2019 Mazda CX-9

Last Updated: September 19, 2019

Weak Sales: Compared to other midsize SUVs, the Mazda CX-9 is one of the slowest sellers in the segment. Dealerships have sold 13.4 percent fewer CX-9 models this year compared to figures from the same period last year. Class sales leaders like the Toyota Highlander are outselling the CX-9 nearly 10 to 1. Demand has declined across Mazda’s entire lineup, with dealerships moving 11.5 percent fewer cars and SUVs so far this year compared to 2018.

Above Average Base Price: In the highly competitive midsize SUV segment, the CX-9’s $32,280 base price is about $1,300 above the class average for similarly equipped models. On the other hand, a fully-loaded CX-9 is priced about $2,500 below the segment average for top trims.

Time to Buy: With such low sales, you may be able to find some great bargains at the dealership. Check out this month’s Mazda deals for financing and lease offers to bring the cost even lower. If the price for this option is too high and you’re willing to shop around, consider the Kia Sorento. Its base price is about $6,000 below the CX-9's and it was named the 2019 Best 3-Row SUV for the Money.
