2024 Mazda CX-90

[ekrampitzjr]

The Mazda straight-six is derived from the Skyactiv straight-four. It is not from another automaker.

The new transmissions (there are two distinct series in the CX-90) are set up for rear-drive and have 8 speeds, but they are Mazda designs and not ZF units as some people seem to think they are.

It’s a brand new engine.

Unicorn for any automaker. (NEW) ICE engine development has pretty much shuttered.

I'm holding out for the cx70. The cx90 won't fit in my side of the garage.

That CX70 will have the same power trains as the 90 but in a shorter body. I think it will push the CX5 out of the top sales spot.

I've seen one on the road yesterday. Remindsd me of a slightly shorter Amada.

I doubt they're doing it but how much of a mistake would bringing the BT-50 to North America be? Trucks have gone luxury and Mazda is pushing to be a more premium brand. On the other hand, there's a lot of competition and they can't take too many chances.

It’s a crowded market. I’m not sure the design would appeal to the tastes of Americans that want their pickup trucks to look like Peterbilts.

The Mazda BT-50 is a rebadged Isuzu pickup assembled in Thailand.

Maybe they're getting the engines from Mercedes. Lexus did at one point.

Which Lexus used a Mercedes engine, and which engine was it?

It was the turbo 4 2.0 DI, but I don't know the model or even if it was in the US. I ran across the info while researching that engine.

I wonder what the starting price will be.

Dave Coleman just released a Motoman video where he talks about the mechanicals of the CX-90 including the new Kinematic Posture Control system.

I saw on YouTube body panel gaps were extraordinary. Sounded well constructed

The robots do their jobs well.

I believe the plan is to use that new straight six in the new upscale Mazda6.

I believe that as well along with the new CX-70 due out shortly.

Thanks for posting this. Great description of the CX-90. I watched another video as well and decided I liked the channel and the presentations.

The main character George is a bit goofy but he knows his stuff. Dave Coleman of course is an expert. The best videos are when they are on together.

For me, Motoman and Autogefühl are a couple of the best YouTube channels out there in the automotive sense.

At least the transmission, if it fails, won't be too expensive to replace:

About a week.ago I saw a CX-90 for the first time. It looked very nice.

I guess they're still quite rare here.

Mazda dealer offered $5k off msrp on CX9.... which is tempting for a gas guzzler

I wonder how long before issues are reported on the cx90... Since my workhorse is ol' and tired, I can wait or take the '9 and know what to expect over the next decade.
