2018 Mazda CX-9 vs 2018 Toyota Highlander Comparison: Design

When considering the design of your next new midsize SUV, it's hard not to first scrutinize the looks. While the sleek and sophisticated exterior design of the new 2018 Mazda CX-9 is certain to leave a great impression no matter where you go, the audacious design of the new Toyota Highlander likely appeals to a much narrower group of onlookers. Of course, looks aren't everything. Consider what you're getting for the money with each model. The new 2018 Mazda CX-9 comes with a similar price tag as the Toyota Highlander. However, standard features like LED headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more cargo space with all seats in place make it clear that the engineers at Mazda designed the Mazda CX-9 with a superior value than the midsize SUV from Toyota.

2018 Mazda CX-9 vs 2018 Toyota Highlander Comparison: Performance

When we looked at the facts behind the performance of the new 2018 Mazda CX-9 and the 2018 Toyota Highlander, we were surprised at how much better your drive can be in the new midsize SUV from Mazda. You'll get significantly more power, better fuel economy, and a wider footprint for greater stability than what comes at the start of the new Toyota Highlander lineup. Since the new Mazda CX-9 comes standard with a turbocharged engine, which isn't available in the Toyota Highlander, you'll enjoy substantially more torque for climbing hills, passing slower traffic, and leaving the line with authority. What's more, there are a variety of details that work together to offer a far better driving experience in the Mazda CX-9 compared to the Toyota Highlander. For instance, the multi-link rear suspension that comes with the Mazda has been precision tuned for ideal power management to the ground while keeping you and your passengers comfortable. Instead of going into the physics of this superior suspension, we think you'll be better served by experiencing the drive in a new Mazda CX-9 with us at Baglier Mazda.

2018 Mazda CX-9 vs 2018 Toyota Highlander Comparison: Safety

From distracted drivers to unpredictable road conditions, the safety of you and your passengers is a top priority when choosing your next new midsize SUV. While the new 2018 Mazda CX-9 and the 2018 Toyota Highlander are recognized among the safer vehicles available, there are some important advantages that come with a new Mazda. Both models did well in independent crash and safety tests, but it's always better to avoid danger in the first place. That's why the engineers at Mazda equipped every new Mazda CX-9 standard with blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert. These are features that will cost more on a Toyota Highlander as upgrades. There are many more safety advantages that come with a new midsize SUV from Mazda, and we look forward to showing them to you in person when you stop by for a test drive.
