Pros Polished turbo V-6 powertrain, comfortable interior, plenty of curb appeal.
Cons Unrefined optional hybrid powertrain, disappointing fuel economy, most expensive Black Label trim encroaches Navigator's price range.
Even with seating for up to seven passengers, the CX-9 still offers plenty of that Mazda magic.
