Mazda
is known for producing value for money automobile. Since the time of its
inception, Mazda has invested a lot of time and money in giving new and
developed versions of the cars every year. These cars have made themselves
popular with extraordinary performance and an ideal price in the market. Mazda
has its cars running in all the segments namely sedan, hatchbacks and SUVs. In
2019, Mazda is planning to launch a midsized SUV under the market name of Mazda
CX-9. Mazda has already launched the predecessors under the name of Mazda CX-3
and CX-6. We will learn more about it in this 2019Mazda CX-9 review.
Mazda
has put a step in the sports cars market also. Since it has been in that
market, all of its cars have an influence on sports cars. Similarly, Mazda CX-9
also has a sporty look. It has one of the most athletic looks in the class of
midsized SUVs. Moreover, the price range of the car is moderate. This means it
is affordable to the middle-class segment of the people too. Mazda CX-9 is also
known for the nicest interiors. At this price, it is being sold at, getting
these interiors is a rare sight. Mazda could have made to the top of the list
of the best-midsized SUVs but there are a few drawbacks that pull it in the
middle of the list. A weaker predicted reliability rating is one of the causes
as to why people have second thoughts about it.
What do
we like about the car?
Mazda CX-9
uses petrol or diesel as a fuel. The powertrain is
designed in such a way that it offers good fuel efficiency along with a lively
and a polished acceleration even at high speeds. Moreover, the car also offers
agile and nimble handling. The driver can experience the most composed driving
while on the wheel. The interiors of the cabin are also one of the nicest in
class. The first-class cabin offers comfort and luxury with styling and
high-quality materials. The number of active safety features is also something
that should be taken note of.
What do
we not like about the car?
All
cars have their positives and shortcomings. Similarly, Mazda CX-9 has a couple
of shortcomings that should be taken care of before buying the car. One of the
major drawbacks is that, when it is compared to the rivals, the rear cargo
space is not really large. The competitors such as Lexus and Ford offer a
heftier cargo space at almost the same price. In addition to that, the tow
rating of the car is below the mark. A poor tow rating makes it an inefficient
car in terms of power rating. The predicted reliability rating is also quite
below par.
What is
new for 2019?
The
infotainment system of the car is upgraded. The multimedia in the cabin now
supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Moreover, the car also offers a good
quality of suspension and better ride quality than the previous versions. The
cabin has also been made sound proof for additional comfort and luxury during
the ride.
