Very nice styling and sounds like an interesting new engine with the turbo.

[speedog]

Dunno, still has that awkward Mazda front end.

[NoPulp]

+1 on awkward front end. They need to stop using that front styling immediately, the extruded grill doesn't work on any of their vehicles.

Do like the interior styling.

Looks very nice not sure about sexiest..

It's a Mazda. After 1 year of ownership it will be rusted out.

XC90 is probably one of the best 7 seaters out right now. We checked one out last weekend and the new Volvo design language is awesome.

Looks very Lexus/Toyota to me minus the grille shape.

It looks good, the Mazda styling language works well here. the interior is awesome.

However, no V6=No sale for me. I don't care how much power a boosted 4 makes, in a 7 seater SUV it'll be in boost all the time drinking fuel like a F150 ecoboost.

There are way better looking SUVs out there IMO. Mazda build quality/rust and all their "Skyactiv" BS has always turned me off. Even though it has a turbo I also agree the engine is a bit small, it's going to be working overtime to move that thing.

[Disoblige]

I'd take a Supercharged V6 for an SUV, or better yet, Turbodiesel!

[Kloubek]

It's about time they updated the interior. In the last model, they carried over the same interior that I have in my 2007. And don't get me wrong... it's a very well designed interior. For 2007.

As for the exterior, I like it overall, but would stop short of calling it "sexiest".

That's a sharping looking ride. I thought it was Infiniti at first.

Agreed and the XC60 is pretty nice looking for a smaller SUV

I owned a brand new 2015 for a short while, it was nice, r package loaded, black. it had great showroom appeal but I got rid of it almost immediately, it felt like I was borrowing my moms car!

Lr4 or X5 gets my vote for 7 rider.

It isn't bad, but the Cayenne, MDX and Q7 are all much better looking that this IMO

The new Suburban is also pretty good looking in a MIB kind of way

Yeah but this mazda is like half the price.

This class without the luxury badge tends to top out at $45K. So a base MDX would be closet in price at $52K.

227hp seems pretty low on regular gas.
