    CX-5 to be 86ed for CX-40?!

    I thought Mazda made a CX-4 for China?

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    So, with the 2025 CX90 just being the 2024 CX90 with some fixes, what do people expect in the 2026 Cx90? What I would like: Make it quieter - tire and wind noise is too high. Cooled rear seats in CX70. Heated steering wheel - that goes all around. Better autonomous driving tech. Highest level...

    American's also want drugs but that does not mean they should get them!

    Anyone have a 2025 CX-90? Impressions?

    There are actually none physically at my dealer. All in transit.

    CX-70 Driving Impressions

    50 PSI is way too high. I would adjust that ASAP. I personally have found that with all my Mazda vehicles, and we have a lot, their gas mileage gets much better after 3-4K miles (after the first oil change). With that said, driving a car from cold, only 10-12 miles, in the city, and never...

    Mazda Second Best-Ever Month in U.S. Sales History

    Mazda is doing great and all those people complaining about the size of the CX70/CX90 might not be buying them, but a whole lot of other people are!

    2025 Mazda CX-70 Road Review and Trail Test 👍

    It is safe to assume that the yr 2 CX-90 has many of these some refinements. This car should be close to perfect in yr3.

    No, only certain trims.

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    So the answer is not much of anything. Might need to wait till 2026.

    Is the CX-90 Really that Bad? Owner Feedback?

    On fb and CX90 forums, the negative posts have taken a sharp decline. The early models had issues and I think the PHEV has more issues than the inline 6 but overall, I think they have improved things. The CX-70 looks to have addressed lots of the bugs. Me, I would still wait till the 2025 model...

    Be glad you have a CX-5

    The issue with that is that out the door, it is close to 75K, when you get the features the CX-70/90 has. If 15K is not an issue, I would skip that and get a BMW PHEV or the Mercedes.

    Be glad you have a CX-5

    They have addressed many of the QC issues that plagued the early versions of the CX90.

    Be glad you have a CX-5

    Meh. Not only is that just one random guy on YouTube but that video is a year old and most of the issues with the CX90 have been addressed and the CX70 is much improved. If you have a CX-5, like I do, enjoy it. If you have a CX70/CX90, enjoy it as well as it looks like a great car.

    That looks really nice!

    CX-70 Driving event for reviewers in May

    Straightpipes review gave the impression that everything was "fixed" but maybe it is not. These are the same issues that have plagued the CX-60 since it was released over 2+ years ago. Something seems off with the new RWD architecture.

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    Well, 0.80 for GH and 0.85 for the Mazda. The hybrid is fast - no question about that.

    Year 2 CX-90 changes?

    Like this: https://www.caranddriver.com/toyota/grand-highlander-hybrid and this https://www.caranddriver.com/mazda/cx-90 What I found surprising is that the CX90 has much better highway MPG.

    Dealer $$ Cost CX-5

    The CX-9 GT was ~45K. You got it for 37K? That is unbelievable! To the OP, tell the dealers what you want to pay and wait for one to bite. They are not your friend. It is a business deal.

    Level 2 Charging experience (CX-90 PHEV)

    That is the way to do it and this is the perfect car for your situation. The PHEV is the vehicle that would fit my situation as well and I need to purchase my next car with my brain and not my heart (which wants the inline 6).
