If you’re in the market for a sporty SUV that touts a premium cabin, put the 2019 Mazda CX-9 on your short list. It stands out among three-row crossovers with its enthusiastic acceleration and athletic performance, while offering passengers a stylish cabin that borders on luxurious. The CX-9 is an alluring pick for families with its ample supply of entertainment and safety equipment. Let’s delve into the five top features of the 2019 Mazda CX-9.

1. Lively Powertrain

The 2019 CX-9’s polished and fuel efficient turbo is sure to bring up the giggle. Spice up your daily grind with this brisk, four-cylinder engine that feels more like a beefy V-6 thanks to 227 horsepower and its smooth six-speed automatic transmission.

The advantage of a four-cylinder is at the pump. The new CX-9 boasts one of the highest ratings in the class: 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway on front-wheel drive equipped variants. It can even tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.

2. Agile Handling

With a newly improved suspension and ride quality for the 2019 model year, the CX-9 delivers tight steering and controlled body movements. Thanks to Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control, it seamlessly adjusts power and weight distribution. The grin-inducing nimbleness of the CX-9’s retuned suspension preserves this SUV’s dynamic ride comfort.

3. First-Class Cabin

With seating for seven, the CX-9 is a no-brainer when it comes to hauling kids and cargo. Contemporary styling and premium materials such as high-quality leather seats and genuine rosewood inlays make the CX-9’s top trims a luxurious experience. Even the base trims are well-made and richly appointed and offer the added refinement of sound-deadening insulation.

Discover the CX-9’s reclining and sliding seat adjustments. Second-row tilt and slide features offer easy passenger access to the back row, with three child seat anchors mounted in the second row and one is available in the third.

4. Noteworthy Technology Features

New for 2019, the Mazda Connect infotainment interface now features a 7-inch touch screen, plus available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This system offers simple menu layouts, and there are traditional buttons and knobs too. The cargo area offers an available power liftgate, and get the advantages of all-wheel drive standard on the top Signature trim.

5. Safety Advancements

Each of the four CX-9 trim levels is fully equipped with a slew of innovative safety features including a rearview camera, a blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, and Mazda’s pre-crash technology. Armed with these safeguards, the 2019 CX-9 earned a perfect five-out-of-five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, plus five stars for side crash test performance.

Opt for a wealth of advanced safety upgrades, such as lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and parking sensors. You can also choose automatic high beams, adaptive headlights, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a surround-view monitor.

These are just a few of the 2019 Mazda CX-9’s top features. Check out our inventory of the 2019 Mazda CX-9 for sale in Wichita, at Davis-Moore Mazda.
