PROS
Premium interior, especially the top-level Signature trim
Sporty handling
Comfortable and quiet on the highway

CONS

Third-row seats aren't especially accommodating

The 2019 Mazda CX-9 delivers heavily on style, but it’s just adequate in other respects.

Pros
Gorgeous sheetmetal
Near-luxury interior
Widely available safety tech
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, finally

Cons
No touchscreen functionality
Not as much space as competitors
Limited options
No hybrid alternative

By:

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto finally join the spec sheet for 2019 and are standard on Touring, Grand Touring, and Signature trims. Mazda has included a list of other optional features for 2019 as well, which includes ventilated front seats, a 360-degree-view exterior camera system, SiriusXM Travel Link (live traffic and weather updates, among other things), a digital gauge display, power-folding exterior mirrors, and a frameless rearview mirror. The luxurious Signature trim now comes with a new wood trim inside and exclusive exterior badging.

Pros
Sweetest-driving three-row,
fuel-efficient powertrain,
near-luxury interior.

Cons
Compromised cargo room,
tight third row,
no second-row captain's chairs.

Pros
6,000-pound towing capacity near the top of the class
Comfortable and quiet highway ride
Spacious cabin

Cons
The front seats feel a bit stiff
The engine can be sluggish to respond
Less cargo space than some rivals

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Upscale, airy interior
Many standard tech and safety features
Pleasant driving dynamics

Cons
Above-average starting price

By: 
usnews.com

Completely new for 2022, the Pathfinder sheds the frumpy design of the 2020 model in favor of a rugged and modern look. Expect to see the new Pathfinder in Nissan dealerships in summer 2021.

Pros
Quiet cabin,
impressive towing capacity,
plentiful storage cubbies and bins.

Cons
Lackluster handling,
numb steering,
loaded model costs more than Telluride but isn't quite as nice.
