The 2020 Mazda CX9 is a three-row midsize SUV with handling comparable to that of a sedan. It sets itself apart by being a smooth, fun vehicle to drive and having above-average fuel economy at an impressive 20 mpg city/26 mpg highway. The CX9 goes head-to-head with competitors and holds its own, securing a position near the very top for midsize SUVs.
1. i-Activsense
Built with confidence for the confident driver, i-Activsense comes standard in all CX9 trim levels and brings with it the latest technologically advanced safety features. These features include smart brake support with collision warning, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and Mazda radar cruise control, among others.
These can assist with avoiding collisions, potential hazards, applying emergency braking, and sending haptic feedback notifications so that you are always alert of what is happening around you. Traffic sign recognition can also read upcoming traffic signs using your front-facing camera and display the content of the sign on your active driving display so you can keep your eyes on the road while driving.
2. i-Activ AWD®
An available add-on, predictive i-Activ AWD® is an innovative feature that can predict traction loss in different terrains or weather conditions. If traction loss is detected, i-Active AWD® will automatically send torque to whichever tires can best use it. There is also Off-Road Traction Assist, which balances torque distribution and traction control while you are off-roading. i-Activ AWD® handles the performance in less than ideal driving conditions so you can have more confidence while driving.
3. SkyActiv® Technology
SkyActiv® technology is designed with humans in mind. How we react, how we move, and our sensory features have been considered to deliver the most comfortable drive possible. With the impressive fuel economy also comes impressive engine performance. By manufacturing all the parts of the engine to be interconnected, the engine uses each individual part intelligently to have a better output of performance as the end result. And the suspension balances the movements of the CX9 to offer exceptional handling.
4. Mazda Connect™ Infotainment System
The infotainment system has an all-new 9-inch display as the base of tech operations. It comes complete with Commander control that is conveniently placed and user-friendly. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration are available to play music, use navigation, make and receive phone calls, and use other apps with actually being on your phone.
5. 12-Speaker BOSE® Sound System
The BOSE® sound system is part of the custom signature Mazda sound that includes a surround-sound audio system with Audiopilot. It also has SurroundStage technology for a sound that encompasses the entire cabin and delivers a crisp, high-quality audio experience.
The CX9 was named an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ for 2020, making it one of six Mazda models to earn the title, which is the most of any manufacturer. The CX9 has also earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
