A Dive Inside the 2023 Mazda CX-9

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 is due for discontinuation, and its replacement, the 2024 CX-90, is eager to fill those tire marks. However, that’s no reason to ignore the CX-9’s capabilities. After all, the midsize SUV stays faithful to the automaker’s history with its rich 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. So anyone considering the Kia Sorento or Lexus RX L should give the Mazda crossover a chance. 

Regarding driving performance, the CX-9 powerfully delivers anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 rpm. For an SUV of that size, it handles exceptionally well through responsive steering, reliable cornering, and a ride from the four-wheel independent suspension that’s firm. From its inception, the Mazda CX-9 delivered a driver-centric experience and continues to do so today.  

The Mazda crossover offers an interior that ages like a fine bottle of Chante. The midsize SUV supports five interior colorways, available through five optional trims. Then there’s the top-tier Signature trim with our favorite option, Nappa leather. The Nappa leather delivers a rich chestnut brown color that would make Morris Chestnut envious. The optional leather maintains the CX-9’s distinction with assistance from chrome accents and a lush open-pore rosewood placed elaborately on the Signature’s armrests and center console. 

The first two rows of the Mazda SUV are ample and well-configured. The first row features heated front seats and side mirrors as a standard. In addition, the heated second-row seats come standard on most trims. Further, the Signature trim adds a second-row center console with cupholders and concealed storage. 

Although it is tempting to wait for the Mazda CX-90, the CX-9 offers three rows and an extraordinary engine. However, if patience is more than a virtue, then the CX-90 is the way to go. The upcoming Mazda offers heightened drivability and fuel efficiency. We’re excited about the electrified drivetrains, rear-wheel-drive powertrain, and eight-speed automatic transmission.
