Why choose the 2021 Mazda CX-9?

Looking for your next family car? Then you should consider what the CX-9 and Honda Pilot have to offer. Both of these SUVs are suitable for a large family, but which one is right for you? Read on to find out how they compare.

Safety Features

When you have your family on board, safety is a top priority. So it should come as no surprise that both of these family-oriented vehicles are equipped with a number of safety features designed with you and your family's safety in mind. Helping you stay in your lane are lane-departure alert and lane-keep assist, and the adaptive cruise control system makes any trip go by fast. A blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert is standard on all models of the CX-9, while you have to upgrade to get this feature on the Pilot. The CX-9 also features hill launch assist to help you get up inclines with ease.

Interior Comfort

Seating capacity for both of these SUVs is either seven or eight, depending on the configuration. In the CX-9, you can opt for second-row captain's chairs starting at the Touring trim level, whereas if you want this seating arrangement in the Pilot, you'll have to go with one of the higher trims. Heated front seats start in the base trim for the CX-9 and come in at higher trim levels for the Pilot. To make loading and unloading your gear or groceries a breeze, opt for one of these SUV models that offer a hands-free power liftgate. Both cars have great features, but if you want more standard safety and trim perks, the Mazda CX-9 is a great choice.
