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 SummaryKia can barely keep up with demand for the Telluride, and its dealers and customers have told the company not to change a single thing, so you’d think it unnecessary for the automaker to invest a single penny upgrading the popular three-row crossover SUV. Kia would disagree. This year, the 2023 Telluride gets minor styling changes, new technologies, and some off-roading attitude in the form of new X-Line and X-Pro trim levels. We headed to San Antonio, Texas, which has somehow become the seventh most populous city in the U.S., to sample the Telluride’s new kit. And we remain impressed with this excellent family-size sport-ute. | |
