This mid-size crossover is known for its sporty handling and possessing more zip than similar vehicles in its class, thanks to a turbocharged four-cylinder. This does come at the cost of some cargo space, but those who want an adventuremobile that’s lively to drive will consider that a small price to pay. In addition, even the base trim of the CX-9 boasts a elegant interior styling, and the higher trims are reminiscent of luxury crossovers (such as the Audi Q8, BMW X5 or Porche Cayenne.) There’s also a comprehensive, user-friendly infotainment system with a 10.3-inch screen.
