Mazda has never been a brand to stand pat. There's no such thing as too much of a good thing. So, naturally, Mazda took its popular midsize SUV and made it even better by providing a new nameplate and exciting upgrades to bring it to a new generation of Mazda fans.
The Mazda CX-9 saw its final year of production in 2023. It is replaced by the all-new Mazda CX-90. Northtown Mazda still has a great selection of Mazda CX-9 models in our new inventory. But we invite you to investigate the 2024 Mazda CX-90 while you're shopping near Amherst, NY.
Larger Dimensions
The Mazda CX-90 is about an inch larger in all directions; length, width and height, than the outgoing CX-9. This added size equates to more storage, passenger space, and more body control for your SUV while taking on the potentially treacherous roads around Lockport, NY.
Enhanced Performance
You can't make a bad decision when picking the Mazda CX-9 or CX-90. Under the hood, the CX-9 carries a potent 250-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It is paired with all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic, so you get a peppy and energetic acceleration on the highways.
The CX-90 goes bigger with a couple of engine options to suit your travels. The starter powertrain is a turbocharged six-cylinder engine that pumps out as much as 280 horsepower. The higher trims ramp up the horsepower to 340. It upgrades to an eight-speed automatic transmission for your adventures.
The CX-90 provides even more opportunity to save with a rambunctious plug-in hybrid option. This is ideal for traveling around Amherst, NY streets, by using all-electric energy, then switching to a gas-powered engine when you reach highway speeds. This hefty system produces 323 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.
Interior Updates and Technology
The cabin of the CX-9 is a sight to behold, with upscale materials and great features galore. Its seating maxed out at seven passengers. It gives drivers a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple and Android connectivity. Wireless device charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot are included. It raises the bar with leather upholstery and heated front seats standard.
The CX-90 is similarly designed with outstanding elements to enhance your drives. Its cabin can hold eight passengers with configurable seats to accommodate six or seven. It starts with synthetic leather upholstery but can be upgraded to genuine leather or Nappa Leather upholstery. It also boasts a 10.25-inch touchscreen. But that can be upgraded to a dual-12.3-inch display system and wireless smartphone connectivity.
Enhanced Pricing
If your bottom line is the deciding factor in choosing the 2023 CX-9 or the new Mazda CX-90, then the final year of the CX-9 might be your better option. Both are budget-friendly and provide spectacular value, thanks to all the standard features it includes throughout the lineup. However, the 2023 Mazda CX-9 Touring has a starting MSRP of around $37,333.
The 2024 CX-90 starts at $37,845. When you break it all down, there isn't a drastic difference in price. The CX-90 gives you more standard features to the lineup. And if you include new Mazda special offers, consider your trade, and many other financial options, then it could be a wash, and the CX-90 would be the best fit for you.
