I have now owned both of these Mazdas. My 2018 CX-9 Signature ($43,500 purchased from a $48,000 MSRP) and now after a semi totaled the CX-9, I have the CX-90 Turbo S prem plus ($61,750 MSRP purchased at MSRP). Let me say that after 2 weeks ownership, the CX-90 content (features and equipment) is quite good and impressive and MIGHT, but only might, justify that stratospheric increase in cost!

@@josefernandez2722 ...late response, sorry. I bought the first avail and first sold CX-90 in Georgia, USA. From the Atlanta Dealer "Jim Ellis Mazda". My transaction date was Mar 31st, '23 and I took delivery the next day on Apr 1st. I have 6,500 miles on it now 8 months later and it is a high-quality, high-featured, fun to drive vehicle that looks great and gets lots of comments. Artisan Red with the tan napa interior and amazing 2-tone steering wheel.
The CX-9 has real wood… please do your homework before saying these things… And please give us some differences of measurements between both SUV’s. Also did not mention that the CX-9 can be purchased as a 7 seater as well.
I tested the Palisade and the Telluride and this Mazda simply leaves those two in the dust in looks and performance. I never thought I would ever trade in my Yukon, but there's just something about this Mazda that changed my mind. It's a gorgeous vehicle that's also fun to drive.
It's interesting when seeing them side by side, you can appreciate what Mazda was trying to do with the cx9 and what they thought we wanted them to do with the cx90.
Absolutely real! Mazda even showcased this in all their ads! The beautiful brown wood accents in my CX-9 Signature really classed up the interior...along with the baseball-glove leather of my Auburn seats.
I recently bought my second CX9 in 10 years. I really thought I'd buy a Pathfinder or Explorer, but the Nissan felt bigger than needed and the Ford was stupid money for less trim and similar performance. I've been really pleased with the big CX9. I never looked at the CX90 at the time - my wife thought it ugly and I got sticker shock. But recently, I took my CX9 to have a tow bar fitted by the dealer. While the work was being done they kindly lent a CX90 (the inline 6, but not the hybrid) in mid-level trim. I was surprised - it felt heavy, awkward and simply characterless. The dealer seemed less than enthusiastic too - saying the CX9 just feels "lighter on its feet". Agreed.
The CX9 is a lot of bang for the buck, especially now. Top trim CX90’s are over $60K plus dealer markups. Who can spend that much on a car during a recession? With those high interest rates as well. If you’re in need of a large family car, I’d recommend the CX9 in GT or Signature trims. Used ones are in the low $30K range.
The major difference here is cx 90 is made on a proper rear wheel drive platform where the engine is mounted longitudinally sends more power to rear wheels, better weight distribution that should add to more handling ... I am 100 percent sure that the reviewer doesn't know anything about cars

In Australia top trim of Mazda cx90 is around AUD$37k expensive than top trim of Cx9. Cx9 is great value car ever I’m lucky to get the final version coming this month.
Yeah but the top trim CX-9 is fairly similar to the base trim CX90 in Australia, so price difference is around 4k there, and you're getting a much better engine and mild hybrid that the CX9 doesn't have. The top trim CX90 adds some additional luxuries but cost blows out to over 100k
@@MrGenAiMan that’s not correct. Top trim of cx9 is much better equipped than just base model of cx90 like no nappa leather, no sun roof, no ventilated front seat. Base-model looks very plastic and cheap, you just have a new engine with no data for reliability. I have a plan to swap to cx90 GT but can’t justify nearly $20k difference.

CX90 does have a new more powerful engine, better fuel consumption, a mild-hybrid for smoother ride at slow speed, an 8 gear transmission - but yes these are all new and untested, so 1st gen could have some issues. If you can wait a few years for the mid-life update, this will be a rocking car for sure. But if buying brand new today, I'm not sure it makes sense to get a CX9 top-trim to save 4k vs the CX90 base trim (Aus base trim is much higher speced than US base trim).
Thats crazy because the signature actually costs 48k because I have a 2020 Signature as well The new top-end model costs 12k more but is more powerful, roomier and luxurious Well worth it and the two vehicles arent really comparable when you go spec for spec
Ya know I really wish people understood car architecture and drivetrains more. You’re comparing two completely different drivetrains when comparing these two vehicles. The cx90 is a better vehicle and drivetrain. Now that means it’s going to cost more. Did it need to exist no, but there’s valid valid valid reasons that it costs more for a rear drive bias drivetrain and a much more expensive engine and mild hybrid components. It’s a much better drive but again I’m not sure mazda should get rid of the cx9 as the price gap is large.

a lot of common parts completely buried in, behind, underneath the engine. what should be a relatively inexpensive fix will be a small fortune because of the need to remove the engine to gain access. that is the only thing that worries me about the cx-90. when the warranty runs out, cross your fingers something doesn't go wrong.. good thing mazdas are typically very reliable though..

Wish you would have done the 280 HP Turbo CX-90 to the CX-9. I'm curious if the 280 HP CX-90 Turbo is a significant enough upgrade. What if you use premium gas does the 280 HP increase?
The answer to your last ques is ....no. There is no increase in HP for the 280hp turbo motor. Mazda's own literature states that the CX-90 Turbo will "get 280hp on both regular and premium fuel". For comparison, the same literature states that the CX-90 Turbo S will get 340hp on premium fuel and 319hp using regular unleaded fuel. It is a big WIN for the Turbo S that it produces the same torque with either fuel....369 lb-ft.
Dude youre reading it all wrong Its not just "280hp" Its 280hp coming from a center mounted straight six engine mated to an 8 speed transmission that powers a rwd-biased awd system That means that even if the CX9 had 280hp the CX90 would still be the sportier vehicle with better handling and better power delivery
M.J. I DO THINK you can get the Turbo S motor with SEVEN seats! Use the Mazda site to build one. There are 3 distinct trim levels of Turbo S: called "turbo S", turbo S Premium", and "turbo S premium plus". I know the Turbo S prem plus IS only a 6 seater, AND that MAY be true for the Turbo S Prem as well......but I thought the trim called "turbo S" could be had with either a 2nd row bench OR the 3rd row with 3 seatbelts and a 60/40 fold down split?
Did you guys measure the space of the cargo area? The current CX-9 has less room than the first gen did, and I'm hoping this CX-90 at least gets Mazda back to the old level of cargo space. Thanks.
We did a real world test and found the CX-90 to be noticeably better than the CX-9, but it's still as usable or deep as vehicles like the Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder.

Yeah the jump in price is pretty high. I guess Mazda is now targeting lease shoppers (through Toyota channels) like what the European 'luxury' car segment is doing. Nobody buys a Porsche or Lexus or Audi, people are in that category are fine with leasing. European luxury cars don't last beyond 5 years anyway.

Ehh I'm not sold on the CX 90. IMO they didn't make it big enough to truly be competitive. All the major players have been overhauled recently and most have grown a few inches. And while this is nice, I'd like to know who exactly is choosing this over the European luxury vehicles, be serious.
It'll be interesting to see a new CX-9 that's based on the CX-50 platform(a stretched CX-50 Meridian) that focuses more on off-road. This could help Mazda marketing from cannibalizing across product lines. There's room to have two 3 row SUVs.
The CX9 isnt coming back, it has reached the end of its lifespan as a platform and as a nameplate The CX9 was introduced in 2015 and the CX90 is it's successor If Mazda was looking at that market it would literally just use the CX90 as a starting point and simply add black cladding, skidplates and beefier tires....which is what the Explorer Timberline and Pathfinder Rock Creek already do
The Mazda CX 90 is way to expensive for a Mazda. It sounds like a really good car but people buy this price point for brand recognition and to show off their income to others. Driving in a 60 Thousand dollar Mazda gives buyers no ego trip or self congratulations for making enough money to buy an expensive car...Sorry Mazda,but I don't think this price point is going to work for your brand..
Well thats the highest trim. You can get one with every feature you'd want for about 50k. Which makes it extremely competitive with literally every 3 row crossover like Tellurides, Explorers and Pilots. I agree 60k is too much for mainstream, but Mazdas materials are pushing them past mainstream. It'll definitely be a while before buyers would compare this to traditional luxury brands, and it'll take years for them to really gain the Premium title. I think they're definitely nicer than most of their competitors. This is a great step for them on their mission to move upmarket!
@hoderharris1479 This car is clearly not for you and Mazda didn’t have you in mind when creating it. Plus there are lesser trims that are more attractive than competitors
It's cheaper than a top trim Pilot or Telluride and outclasses them in engine, chassis and interior. I predict a lot of conquest sales over other mainstream brands.

If Mazda was looking at that market it would literally just use the CX90 as a starting point and simply add black cladding, skidplates and beefier tires....which is what the Explorer Timberline and Pathfinder Rock Creek already do
Cx50 has c3 platform I believe
Oh, I thought the single digits would be phased out soon
Both cars are not nice inside. Desorder alongside the design.
Mazda think they're slick. They're going to drop the CX 5 and CX 9 eventually. 😂
Shame the high cost CX-90 IS HYBRID 😮😢
The wood is real please know car youre reviewing
Cx 90 looks like bmw x-3 or x5
the 9 will be no more so this whole vid is a mute point.
Bad review. You need to be more elaborative on power train
terrible video.... barely showed the tail end of the cx 90.
Les deux véhicules sont moches de l'intérieur. Les écrans mal adaptés, trop courts pour la manipulation, les accélérerateurs au sol, c'est vilain ça.
This reviewer needs to find a different job because I doubt he knows much about cars
The Mazda CX 90 is way to expensive for a Mazda. It sounds like a really good car but people buy this price point for brand recognition and to show off their income to others. Driving in a 60 Thousand dollar Mazda gives buyers no ego trip or self congratulations for making enough money to buy an expensive car...Sorry Mazda,but I don't think this price point is going to work for your brand..
Well thats the highest trim. You can get one with every feature you'd want for about 50k. Which makes it extremely competitive with literally every 3 row crossover like Tellurides, Explorers and Pilots. I agree 60k is too much for mainstream, but Mazdas materials are pushing them past mainstream. It'll definitely be a while before buyers would compare this to traditional luxury brands, and it'll take years for them to really gain the Premium title. I think they're definitely nicer than most of their competitors. This is a great step for them on their mission to move upmarket!
@hoderharris1479 This car is clearly not for you and Mazda didn’t have you in mind when creating it. Plus there are lesser trims that are more attractive than competitors
I think that may only be true for German brands. No body buys say an Acura for brand recognition and so it may vulnerable to products like cx-90.
It's cheaper than a top trim Pilot or Telluride and outclasses them in engine, chassis and interior. I predict a lot of conquest sales over other mainstream brands.
Have to agree. Have been looking for a fun driving SUV and now when I find it, it’s ridiculously expensive, bad third row seating and leg crunching backseat.
To over priced. A Genesis GV80 it’s a better option.
