Why it stands out

The 2014 Mazda CX-9 stands out as a three-row crossover that leans more toward driving enjoyment than outright space. Mazda describes the CX-9 as a sportier choice than many of its rivals, and the model’s standard all-wheel drive and eight-speed automatic transmission reinforce that character. It also uses Mazda Intelligent Drive Select with Sport and Off-Road modes, along with Kinematic Posture Control, a software feature Mazda says helps suppress body lift in tight corners and improve occupant posture. For buyers who want a family hauler that still feels polished and engaging, that combination is a major part of the CX-9’s appeal.

The 2014 Mazda CX-9 also offers a premium-leaning cabin and a strong list of standard equipment. The base trim includes black leatherette seats, a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel with paddle shifters, a 10.25-inch center display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, a 7-inch LCD instrument panel display, and an eight-speaker sound system. It also comes with keyless entry, push-button start, dual USB inputs for the front and second rows, automatic climate control, and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support. Outside, it gets 19-inch alloy wheels, a power liftgate, roof rails, LED lighting, power and heated mirrors with LED turn signal indicators, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

Safety equipment is another strength, since Mazda’s i-Activsense suite is included on all CX-9 models. Standard features include smart city brake support, blind spot monitors, radar cruise control with stop & go, driver-attention alert, lane-keep assist with lane-departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. The main tradeoff is that the CX-9 is smaller inside than class leaders, its ride borders on stiff, and its technology can be unintuitive. Even so, the 2014 Mazda CX-9 remains appealing for shoppers who value style, a premium feel, and a more athletic personality than many three-row SUVs deliver.
