How Does the Mazda CX-9 Compare to The Infiniti QX60?

Have you considered a new midsize SUV upgrade for your family travels around Saint Augustine throughout the week? Maybe you're searching for a reliable Mazda SUV that delivers powerful performance and comfort for those long road trips north during the summertime? With a long list of popular SUVs on today's market, the new Mazda CX-9 holds its own when compared to luxury SUV models like the Infiniti QX60. Read below to see the unique features offered by the Mazda CX-9 and how it comes out on top as the more affordable and practical SUV buy for the Jacksonville roads and Florida coastline.

Practicality

Both third row SUVs hold luxury seating availabilities for up to seven passengers as well as plenty of pep and performance for the roads and highways of Orange Park with the engine selection offered for these two. Due to the sluggish body size of the Infiniti, atop of its V6 engine which utilizes the CVT transmission, drivers will experience less punctuality and responsiveness when trying to keep up with Florida traffic.

The more sporty Mazda CX-9 offers less horsepower, but a four-cylinder turbo engine with a six-speed automatic transmission, which offers plenty of pep with 310 lb-ft of torque compared to the Infiniti engine's 270 lb-ft of torque. Along with the responsive SKYACTIV-G engine and a lighter driving style with the sleek and sporty design of the Mazda CX-9, the Infiniti may seem laggy to Middleburg drivers who are used to sedan or crossover driving styles.

Also, if you're seeking an all-wheel drive vehicle for the Florida terrains and weather conditions, a standard Mazda CX-9 has the available i-ACTIV AWD which is affordable and designed to give you the traction necessary for the slippery summer roads. Look forward to paying more for a standard Infiniti QX60, as well as extra for the trim levels that only include an all-wheel-drive feature.

Safety

If you're searching for an SUV that gives you your money's worth, the Mazda CX-9 delivers drivers with standard features for base trims like the Blind Spot Monitoring System, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Smart City Brake Support. Everything drivers could ask for when up against Saint Augustine traffic or when driving the Jacksonville city streets. Many of these features are available in the Infiniti QX60. However, drivers will pay more for similar technology along with other costly, and unnecessary interior extras like the Infiniti's excessive cabin trimmings.

Affordability

Nobody wants endless car payments, especially with all that's happening between the Gainesville and coastal Orange Park area. The Mazda CX-9 has a base price of $34,080, and for the Mazda CX-9 Signature trim, you can look to an MSRP of $45,365. The Infiniti QX60 starts at $44,250, and fully loaded car buyers can look forward to hefty payments when paying around $47,850.
