Episode description

What if turbocharged engines aren't built to last? We tackle this intriguing question as we dissect the 2025 Mazda CX-90, especially the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus model. Marvel at its sleek design, from its conservative front grille to the alluring chrome accents, but don't miss our candid take on its less-than-stellar infotainment system. With a robust 340 horsepower under the hood, this SUV doesn't skimp on power, but how does it stack up against rivals like the Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, and Toyota Grand Highlander? We also sprinkle in a fascinating historical tidbit about a 1938 Mercedes-Benz that hit a jaw-dropping 269 miles per hour, adding a touch of nostalgia to our automotive exploration.

Join us as we shift gears to examine a luxury SUV powered by a formidable 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. This vehicle makes a bold statement with 450 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, redefining the move away from traditional V8 engines. We dive into its nine-speed automatic transmission and impressive 8,500-pound towing capacity, alongside its electronic air suspension for a ride that defines comfort. With starting prices at $82,450, and as tested for $107,215, we'll help you weigh its value against competitors like the Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Cadillac Escalade. This episode is packed with insights for anyone on the hunt for a high-end SUV that doesn't compromise on luxury or power.
