The Mazda CX-9 is arguably the best seven-seat crossover available. It successfully mixes great styling, agile handling and a spacious interior into one highly competitive package. Power comes from the 273-hp 3.7-litre V6 with a six speed automatic transmission. The CX-9 comes in front- or all-wheel drive. The leather-covered seats are more supportive than any competition, and the spacious cargo area swallows plenty of stuff with the third-row in place.

Pros

Styling, handling, power

Cons

Pricey compared to competition
