Year 2 CX-90 changes?

[dougal]

I know the CX-90 is not even a year old, but I have decided to wait for the year 2 model to purchase. What are people thinking will either be added, changed, modified or fixed in the year two model?

I am hoping they will add remote start on the key fob. And an updated key fob would be nice. The Telluride didn’t have remote start in the first year, but then they added it to all trims for the second year. So one can only hope

I would like the top of the line PHEV to come with the same interior as the top Turbo S. And drop the 280 HP engine.

I would also like the option to turn off the engine noise in the cabin or have it only there in sport mode.

Yes, it doesn’t make any sense that you get penalized for getting the premium PHEV over the Turbo S. Mazda is already at a severe disadvantage with the CX-90 not qualifying for the US EV credit. You think they would be offering more features on the PHEV, not less.

Read my comments on Remote Start via $600 cell phone App ONLY! Not on fob. Be careful. Mazda money making scam.

Massaging seats. All luxury cars have them. The top of the line CX-90 needs to have them.

The ability to unlock the car on all 4 doors vs. just the 2 front doors.

Have a cargo cover designed for the center row bucket seats. Currently only offering a cargo cover designed for bench seats.

Have a bench seat option in some of the higher trims or at least up to include the Turbo trims not necessarily the Turbo S trim.

What does the CX-90 currently have for ambient lighting? Maybe they could add colour-customizable ambient lighting?

- The matrix LED headlights that are available on the European CX60
- The bench seat spec. issue figured out (not available on upper trims) seems to be deterring folks away from the vehicle. I like the captain chairs but get why others want the bench.
- The transmission issues figured out
- Dark, real wood trim in the tan colour interior option
- Tweak the sunroof design so it opens more
- Make the digital rear view mirror standard in top trim spec. with modest increase in cost of vehicle
- Full touch screen all the time so people would stop complaining about it
- More customizable gauges
- Change in shifter operation so it makes a bit more sense to everyone
- Change the remote start system so it doesn't turn the car off when you first open a door

Some of these are probably easier tweaks than others.

I would hope that they can make the center console be touch screen. That is standard on much less expensive vehicles these days. I am getting used to the knob, but.. come on. Even my wife's 3-year old Mini Cooper has touch screen.

It already is touch screen with Apple carplay and android auto. The feature is disabled when using the Mazda interface.

So i guess your wish has been 50% granted

For all you complaining about Apple CarPlay android auto only touchscreen realize that by just using the dial you don’t have to worry about constantly cleaning the touchscreen. It’s the whole reason why BMW went that were out because you don’t have to worry about fingerprints, nor having to constantly move screens around, versus a simple dial, which is much safer in long run.

I’m a simple guy, so just 2nd-row bench seats for the highest trims. At least, offer it as an option.
