We traded a 2015 CX-5 for a 2019 CX-9 Touring. Differences I would say from CX-5 to CX-9: 1.) Front Seats For me, and other folks that have medium to wide shoulders, the upper bolstering of the front seats is a bit tight. The seats themselves are not necessarily bad, but the upper bolstering...

I don't know why its necessary to only ship the CX-9 against other 3 row SUV's, most of the time the 3rd row will stay folded anyways. If that is your qualifier for comparison then I guess the RDX and XC60 would be out. However, the base models of both offerings are just as comfortable in the...

I believe someone already mentioned it above, but the seats are some of the worst design that I have seen in a modern vehicle. The leather itself is of good quality, its the ergonomics, too narrow at the top. Some who have noticed the issue have gotten used to it. I will admit, it doesn't...

Agree that snug seats will help with muscle fatigue, I think the problem here is the seats aren't proportioned properly for a large range of people. The bottom and hip bolsters are great. Its the top of the seat that doesn't seem to make sense. If you have any type of shoulder mass or a wider...

I can't answer 1 or 3 since I have the Touring model with black leather interior. No HUD in the Touring. As for the seats, I am coming from a 2016 CX-5 and our 2019 CX-9 has objectively smaller seats. I like the leather itself, the problem has to do with the bolstering. There are other...

I didn't see much talk of lease deals in this thread and not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes. We traded in a CX-5 that we had financed and were even up on, trade price was 16,500 (2016 GT). Bought the CX-9 a few weeks ago now. Its a Touring with the premium package. I...

A few posters have commented that the bolsters soften up over time and the seats became more comfortable. I am hoping this holds true and the seats eventually blend into the background of an otherwise solid vehicle. For the time being my wife is driving and I am going back to our Camry. I am...

Thanks Roadrutz. I believe your point about working down to price than up to spec makes sense, BMW can charge extra to put in bolster adjustment, Mazda would price themselves out with an increase. Reason we bought the car was mostly cost based so I knew there would be scarifies. Did you feel...

This is my first post after sifting through the site, so I hope this post finds its way into the right area. A little background, my wife and I previously owned a 2015 CX-5 that we were looking to trade for something with more room (have a kid and another on the way). Looked at just about...
