Great info!

That's the important part.

Good point! Althought it would be much cheaper for Mazda to make bench seats optional on CX-90 than marketing a whole new model.

@@MattTheCarguy I would assume so. I don’t understand why so many car manufacturers are refusing to offer a second row bench on their top trims. The Grand Highlander offers relatively comfortable third row accommodations. But why would I buy such a large vehicle and not benefit from all the seating space I can get?

@@bill7481 i get it however i am in a different situation for now with 2 child seats in the middle row seats. I need to have the "pass through" to get to the third row, unless its 40/20/40 in the back where i can fold down the middle part.

@@MattTheCarguy That’s a valid point. So, offering the bench as an option on the top trims would be a sensible solution.

You can put that as down payment.

I wish i had it for longer time but for the short time i had it seemed fine.

You can get a different trim.

Crazy right? Yukon is their large SUV.

@@MattTheCarguy I had a hard time adjusting to the size of the new Pathfinder! I’m amazed at people driving these large vehicles!

Thank you! I figured it out later in this video. Makes no sense.

Definitely K5 is more interesting option.

Thats the best part!

I dont sell cars but that seems like a lot.

It is expensive.

@MattTheCarguy It's a stripped-down, re-badged power wagon made in Mexico, I own a 2024 with 1306 miles and already a check engine light, bad egr, and it tows less then a 2022 chevy 1500 sharrod custom with only a 5.3 in it. It's called instant regret. So, price wise, it's not as bad as my 2023 power wagon, same motor, same as pretty much everything except lockers, and oddly, same exact front end, but mileage per power...sad. Ya, NO was the best right answer.

Thanks for the content!

Its a software settings that is not enabled on Mazda infotainment. Such a shame. I bet someone already figured out how to enable it.

After owning Mazda for three years, you will see the control knob is a significant advantage of this car. It comes with many shortcut buttons like map and music, which you will need every time you drive, and it’s a touch screen while in apple CarPlay(l never used a touch screen cause the control knobs are a better way to function the center screen), the control knob is my favorite part about Mazda

Bench seat may be a good reason, but to make a new model for it? Why not have an option for the bench seat in Cx-90 and offer a front trim as a Sport Package or something. Would save a lot on marketing a new model.

Exactly, also The CX-70 has a way better-looking 21-inch wheels

I am totally with you on reason #1. I am currently in this situation. I am thinking of a replacement for my 2019 CX-9 Signature, but the CX-90 doesn’t offer a second row bench in the top trims.

The CHR is discontinued in US. I think it may be the same platform.

Thank you! Honestly i dont my sunroof either, i dont care that its there and we never had an issue with it.

You are welcome. Most likely thats what you'll get. If you lucky you may get the new model with large screens.

I'm considering the CX-70 for the same reason you do. I'll have to go test drive one soon, but do you believe the cargo area is big enough for two small dogs (pugs) + 1 large piece of luggage?

@@sandroscielzo9964 The cargo area is HUGE! It should accommodate two small dogs and even more than 1 large piece of luggage. The Cargo Volume on the CX70 alone is over 40 cubic feet of storage space behind the second row seats and significantly more with the second row seats folded down.

Very strange placement and look of the "storage holders" what would you store there? Cups?

@@MattTheCarguy If you put a drink there, it will fall over. It's not deep, nor round to accommodate a drink or cup. I have no need to use them personally, so I haven't attempted to put anything there.

you are correct, I just looked at my CX-90 video and those were round, so they use the same mold for the bottom and put some useless holders in a place where no one reaches. Love the car, but few things just don't make sense.

Good point. We have a 5 year old Honda Pilot and all the shiny parts are showing signs of wear. Solution? Trade it in before it becomes an issue 🤣

My pleasure! Thank you for watching! I am hoping to film convertible next week.

@@MattTheCarguy Perfect! On another note, will you be reviewing the s class 63 E (AMG)? Would love to see it

​@@sweetee77so funny thing happen today. My dealership had 2 CLE cabriolets, one top was stuck in open position, second, screens were frozen. Must have been made on Monday 😢

@@MattTheCarguy😂😂 these things happen! Personally, I don’t like cabriolets anyway. I am hoping to purchase the cle450 soon

Very nice! Enjoy your new ride!

Congratulations! Enjoy your new car!

Oh, you got them earlier in Canada. How do you like it so far?

@@MattTheCarguy really satisfied 🥰

Nice design

That would be a nice option to have. Especially in dark rural areas.

I am with you on this. I don’t know why car manufacturers are leaving out fog lights. They are not just a matter of function; they do a lot for the visual appeal of any vehicle. And I don’t want them in the headlight assembly; I want them separate, low in the bumper for maximum visual effect.

I was hoping for more room in the back as well but all they did is remove third row seat. Still, nice SUV.

Thank you as always. You must have a huuuge garage lol.

You won't be dissapointed!

Thank you very much and congratulations on your new vehicle.

On a hybrid unfortunately there is no room for spare as that's where the battery is. Unless of course you just keep it in the cargo area.

CRV or RAV4 Hybrid?

Good tip! Thanks!

Good choice. Congratulations!

I was just looking on Japanese website and could not even find a Camry there. They have Corolla, Crown and Mirai in their sedan section.

Thank you!

Thanks for the comment. I guess I am a bit confused trying to figure out if you like it or not, lol. Of course if you compare it to the Stinger the K5 is a hog, also costs you 1000's less and uses regular gas. Early K5 are coming from Korea but from what I heard later it will be made in West Point, Georgia. Also, are you calculating the cost of a vehicle including interest in 43K? Otherwise you probably overpaid as the GT-line AWD with GT-Line premium package and destination lists at $32745, if you add 10% for taxes and fees you are jsut over 36K which is very competitive in the segment. We can only compare it to what else is out there. Thanks again for the commebt and enjoy your new K5!

@@MattTheCarguy Matt your welcome. My K5 just got off of the boat in Tacoma Washington Port of Entry. I was talking about my Big Truck being a gas hog that’s why we got rid of it and purchased the K5. There is no comparison between K5 to a Stinger no way. I was talking about the investment that you will have to make to own this car, This K5 GT-line AWD (Not Premium Package) is $29,775.00 Inland Freight and Handling $1155.00, with the MSRP+TAX+TITLE+INTEREST @8% that’s with perfect credit + $2200 for extended 10 yr 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty (Kia’s 10yr 100,000 mile warranty is for the Powertrain only) is for 5 years or 30,000 on everything else = This car will cost $43,060.96 at least that’s what is on my contract if I went with 72-84 months of payments and I will not. I was talking about the “GT” it has no business being on this small sedan. “GT” is so overused on todays cars and that’s too bad.

@@cyndim8785 Unfortunately the interest is really high now if there is no subsidized financing. warranty sounds about right if you chose to go this route. Everything is expensive. Hopefully something will change next year.

Good choice. Thanks for watching!

You bought one? I like High Altitude trim.

@@MattTheCarguy Not yet. But I'm planning on getting one.

That's awesome! They will look great together. I wish you could attach photos to comments.

That's why we have choices. Some people like stuff that others don't.

@@MattTheCarguy I'm not blaming any particular customer. I'm blaming the OEMs and their despicable design trends like piano black, fake exhaust, capacitive touch, and passenger displays. Not only is the design suffering, but the functionality and ergonomics are suffering. If any particular individual wants a passenger display, fine. But they have no place in Mercedes and Porsche - go buy a hyundai. With the exception of the W223 S class and W214 E Class, Mercedes' current lineup is significantly lower quality than last generation in terms of materials. Mercedes killed the S-coupe, E-coupe, CLS, GT 4-door. If Mercedes is struggling to maintain its interior quality and model range because of mandatory R&D on electric vehicles, it shouldn't be wasting any money on these useless displays. Mercedes' head product planner even admitted in an interview that the current models use cheaper materials because they set up their current supply chain during the pandemic when they erroneously thought demand for premium cars would decrease. :(

On higher models the quality is still there. C and below i agree they have gone down. I worked for Mercedes dealership for several years and we always had trouble getting rid of s coupes and cabrios, they were not selling very well, same thing with any coupe. Now they combined the C and E coupes into a CLE and thats not bad. As far as EVs i think they are switching course now as these are sitting on their lots no matter how many incentives they throw out there. Speaking with some contacts on the inside i know they are working on some new ice engines as well.

@@MattTheCarguy yep! Agree. I drive an c238 E-coupe and would love an S coupe. I get that they are not popular cars but it’s still a shame. The CLE looks great but the interior being ripped from the C class is a dealbreaker. It’s exclusively hard-touch plastics and fake wood and metal. I’m really disappointed in the current C class. If they were going to combine the C and E coupes/cabs and cancel the S, the CLE should have a bespoke interior, or at least the E class interior. I know that the customers bullied Mercedes into putting the V8 into the CLE63 by boycotting the 4cyl c63, but I still wont buy a $100k car with a C class interior. All manufacturers are walking back their EV plans. Anyway, glad to hear they are spending time and money on new ICE, but I’d like them to ditch the bad stuff inside for each car’s respective facelift. For example, I’m holding out that they might get rid of the off-the-shelf capacitive touch controls and piano black plastic seat control modules. My point was that they already made the mistake of allocating too much budget into EVs which didn’t pay off - the quality of all their cars are suffering. I’m just happy to see the E class got soft-touch everywhere. I might consider an E wagon or S class after the facelift. Otherwise, I’ll probably get an 8-series next. The GLE and GLS, despite having come out close to the 206 C and w223 S were the latest to receive the prior-gen designs, so they don’t count.

Estimated 359 miles in range. Where are you finding 200?

@@MattTheCarguy on the Dashboard in the video(unless i am really blind 😂😂😂)

@@edsoto7 you are right. The computer calculates the range based on "current" mpgs so if its sitting and idling its burning gas without putting any miles so it probably shows 5-10 mpg and with 18.5 gallon tank it will calculate up to 185 miles. The real mileage is not great but its not that bad lol. 16mpg is average. Up to 20.

What SUV has the V8?

@@MattTheCarguy thanks for answering. I am really struggling here because the interior is just dated and no AWD. I don't know if I should go with the BMW M340i or an Audi etc within the 50 to 65k price range

⁠@@echoalpha9157I cross shopped the m340i, it’s a nice car, interior quality is very nice too. I just fell in love with the high revving v8 so I overlooked the dated interior. The exterior styling imo is nicer than the m340i. The m340i is certainly quicker off the line, but I don’t really care about 0-60 times, it’s quick enough for me as a daily driver. Best of luck on whatever you purchase!

me too, they definitely have the technology although I was hoping they were going to build on their hydrogen technology rather than electric.

@@MattTheCarguy I too was hoping for hydrogen. Would be good for long trips I think.

Great info! Thanks.

True, especially in the winter when its bearable 😄

But has enough power to make it fly. 🤣

Not as standard equipment this year.

That is strange. Is there one on the side of the console?

Strange, indeed.
