2008 Mazda CX-9

SUV Ratings:

The Mazda CX-9 crossover is almost like a sleeper agent. It doesn't look like an SUV and it doesn't drive like one. The CX-9 interior is very car-like, and the dynamics are closer to a sport sedan than a sport utility. So in some ways, it's surprising to find the Mazda CX-9's third row of seats, room for seven, plentiful cargo space, and a high-riding stance.
