I Drove the 2025 Mazda CX90 & 2025 Ford Explorer, Which One is Best? Here's My Brutally Honest Review
I was stunned to see that on paper, the Mazda CX-90 and Ford Explorer were so close in so many ways. While they both sport different powertrains and different performance numbers, they are remarkably competitive in terms of measurements, features, utility, and even pricing. Still, they cater to very different audiences and have completely different personalities.

After driving both vehicles within days of each other, I came to a simple conclusion: despite their similarities, they are very different vehicles. I was able to take both vehicles on a similar route, which included a 200-mile loop from Torrance to Santa Barbara, CA, in addition to other test drives. Without a doubt, these two vehicles represent some of the best options in this class. The question is: which one is best for you?
The Mazda CX-90 recently replaced the well-regarded CX-9, but make no mistake, this is an entirely different machine. Built on a new rear-wheel-drive-biased platform and powered by a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, the CX-90 draws comparisons to BMW in both architecture and driving dynamics. All models come with standard all-wheel drive, and Mazda has crafted a world-class three-row SUV that's balanced, engaging to drive, and impressively upscale. While not without flaws, the CX-90 is a standout effort.

Mazda offers a wide range of trims across its gas and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models:
Gas models:
Select Turbo – $38,045
Preferred Turbo – $41,145
Premium Sport Turbo – $46,600
Turbo Premium Plus – $49,600
Turbo S Premium – $53,150
Turbo S Premium Plus – $56,650
PHEV models:
PHEV Preferred – $49,945
PHEV Premium Sport – $54,900
PHEV Premium Plus – $57,950
These prices may seem steep for a Mazda, but the CX-90 genuinely competes with luxury models from Europe and Asia, especially when it comes to refinement, tech, and driving enjoyment.

There are three distinct powertrains:
3.3L Inline-6 Turbo (Mild Hybrid)
280 hp / 332 lb-ft
24 mpg city / 28 mpg highway
3.3L Inline-6 Turbo S (Mild Hybrid)
340 hp / 369 lb-ft
23 mpg city / 28 mpg highway
2.5L PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid)
323 hp / 369 lb-ft
26 miles of electric-only range
56 MPGe combined / 25 mpg gas-only
Max range: ~490 miles
While the PHEV offers strong specs on paper, it's the least refined of the bunch. It feels heavier, has jerky transitions between electric and gas power, and doesn't deliver a driving experience that justifies its price premium. With the base Turbo models already returning solid fuel economy and providing a smooth, responsive drive, the PHEV feels like the odd one out, particularly when you consider the minimal real-world fuel savings.
The 2025 Ford Explorer continues to evolve with improved features, sharp styling, and a broad range of trims that offer something for everyone, from daily family hauling to spirited driving. The tuning of the suspension in every 2025 Explorer I sampled was excellent, with enough comfort for smooth commuting, and just enough firmness for spirited driving. That's especially true with the ST.

Active – $39,755
ST-Line – $44,615
Platinum – $52,250
ST – $54,260
Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard across lower trims, while all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional on upper trims.

There are two distinct powertrains:
2.3-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder
300 hp / 310 lb-ft
21 mpg city / 28 mpg highway
10-speed automatic transmission
3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6
400 hp / 415 lb-ft
EPA-estimated: 18 mpg city / 25 mpg highway (RWD) - AWD is about 1mpg less
10-speed automatic transmission
The V6-equipped Explorer ST feels more like a muscular grand tourer than a traditional SUV, with strong acceleration and a refined, aggressive exhaust note. The Platinum variant, meanwhile, provides a more luxurious spin on that performance. To be fair, the 4-cylinder option is suitable for most consumers, but it has to work hard to move that bulk around. That's especially true when passing, under load.

Performance/Towing: Ford Explorer V6/ST – more torque, faster straight-line speed (0–60 ~5.3 s), higher towing at 5,600 lb (the Mazda maxes out at 5,000-lbs).
Efficiency & Hybrid Tech: Mazda CX‑90 PHEV – strong fuel numbers and electric range
Interior Feel: Mazda CX‑90 – luxury-level materials and design, Ford has a softer ride
Space & Functionality: Ford Explorer – more cargo and passenger room
Tech & Features: Tie – The Ford Explorer for screen size & BlueCruise, and the Mazda CX‑90 for refined controls & sound
View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article
Although I naturally gravitate toward the Mazda CX-90 for its beautifully crafted interior, sleek exterior, and overall premium finish, the Ford Explorer would ultimately be my pick. It offers a smoother ride, and its beefy twin-turbo V6 is an absolute powerhouse. As someone who tows frequently, the Explorer's superior tow rating is also a major advantage. That said, both vehicles are excellent choices, and no matter which trim you select from either lineup, you're bound to be rewarded with a capable, comfortable, and feature-rich SUV.

2026 Mini Cooper Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview The Mini Cooper's cheeky charm and dedicated small-scale take on motoring are arguably its most bankable characteristics, and few shoppers enter a Mini showroom by accident. Still, the modern Mini is a fully baked automobile, powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 161 horsepower in standard guise and 201 horsepower in the S trim. Both use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. It doesn't scrimp on tech or features either, offering the same connectivity options and safety features as less extroverted vehicles. In addition to the two- and four-door versions, there's also a Cooper Convertible, not to mention a Cooper Electric that we review separately. Whichever Mini Cooper fits your style, you'll find a lot of personality—and a smidge of practicality—baked into its tiny footprint. What's New for 2026? Redesigned for the 2025 model year, the Mini Cooper carries over virtually unchanged except for the John Cooper Works Style package availability, which now extends to all S models. Comprising adaptive dampers, unique wheels, and aero bits, it also permits more design flexibility with stripes, roof designs, and mirror-cap graphics. Think of it as a halfway point between the S by itself and the hopped-up JCW variant. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Mini Cooper starts at $30,675 and goes up to $38,075 depending on the trim and options. Signature $30,675 Signature Plus $33,075 S Signature $33,975 Iconic $34,775 S Signature Plus $36,375 S Iconic $38,075 0 $10k $20k $30k $40k $50k $60k For this latest generation of Mini's iconic Cooper, the company will offer it in two distinct models, the entry-level Cooper and the racier Cooper S. Three trim levels will be offered—Signature, Signature Plus, and Iconic—with increasing levels of equipment. We'd choose the more powerful Cooper S and opt for the Signature Plus trim because it adds desirable equipment, including standard sport seats and wireless device charging, and offers more customization possibilities in terms of color and trim. Opting for the four-door body style costs an extra $1000 over the two-door. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Both the Cooper and Cooper S come equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The entry-level Cooper pumps out 161 horsepower, but the more powerful turbocharged S model makes 201 horsepower—12 more than in the 2024 Cooper S. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission will be standard; sadly, we believe Mini will stop offering a six-speed stick with this new generation model. We drove the Cooper S and enjoyed the torquey engine and characterful exhaust note. Its handling is as sharp as ever, with the same lively feel in the corners, and the driving experience is quieter and more refined than in previous Minis. We also drove the convertible version and enjoyed the experience equally, if not a bit more, due to the extra sunshine. 0–60-MPH Times In our testing, the Cooper S got to 60 mph in a swift 5.8 seconds. The base model will likely be a few ticks slower, and we'll update this section with results when we get our hands on one. View Exterior Photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG The EPA hasn't released any fuel economy information for the 2026 Cooper, but the 2025 model earned ratings of 28 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 32 mpg combined for the four- and two-door versions. The Cooper convertible checks in at 27 city, 37 highway, and 30 combined, with the Cooper Convertible S sacrificing an additional 1 mpg in its city and highway ratings. For more information about the Cooper's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo Mini has taken a simplistic approach with the new Cooper's interior. It started by analyzing the original Mini from 1959 and settled on a pared-back design inspired by that car. But it's far less basic than the vintage model and features nice materials, a textile-covered dashboard, clever hidden LED lighting elements, and a more refined control panel with toggle switches. We enjoyed the interior's mix of materials on our drive, noting that although the new car is roughly the same size as the outgoing model, the interior feels more spacious and open. View Interior Photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Infotainment and Connectivity The Cooper's party piece is a unique circular digital infotainment display that appears to float in front of the dashboard. A head-up display is also standard and pops up from the dash in front of the driver. Navigation, smartphone-mirroring functions, SiriusXM radio, and various built-in apps are all included in Mini's updated infotainment software. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features The Cooper comes with driver-assistance technology such as forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, and lane-keeping assist. For more information about its crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include: Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection Standard lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist Available adaptive cruise control Warranty and Maintenance Coverage Mini offers a slightly better warranty than other small-car manufacturers, particularly with complimentary scheduled maintenance. Volvo and BMW both offer complimentary scheduled maintenance plans that match Mini's policy. Limited warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles Powertrain warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles Complimentary scheduled maintenance is covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles Specifications Specifications 2025 Mini Cooper S 2-Door Vehicle Type: front-engine, front-wheel-drive, 4-passenger, 2-door hatchback PRICE Base/As Tested: $35,595/$39,495 ENGINE turbocharged and intercooled DOHC 16-valve inline-4, aluminum block and head, direct fuel injection Displacement: 122 in3, 1998 cm3 Power: 201 hp @ 5000 rpm Torque: 221 lb-ft @ 1450 rpm TRANSMISSION 7-speed dual-clutch automatic CHASSIS Suspension, F/R: struts/multilink Brakes, F/R: 13.2-in vented disc/11.0-in disc Tires: Pirelli Cinturato P7 215/40R-18 89Y ★ DIMENSIONS Wheelbase: 98.2 in Length: 152.6 in Width: 68.7 in Height: 56.4 in Passenger Volume, F/R: 47/32 ft3 Cargo Volume, Behind F/R: 34/9 ft3 Curb Weight: 2991 lb C/D TEST RESULTS 60 mph: 5.8 sec 1/4-Mile: 14.4 sec @ 99 mph 100 mph: 14.7 sec 130 mph: 29.9 sec Results above omit 1-ft rollout of 0.3 sec.

2026 Mini Countryman JCW Review, Pricing, and Specs
Overview Though it competes in the subcompact SUV class, Mini's Countryman John Cooper Works is the brand's biggest vehicle. Now in its third generation, it shares a platform with the dynamically excellent BMW X1 M35i and is all the better for it. The JCW's powertrain—consisting of a 312-hp engine and quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission—is a good fit for this application, and the model's interior is comfortable, spacious, and charmingly on brand, with a round infotainment screen atop the dash and red racing-inspired accents everywhere in sight. Expert Tip: If the JCW is too rowdy for your tastes, you may be better served by the tamer Countryman or the battery-powered Countryman Electric. What's New for 2026? Little changes for 2026, except that new Countryman JCW buyers have the ability to unlock and start their Minis with their smartphones. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2026 Mini Countryman JCW is expected to start around $48,000 and go up to $54,000 depending on the trim and options. Signature Plus $48,000 (est) Iconic $54,000 (est) 0 $10k $20k $30k $40k $50k $60k $70k $80k $90k For most people, the Signature Plus will do nicely. It has everything you need (like heating for the seats and steering wheel, plus remote engine start) and several luxuries you don't (like a head-up display, a panoramic moonroof, and wireless phone charging). Only choose the Iconic if power front seats, an interior camera, and/or more advanced parking-assist and navigation systems are must-haves. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Engine: 312-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder 312-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch automatic 7-speed dual-clutch automatic Drivetrain: all-wheel drive The Countryman JCW is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that churns out 312 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. A quick-acting seven-speed dual-clutch automatic sends that torque to all four wheels, and paddle shifters behind the steering wheel allow the driver to intervene and shift gears when they want to. The Countryman JCW gets model-specific suspension bits and bright red JCW brake calipers. During our initial test drive in Portugal, we noted the transmission's responsiveness, particularly on downshifts, but we took issue with the JCW's lackluster steering. Fortunately, the small SUV is easy to drive quickly down a twisty road, thanks to its crisp handling. It's also surprisingly forgiving on rough stretches of asphalt. 0–60-MPH Times C/D 60-mph Test: 4.6 seconds In Comparison: In our testing, the Countryman JCW got to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. That's a bit slower than the previous-generation model, which was the quickest Mini we ever tested. View Exterior Photos Marc Urbano | Car and Driver Towing and Payload Capacity The Mini Countryman JCW can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG EPA City Rating: 23 mpg 23 mpg EPA Highway Rating: 30 mpg The EPA hasn't released fuel-economy information for the 2026 Mini Countryman JCW yet, but the 2025 model earned ratings of 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. We expect the 2026 Countryman JCW will post similar numbers. For more information about the Countryman JCW's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website. Interior, Comfort, and Cargo First Row: Inside, the Countryman JCW offers cheerful design elements and premium materials—at least on the dashboard and door panels. More plasticky materials are found lower down in the interior's design, but overall, the ambiance is upscale enough for this class. The infotainment display sits above the center stack in a circular housing, which is very Mini. Passenger space is also generous. Second Row: All but the tallest of passengers will find enough headroom and legroom in the back to be comfortable during an extended drive. Cargo Capacity: The Countryman JCW has 25 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 56 with the second row folded. That's more than enough room to transport a Costco cartful home.

There's wireless smartphone charging and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Like the regular Countryman models, the JCW gets a 9.4-inch circular infotainment touchscreen mounted on the center of the dashboard. Mini's latest interface features crisp graphics and plenty of fun details, including a canine voice assistant named Spike and the ability to download and play video games while parked. During our test drive, however, we missed a turn or two due to the slow operation of the nav system. Safety and Driver-Assistance Features Mini equips the JCW with plenty of useful driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Standard Safety Features: lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control Optional Safety Features: hands-free highway driving assist For information about the Countryman JCW's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Warranty and Maintenance Coverage Mini provides respectable warranty coverage and three years of included scheduled maintenance. Limited Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles four years or 50,000 miles Powertrain Warranty: four years or 50,000 miles four years or 50,000 miles Complimentary Maintenance: three years or 36,000 miles C/D Test Results and Specs Whenever a model debuts or sees significant revisions, we test it and publish the results.
