- Mazda build vehicles for people who love to drive. The CX-9 is a perfect representation of this and there are some changes for 2021. Under the hood is a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 producing 250HP & mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Power gets to the ground through AWD system. On the outside of the CX-9 there are some changes to the grill and front fascia. On the inside you will find an ALL NEW infotainment system, and the Signature trim brings the highest level of materials. Is the updated 2021 Mazda CX-9 Signature the midsize SUV you want to BUY?

*I’m a Honda guy but I gotta hand it to Mazda on this one.*
Yess that thing is sexy

I have the 2020 and it's an amazing ride. Tight, responsive, comfortable, fast, powerful....amazing
Same!
Hello Honda Guy.
Raiti still working on Christmas Eve, that's dedication to his fans! 😁👍
You guys are part of the family! Thanks for being so supportive!
If it was Shmee, he won't work on bank holidays
UA-cam kept showing me an Ad for this car. Guess it was meant for me to see the review.
It's a sign!
After test driving the Highlander, Pilot, Telluride and Palisade, we weren't impressed with the handling, quality (or lack of) and ride with any of them. So after viewing a number of Mazda UA-cam videos and researching the various SUV forums, that convinced us to at least test drive a '21 CX-9. Whoa, it was impressive and it wasn't even on our short list. It was a beautifully appointed, smooth riding, shifting and riding car, so we ended up buying a white CX-9 Grand Touring. For a big vehicle with AWD it drives like a much smaller one. We get 22.4 mpg in city driving, and no engine "start-stop" which was a pleasant surprise. Couldn't be happier.
I'm very pleased with my 2019 CX-9 Grand Touring, it has done very well. Merry Christmas
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership! Merry Christmas Kenneth!
I almost boughy a 2019 cx9, because i love the way they look and drive. But then i had to quit. And there is only one reason why i am happy i didn't buy it then. It is the screen. It was too small for the car. I think the infotainment system is really cool and easy. Drives the best out of all the suv i test drove. I am really looking forward for what 2021 has for me, because, with the big screen, i really want one
@@sergiumatias3 good choice.
At the end of its service cycle our(Edmunds)2008 Buick Enclave CX had accumulated 24,061 miles, enough to account for $994 in depreciation. Nevertheless, the Enclave depreciated only a total of 23 percent to $28,841 as rated by our True Market Value (TMV®).
This is a remarkably small amount of depreciation for a car in this category, especially when you consider the overall decline in utility sales. In comparison, the ongoing depreciation of our long-term Hyundai Veracruz stands at 32 percent while our Mazda CX-9 has lost 33 percent of its value.
This suggests to us that the GM crossovers like the Buick Enclave have already firmly established their identity in the marketplace, and the huge pool of Tahoe and Yukon owners provides a huge base of potential buyers.

CX 9 is an amazing family SUV with the right amount of power & comfort! Just got one 2 months ago ✅
Congrats Bryan! You are so very right!
you can really feel ,the passion Joe has for giving great information on all these vehicles , any vehicle im thinking of buying , I check on RR first to see the vedio thx u RR !!
Thanks for saying that! It really means so much!
I swear the universe wants me to get a Mazda as my first car cause I keep seeing CX-5s around me
Same. I've had my eye on the CX-5 for some time now. Every time I'm out I see these, or the CX-9. I'm definitely getting one of the two!
Joe. Thanks for this review. I've been a Mazda fan for years. I've parked 5 different Mazdas in my garage since 2002. At one time (2002) both my wife and I each owned and drove a Mazda6.
Merry Christmas raiti fam
And man I love the cx9 so much,especially that interior it’s so gorgeous
That's so awesome of you to say!
I just got mine a few days before Christmas!!! It’s an amazing SUV.....Very elegant inside and out ❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas raiti.
May god bless you abundantly.
Thank you Leyon! I hope you have a blessed Christmas!
Mazda has always done a great job. I’ve never driven one but they say it’s a excellent driving experience. Love the wood trim and brown leather. Love Raiti’s Rides!
I am so glad that you are digging this one. We love that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!

Thank you Victor
You were super busy in Texas, I see. Nice Mazda. Thank you for your awesome camera work, Lori!
Tell me about it?! It was worth it especially this year with not to many opportunities to do events.
The CX9 and CX5 are great vehicles. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Merry Christmas to you, Lori, your families, and all your subscribers.
🎄 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You are so right Larry! Thanks for saying that wonderful message! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Not a good value.
"...the CX-9 multi-point inspection, the service cost was a hefty $94.22."
That is expensive every 5,000 miles and too much interior wear for the mileage.

Joe... the world cannot live without your amazing reviews... but they can on Christmas :) I hope you are taking a break and that you and the family have a great Christmas!!
Happy Holidays Raiti's! 2020 was a great year for you, next will be even better!
Thank you for saying that and believing in us! Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas. I have the 2018 CX9 signature and enjoy the drive. I agree with all the zoinks. Thank Lori for all you do
Merry Christmas to you as well! I appreciate you giving Lori some love!
The first time I had seen the previous gen CX-9 was when I want to the Grand Canyon and I was like what is this wonderful SUV .

Merry Christmas right back at you!
Thanks Joe and Merry Christmas. I currently have three Mazda vehicles due to reliability and no CVT. I purchased a 2020 Mazda 3 Touring based on your review for my son who is learning to drive. My wife's CX9 is great but time to upgrade maybe to the 2021. At the price point I have to zonk for no key fob remote start but you can use the My Mazda app.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your ownership! Merry Christmas!

Good morning! Got a different kind of request here...you are incredibly talented at explaining and presenting. Wondering if you can do a video on PPF and Ceramic coatings with your thoughts...
Hey Joey! Thanks for another great review, brother. And for illuminating the smooth, classy style of this SUV. Love Mazda and how they carefully craft all their vehicles-even a big gal like this CX-9. They sweat the details and it shows. Hey!! As you are Italian I thought you would approve-I just finished a nice plate of eggplant Parm and brocolli rabe. Delicious, man. Being half Italian-thank you Mom!-I love to eat lol. :):):) JV Johnny

@@normt430 Thats why I never buy new vehicles, only used one
synthetic. make sure you get that 25% off MSRP discount on the Buick and you'll be miles ahead in thr case of insurance total loss or a later trade-in.
"...MSRP on our 2016 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD was $43,620. In one year we rolled the odometer up to 22,326 miles. In this condition, the Edmunds TMV Calculator valued the CX-9 at $31,096 based on a private-party sale. Depreciation was rather high, at nearly 29 percent of the original MSRP based on a private-party sale." Edmunds
You need to know something about "traction" on Mazda SUVs. I have two 2021, AWDs...CX5 and CX9. Great SUVs but the OEM tires suck. I changed them with Vredestein Quatrac Pro; wet traction is phenomenal. Also the tires have less rolling resistance, hence MUCH smoother ride. Even my wife who is NOT a car person noticed the difference in the ride. ALSO, for those in snow country, the tires are Severe Snow Service Rated (mountain symbol on the tire). "NO" I don't work for Vredestein, I just live by something my late father taught me when I got my first car many, many years ago, "Never go cheap on tires or brakes, they are your life line." Keep your great videos coming!
Will you suggest the carbon edition over the signature? What about cx5 signature or cx9 carbon money wise? I do not really need a 6 seater.
Happy holidays Joe!
Same to you Don!
A Christmas Eve Mazda video?! Merry Christmas to me!!
You are awesome Robby! Merry Christmas man!
@@RaitisRides the new interior of the CX-9 bodes well for the Mazda 6 re-design. THAT is what I’m waiting for.
I just bought the 2021 CX9 signature in Machine Grey. We were originally looking at the Mercedes GLC or GLB or Audi Q7 or the BMW X7. But we wanted all of the driver assistance features without having to spend so much. The other cars had only blind spot monitoring at their base price in the upper 40s. This car had all the latest driver assistance features and top of the line cameras and screen. And the interior is at the same high luxury level as the others. And the shape and aggressive hood looks HOT. Especially when the accent grille lights are on. We bought it for ~43,500 Christmas sale with mud guards and cargo nets.
It handles just like my 2016 Mazda 6. So sporty and tight. And totally worth it to run premium fuel to get the extra horsepower! The adaptive cruise helps me a lot with my commute to and from Manhattan. And the adaptive lights are great in the upstate curvy roads. I commute 3 hours daily with heavy NYC traffic and mountainous Upstate NY roads.
The one compromise: The cargo space and 3rd row is a tad smaller than the palisade and the telluride. I had to remove the cargo bottom cover in order to barely fit our uppababy vista stroller without having to put down the backseats.
Some ppl don’t like the middle console but it helps us since we have a baby in the second row for all her toys and bottles.
2 weeks in. I am in love with our CX9!
I love Raitis rides. He encouraged me to get among my other potential choices for the cx9. Got a great deal on the 2020 signature and as a first time Mazda owner I LOVE it. It lacks in the space compared to a pilot, hi lander, and ruggedness to the grand Cherokee limited, but the interior is similar to a Lexus hands down and the cx9 drives like a car. I’m just upset that they made a larger screen this year and updated the infotainment system, lol.
Hello joe Merry Christmas and have a nice Christmas Day 🎄 btw I like the Mazda
Thank you for letting me share it with you! Merry Christmas to you George!
I love Mazda car specially the cx-9 and the CX-5. You can't be wrong with the color whatever you choose is always appealing to the eye, I love the Soul Red Crystal but this white is so attractive too. The interior is amazing too.👍👍
Thanks for the video, Joe. The knee AC for middle row and zero AC for third row is a big ZONK from Texas!
AGREED!
Thats a nice SUV, over 310 lb ft of torque for a 4 banger even with a turbo charger is pretty impressive, merry xmas to you and Lori as well!
You are so very right! Merry Christmas!
Not all glory when it drives you toward the ditch.
"...the CX-9 AWD system doesn't send power to the rear wheels quickly enough, which can result in torque steer if you need to accelerate away from a stop quickly."
" In dry conditions, the system is designed to minimize the amount of torque it sends to the rear wheels, which means during full-throttle acceleration, the CX-9 and its 310 lb-ft of torque will chirp the front tires and then proceed to torque-steer, leaving the driver to wrestle with the steering wheel. Considering the AWD control module is monitoring both the accelerator position and steering angle, I feel like the moment the accelerator pedal is depressed fully, power should be moved to the rear to mitigate the effects of all of that torque on the front wheels." Motor Trend
Merry Christmas Joe and Lori !!
We love you too! Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
I went to go test drive a CX-5 a couple days ago and I am impressed. I have driven Subaru for 15+ years and am leaning heavily towards Mazda! Steering is a bit too precise but I'm sure that is an acquired taste like sushi as is the gas pedal. One of my friends has a CX-9 and that's what I got me leaning towards Mazda.
The cx5 is nice but pales in comparison to even the touring cx9. Its more planted on road and more luxurious inside
Great video! What brand watch are you wearing on your wrist?
Good video merry Christmas Eve guys
Happy Holidays... another great video... I want to know which drives better this or the Highlander??? I like both and want your opinion...
Thanks Wisam! Happy holidays to you my friend! The CX-9 is a way better driver.
Thank you sir....
Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas to you!
Nice vehicle, but more importantly, Happy Holidays to Joe and Lori.
..... Maybe Santa will leave a M5 COMPETITION in my driveway😁
Thanks man! Happy Holidays to you and your family! Have you been good this year?
I’m still running a 2013 cx9, looking to upgrade to one of the remodeled ones 2016+. So far, looks very promising.
Great work joe !
Thanks Aly! You are so awesome!
I'm getting the same one this summer same color everything definitely congrats 👏 .
Great review. Those seats look straight out of an Audi. Thanks for the video.
Great review, Not sure if it just me or does the rear end look almost exactly like the back of the Enclave.
I totally see it now Tristan!

Merry Christmas to you and Lori! Love your videos! I'm all in with Mazda...will get one when I retire within 2 years...planning on a CX-5 for now, but the CX-9 is very interesting! I'm a bachelor and not sure I need all the extra length with the CX-9 except for maybe trips...thinking a trailer hitch for one or two bikes on the CX-5 would get me by. Loved your comparison video on the CX-5 vs CX-9....any new thoughts on the two? I'm 5'9 180 pounds. Thinking the CX-5 seats are plenty wide. 2023 CX-5 is supposed to get an inline 6 and may be longer...
Wish the lighting was better to show the "treasure chest" in the back..
Merry Christmas Allen! I would go CX-5 to be honest.
@@RaitisRides That's where I am headed! Thanks Joe! Merry Christmas and safe travels back home!
Cx5 seats suck. Diff in the 9. The 9 is a better value. Im single and loving the 9

Would be great if you could connect the Android auto and carplay to show how it shows up on the new screen..
That is a great point! Thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful car. Fun review.
Excellent review :) how’s the sound system?
Thanks Quinn! The sound system is great!
Merry Christmas!!! 2,5 l motor is very little for this car. I think 3.6 l V6 more suitable or Mazda intent in the future use hybrid mode with 2.5l motor.
Treasure chest! Great idea. That’ll work on the lil’ Rugrats
AGREED!
My wife and I decided on this car in Soul Red with the captain chairs in the mid row. Cost 51k+
With the 100k/7yr warranty and GAP insurance... I love it
Btw, my second Mazda and I also own
Cx-5 with 97k. I never buy the same car company usually like to have a Toyota. We were going to buy the Hybrid Plat Toy Highlander and opted for this because it's Suspension number 1 and the driving dynamics the Mazda offers. Zoom Zoom.
Merry Christmas to you and lori have you seen the new Mercedes amg black series it is a beast will you do a review on the McLaren 675 lt Merry Christmas Joe
I did see tat Antonio! I would love to do some on throttle action in that!
We want to buy one…not sure with what model to go with, signature or sports?
Hey dude great video!
Quick questions, i got one 2020 in soul red color but the outside color is different than the inside doors and the hood looks like matte is that normal? Second is it possible to switch the old info to the newest?
Thanks 🙏🏼
I have never seen that kind of issue with the Soul Red pain. Sorry you can not switch the infotainment systems.
Thanks for replying, is it possible to send you some pics of the concern I’m talking about?
Loving my 2019 cx9 😁
Joe Raiti is the best in the biz. Except for I was only able to fit 11 snickers in the center console. On throttle....lol
Merry Christmas!, no touchscreen is a big zonk for me.
Why is it so hard to find a comprehensive video that explains how to use the features in the vehicle? Most are sales videos or talk about how many cup holders or somebodies opinion on the styling aspects of the car.
I don't understand why car reviewers and journalists hype up the larger wheels. There's a big price jump when you're buying tires gor 16 inch wheels to 18 inch and then even more going up to 20 inch wheels.
Didn't realize at first but the control wheel works like a joystick too. Not only can you twist it or do a push straight down but you can tilt the wheel left, right, up and down. Discovered this when I was trying to clear out the radio station favorites.
Merry Christmas Joe. Now go spend time with Lori. You're NOT suppose to work on Christmas Eve. You didn't get the memo?
Thanks for saying that but the Raiti's Rides family is very important to me!
My company car is an 18 signature CX9. Great vehicle that’s underrated
I want to buy a cx9 but I'm afraid it'll be outdated model soon with the new cx generation coming on 2023.. what you guys think?
Hi Joe are you considering make some 4K videos?
I don’t have any complaints about it. I think they did a really good job, some things I might not be a fan on but I’ll get over it.
Thanks for letting me share it with you1
@@RaitisRides I appreciate you doing so
Not for the price. Anyone who buys this doesn't realize what else is out there.
Great review as always!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Anyone who buys this realizes mazda toyota and lexus is the best to get
As always... beautiful and luxurious Mazda! It's already 2021, and I still cannot go out buying this car with NO rear A/C vent as part of its third row - It's really big zonk for me. :(
I understand it’s for safety, but I’d be frustrated with no touch screen. It’s a beautiful car, but also it looks small on the inside. I would like a bit more space. Still very nice though! I’d want tan interior with lighter tint.
Good call!
What happens at the Texas Truck Rodeo??
I like the minimalist styling of Mazda. Timeless design.
really good suv , 3 things mazda needs to improve , instrument cluster at least half , third row vent ac, ventilated back seat. wonder there was Hud 🤔 for 47k hmmm naaa , finally nailed the navi screen , good job J&L 👍🏻 for putting about these awesome videos
