2021 Mazda CX-9 Compared to 2020 Mazda CX-9

Designed as a sporty SUV, the Mazda CX-9 has an enjoyable driving nature that can be found in Mazda’s sedans and coupes. Drivers can expect a similar experience while behind the wheel of both the 2020 and 2021 versions of the SUV. The same engine allows for a consistent ride no matter which model year the driver chooses. Where the CX-9 has changed for 2021 is in the interior technology and visual elements, which offer a whole new level of interactivity for the driver and passengers to enjoy.

Engine Comparison

The engine presented for both the 2020 and 2021 model years of the Mazda CX-9 is identical. Powering both versions of this impressive SUV is the turbocharged SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L four-cylinder engine. This dependable engine offers the driver 227 horsepower to enjoy on the road. The engine also proves to be efficient to help drivers save money on the road. The estimated fuel economy for both model years is listed at 22 MPG city/28 MPG highway on FWD versions, while AWD versions come in at 20 MPG city/26 MPG highway.

Interior Comparison

Depending on the trim level of the Mazda CX-9, the 2021 version of the SUV offers new standard interior features. Take the deluxe Signature edition, for example. Drivers will appreciate the introduction of quilted leather upholstery for an unbelievably comfortable ride. The 2021 version also adds the new Carbon Edition package for the Grand Touring trim level which upholsters the seating in stylish red leather. Both the Grand Touring and Signature trims of the 2021 CX-9 also receive new paddle shifters not available on the previous 2020 model.

Technology Comparison

The infotainment technology contained in the 2021 model year of the Mazda CX-9 has been redone for a fresh interactive experience compared to the 2020 version.
