Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
None-more-black looks
Appealing overall package
Big, comfy and hugely likeable

Cons
Pricey compared with 'offer' Kluger variants
Feeling its age
Lacks some key equipment
New-gen replacement not here until 2021

By: 
caradvice.com.au

Pros
Value for money,
myriad storage options,
comfortable ride and seats

Cons
Basic infotainment system,
ordinary cabin materials,
thirsty V6

By: 
whichcar.com.au

Even with seating for up to seven passengers, the CX-9 still offers plenty of that Mazda magic.

Pros
A rare fun-to-drive SUV,
near-luxury cabin trimmings,
top-quality fit-and-finish
Cons
Limited cargo space with rearmost seat in use,
tight quarters for third-row passengers.

By: 
caranddriver.com

The 2021 Mazda CX-9 crossover SUV rewards drivers with good road manners, but takes a penalty in third-row space.

Pros
Very attractive
Well-done interior
Good safety gear
Engaging responsiveness

Cons
Distracting infotainment controller
Cramped third-row and cargo space
Limited lineup
