Safety

The CX-9 shows its commitment to safety and my family with a ton of airbags, including side curtain airbags that protect passengers in all three rows, as well as stability control with anti-roll control. Stability control and traction control work together to keep you on the road and moving in the right direction. Antilock brakes come with electronic brake-force distribution; all of these features are standard.

There are a couple of optional safety features available on the CX-9. The rearview camera comes with the Navigation package, available in the Touring and Grand Touring trim levels. The really cool blind spot warning system is only available on the Grand Touring model. The system uses sensors on the sides and rear of the crossover to warn you if there’s a car in your blind spot. If you engage your turn signal while there is a car in your blind spot, the CX-9 sounds a warning beep, just in case.

FAMILY LIFESTAGE

In Diapers: The wide, flat reclining seats mean you can install a variety of child-safety seats correctly.
In School: There’s tons of cupholders, and room for all your kids’ friends.
Teens: The second row slides back to create more legroom when you need it.
