Mazda CX-90 comes in a choice of three models. The Touring, GT and Azami On top of that there are two option packs which have either tan or white leather interiors.

Each model comes with a choice of a 3.3 litre straight six petrol or diesel engine that has mild hybrid technology.

All come with the same 8 speed automatic transmission and all wheel drive for when roads get wet or slippery.

I’ve driven both the petrol and diesel engines. Both have plenty of performance. The diesel is more economical and perhaps better suited for those that take longer drives. I found myself thinking that a full hybrid especially in petrol form would be better for urban driving.

Buyers of the entry level Touring model won’t be disappointed as they come well equipped.

One feature I haven’t mentioned yet is that the CX-90 is also fitted with Mazda’s Driver Personalisation System, which automatically adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel and cockpit setup to the ideal position for each driver.

Pricing for the CX-90 ranges from $69,300 through to around $90,000 dollars plus the usual costs.

Overall the Mazda CX-90 is a safe, comfortable and spacious SUV that provides a level of comfort for new mums. Mazda CX-90 is mum and bub approved.

First up the CX-90 we had is the top models with the optional white leather and more. So, as you would expect its packed with comfort and luxury features.

As you open the door first impressions are good. Front seats are particularly comfortable and supportive, with both heating and ventilation.

Driving position is relaxing and there is plenty of room for both front and middle row occupants.

Both the drivers’ instruments and central screen are clear and easy to read.

Im not a fan of the rotary control dial for the central screen. It takes my focus away from the road to move through the menus. A full touch screen is so much easier.

One feature I appreciate is the see through monitor. It allows a clear view all around and underneath the vehicle. The icon also allows you to position your vehicle with ease.

As you would expect there is a long list of three letter safety features that keep occupants cocooned.

The CX-90 is fitted with Mazda’s Driver Personalisation System. This adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel and cockpit setup to the ideal position for each driver. Handy if you are swapping drivers.

\Next week we will chat about models and engine choices and pricing

The post Mazda CX-90 Azami week two with baby duties. appeared first on Motoring Minute.

As such it ticks the boxes for a new mum car.

To be specific we had the CX-90 B 8A G50E AZAMI TAKUMI AWD. This included the optional package with all white leather – perhaps not the best for babies, and captains’ seats in the middle row.

Wide opening doors allowed easy access for placing bub in the baby seat. Installing the baby seat is easy with isofix and top tether points. There is still plenty of room for the front seat passenger. Zoned air conditioning allows drivers to tailor the airflow to the back for more comfort.

Third row seats are for two smaller people only and access is tight. Using them also restricts boot space and packing  a pram and other gear becomes more difficult. As a four or five seat SUV its excellent.

Being the top model Mazda has every luxury, comfort, and safety feature in there that you could ask for. That’s comforting for families.

Next week we will chat about safety and engine choices.

The post Mazda CX-90 Azami . The big Mazda on baby duties week 1 appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The CX-90 is big. To gain a perspective of its size its some 19 cm longer in wheelbase than the CX-9.  That’s a lot.

The new Mazda comes in three grades and with a choice of inline 6 cylinder 3.3L mild hybrid petrol or diesel engines. Pricing is from $74,400 through to a hefty $94,500 dollars plus the usual costs.

We drove the mid spec GT model with the petrol engine.

It is stylish, has presence and spacious inside.

The overall ambience is definitely premium with luxury touches everywhere. Seats are supportive and comfortable; drivers positioning is particularly good and there is room for the family behind.

The six-cylinder petrol engine provides plenty of performance and the dynamic handling is what you would expect of a premium SUV. However, the ride is a little harsh on country roads. This is a little disappointing given how good the CX-9 is.

It will be interesting to see if buyers will favour the big Mazda against the likes of a Genesis or Audi.

The First-Ever Mazda CX-90 introduces a three-row seating configuration at the very top end of the Mazda models.

It will come in three models, the of Touring, GT and Azami. All come with a choice of either a turbocharged, inline-six cylinder petrol or diesel engine, both of which employ 48-volt M Hybrid Boost MHEV technology

Both engines come with Mazda’s Skyactiv-Drive eight-speed automatic transmission (developed without a torque converter and transmitting torque directly), which sends drive to all four wheels via full-time i-Activ All-Wheel Drive – a rear-biased drive system that balances engaging and adventurous driving characteristics.

The CX-90 comes with four different switchable driving modes, ranging from Normal, Sport, Off-Road and Towing
