As Mazda dealers, we often get questions about how our vehicles stack up against their most common competitors. We are happy to share information and let you come to your own conclusions on that. And today, want to shine the spotlight on one of our most commonly asked about vehicles: the 2019 Mazda CX-9.

The Mazda CX-9 is often times compared to the Subaru Ascent because the two models are fairly similar in terms of size, engine, and value. However, there are a handful of details that really set the Mazda CX-9 apart from the competition.

Performance and handling: Many Mazda vehicles like the Mazda Miata are known for their roadster essence, and you may think that’s a far cry from a three-row SUV. However, the Mazda CX-9 has been surprising us with its performance since day one.

With a sedan-like feel, the Mazda CX-9 is firmly planted and not top heavy thanks to its wide base and low roof. The Mazda CX-9 gets 310 lb.-ft. of torque, as opposed to the 277 lb.-ft. in the Subaru Ascent. Both models run on a four-cylinder engine and have towing capacities over 3,000 pounds.

Styling and interior: Where models like the Subaru Ascent are known for their functionality, Mazda models are known for their style. Luxury is apparent in the Mazda CX-9 from high class materials to the elegant design, which looks much more costly than the MSRP price of the model. Seriously driver-focused, the inside of this model has steering, seat, and console placement made for driver comfort.

We would love to show you the Mazda CX-9 in person so you can evaluate it for yourself. If you live near Fairless Hills and ever search for “car dealerships near me,” then you know Peruzzi Mazda is a convenient and reliable choice.
