Five Reasons to Consider the 2023 Mazda CX-9

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 continues to stay relevant as a stylish and engaging SUV. Capable of seating 7, the three-row SUV serves as one of Mazda’s better choices given its capability, versatility, and affordability. Mazda has provided the CX-9 with an all-new Touring Plus trim and added new materials to the interior cabin. This is all in spite of the fact that the Japanese automaker is preparing new releases like the CX-60, CX-70, and CX-90. While all of these are expected to offer high performance and capability, the CX-9 manages to serve its purpose for those in need of something reliable. As such, we’ll take a look at five reasons why consumers should consider the 2023 Mazda CX-9 in a sea of SUVs.  

Unique KODO Style

One of the first reasons to consider the 2023 Mazda CX-9 is its unique style. Both inside and out the CX-9 offers consumers the design philosophy that Mazda calls KODO. This philosophy means the CX-9 utilizes a blend of well-planned textures, materials, and shapes. The exterior is accentuated with curves and bumps all complemented by a brilliant silver finish. Inside, the SUV features upscale materials like genuine rosewood accents with Nappa leather upholstery. Mazda has also designed the SUV for comfort adding second-row captain’s chairs with a 6-seat configuration.

Impressive Performance

Another highlight of the 2023 CX-9 is its turbocharged engine. The turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder delivers 250 horsepower and 320lb-ft of torque and is paired with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Both utilize a six-speed automatic transmission, but those wanting a manual transmission have the option. The 2023 CX-9 proves to be highly engaging as a crossover SUV. Its responsive steering and precise handling make for an engaging driving experience. This is aided by a quick acceleration and a firm suspension.

Impressive Capability

A third reason to consider the Mazda CX-9 is its capability. With 8-inches of ground clearance, the three-row SUV is no stranger to trails and backroads. All-wheel drive helps ensure the CX-9 remains sturdy and resolute. While the SUV won’t fare too well when faced with tougher off-road conditions, the CX-9 offers a reasonable amount of versatility.

Affordability

While the next reason may seem like a stretch, the 2023 Mazda CX-9 starts at an MSRP of $38,750 (plus destination fee). Given its performance and capability combined with a top IIHS safety rating, the CX-9 proves to be rather affordable. Most SUVs with a similar price offer much less in terms of amenities and features. Mazda has dropped the base Sport trim for the CX-9, but the Touring takes its spot offering features like captain’s chairs and a power sunroof as standard. This is alongside safety features like automatic braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure warnings, and a heads-up display. 

Spacious Interior

The last reason to consider the 2023 Mazda CX-9 is its interior cabin. On top of being stylish, the three-row SUV offers seating for up to seven. The CX-9 offers ample space for both passengers and cargo. With up to 150 cubic feet of interior space, owners can comfortably seat family and friends while still having enough storage room.
