a charcoal 2020 Mazda CX-9 being driven across a bridge with trees in the background. | Mazda dealer in Ellisville, MOIf you’re planning a summer road trip, you need a vehicle that is reliable and gives you plenty of room for family, friends, and fun. The 2020 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring definitely fits the bill. Here are four reasons why it’s perfect for your summer road trip.

  1. Performance You Can Depend On

You can count on the CX-9 Grand Touring to give you optimal performance every time you take the wheel. Equipped with Mazda’s exclusive Skyactiv-G 2.5T engine featuring a dynamic pressure turbocharger, the Grand Touring makes any trip a thrilling experience. The innovative engine produces 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque, which not only gives you instant acceleration but also allows you to tow up to 3,500 pounds.

If you opt for the i-Activ all-wheel-drive model, you’ll be able to go off-road with confidence.

Close up view of the driver side beaming headlight of a silver 2020 Mazda3 sedan. | Mazda dealer in Ellisville, MOWhile driving is a necessity of modern life, it can be stressful and, in some cases, even dangerous. However, you can give yourself peace of mind by subscribing to a roadside assistance service. Here are six reasons why you need roadside assistance.

  1. You Have a Flat Tire

Even if you drive carefully and make sure that your tires are properly maintained, in some instances, a flat tire is unavoidable. While you might know how to change a tire, you might not want to attempt the task on your own if traffic is heavy or if it’s late at night. In many cases, it’s safer to have roadside assistance change the tire for you. You may even need to have your vehicle towed if a blowout causes severe damage.

  1. You’ve Run Out of Fuel

Running out of fuel is actually a fairly common problem for drivers. Many drivers rely on the fuel light in their vehicles to tell them when they need to fill up. However, these lights aren’t always 100% accurate. You may have even less fuel in your car than you think. If you do run out of fuel, your roadside assistance service will deliver enough fuel to your location to get you to the nearest gas station.

  1. You’ve Locked Yourself Out

It’s very easy to get distracted while you’re exiting your vehicle, especially if you’re driving with kids or pets. This distraction can lead you to leave your keys in the car and lock yourself out. Roadside assistance can come to your location and retrieve your keys for you.

Close view of the front driver side of a gray 2020 Mazda CX-5 parked by a sidewalk with a woman wearing a long gray jacket standing beside it. | Mazda dealer in Ellisville, MOJust how powerful is the 2020 Mazda CX-5? This small crossover SUV may surprise you. Not only does it pump out plenty of horsepower, but the CX-5 also delivers a fun-loving performance. It’s also a huge draw for driving enthusiasts, who can’t get enough of its quick throttle response and precision steering. Mazda’s small crossover has a lot to offer luxury-minded drivers as well, who love its smooth, quiet ride.

More In Power

When you’re cruising in the CX-5, you have to be careful. This sporty crossover is so quiet, committed, and powerful, that you might find yourself traveling way faster than you thought to go.

Under the hood, the 2020 CX-5 sports a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. In the Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trim levels, this engine makes 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. When you hit the throttle in these models, you can expect a quick response and even quicker acceleration.

The Grand Touring Reserve and Signature trims utilize a turbocharged version of this engine, boosting output to 227 horses and 310 pound-feet of torque (or 250 horses and 320 pound-feet of torque with premium gas). As you might expect, CX-5 crossovers with this engine are even snappier, getting you up to speed in no time. Models with this turbocharged version also come standard with sporty all-wheel drive, able to better help you swing around corners and maintain precision in rainy conditions.

Both versions of the engine are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. On paper, the CX-5 engine certainly looks impressive, but in real-world driving, it’s something else altogether. And we mean that in the best possible way.
