@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 that’s somewhat true but Mazda is one of the smaller car brands. They don’t have the engineering budget as the others. Not an excuse but it is a factor.
It’s depends on if it does well. There’s too many people in the comments who either don’t want kids saying they don’t need the third row (and are waiting for CX-70), or just want a two row which I understand. So I don’t know. Just hope this thing does well enough so Mazda will bother putting it in a sedan.
@@keynesianeconomics4113 Right. The only way they could get away with creating a RWD vehicle for performance at a reasonable price would be a large sedan or couple like the germans built on their Large vehicle architecture.
Def would prefer this over Hyundai's Genesis SUVs simply cuz of their track record in reliability. But also who knows, how the i-6 will perform I mean it's Japanese and it's a Mazda..
It would be cool if they put this engine in a Rx-8 like car and twin turbo’d it. That would be a legit sports car with some serious performance. Cause this I6 sounds really good and it sounds like it belongs in a sports car
@@hakaishinkage9899 not really, add another turbo you’ll get a tad over 400HP in a vehicle that’s around the same weight as a Toyota Supra or a Nissan Z.
The Mazda piston engines always lack a tiny bit of excitement in their character, but I feel like they make up for it with insane reliability, good efficiency, and a great power band for daily driving.
Funny.. right back in a circle to all the manufacturers going back to the best alignment for internal combustion engines, the legendary naturally balanced in-line six!
So I guess that's the cheapest way to get yourself into a Turbo S. Albeit not being from Germany 😂. Great car though, Mazda's come a long way. I love the interior, so classy and refined 👌. I hope they'll bring this particular engine in a sedan version in the near future.
What He explained was brake vectoring 😅. Kinematic posture control uses the inside rear brake to add a negligible amount of brake torque to that wheel, using the anti-dive suspension geometry to pull that corner down. Basically, kind of like an active sway/anti roll bar. Honestly, it's impressive how Mazda can do some fine control with GVC and KPC.
3:18 That big piece of plastic can be removed with the latches on either side. It doesn't just come off like most other engine covers, it actually opens up like another hood and can be suspended from the real hood with a strap.
I’ve heard a lot of people saying that this car isn’t special and that they’d go for a Telluride, Palisade or Pilot over this. The CX-90 has the first Japanese-made inline 6 in 20 years, since the RB and 2JZ I think. 24 mpg city and 28 mpg highway on AWD standard thanks to it being a mild hybrid. It’s gonna be pricey despite starting at $40k USD, but if you can get over that, and go for the lower trims it’s a great SUV for enthusiasts imo. I just hope it doesn’t disappoint when I drive one. Although it seems to everyone in the comments section that this car only exists to be an engine demo lol, nothing but I6 sedan talk.
Yeah, it’s called a model year. It basically marks how long this particular model is going to be produced before any update comes out whether that be new features, facelift or a new model altogether.
Now I REALLY want a new RWD Mazda6 with this powertrain...imagine this engine powering a sport sedan with a lower center of gravity and almost 1000 pounds lighter (if the weight difference between the CX-9 and Mazda6 was any indication)... 🤤
Mazda has some of the best red colors on the market in my opinion. The CX5 has a gorgeous red color as well. I'm not a huge Mazda fan, but I'm becoming more of one. The styling is really classy and the interior is actually really nice too. The only thing is the rear looks a bit like a minivan, as you pointed out being more "bulbous" but that's the only asepct that doesn't personally appeal to me. Nice to see they went with an inline 6 instad of a V6 or just a basic turbo 4 cylinder.
It may have a big ass, but that’s what allows the headroom for the 3rd row to be useful. I don’t want or need a 3rd row, so I’m jazzed for the upcoming CX-70.
@@davidrector1450 a big ass 🤣 ... I get why it looks that way. And only 20 years ago this would've just been an actual minivan, so can't complain too much I guess.
The interior is amazing and so is the exterior styling. Love Mazda designs, but what I've been hearing about the new CX-90 is that it also has a small electric motor for stop- start driving in the city. So when you pull up at a stop light, it shuts off the engine and then the electric motor kicks in when you get the green light but it's sluggish until the inline 6 is started again and the electric motor hand over to the inline 6.
@@cyanprince00 S means "bigger" engine, although it's the same size this time vs the Turbo. Like how the regular Mazda3 always had an S for as long as we can remember
As a current Mazda CX9 owner, frankly speaking CX90 is comprehensively improved, but only 2 Negatives points stopped my upgrade plan. 1: The second row headroom space is more narrow than CX9. 2: 8AT transmission shifting gears is frustrating than CX9 6AT, especially 1-2-3. Slower gear changes than CX9 6AT as well. Hopefully Mazda could hear about this and improve it.
Re: Charlie KPC: KPC actually only brakes the rear and its only purpose is to reduce body roll. Only possible if you design a multi-link rear a certain way and these braking forces are not high enough for what you said it does. There's another system, "G-Vectoring Control" for that purpose on the brakes (GVC also reduces engine torque during turns).
yes, both of them blew the explanation of KPC. I would prefer that they simply said that they didn't know instead of confusing it with GVC. Tedward explained it right in his video and I am sure Chris (the real Topher) would have explained it right also.
Yes it’s sad, sounds like Toyota is going to their 4 cylinder in the new Grand Highlander and the new 4Runner if it ever comes out. Its a good engine but certain size vehicles just need the 6. You know Toyota started out making sewing machines many years ago. Who would ever think they would be powering their vehicles with them.
This CX-90 is BEAUTIFUL. Now I hope they do something radical like stuff that I6 into the Mazda 3 sedan - MAKE it fit - and give it a sequental-shifting F1/SMG style transmission.
Incredibly stunning car. Too bad we won't get that in Germany. Not like I could afford it but still too bad to not be able to see this stunning design on our roads.
Cx90 starts at $41k. If they offered a sedan for the same price or cheaper (starting), it would be the affordable 6 cylinder, rwd sports sedan of legend.
The leather color combo is spot on, I want Mazda to make a competitor product to the Hyundai Ionic 5 / Kia EV6. I feel like those are going to be extremely popular and Mazda needs to get into that same segment with their handling and performance characteristics, something that I don't think Hyundai does well.
It doesn't chime eight times to remind you you're in a Mazda. It's reminding you to put on your seatbelt. Do so before ignition, no chimes. During chimes and no more chimes. Meat popsicle.
@Hou7226 how?? Not eveything has to be a turbo 4. There are very few actual hot hatches out on the market today. A mazda hatch with that engine and power would be perfect, and sell like crazy.
The all-new, 2024 Mazda CX-90 AWD MHEV crossover just arrived in California a while ago. But, most of these vehicles will arrive in dealerships all over the United States and in Canada in the months to come.
I recently bought a used volvo S60 T6 (2012)... that's back when T6 meant it had an inline 6 with a turbo under the hood. I believe volvo is the only brand to put one of these in transverse. I love the smooth power delivery and vibration-free low-rpm idle. I'm really excited to see Mazda go for an inline 6. While packaging can be a challenge, the naturally balanced i6 doesn't need any balance shafts. The number of hard parts is probably not much different than a 4 cylinder all things considered.
That interior is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait for the CX-70!
I must say the interior is pretty nice. Would love to test drive one.
