SUVs can be subtle

The Mazda CX-9, for me, has the perfect blend of luxury and driving appeal of a sedan and a road presence and stance of an SUV. I particularly love to be behind the steering wheel for most of the times, and the driving dynamics of the Mazda CX-9 feels just spot on. The overall seating height is neither too high nor too low, which makes up for a great driving posture. Thanks to its versatility of being a seven seater with multiple seating configurations, the Mazda CX-9 feels spacious and comfortable enough to ferry seven people with ease. At the same time, the boot space is capacious enough after removal of third row of seats. This has proven very helpful when I am driving across cities, which happens to be the majority of my driving cycle. However, I do wish that the exterior styling was a bit more dramatic than it actually is.
