Today on The Straight Pipes, we delve into the 2025 Mazda CX90, a family car fit for a king, or in this case, Yuri and his expanding brood. With two kids and a dog in tow, the necessity of a three-row setup becomes paramount. The CX90 boasts a 360 camera, Captain's chairs for easy access, and a trunk spacious enough to accommodate a stroller, setting it apart from its competition like the Toyota Grand Highlander and Hyundai Palisade.
Yuri marvels at the practicality of the rear-facing and convertible seats, allowing for seamless transitions between rows. The absence of a rear-view monitor and entertainment screens in the back row is noted, but the built-in baby Shades and expansive moonroof add a touch of luxury. While sliding doors may be absent, the touch to open and lock features provide a modern twist to the CX90's functionality.
However, not all is perfect in the realm of Mazda. The remote start feature, though promising, falls short with subscription-based limitations and technical glitches. Despite this, the front seats offer comfort and convenience, with hard button climate controls and a user-friendly infotainment system featuring wired or wireless CarPlay. The Straight Pipes' review of the Mazda CX90 showcases a family car that strikes a balance between practicality and luxury, catering to the needs of modern parents on the road.
