Inside the 2021 Mazda CX-9 and Honda Pilot, you’ll find cabins that are as spacious as they are cozy, and as stylish as they are convenient. With three rows of seating in both SUVs, you’ll find tons of room to be the carpool parent for weekend soccer games. The Mazda CX-9 offers 39.4 inches of legroom in the second row, while the Pilot follows closely with 38.4 inches.
The Mazda CX-9 also comes standard with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, and heated front seats, so you can ride in style. Unfortunately, you’ll have to upgrade to higher Honda Pilot trim levels to get these features.
Additionally, the Mazda CX-9 also comes standard with a 10.25-inch full-color touchscreen that features Mazda Connect™. This is your source for connectivity features such as Bluetooth®. The Honda Pilot comes standard with a 5-inch LCD screen, and you’d have to upgrade to enjoy luxurious amenities again.
While everything we’ve discussed so far is important when choosing your next SUV, the features that matter the most are those that will keep you and your loved ones safe on the road. Luckily, you’ll find plenty of advanced driver-assist features in both the Mazda CX-9 and Honda Pilot.
The prominent features include:
If you will be towing, however, the Mazda CX-9 comes standard with a Trailer Stability Assist, something the Pilot doesn’t offer on the base trim.
While it’s clear that both the 2021 Mazda CX-9 and the 2021 Honda Pilot are great options for your next family-friendly ride, the Mazda CX-9’s standard comfort and connectivity features—along with the strong engine—give it our vote for a test drive.
