And their X-drive system is just amazing. I also thought the X5 was rated at 375 HP and was just a two row SUV. The X-7 is the seven seater.

Not accurate? As compared to what?

The great news is that the Inline 6 and the 8 speed transmission look to be a real winner. I do wonder what the real MPG turns out to be. As much as I am tempted by the PHEV, I am also thinking that this might be the last chance to buy and drive a gas powered inline 6 engine!

I live in South Carolina and I had no issue with the 2018 or 2021 CX-9 air conditioning. I will say, get cooled seats, which work great!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeFo71T-KpM Basically a very simple review that honestly shows the interior space between the two to be similar but the car choice comes down to what you want or desire. If you like driving, the new engine and drivetrain in the CX-90 is the choice. If you want a...

Because it primarily works with a manual transmission, which nobody in the US can use.

I agree. The PHEV will offer just enough range for me to get to and back from work without having to use any gas but have the capability to take a big road trip.

This review by savagegeese is exactly how I felt when driving the Telluride and Palisade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jljwgPS_ero&t=188s I can't wait for their review of the CX-90. From their comments, they really like the driving dynamics for the CX-90.

With all the Kia/ hyundai recalls, I am amazed anyone can recommend them.

Not sure what all the negativity is about. I find most reviews to be very positive. I also appreciate they did not make a huge Escalade type of monstrosity. The PHEV looks to be better than anticipated. I just wish it had the full interior as the Premium plus. Can't wait for the CX-70!

So that might mean that an aftermarket tune could increase the power on the standard engine.

These reports sound great! A PHEV with the room of a CX-9 could be the best of both worlds!

Yeah, that is huge plus as well. The 280 hp version and the 340 hp appear to be different enough to justify the price difference to me. I am really tempted by the CX-90 but really want the CX-70 - as I don't need the third row. And my head says wait a year for them to get the kinks worked out.

My post was about performance. How much difference is there between a 250 hp, 320 lb-ft car versus a car 300 lbs heavier and with 280 hp/, 332 b-ft? My hope is that while the "numbers" will be similar, the ride feel and refinement will be greater.

Well, these are the new reviews for the diesel and they don't sound much better. The engine seems fantastic but let down by the chassis. These lines: "There’s a cheapness to proceedings. The back axle also lacks the control and precision that you get from the Germans, which perhaps sounds a...

Yes, this is only for the 2.5T. Personally, I am at a crossroads with Mazda. These engine issues are a worry that I do not want.

I did that and took pictures of the stick right after the oil change (less than 25 miles) at 1500 miles, at 3000 miles and at 4500 miles. I did this on multiple oil change and posted the pictures here. For the most part, the oil remained rock steady up to 3000 miles. At 4500 it was close to the...

Agreed.

So the new CX-90 is anywhere from 300-500 lbs heavier than the CX-9. That might make the overall performance of the "regular" inline 6 similar to the current CX-9 on premium.

The 2021 2.5T engine - in multiple models - had oil burning issues that in most cases, were a quart of oil over 5000 miles. I had a 2018 CX-9, which burned no oil. I have had multiple non turbo 2.5 engines in multiple Mazda's and none of them burned oil. To my knowledge, only the 2021 model...
