Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Mazda CX-9 is a midsize three-row crossover SUV with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Offered in six trim levels for the 2022 model year, the CX-9 starts at $35,630 and rises past $47,560. | |
Reviews SummaryTiny and impractical, comfortably seating just two people, in need of more power, yet plenty of fun to drive, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 is the Miata of SUVs. It competes against other inexpensive entry-level crossovers ranging from the Buick Encore to the Toyota C-HR, swapping outright utility for stylish good looks and rousing dynamics. You don’t buy a Mazda CX-3 for off-roading capability or spending sprees at the local IKEA. You buy it because it looks terrific and is a joy to pilot, putting a smile on your face whether you’re commuting, running errands, or heading out for a drive just because. | |
