed straight for the "Buy Here Pay Here" lot by 2025 just the same as any other Hyundai, Kia or Genesis. Japan has already forgotten more about building cars than Korea will ever know.

[@keynesianeconomics4113]

@@paul562 Mazda aren't wannabe luxury; they've always built great cars but they've been venturing into that gap between Honda/Toyota and Acura/Lexus for a few years now.

[@erlombardi]

I traded my Cx9 Carbon for a Palisade about 2 months ago. So far, after diving it and a road trip, the Palisade offers so much more than mazda and im glad i made the trade. The warranty is great, but hopefully, i won't need it, and I'll update with any less than normal troubles. I was nervous of the brand but its won me over fully. The SUV is better then my cx9 and my 2021 traverse.

[@dwolfe2907]

That blacked out palisade looks so sick though. Seen many get that and mod it up too, looks pretty badass

Hyundai has been really good during this decade, although I have been really annoyed by the "Wahs" of the commercials, especially when I'm watching hockey

[@aceofspades6667]

Interesting I think the mazda is better way better. The coming cx-70 with that 3.3T inline 6 is going to be an rdx slayer and a gv-70 competitor for $7k -$10k cheaper than both.

[@Trapan93]

13:35 the Mazda DOES have a towing mode but its hidden until you hook up to something with the trailer hitch and the electronic connections that you would have installed with your hitch. Its the same for my CX-50. No need to display the option when you are not towing anything.

[@wea1978]

I have a Sonata and use the turn signal cameras all the time. They make lane changes a breeze

[@misterfini6662]

Bought a 24 CX-90 Select (base model). I love it. Got it at MSRP for $38.5k with a rebate off the lot. Even the base model had features i didnt know existed. Theres a couple things i would have like to have, like power folding mirrors, even though it has heated mirrors. I dont want heated or fancy leather seats, or a sun/moon roof. I just wanted it for the 3rd row and drivetrain with 28mpg.

[@danielkerekes9053]

The Mazda is pure class. If I was in the market for a new midsize SUV between 50-100k, only thing I’d consider over this would be the Mercedes GLE

[@danielbarros3771]

Best comparison ever. Kudos!

[@alwaysiyi272]

I think I’m this segment, having a FWD layout might be the better option. They are more space efficient and most parents that are buying this don’t really care for what engine their vehicle has or anything. That being said, I can’t wait to see what other vehicles come on this Mazda platform

[@TheRandomActivity]

Transverse engine and automatic transaxels have a well known history to be garbage especially the later ones used in kias/hyundais having so many issues. Components have to be far more compact to fit under the front hood compared to a conventional longitudinal engine and transmission layout that they can make alot larger and stronger.

[@loooopeytunes]

@@TheRandomActivity Wrong. Longitudinal engine and transmission needs to be compact than a transverse engine because it takes a lot of space in the hood (you need longer hood length), longer wheelbase, and a hump in the cabin to accomodate a driveshaft, which reduce cabin capacity. And all of that makes the chassis heavier than a fwd. Meanwhile, transverse fwd engine takes less space because the engine and transmission is only located in the front and provide more space in the cabin. Honda and toyota have been making fwd cars for a long time and it's known for their reliability. I don't want to talk about bmw, merc, and other euro cars about reliability lol

[@PaulHojda]

Well, if you really need to transport 5 passengers regularly, a minivan would be infinitely better than either. That's where you really get space efficiency

[@dparis2172]

@@PaulHojdaTrue if you’re transporting 6 regularly. For 5 a minivan is overkill, and excruciatingly boring overkill at that.

Both of them got a great front side design than the new BMW....

[@mortenstra]

Sooo agree with you that the infotainment in Mazda focuses on safety, and by that is better! Just needs to get use to it for a while to get the muscle memory going. I have a Mazda 6 with the same infotainment, and I hoped that other manufactures get rid of the touch screens to reduce accidents (increased typically in new EV's that have those)

[@chendurpandian9106]

As a owner of a CX90 for a month now i, I had my parking brake malfunctioned already which needed mazda USA tech support to be involved. They took 7 days to get the problem resolved. Terrible support for such a new vehicle.. They didnt know what was the root cause they simply replaced my ABS.

[@MBisFrenchy]

Both excellent vehicles but I expect the Mazda to have less issues long term. (obviously excluding the first model year as for any new car the first model year will have the most issues)

[@Soh90]

Why is everyone so upset about the Mazda touch screen situation? I think the rotary control knob is easy to use and much less distractive. And the Mazda feels clunky because of the transmission. The electric motor is actually driving the car forward briefly before the clutch engages to the engine.
