But our eagle-eyed car spotter knew from the rich, dark red paint scheme and the sheer size of the vehicle that this was no ordinary Mazda – it was the 2024 CX-90, complete with Philippine conduction sticker, that is expected to launch officially by the end of 2023.

My family has a fleet of vehicles that are exclusiv

Mazda always amazes me with their stunning exterior designs as I have also never seen a model of theirs that isn’t good-looking. I have asked myself before, “Is Mazda a luxury car?” as the brand was already registered as a pretty model in my head.
