Mazda CX-90 First Drive Event
- Thread starter hoodlum
- Start date
Interesting, thanks for posting. I thought the first drive event with all the journalists will be towards the end of March. Curious if this is an actual drive event or just the first batches of cars coming from Japan. If it is a drive event, curious how long the driving impressions embargo will last.
This drive event was for the local dealers. Mazda will be doing this throughout the US over the next couple of weeks. I believe the journalists test drives are still planned for later this month.
Yes, that is the turbo to the left of the engine. With the 2.5l the turbo was behind the engine which pushed it further into the engine bay.

Emergency eject? Trailer breaking?

I took a look at all the pictures from the original release event where they showed the vehicle and that thing wasn't in it so I am guessing it's trailer brake controller.

Interestingly, it appears to have an air-to-water intercooler. The intake pipe comes off the turbo and runs across the top of the engine. If the intercooler was an air-to-air setup this would not make any sense as the intercooler would be in front of the radiator, mounted down low most likely.
The Mazda parts website seems to confirm this. The CX-90 is up on the parts finders. There are water hoses associated with the intercooler.

The nine-ish trim levels aren't programmed into the Mazda parts website yet. The only trim level available for the 2024 CX-90 on the Mazda parts website is "WIDE WAGON"....

I see on the ride and drive event videos/pictures that this is indeed a trailer brake controller

The interior looks orange in that lighting! Love the dark chrome and dark wood on the interior.
Also, I didn't know about the non-chrome inline6 badge on the detuned versions either! I wish they would get rid of it altogether, can't say I like either of those badges at all. It looks cheap, and doesn't align with the upmarket they are going for, in my opinion.
Exciting stuff!

I have to agree, I'd prefer if they just had a badge on the liftgate. Or even better, if they integrated the badge into the rearmost corner of the 3rd row windows.
