Highlights of the 2020 Mazda CX-9

All trims of the 2020 Mazda CX-9 get powered by a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that provides acceleration with one step on the throttle. When using premium fuel, this powertrain produces up to 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, clearly showing no signs of lack. To enjoy a turbocharged engine in a 2020 Kia Sorento, one needs to upgrade to higher trim configurations. Despite this difference in power, the CX-9 manages to achieve comparable fuel efficiency rates.

As soon as you get inside the Mazda CX-9 you begin to understand why this SUV is worthy of a luxury badge. At first glance you will notice the top-notch materials and premium features the cabin is furnished with. Standard on every trim you will find heated front seats, a three-zone automatic climate control, a push-button start, a remote keyless system, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and many more. To get most of these conveniences in the Kia Sorento, you need to pay extra.

In terms of safety, Mazda also takes the upper hand. While the Sorento only offers driver-assist technologies on higher trim levels, the CX-9 incorporates the i-ACTIVSENSE safety suite throughout the lineup. Blind Spot Monitoring, Advanced Smart City Brake Support with pedestrian detection, Lane-keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, among others, are standard on the CX-9.
