Mazda CX-9

Price $33,995 – $45,995
Fuel consumption 8.4 – 12.8 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 83%(view ratings)
This crossover is very roomy and boasts a third row of seats. Sure, it’s built for comfort, but the CX-9 has a hint of sportiness as well. Its 3.7L V6 engine produces 273 horsepower. A recent style upgrade, notably to its front grille, has harmonized it with the other Mazda models. Its 1588-kg (3500-lbs.) towing capacity is superior to that of several competitors.
