Mid-Size The 2020 Mazda CX-9

As much as we'd all love to have a Mazda Miata for our daily driver, grown-up lives come with grown-up responsibilities—and the 2020 CX-9 is a great compromise. Its sharp handling and gutsy turbocharged four-cylinder engine helps it channel Mazda's lightweight sports car while hauling the kids or taking home groceries from the supermarket. Swooping exterior styling wraps around an interior that would look at home in a luxury car, and Mazda offers plenty of tech features that SUV buyers want most. All this comes with a few compromises, though, as the CX-9 has one of the least roomy third rows of seats and a smaller-than-average cargo capacity.
