The 2022 Mazda CX-9 is an affordable 3-row SUV that is ideal for an active family. This isn’t a small car and is just right for long trips, hauling gear, and getting the kids around town in comfort.

2022 Mazda CX-9 – Affordable 3-Row SUV

There are some features that are worthy of highlighting for a vehicle at an attractive price point. This is an affordable 3-row SUV that starts at $35,280 MSRP.

Exterior

The CX-9 features automatic on/off LED headlights, LED taillights, and daytime running lights. I like that the power side mirrors are heated for those very cold winter mornings. Likewise, the windshield wipers are equipped with rain sensors. 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels offer a smooth and steady ride and easy handling.

Spacious Interior Mazda CX 9

The CX-9 is one of the 3rd-row vehicles on the market. It offers room for a driver and passenger in the front captain’s seats and up to 5 passengers in the 2nd and 3rd rows. There is a captain’s seat option for the 2nd row.

The 3rd-row seats are 50/50 split fold-down for additional cargo space. Even without the 3rd row folded down the cargo area is adequate for a family. It optimizes storage with under-floor compartment space and storage boxes. To increase the cargo area, just fold down the 3rd row seats.

This is one of the best designed 3rd row vehicles on the market in terms of maximizing interior cabin space. The design of the interior Mazda CX 9 is well engineered.

The interior cabin of the 2022 Mazda CX-9 is also classy and very comfortable. I love the leather accents, especially the sporty leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather-wrapped shift knob.
