Especially in white. In a city where every other vehicle is a Bentayga, F-Pace, Cayenne, Macan, M, Q, or AMG SUV the cx-9 is what catches my eye. It’s absolutely striking, a fantastic stylistic standout for the often boring to a fault midsize SUV lineup. Mazda has been pretty universally applauded for their design the last few years, and they certainly deserve it.

Unfortunately this is one of those “looks decent in photographs, phenomenal in person” cars. So, keep your eyes open! And pray for hotter versions of the Mazda lineup in the future, or at least some good aftermarket support!

I think it looks amazing as well. I’m a huge Mazda fanboy, though.

They look weird as hell with that big gaping maw, with disproportionately tiny headlights.

This is still my fave, but the mighty Maz comes really close.

It’s even better from the rear, IMO—it’s basically an Alfa Stelvio.

It looks nice but that grille is a bit too large

Our Mazda store had some on our lot for a couple days while they reorganized.

Meh.

Outside of the canted forward big grille/little headlights it’s just generic crossover 00734

For an SUV to be the “best-looking SUV,” it has to first be an SUV.

I’ve seen 3, 2 black 1 white one and they look fantastic. It has a ton of presence, the lines are very clean. Also Mazda has stepped up their interiors on their higher trimmed models.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the escalade, but they’re on opposite spectrums of good design. The both look great, but couldn’t be further apart. And wait... Since when is an escalade a “Midsize” anything

We can’t fight the times any longer. It’s an SUV.

But I’ll never call BMW’s crossover monstrosities coupes so maybe we can agree on that at least

The grill is the fucking worst. If it was flush, it wouldn’t be terrible, but it sticks out inches. It’s awful. Their design language only works on the 6.
