@moonsapling I'm not a fan of downsized turbos which is why I choose the 3 over a conventional civic. I've heard good things about the Civic hybrid but I also am a shopper and want a deal. I'm loyal to Mazda as long as they stay loyal to people like me. We will see. The 3 will never make them a shit ton of money but with people like me it keeps us loyal to the brand.
@nachomandetailingservices1057 Relistically I think the 3 becomes a hybrid someday. I suspect those days are a long way off though like not until 2030.
I hope they don't phase out the Mazda 3! It is hugely popular over here in Australia, especially the hatch. The US seems to have this obsession for SUV's and Australia is shifting in that direction too, but luckily Mazda recognises how popular the 3 is here still.
Mazda 3 also very popular in Canada. Seems like the US is the only place it's not selling as well. Though I am kind of sad they stopped offering the manual this year.
I live in Ohio, and I just bought a manual 2021 mazda3 over the summer and I love it so much, the shifter is so smooth and its really fun to drive and LOOKS amazing. My first car at the start of college in 2019 was a 2006 mazda3 and that was wonderful too, but the 4th gen Mazda3 is just leagues ahead of the older gens and looks stunning, and when I initially test drove cars, I was grinning so hard when I drove the base model 2006 Mazda3 over a Civic. I would be real sad if Mazda ever gets rid of the 3 and it seems to mostly be competing well with the other options in its segment, with the biggest downside being rear passenger space, and then people also complain or don't get the mazda3 since you can't get the manual with the Turbo or AWD options.
I hate saying it, but I think the Mazda CX-30 has effectively supplanted the Mazda3 here in the US. With the 4th Gen Mazda 3's softened suspension and steering, there's not much of a disadvantage to choosing the more spacious, better visibility CX-30. (Now if they could only bring us a Turbo 3 with AWD + 6MT... :P )
Also very popular with me. I own one!! However, in Spain SUVs are also dominant and I guess Mazda sells 4 or 5 SUVs for every M3. It's rare to see a M3 on the street, but it's less rare than seeing a new VW Golf!!! 😂
I truly hope they bring back the Mazda 6 with all of my heart!!! With the looks of the Mazda design language, the superior design of their interior compared to Toyota and Honda, and their reliability being that they’re a Japanese brand joint with Toyota would make a new 6 beyond tempting. I’d absolutely buy the top trim on day one the second they announced it no lie 😍
The thing is in the very last years of the 6 they basically just made it identical to the 3 and then killed off the 6. Dont think theyre bringing back the 6 just get a 3 theyre great
After crashing my 2017 BMW 5 series last september, I bought a 2018 Mazda 6. Honestly...if I had known the Mazda 6 was that good, I never would have bought my second BMW 5... I'm enjoying the Mazda 6 so much more than my 5 series. The only reason I can see why the Mazda 6 didn't sell that good, is the fact it didn't have enough power. 194hp and 258 Nm of torque (190 lb-ft) is not enough for a sporty looking car like that. My BMW had 232 hp and 500Nm of torque, BUT... I still prefer my Mazda 6.
I just bought a new Mazda 3 AWD Premium sedan to replace my 2007 Subaru Legacy but I'd definitely be interested in that revived Mazda 6 if it comes to fruition!
I think they screwed up by going too high up in the price without the dealer network or popular cultural cache to justify it, especially given some of the choices they made with suspension. The hatch is also, smaller iirc, than previous gen (at least cargo wise) and it is genuinely a coffin with how poor visibility is.
The wagon qualities is what makes it great. Still has SUV ground clearance but lower trunk deck for easy load/unload. There’s some roof cut but it just makes it feel like a car inside that’s still roomy.
I am with you as for the 6; with the inline 6 and rear wheel drive it will gather lots of interest as the CX-90. I just hope that the 6 looks as good as the XC-90.
I bought a brand new Mazda this year. It has been such an amazing vehicle! In fact, my sister liked my vehicle and experience so much that she bought one for her family. Mazda is a refreshing surprise in the car market right now. It just reeks of premium quality and fun!
Great content. I have a CX90 and had software updates during an oil change. The jerky transmission is vastly improved, particularly at low speeds. In addition, many of the false safety alerts have stopped.
I have had the same experience with mine. This is to be expected with a new model. The crybabies need to calm down. This is why cars are sold with warranty.
@@jcougot Exactly, plus Mazda is very good about continuous improvement. If you're going to play in the premium field you'd better be responsive to your customers.
I am not surprised! MAZDA makes THE BEST LOOKING AND THE MOST RELIABLE VEHICLES! As a proud Mazda 6 owner, I LOVE MY CAR! My 2015 Mazda 6 looks great, drives great and has never given me any issues since I bought it brand new back in December 2014.
CX-90 owner here. Had 5 Mazdas thus far. IMHO - best band for the buck and the maintenance-repairs have been phenomenal. Having a CX-90 now - not sure where I'd go from here - not a fan of buying the same car twice..... but good for now....
@@limitedreach4446 well, when a CR-V hybrid sport cost $39k it’s a immediate competitor in my eyes. And you know as well as I do that the quality of the CX-70, even in its cheapest trim will be 10x better and more premium than the CR-V.
@@limitedreach4446You are right. By going Rwd Mazda is a premium brand. I'm so excited ! I've always said they are most underrated carmaker in the world.
The Mazda 3 sedan with AWD. is awesome i hope they never cancel that lineup. Seriously this is one of my best sedan choice especially if it remains naturally aspirated 4 cylinder
I bought a 2018 mazda6 soul crystal red it still runs great. 113,000 miles on it. The front just has some rock chips. But it still turns heads. I wish they made a mazda6 crossover like the Toyota crown. A bit taller.
Are you nuts? If you want some ugly " crossover sedan thing" then you go buy the horrendous Toyota's so called "Crown" don't wish to ruin the Mazda 6 like that.
I am waiting for the CX-70, and may get one. I have been wanting an AWD Mazda 6 for years now. I am still driving my good 'ole 2004 Mazda 6, it's been a great car. If a new Mazda 6 comes out, I will trade-in whatever I'm driving at the time, include the CX-70 if I decide to go that route. I will probably keep my old 6 though, I have put a lot of custom work into her and don't think I can part.
Long live the Mazda 6! I love my 2021 Grand Touring Reserve, which I bought after doing research online. Your review was one of the reasons I got the turbo. Zoom! Zoom! I use 93 octane gas and the car is a beast in mid-sized sedan clothing and a true pleasure to drive. So much luxury for the price I paid. Thank you, Kirk. Merry Christmas and a happy new car models year to you! 🎄🎄🎄
LONG LIVE MAZDA6! I still love my 2014 GT with only (80k miles) and don’t want any other car. Bring us Mazda6! I’m holding out as long as I can. Not an SUV guy either but might consider CX-50 hybrid in charcoal gray to mask some of that cladding! It is a fun drive.
I feel like something people dont talk about much is the amount of nice colors you can choose from to your Mazda vehicle, a lot which other car companies wont even do
I will hold on to my 2015 Mazda 6 until they come up with a new one - we’ll see. And even if they do, I will probably buy the new one and keep the old one.
They seriously need a new refreshed Mazda 6 with the design cues of the CX-90, an inline 6, and the space of a Lexus ES. Would be a true luxury midsize sedan competitor!
i own the 2018 mazda 6 signature, i already have 87000miles on it! i friggin love my car, if a newer generation of 6 comes out with AWD .. i might consider getting it!
I just got the 2024 Mazda 3 Select Sport in ceramic metallic and I'm in love with this car. This car was my choice over the Toyota Camry and the Corolla.
Company is unique in what’s become a toy industry. They believe in timing chains, not belts, real automatic transmissions they build themselves, and inline 6 engines. Nobody else in the world does these great things. Next, they need real body on frame models, with rear wheel drive options in their bull pen. They can be the most sought after car company, as long as they ignore what the rest are doing, and follow their own path - people will come, in droves.
I currently drive a 2023 Mazda3 2.5 S Select Sedan. I wish Mazda would offer a manual transmission on the lower spec trims. I don’t need leather seats, sunroof, or a Bose sound system.
I have concerns of Mazda phasing out the 3 due to its sales and the fact it is moving away from passenger cars and to SUVs and crossovers. I have a 2020 Mazda 3 Premium and absolutely love it!
Mazda SUV line up.. CX3, CX30, CX5, CX50, CX60, CX70,CX8, CX80, CX9, CX90, and don't forget mx 50, I thought Nissan go down because they make to many car variations with little difference but Mazda just make Nissan looks good.
mazda is on a roll all they have to do is just make good on the 8speed tranny for all there cars including there mazda 3 on the next update none of that cvt crap improve nvh slightly across the board throw in 48v mild hybrid across the range for non hybrid user and 100km ev range phev model across the lineup and update there cx5 and mzda will have one of the strongest contender.
We need Mazda 6 wagons in the States to compete with Subaru! Luckily i got a '15 VW Golf Sportwagon SE tsi before VW Stopped selling this in USA. Does everything well, super fun to drive and have gotten 39mpg on road trip. Cheers
I want the Mazda SP concept the most. Give it to me as is or do the LF-LC to LC in that we basically got what we were promised. I think the LC actually looked better than the concept which is never happened before.
Current owner of a 2024 CX-5 and I like it but I liked my Tucson more. The Mazda is super nice but I’m happy we leased it so we’re not completely tied to it.
@@solderbuffwould really improve fuel consumption in city driving if they put in the Toyota hybrid system. The yaris does well below 4L/100km so the mazda 3 could easily do below 5L/100km
Mazda kills it in styling. More collaboration with Toyota seems like a recipe for success for consumers and Mazda. My best vehicles have been Toyotas, I still drive a 2005 4Runner with over 200k. If I could get better mileage it would be perfect.
In Spain we love hatchbacks and the Mazda 3 is all over the place. Absolutely no way they discontinue it. And the 6 is in the line up as well. Long live “low” cars.
I’m looking at the CX 90 turbo S but have heard a lot of complaints about engine noise and transmission concerns… have you driven it? What’s your thoughts?
Got a CX-50 AWD and it's a great running vehicle and it will stay flat in the curves. I hope they bring the 6 back with a 2.5 hybrid and the inline 6. Mazda is about the only Japanese brand not using a CVT. TY
Why don’t people mention the fact that the CX-90 timing chain was moved to the rear of the engine? Many minor repairs will require pulling the engine. Bonehead move by Mazda engineers!
Level headed people don't care. How often do you replace a timing chain? I do all my own maintenance and I'm not worried about it... In fact, I'd almost bet that there will be a way to replace it without removing the engine.
As a CX50 and MX5 owner I just love what they are producing these days. I can certainly afford much more expensive cars but there's no reason they are more enjoyable to drive than anything without spending twice as much.
Once they announced the inline 6 for the cx-90 I took a double take. Because now Mazda have their own manual transmission (mx5 Nd), long nose designs, which they could easily now combine all into a sports model. Imagine a long nose, inline 6, manual, 4door or 2door coupe in soul red. Wowza.
Mazda 6 grand coupe would be fire, but im not getting my hopes up. Its a niche segment, and german automakers are well established there. Would probably end up like stinger.
Would love a Mazda 6 with the inline six and a manual, but the Miata manual will not work. It is designed for low power and they have had issues with it with under 200 hp. They would be fine just buying a ZF manual and using it as it is rock solid.
We’ve owned 8 Mazda’s in our lifetime and they have all been bulletproof. Sadly though it seems the CX-90 just isn’t selling as I thought it would have. Dealer lots here in the Southeast are full of CX-90s even with massive incentives being offered. Hopefully it’ll change in FY24..
Forget about almost everyone being obsessed with a hybrid CX50, how about updating the transmission to the 8 speed!! It would improve performance and fuel economy (by spacing out more gears) without adding long term possible expensive reliability issues.
Love the CX-30 design agreed about the cladding, would be nice too they offer a hybrid or even EV version of it. The front lights also look cheap if they could incorporate some DRLs it would really stand out. My coworker has one and it just zips out on the road and he says it is really fun to drive when he goes on road trips. Not surprised about the 3 sedan, it has no headroom and the hatch has no rear passenger room hopefully they phase the 3 out and just stick to the Miata for those who want to be squished in a vehicle and super low to the ground.
@@quixomega agreed, I would say it all just comes down to personal taste. The cladding at least protects the lower part of the doors, my last vehicle would scrape the sidewalk when opening doors so it's nice to have as precautionary measures of protection.
I would like to see a mazda3 EV similar to the Mazda mx-30 but without the added height of the crossover style and with improved range. And I like the suicide doors. It is great for those who have just an occasional 3rd passenger and it still has a hatchback for the ability to load things into car.
Hey Kirk any idea when the 2025 CX-90’s are set to come out? I’m somewhat in the market, I have 7 months left on my CX-9 lease. I’m hoping they come out before my lease is up. I’m looking to purchase my next vehicle but I’m a bit concerned buying the 1st year model of the CX-90. Thanks!
If they kept the stick shift in the 3 sedan, (for the US market) I would still be with Mazda. Drove @ 300k miles in the previous gen 3 with zero problems.
Long Live Mazdaspeed.... That's what I want to see! Give us out Mazda 6 and Mazdaspeed brand back. Also, I think Mazda should learn do everything themselves. Like hire some tech folks and give us something other automakers don't have. My cx90 phev is lacking tech. Mazda is always behind in tech because they don't focus on that. But it's time to step this shit up.
I would LOVE for Mazda to enter the RWD sedan and coupe segments. Especially if they give them inline 6 engines with good power and can keep the price point reasonable. I think there is a market for cars like that in the US it's just that coupes are almost non-existent and most sedans are FWD and boring. I see plenty of BMWs and Mercedes sedans around. If Mazda could provide a similar driving experience for less money I'd seriously consider it.
the thumbnail looks like a bmw and mustang and a modern civic had a child and I really don't know how I feel about it. other than that go Mazda! The SP looks SO COOl
I want a competitor model reveal to show that they still have what it takes to show up at the starting line against the 400z and supra. Sadly i dont think that will ever come.
They need to start putting in larger displays into their cars with better tech and functions to catch up. But overall, all Mazda line ups are great cars.
I'd bet the mazda3 won't get a redesign until it's near or at 10 years service life. The current generation launched for 2019. Maybe a very minimal "refresh" but I'd bet it'll be options related and potential something like lighting, nothing like exterior redesigns.
Mazda needs a halo car, and ive said this before if you want to be considered a luxury brand you need a executive sedan. Its a requirement for the brand to have that moniquer and that's lacking. They do that plus that stunning little red number 0:07, and id argue they could be called a luxury brand which is what they want. Why i have no idea but that's come from the company directly so... Ive never seen a luxury saloon from Mazda but they have dropped us some sexy concepts. This brand has sex appeal like no other. That SP is a direct example. 😩🤤
Been holding out on buying a new vehicle for a Mazda EV. An EV Miata or Mazda 3 would be an instant buy. I own two Mazdas. I know most Mazda fans dont want to see an EV Miata but I do.
With the cx90, cx50 and now the cx70 chassis... they need to bring back the b22OO. Should be the bx??(t) for two different engine variants. Pay me Mazda!
Mazda 6 with an inline 6 and RWD will crush all regular midsize sedans considering none of them are RWD and the Camry will no longer be offered with a 6 cylinder. However, if it will be marketed as a luxury car, it needs to be at least as powerful as the IS350 and TLX in order to be competitive.
If the CX-70 doesn’t have the same flaws of the CX-90 of the stiff ride and unrefined powertrain that doesn’t match the looks of the vehicle, it will be a great vehicle. It will be the one of the very few 2-row six cylinder crossovers left now. Even 3 row, non-luxury six cylinder crossovers are scarce since the Highlander went to four cylinders. Really only Pilot, Telluride, Pallisade and not everyone wants 3 rows or the bulky size.
In Europe, CX-60 (the European version of the CX-70) has got some updates on the suspension (softer suspension) and some software updates on the transmission. I don't know if the updates completely eliminated the unrefinement of the transmission, but it should be better.
@@faheemabbas3965 A lot of them here in Poland and reviewers already said the new model year eliminated all of the problems. It was a new platform so they most likely just needed more feedback to test everything out.
If they cancel the Mazda 3 I am likely moving to Honda when I get tired of my 22. I am one of those who don't like and never will like SUVs.
Honda absolutely killed it with the new Civic. I have driven the european e:hev model and honestly, it was really fast on a winding mountain road!

mazda is on a roll all they have to do is just make good on the 8speed tranny for all there cars including there mazda 3 on the next update none of that cvt crap improve nvh slightly across the board throw in 48v mild hybrid across the range for non hybrid user and 100km ev range phev model across the lineup and update there cx5 and mzda will have one of the strongest contender.
I’m gonna agree with you on the needing of a hybrid model for the cx-5! I absolutely love the CX-5.
We need Mazda 6 wagons in the States to compete with Subaru!
Luckily i got a '15 VW Golf Sportwagon SE tsi before VW Stopped selling this in USA. Does everything well, super fun to drive and have gotten 39mpg on road trip.
Cheers
I want the Mazda SP concept the most. Give it to me as is or do the LF-LC to LC in that we basically got what we were promised. I think the LC actually looked better than the concept which is never happened before.
Current owner of a 2024 CX-5 and I like it but I liked my Tucson more. The Mazda is super nice but I’m happy we leased it so we’re not completely tied to it.
That would be awesome! Definitely need more hybrids , i agree. Since they are working with Toyota now, sure would be nice
I hope for Mazda 3 Hybrid 🤤
@@solderbuffwould really improve fuel consumption in city driving if they put in the Toyota hybrid system. The yaris does well below 4L/100km so the mazda 3 could easily do below 5L/100km
Offer a Mazda 6 with the straight-six and I'm in.
Mazda kills it in styling. More collaboration with Toyota seems like a recipe for success for consumers and Mazda. My best vehicles have been Toyotas, I still drive a 2005 4Runner with over 200k. If I could get better mileage it would be perfect.
I would be interested in a Mazda 6 4-door-Hatchback in either 2.5L or hybrid powertrain.
The Mazda 6 would be a wagon if it were to have a hatched back.
@@mrgurulittle7000 I like the look of a 4 door hatchback better. I'm already an empty nester; hatchback is big enough for me.
@@mrgurulittle7000there actually are Mazda6 wagons sold overseas (two markets are Australia and Japan iirc)
@@HumbleBearcatYou’d have to consider the Mazda 3 because I doubt the 6 would be made into a hatchback. It’s too big to be a hatchback.
@@faheemabbas3965I love the Mazda 6 wagon.🥰
In Spain we love hatchbacks and the Mazda 3 is all over the place. Absolutely no way they discontinue it. And the 6 is in the line up as well. Long live “low” cars.
I’m looking at the CX 90 turbo S but have heard a lot of complaints about engine noise and transmission concerns… have you driven it? What’s your thoughts?
Mazda 6 for me please, I had a MK1 years ago and I loved it.
Got a CX-50 AWD and it's a great running vehicle and it will stay flat in the curves. I hope they bring the 6 back with a 2.5 hybrid and the inline 6. Mazda is about the only Japanese brand not using a CVT. TY
I want the Mazda 6 to be a lift back!!
Inline 6 + AWD + liftback!
Why don’t people mention the fact that the CX-90 timing chain was moved to the rear of the engine? Many minor repairs will require pulling the engine. Bonehead move by Mazda engineers!
Then don't get the car. There's a million other cars on market. Leave it for rest of us. More competition makes haggling harder for me lol.
Not bonehead it’s for packaging that inline6
Level headed people don't care. How often do you replace a timing chain? I do all my own maintenance and I'm not worried about it... In fact, I'd almost bet that there will be a way to replace it without removing the engine.
As a CX50 and MX5 owner I just love what they are producing these days. I can certainly afford much more expensive cars but there's no reason they are more enjoyable to drive than anything without spending twice as much.
Once they announced the inline 6 for the cx-90 I took a double take. Because now Mazda have their own manual transmission (mx5 Nd), long nose designs, which they could easily now combine all into a sports model. Imagine a long nose, inline 6, manual, 4door or 2door coupe in soul red. Wowza.
Mazda 6 grand coupe would be fire, but im not getting my hopes up. Its a niche segment, and german automakers are well established there. Would probably end up like stinger.
Would love a Mazda 6 with the inline six and a manual, but the Miata manual will not work. It is designed for low power and they have had issues with it with under 200 hp. They would be fine just buying a ZF manual and using it as it is rock solid.
Let's hope they find a fix for the flaw with the rav4 hybrids system where the rear high voltage ⚡ cable corrodes...
We’ve owned 8 Mazda’s in our lifetime and they have all been bulletproof. Sadly though it seems the CX-90 just isn’t selling as I thought it would have. Dealer lots here in the Southeast are full of CX-90s even with massive incentives being offered. Hopefully it’ll change in FY24..
Don't know in there but in Australia it's aus 100k car.. Up 30k from cx9 they out of their mind now.
Really a shame about the 3 sales because it's the best car in the segment. If a redesign comes, I will order one.
Forget about almost everyone being obsessed with a hybrid CX50, how about updating the transmission to the 8 speed!! It would improve performance and fuel economy (by spacing out more gears) without adding long term possible expensive reliability issues.
Love the CX-30 design agreed about the cladding, would be nice too they offer a hybrid or even EV version of it. The front lights also look cheap if they could incorporate some DRLs it would really stand out. My coworker has one and it just zips out on the road and he says it is really fun to drive when he goes on road trips. Not surprised about the 3 sedan, it has no headroom and the hatch has no rear passenger room hopefully they phase the 3 out and just stick to the Miata for those who want to be squished in a vehicle and super low to the ground.
No, no, mo. We need Mazda 3. My family loves it. You can't put a family into a Miata.
I own a CX-30 and while I don't love the cladding you get used to it eventually. Is it weird? Yes. Is it a dealbreaker? Not for me.
@@solderbuff a family in such a tiny car? Wow your family must love being in tight places
@@quixomega agreed, I would say it all just comes down to personal taste. The cladding at least protects the lower part of the doors, my last vehicle would scrape the sidewalk when opening doors so it's nice to have as precautionary measures of protection.
@@willnye9788 , we are all shorter than 6 feet and we are all not obese. Mazda 3 is perfect for us.
I would like to see a mazda3 EV similar to the Mazda mx-30 but without the added height of the crossover style and with improved range. And I like the suicide doors. It is great for those who have just an occasional 3rd passenger and it still has a hatchback for the ability to load things into car.
Why are models no longer featuring fog lights?
I would like to see one more RX7 with a 3 rotor or 4 rotor naturally aspirated engine before they head full Ev zoom zoom
Love my 2019 Mazda 3 hatchback. Made me switch from Nissan to Mazda fan. Superior package from Mazda at the right price.
Just wait the CX 70 will be the new carry for Mazda brand. It will blow up in sales
Mazda is so underrated... GOAT brand.
I want the Mazda 6 Wagon back in North America
When I got my cx90 serviced at my local Mazda shop. The salesmen told me there gonna have a car with the inline 6 coming soon.
Hey Kirk any idea when the 2025 CX-90’s are set to come out? I’m somewhat in the market, I have 7 months left on my CX-9 lease. I’m hoping they come out before my lease is up. I’m looking to purchase my next vehicle but I’m a bit concerned buying the 1st year model of the CX-90. Thanks!
Ive had two mazda 6's and they were the favorite cars ive had.
I would totally get an Inline 6 Mazda6! Make it happen!
If they kept the stick shift in the 3 sedan, (for the US market) I would still be with Mazda. Drove @ 300k miles in the previous gen 3 with zero problems.
Long Live Mazdaspeed.... That's what I want to see! Give us out Mazda 6 and Mazdaspeed brand back.
Also, I think Mazda should learn do everything themselves. Like hire some tech folks and give us something other automakers don't have. My cx90 phev is lacking tech. Mazda is always behind in tech because they don't focus on that. But it's time to step this shit up.
What we need is Speed3 and Speed6 back!
I would LOVE for Mazda to enter the RWD sedan and coupe segments. Especially if they give them inline 6 engines with good power and can keep the price point reasonable. I think there is a market for cars like that in the US it's just that coupes are almost non-existent and most sedans are FWD and boring. I see plenty of BMWs and Mercedes sedans around. If Mazda could provide a similar driving experience for less money I'd seriously consider it.
the thumbnail looks like a bmw and mustang and a modern civic had a child and I really don't know how I feel about it. other than that go Mazda! The SP looks SO COOl
I want a competitor model reveal to show that they still have what it takes to show up at the starting line against the 400z and supra. Sadly i dont think that will ever come.
Been waiting for the CX-50 for awhile. Hope it arrives by early 20205.
what happened to that turbo inline 6. is that still in the works?
Toyota mechanicals with Mazda interior and exterior design, sign me up!
That concept 6 is gas😮💨😮💨😮💨
They need to start putting in larger displays into their cars with better tech and functions to catch up. But overall, all Mazda line ups are great cars.
Miss the Mazda 6, that car was criminally underrated.
I'd bet the mazda3 won't get a redesign until it's near or at 10 years service life. The current generation launched for 2019. Maybe a very minimal "refresh" but I'd bet it'll be options related and potential something like lighting, nothing like exterior redesigns.
If that Mazda 6 is what it looks like i might get that over the Lexus es
It won't look anything like that. That looks like an accord. It will look like the Mazda Vision concept which looks even better.
They need independent rear suspension on the cx 50, cx 30. The cx 50 is expensive for what you are getting
Not really
I'd love to see the CX-3 return with the Skyactive-X engine.
What about a Mazda speed six with the in-line six to compete with BMW M series.
At 5:20 Now that's a Mazda I would love to see, it looks clean and mean
Mazda needs a halo car, and ive said this before if you want to be considered a luxury brand you need a executive sedan. Its a requirement for the brand to have that moniquer and that's lacking. They do that plus that stunning little red number 0:07, and id argue they could be called a luxury brand which is what they want. Why i have no idea but that's come from the company directly so... Ive never seen a luxury saloon from Mazda but they have dropped us some sexy concepts. This brand has sex appeal like no other. That SP is a direct example. 😩🤤
Been holding out on buying a new vehicle for a Mazda EV. An EV Miata or Mazda 3 would be an instant buy. I own two Mazdas.
I know most Mazda fans dont want to see an EV Miata but I do.
I am confused. When did he say we will see the Mazda 3 2025? This Spring 2024?
SPRING 2025?
The cx 70 is the cx 90 with 2 rows. I was told by Mazda sales rep who saw it. Makes no sense. 😢
What is the type you use on the thumbnail?
Wonder how long the EV market will continue to grow? Love our Mazda 2 diesel and doubt we'd ever buy an EV unless we are forced too.
What is that model from the thumbnail Mazda needs to make that !! Best looking Mazda to me!! Lone the more boxy aggressive front end and lights!!
With the cx90, cx50 and now the cx70 chassis... they need to bring back the b22OO. Should be the bx??(t) for two different engine variants. Pay me Mazda!
I would like to see a Mazda 3 turbo with 300 hp and AWD to replace my 2012 Mazdaspeed 3.
Mazda 6 with an inline 6 and RWD will crush all regular midsize sedans considering none of them are RWD and the Camry will no longer be offered with a 6 cylinder. However, if it will be marketed as a luxury car, it needs to be at least as powerful as the IS350 and TLX in order to be competitive.
If the CX-70 doesn’t have the same flaws of the CX-90 of the stiff ride and unrefined powertrain that doesn’t match the looks of the vehicle, it will be a great vehicle.
It will be the one of the very few 2-row six cylinder crossovers left now. Even 3 row, non-luxury six cylinder crossovers are scarce since the Highlander went to four cylinders. Really only Pilot, Telluride, Pallisade and not everyone wants 3 rows or the bulky size.
In Europe, CX-60 (the European version of the CX-70) has got some updates on the suspension (softer suspension) and some software updates on the transmission. I don't know if the updates completely eliminated the unrefinement of the transmission, but it should be better.
@@silimarina.I heard Europe didn’t like the CX-60 at launch. Have opinions changed since then?
@@faheemabbas3965 i don't know, but i see plenty of CX-60s on the roads
@@faheemabbas3965
A lot of them here in Poland and reviewers already said the new model year eliminated all of the problems. It was a new platform so they most likely just needed more feedback to test everything out.
The CX-90 has no flaws.
Really hoping for a coupe outside of the MX-5
Love Mazda that cx 70 looks great
Mazda has several platforms that could be used. Why aren't they developing a pickup like the Maverick or Ridgeline out of one of their SUVs?
Can the UK get a new hot hatch version of the Mazda 3 please! 🙏
