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. The Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission gives you agile handling, whether you’re navigating busy city streets or cruising down the highway. You’ll spend more time road-tripping and less time sitting at the gas station thanks to the Grand Touring’s highway rating of 28 miles per gallon.

  1. Features That Keep You Comfortable

The Grand Touring’s interior was designed to keep you comfortable on even the longest trips. The driver’s seat features lumbar support while the second-row bench seating offers power tilt and slide functionality for easy access to the third row. You can also opt for second-row captain’s chairs and a center console equipped with storage, cup holders, and two USB charging ports. Third-row passengers can also take advantage of dual USB outlets.

All of the Grand Touring’s seating is upholstered in luxurious Nappa leather. A power-sliding moonroof with sunshade lets you enjoy scenic views and exhilarating breezes. The Grand Touring gives you up to 71.2 cubic feet of cargo space, so you’ll always have plenty of room for your travel gear.

  1. Technology That Keeps You Connected

Wherever you’re headed, you can count on the Grand Touring to help you stay connected with the world around you. The Mazda Connect Infotainment System, which you can operate using a 9-inch center display, features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. You can access navigation tools, music, podcasts, and more. Your road trip playlist will sound fantastic when played over the 12-speaker Bose sound system. Keep in touch with your loved ones back home with hands-free phone calls and text messages.

  1. Innovation That Keeps You Safe

You can enjoy your summer road trip with peace of mind thanks to the Grand Touring’s innovative safety features. Blind-spot monitoring lets you know when another vehicle enters your blind spot zones. A rear cross-traffic alert warns you when traffic or pedestrians are approaching as you’re backing out of a driveway or parking space. Radar cruise control will adjust your preset cruising speed accordingly when there are changes in traffic. Smart city brake support can detect vehicles and pedestrians that are in front of the Grand Touring, applying the brakes when necessary.

These are just a few of the reasons why the 2020 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring is the perfect choice for your summer road trip. Schedule a test drive so you can experience it for yourself.
