This whip is phenomenal all around. Spacious, high tech, luxurious, fun to drive BUT you aren’t over paying for a brand name while still receiving the value you get with some of the BMW, Audi brands. The new turbocharged 3.3-l;iter inline-six engine pumps out an impressive 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid boost helps step the CX- 90 into the modern world while helping with a solid 23/28 MPG, given the size of the CX-90. The drive, while stylish and high-end behind the wheel, is still peppy and sporty when behind the wheel. Mazda has really blending function with style and luxury quite nicely. The real show stopper is the fully loaded $61,920 price tag. You’re getting BMW vibes for a steal of the Mazda life. This whip is dope….and yes, it is a Mazda but you should really consider it!
