Commuters Will Love To Drive Daily

You Won't Be Alone In Your Love For The CX-9

The automotive media is enthusiastic about the 2020 Mazda CX-9. Consumer Reports writes: “[T]he CX-9 is particularly agile, comfortable riding, and quiet among affordable midsized three-row SUVs. Long, sleek, and rakish, the CX-9 has a presence that contrasts with some rivals that come across as tall wagons in a ‘rugged’ off-roader costume. ... [T]he CX-9 is a compelling alternative to the more popular players.”

The 2020 Mazda CX-9 is offered in four trim levels: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring and Signature. The CX-9 employs a 2.5-liter turbo-four engine that’s good for 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with premium gas. With regular, those numbers drop slightly to 227 hp and 310 lb-ft. A six-speed automatic gearbox sends power to the wheels. Front-wheel drive is standard on all trims but the Signature, which comes with all-wheel drive. Buyers can add all-wheel drive to the other trims.

Excellent Fuel Economy and Incredible Handling

Fuel economy is excellent. With front-wheel drive, the 2020 Mazda CX-9 gets an EPA-estimated 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, while all-wheel-drive models return 20/26 mpg.*

The Mazda CX-9’s incredible handling is assisted by Mazda’s standard G-Vectoring Control Plus system. This setup enables the CX-9 to take corners effortlessly. When the vehicle turns, the system applies brake force to the outer wheels to increase stability. Drivers who need power for towing will appreciate the CX-9’s 3,500-pound maximum towing capacity.

Mazda’s user-friendly infotainment system is standard. The entry-level Sport model comes with a 7.0-inch screen, while the other trims get an 8.0-inch display. The system can be controlled via a rotary knob, a touchscreen, buttons on the center console or voice commands. Other standard features include Bluetooth, HD radio and apps for Aha, Stitcher and Pandora.
