Excellent car! Comfortable, spacious, and beautiful!

Amazing car! Comfortable, big and spacious, very good for traveling. Really beautiful too and has a bunch of interesting and very cool features. Really nice to drive. The brakes are really smooth. Has heat warming and cooling. So it is good for hot and cold climates. Also has a sunroof that opens and chargers through the car.

The best family vehicle ever.

My vehicle is the most versatile thing on the planet. The optional third row seating has come in handy numerous times especially with our growing family. Love all the bells and whistles. The cameras have such clear pictures and the leather interior is easy to clean.

Great car, lots of premium features for the price!

Comfy, safe, powerful, cool designed, a bit bulky but lots of space. Interior design is great, exterior looks powerful. A bit greedy in terms of miles per gallon ratio, but very comfy when driven for long trips. I like the red chosen by Mazda. A bit on the expensive side if you add the feel well options.

My Mazda looks and feels like some of the best premium luxury vehicles!

The interior of the signature cx-9 is really slick. It is premium luxury for half the price! The instrument panel is classy, the seats and stitching are well-done, and there's ambient lighting on the center console that makes it feel like a luxury vehicle. I also love my 3 rows so I have space when I need it. Our second row has a permanent drink holder console so we have 6 total seats. I have only had one problem with it so far - my battery died, probably because a door was cracked and the lights were on, but otherwise it has been really smooth and slick to drive. I always look forward to a drive in my Mazda!

An extremely convenient car for many different lifestyles.

This vehicle has three rows but not ginormous so it is easy to park not hard to drive and it has Bose speakers has apple CarPlay. When the third row is down there is plenty of trunk space which is great for packing strollers and going on vacation. The car is also great on gas one of the cheapest cars I have had to fill.

Mazda cx-9 review - great family car.

I love my new car because it is sporty and also functions as a family SUV with 3rd row seating. It gets good gas mileage for an SUV. I love the way the interior looks. I like the safety features. I would recommend a cx-9 to anyone looking for a family car. I plan on always owning a Mazda vehicle.

Premium class SUV

I have bought this vehicle about a month ago and I absolutely love it... The drive, safety features, exterior and interior finishes gives a very premium look. I easily competes with leading German brands

Brianna G

The all new Mazda cx 9 2020.

My 2020 Mazda cx 9 is very nice. It has 3 rows, every row having 2 seats. That is except for the middle row which consists of 3 seats. The middle seat of the middle row has a pull-down armrest with 2 very nice cup holders this jazzy car will not disappoint you even considering the costly price of 32k.

Pros from Owners

Kim B.

Good safety record, very reliable, low maint or cost of ownership, competitive mpg, nice ride and easy on the eyes. Good selection of colors both exterior and interior. Dealership and service personnel are helpful and look for your best interest and the right fit when purchasing the vehicle too.

Cons from Owners

Kim B.

It is loaded with electronic features which might be more sensitive to breakage vs mechanical issues but no record they are not reliable. MPG is competitive but it seems like it should be better. As an SUV, I wish it came with better weather mats, some type of better protection around the bumpers and wheel wells for off road protection.
