2019 Mazda CX-9 Signature | Is THIS the Best 3-Row??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- For 2019 Mazda didn't settle with the CX-9. They upgraded the CX-9 to give it new features like Apple Carplay/Android Auto, Ventilated seats, and more. This top of the line 2019 CX-9 Signature trim is fully loaded and sits right under $50k which is getting spendy for a 3 row crossover. However, Mazda aims to place themselves in a more "premium" class to undercut much more expensive luxury options. Although it drives great, has decent pull from it's turbo, it suffers with its practicality and space relative to its large size. All in all, if you can manage with the space and 3rd row room, you'll love the way it drives and the premium vibe you get from it. Enjoy this 2019 Mazda CX-9 Signature review!

Personally, I really like the CX-9. It drives very well, feels rather premium, and offers nice features at each price point. However, the overall space/function relative to how long it is compared to other 3 row vehicles in its class make it difficult for me to recommend. It’s still a great vehicle and I’d love to hear what you all think as well! Thanks for watching! 😁
Check out the CX-5 full review & drive here: ua-cam.com/video/FDZYVYeFEoI/v-deo.html
Prime Autotainment, I think it is still worth recommending it just depends on which buyer. If the buyer is looking for cargo space as main factor then Atlas and Pilot but for reliability the. highlander...for Styling, driving dynamics, fuel economy & low NVH then this CX9 is worth recommending.
Can’t believe the forester or crv has more cargo space than this!? 😱 you also forgot about the lack of ac vents on the 3rd row.
Prime Autotainment Mazda’s seat is always comfortable not firm
Prime Autotainment Not sure mazda is allow touchscreen while you’re driving
Is it silent or noisy?
I watch almost every single video about cx 9 and This is the best review for it by all means
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
Excellent review! Very nicely done. Keep up the great work!
Thank you do much!
You have the best review of the CX 9 on youtube!
JohnnyClock thank you! Much appreciated! 👍
Agree
Cargo space is plenty for us. We owned a Ford Explorer with push button 3rd row seats, I think in the 8 years we owned it we opened them 3 time.
I own one and I love driving it!
A very honest, impartial, unbiased, balanced review .. 👍
Thank you!
That was a good review. I’m in the market to buy the signature model, but this video is making me want to hold off. Probably would try to wait for a 2020 Mazda cx 9. Again, great review. First time seeing you. I will definitely subscribe and check out more of your videos
Thank you very much! Not a bad idea to wait, should be impressive. I really appreciate it!
Was looking for the decibel readings. Did not find them listed below. Thanks.
I Love the CX-9
Outstanding review Nolan! Thank you! In your opinion, do you prefer the CX 9 or the CX 5? I am leaning towards purchasing the CX 5 Signature this spring. Keep up you excellent work!
Thank you very much! I’d go with the CX-5 over this. But I also don’t need a 3rd row right now and enjoy the more manageable and nimble size of the CX-5 and it still offers nearly everything 😁. Thanks again!
I test drove the CX-9 grand touring AWD 2018. I have noticed the cabin wasn’t quiet enough when driving on a high way. Did this improve in 2019?
I like the accent lighting on the grille. I think I would skip the rear entertainment, one because the screens seem so out of place the way they're placed on the back of the seats, the placement would've been more seamless if they were simply built in the headrest. Also, children have tablets now and can watch videos on them. Overall, I like the upgrades, but with the newer competition offering a lot more cargo/interior space, I think being a Mazda loyalist and dealer incentives are going to be a strong need to beat out the rivals. Great review, Nolan!
Thank you! 😁 I feel just like you do! I thought the entertainment system was silly too and especially for $2k...yikes. Couple tablets with headphones are much cheaper and easier.
My favorite SUV
Definitely the prettiest mid-size SUV as well as the best driving. I think they have definitely been successful in bring it upscale. If I was in the market for a mid-size upscale SUV, this would be high in the list. As far as a practical mid-size SUV, this ain’t it. Overall, I’d still go with the Subaru Ascent...a good riding, practical, well built SUV for less $.
I’m right there with ya! Certainly a pro con sheet could be made for the Cx9 and the cons are things others excel at. I always appreciate the input sir! 👍
Another great detailed review, love the looks of the CX-9. Best part, the back seat sunshade slipping though your hand Nolan 🖐🏻 sorry...I’m such a immature jerk most of the time, watched that part 5 times over 😜lol
Btw, any chance of you reviewing the new 2020 Kia Telluride in the future? 👍🏻 keep up the great work Bro
Haha thanks man! Yeah that was a whoopsie lol. I sure hope so! I’ve tried with my local Kia dealer and no luck. I have access to Kia press but it might be a little while. I’m still the “little guy” for the press vehicles but I’m gonna try to get it soon and expand to more brands/dealers! 👍
Prime Autotainment, sounds great Nolan, looking forward to future reviews Bro 🚗
Thank you, can’t wait to bring more cool vehicles to you!
Great review Nolan. I like Mazda, especially the styling. As far as buying one, I would not if I were in the market for a three row. Looks cramped.
If I were in the market for a three row, I’d probably hold off until the next gen Explorer.
Thanks man! I feel like you do. For a 3 row suv it’s not nearly as practical as some...and I’m super pumped to see that Explorer!
Not trying to be a jerk here but unfortunately with the Explorer comes Ford reliability.
You use the door cup holders for bottles.
Nice!! Are you at the point where pops can get one😋😛😝😜🤔
Brian Merrill gettin there 😁
That long bonnet looks good but I can imagine the challenge in trying to park this car. Would you consider to do a parking test review in a real world setting like inside an office building and in an normal sized parking square? It will be interesting to see how easy or difficult it is to park this car nose first. Keep up the good review.
Thank you! Yeah the length of the vehicle definitely makes a challenge when parking, but not too bad. I don’t have access to the vehicle anymore but it’s similar to other SUVs but certainly noticeable when going nose first
No worse than a pickup-++ it's all relative?
It is really about what you personally need Nd wnt
Drives very well. good power up to 80 mph. My main complaint is the air conditioning system is weak and had to be recharged at owner's expense. Cost me $175 after only 20,000 miles.
It definitely drives very well! That’s a bummer to hear. Sorry about that. The last Mazda3 I drove was in the summer and it seemed to struggle to keep up with the A/C. Weird
@@PrimeAutotainment ...perhaps this is a common problem in the design and engineering of Mazda's cooling systems. At $50K, this is borderline unacceptable. I also had to get my rims resurfaced due to peeling of the top paint layer AND the in-dash tablet began to form stress cracks from sun exposure so that was replaced too. Mazda did fix them both under the warranty, but still at 20K miles, this stuff should not have been happening. The poor placement of the infotainemnt system on top of the dash exposed to the sun often caused a warning message that it was "overheating and may shut down until the temperature reduced" is due to poor engineering flaw in my opinion. Still, overall, the car drives like a very responsive luxury sedan and very enjoyable otherwise. It's performance, handling and great looks are persuasive to to the point of it still feeling like a good buy.
the best ever
I'm getting one of these but $2000 for a couple tablets and headphones aren't worth it at all. You could get 2 bigger iPads, mounts and beats for that proce or less!
The Best
$50k 🤔, I’ll be damned!!!!
This is nice, but not enough for $50k.
I like the seats a lot.
Thank you Nolan 😊
Haha man I know. Everything is getting spendy! Thanks for watching as always!
Better off buying used. Bought a 2018 CX9 Grand Touring for 30K. Only 10K miles on it with 8 year/100,000 mi. warranty. Quietest, smoothest most comfortable car I've ever driven. Best looking car in my opinion too compared to the competition.
With discounts a CX-9 Signature can be had for around 42k in NH.
I absolutely hate that center console arm wrest. I don't know how that was accepted along with all the other designs Mazda nailed.
Sunshade fail at 8:39
It is will be nice if Mazda updates the CX9 and CX5 with the Mazda 3 infotainment and ergonomics.
Absolutely! That would really be nice, they did a good job on that new 3 and even the controls felt high quality
Cx 9 is the best
50k?huh
That center console is from Mercedes
I'll restrain myself and let my numerous comments about the CX-9 in other reviews speak for themselves. Just a brief comparison with the KIA Telluride. The KIA is over 2" shorter than the CX-9 and offers about 1/3 more passenger and cargo space! It has a standard V6 engine in a vehicle weighing over two tons compared to the CX-9's 2.5L turbo 4. The top level Signature trim in the CX-9 is impressive; the Telluride's is at least as impressive if not more so. Feature for feature from the infotainment system to numerous other amenities including the dual sunroofs, third seat features and cargo capacity behind the third row the Telluride ranks higher. All that at an MSRP more or less equal to the CX-9. Of course, the CX-9 can probably be purchased at a discount sitting on a dealer lot while the Telluride has waiting lists and "market adjustment" stickers at most KIA dealers. But that tells you something about the comparative value, as well.
@Forced Induction All true. To be fair, one advantage of being late to the party is that you get to see what everyone else is wearing and dress accordingly. KIA (and Hyundai) not only do a noteworthy job of packing their new models with almost all of the features of the competition and more, KIA has an excellent record of listening to their customers and updating their models between major refreshes much less between model generations. When we replaced our 2012 Sorento my wife made a list of the things that annoyed her about it. None was a major issue but she wanted a vehicle that corrected those annoyances. Literally every single issue (and more) had been addressed in the 2018 version.
Even though they get grouped in the same category the CX-9 and Telluride are very different SUV's. Telluride is more like a poor mans Range Rover and is more rugged and off -road worthy and appropriately boxy. CX-9 is more of a poor mans Q7 ( same interior dimensions as CX-9 btw... seems to work for Audi). Much more of a sport's wagon type vehicle with lower ground clearance and more tuned for spirited on road driving and has a totally different body shape going for a long, sleek and beautiful look. It's the prettiest girl at the bar by far. If you need the extra 10-15 cubic feet and don't care about driving dynamics by all means I would get something else and the Telluride ( if it proves to be reliable in 2 years) would be the way I'd go. Regardless of it's bigger displacement, the Kia's V-6 has almost 50 ft lbs less torque than the turbo 4 in the Mazda. The CX-9 will get you to 60 mph just as quick and when you get to that first sweeper you'll appreciate what Mazda was able to do with a 4500 lb SUV. The handling and road feel are incredible for such a large sled. Unfortunately that doesn't matter to 95% of the "drivers" out there so if you don't care about driving I'm sure the Telluride would do. To over pay for one now is just silly. A year from now they'll be on sale. Right now you could get a CX-9 Signature for 6-7k less ( maybe more off than that) than the Telluride.
@@justinfontaine5539 Hey Justin, good to see you again. :) You make the best possible case for the bloated CX-9. Unfortunately, trying to cast the CX-9 as the "prettiest girl at the bar" is a bridge way too far. Perhaps the prettiest girl at fat camp. If you're looking for "incredible" "handling and road feel," a two ton plus 17 ft long crossover is not even in the game.
You're right about one thing, though. You can get a CX-9 for much less $$$ than a Telluride. That's largely because CX-9 sales have been dropping year on year since June of 2018.
If I'm looking for incredible handling I'll drive my C7 Corvette. But we are talking about having to drive an SUV type vehicle and not feeling like your driving a wallowy min-van which is what many of the other entries feel like. The fact that the body is a few inches longer makes no difference and in fact the longish wheelbase is 115" helps creates a plush ride on the highway while still handling quite well. Have you ever thrown one around on a mountain road? It's pretty amazing for what it is and every single review rates it at the absolute top in road manners. I'm glad they don't sell as many CX-9's as all the other dreck out there. Makes it even more premium.
How are those new Sorento prices and sales doing now that the incredibly better Telluride is out for the same price in top trims? If that rig is all it's cracked up to be and reliable the Sorento will take a big hit. If someone offered you a choice right now between a top spec Telluride or a top spec Sorento same money, I'm pretty sure which one you'd take. @@stephenhendricks103
@@stephenhendricks103 BTW look at Toyota's new Highlander trying to recreate some of the same lines as the CX-9. They stretched the hood, made it longer with same/less cargo space and dropped the rear roof line to make it look more sleek. Hmmm. Sound familiar? Too bad it didn't work and they uglied it up with those goofy side lines and rear end. It was the vehicle I wanted to see before I got the CX-9 but now I'm glad I didn't wait because this new Highlander is a swing and a miss. Go over to to the Forums. The Toyota Highlander fan boys hate it.
I bought Mazda before and never again. The used value is shiit. Nobody wanted used Mazda and dealers will give you below trade in rough condition.
Dang sorry to hear that Kenny!
You got less than what you wanted for a car in rough shape. Why was it in rough shape? The resale on 2015+ mazdas is pretty good.
