Why the Mazda CX-9 ticks all the boxes
The SUV revolution continues to take over the United States, as sales of these larger cars grow faster than ever.
SUV drivers are after features that smaller cars simply can’t provide, such as off-road capability, huge amounts of cargo space and tons of horsepower.
They also appreciate the added safety that larger cars tend to bring.
As such, manufacturers have been making efforts to meet the demand by producing more larger cars.
The question is: what’s the car that ticks all the boxes at an affordable price?
One manufacturer you might not expect to be making waves in this industry is Mazda.
The Japanese company is better known for making classy sports cars, but it appears to have hit the nail on the head by producing a vehicle that American SUV-lovers really want to drive.
Below, we look at why the Mazda CX-9 has proved so popular.
What’s so appealing about the CX-9?
The CX-9 includes all the features list above, mixed with a refined appearance and sporty interiors.

Loads of space for cargo

The Mazda CX-9 is leading a new SUV revolution
The shift from coupes and sedans to larger cars has been the defining trend among American drivers since the turn of the millennium.
It’s well known among all car manufacturers, and quite frankly, anyone who spent a lot of time on the roads of America will surely have noticed it.
However, in more recent times, there’s a subtler SUV revolution taking place.
Back in the early 2000s, when crossover SUVs first started selling in a big way, the market was attracted to the fact they could now buy larger cars which didn’t have terrible handling or horrible fuel efficiency.
A crossover was the best of both worlds. It had power, storage room, and off-road capability, without as much of the traditional flaws of larger cars. As technology has improved, so has the handling and fuel economy of these vehicles.
Yet, now there’s a new brand of crossover SUV that has set the bar even higher; a vehicle which is powerful, efficient AND stylish.
Mazda has arguably led this new revolution with the introduction of its newest CX-9 model.
The vehicle first hit the roads in 2006, but it’s the latest generation that has really made motorists sit up and take notice.
Why the new CX-9 rocks
As well as doing all the things you’d expect from a top-quality crossover SUV, the Mazda CX-9 design echoes the manufacturer’s mantra of ‘doing things a little differently.’
Its sporty exterior, extravagant interiors and the huge host of safety features give that extra touch of class that SUV drivers haven’t come to expect in the past.
What’s more, it does a lot of the basic much better than its immediate rivals.
It’s powered by a 2.5-liter turbo four engine, which provides up to 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. It provides 22 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway. What’s more, you’ll get up to 71.2 cubic feet, when all seats are folded down.
The safety features are a real highlight, which helps make this car so enjoyable to drive,
You’ll get lane departure warning, lane keep assist, distance recognition support and blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert among other features.
