Sleek and Refined Drives
When it comes to engine power, the 2022 Mazda CX-9 and the Acura MDX are both rather impressive. Under the hood of both SUVs, you’ll find commanding powertrains delivering more than 200 horsepower for a dynamic and spirited performance as you run your kids to soccer games and clarinet practice.
When it comes to torque, though, the Mazda CX-9 excels with up to 320 lb-ft of torque, while the Acura MDX only provides 267 lb-ft of torque.
Effortless and Efficient Handling
As for efficiency, you’ll want to go with the Mazda CX-9 for the fewest number of fuel stops. With all-wheel drive, these are the ratings you can expect from each SUV:
- MADZA CX-9 EPA-estimated MPG: 20/26 city/highway MPG*
- Acura MDX EPA-estimated MPG: 19/25 city/highway
In addition, the Mazda’s 19.5-gallon fuel tank can hold more than the Acura’s 18.5-gallon counterpart. The Mazda CX-9 is also armed with Skyactiv®-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control Plus. This standard system expertly shifts the vehicle’s weight and distributes engine power when cornering to gently usher you around every twist and turn in the road ahead.
This feature is Mazda-exclusive, so you’ll notice a difference in the performance of the MDX without it.
Front-Row Freedom
While engine performance helps create an exciting drive, it’s crucial that your family has plenty of space to stretch out as you power forward. In these SUVs, you’ll be treated to around 41 inches of legroom that even taller drivers will enjoy.
The Mazda CX-9 boasts 39.3 inches of front headroom. Driving the MDX may feel more cramped with only 38.5 inches of front headroom.
Ample Space for Your Entire Family
However, when it comes to rear passenger space, the 2022 Mazda CX-9 has more to offer:
When you’ve got a road trip coming up, you can feel confident choosing the Mazda CX-9 thanks to its included wiggle room. With more legroom available in the Mazda, bumping elbows and stepping on toes will be a thing of the past.
Prepared for Sights Unseen
When it comes to your family, nothing is more important than keeping them safe. With standard Smart Brake Support with Collision Warning in the 2022 Mazda CX-9 and the Acura MDX, you’ll have them covered in the event of a frontal collision.
If your SUV gets too close to a frontal obstacle, you’ll be alerted so you can make the necessary modifications. If needed, your SUV will even apply the brakes to bring your car to a complete and safe stop.
Advanced Protection All Around
The Mazda CX-9 has your back end covered as well with available Smart City Brake Support-Reverse. This feature will be helpful when you need to parallel park in a spot that’s a tight squeeze. You’ll have to be more diligent when backing up your MDX since a comparable feature isn’t available.
