Mazda CX-5

The 2020 Mazda CX-5 is an excellent choice if you need space for up to five. This compact crossover SUV has consistently ranked highly among models in its segment, thanks to its impressive power and performance, upscale cabin features, and stellar handling. The CX-5 comes in five trim levels, which are Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature. Every model showcases an eye-catching exterior, while the base includes standard LED headlights and keyless ignition. Exterior upgrades on the higher trim levels include keyless entry, a sunroof, and a power-operated liftgate.

The cabin can also feature high-end touches like premium leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, driver’s seat memory functions, and a 10-speaker premium Bose audio system. On the safety side, every model has a rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, brake support with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane-keep assist, adaptive front lighting, and radar cruise control. An optional turbocharged engine and available all-wheel drive round out the performance aspects of this SUV.

Mazda CX-9

If you need more space, the larger Mazda CX-9 may be the right fit for your family. This three-row crossover is powerful, stylish, and packed with features. The standard engine is a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 310 pound-feet of torque and 227 horsepower. It pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is optional on all trim levels except the top Signature, which is standard with AWD. The AWD system also includes off-road traction assist, which sends torque to the wheels that still have traction in slick road conditions.

The CX-9 comes standard with seating for seven, although the top trim has second-row captain’s chairs that take the capacity to six. Interior standard features include heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat with adjustable lumbar support, dual USB ports, and a suite of safety features. You can also get your cabin equipped with a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, rear USB ports, leather upholstery, and a power-operated liftgate.

Mazda6

If your family fits in a sedan, the Mazda6 is a competitive option. This stylish midsize sedan seats five people comfortably and even has plenty of space for car seats in the rear. Standard features include an 8-inch touch screen, LED front lighting, and plenty of safety equipment, including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane-keep assist, and blind spot monitoring. You can further enhance the Mazda6 with features like power-adjustable, heated, and ventilated front seats, paddle shifters, a Bose sound system, upgraded leather upholstery, and front and rear parking sensors.
