No doubt CX-9 looks aggressive more luxurious and gas efficient
The new highlander does nothing for me when it passes by .. but I always look twice when I see that cx9.
Honestly, both are beautiful cars in their own unique way. The CX-9 gives more of a mature/sophisticated appearance and feel. Whereas the Highlander give more space and a comfortable feel. Either way you cannot go wrong with either choice. My personal preference here would be the CX-9.
Something Should be noted is the price. MSRPs of both are similar, I believe. Yet CX9 offers much more value in terms of tech options, sporty driving and luxurious interior. Not to mention the BOSE Audio system
The Bose sounds amazing in the CX-9. I found the tech behind it to be pretty impressive. It’s Bose after all.
How is 3 or 4 thousand similar? The Kuro is meant to compete against the limited trim of the Toyota.
Do you know why the Canadian Mazda doesn’t get the new infotainment system same as the one they get in the states?
Toyota is always stripping out features and luxury to get you to upgrade to a lexus.
Mazda gives you the whole enchilada straight out of the gate.
Great comparison info. I have the 22 Highlander XSE with great JBL audio. I believe the 21 XSE Audio is subpar and not of JBL.
No hybrid highlander xse ?
Its funny how people love mazdas in videos but put their money on Toyota in the real world
That’s correct, deep inside they know what’s good
I beg to differ, I am a Mazda owner and Toyota owner -- I love how the Mazda looks and drives and for the Toyota for being more reliable afaik, but will see as time passes by..
In my market this Toyota is dealer discounted 3k while the Mazda is dealer markup 3k. Yes, marked up over msrp...
I think mainly because Hondas and Toyotas have better resale values in market today.. I recently checked both and Toyota interior material quality (not engine) is way lower than Mazda's
Well just like most of us go shopping houses we see lots nice houses but in the end we buy the house that have most rooms with the money don’t we?
Cx9 can actually get 250 hp and 320 Lbs of torque with 93 octane
Add to this comparing the new kja sorento 2021
How do they compare in terms of the ride comfort, soaking up road imperfections?
If u want comfort. Then won’t be any sporty driving. So go for toyota.
I found Mazda to be more comfortable of the two. Seats and seating position is way better than toyota. Also the ride quality and noise inside is better in case of Mazda. So is the quality of interior.
Unfortunately, no heated steering wheel in the XSE highlander as you mentioned
I like both 🎆🤩
Interesting, it is more expensive in Canada. In the US, the 2021 Highlander XSE is $44,530 MSRP and the 2021 CX-9 Carbon Edition is $44,080 MSRP.
YEP
Dollar currency. Same price
Pls make a video of CX9 VS Palisade .
Seconded
The mazdais based off of a front wheel drive system not rear.
Why that 2021 Mazda has an old infotainment system? It was updated for 2021, looks like that one is the 2020 model.
Only in USA, not in Canada
Kuro means black in Japanese
Thank you
In the US, this is called the carbon edition Mazda CX9
CX9 is for pleasantness
Highlander is for aggression
The Highlander info system and screen are so much better than the Mazda
Have you driven the Mazda and compared them both to one another? The Highlander feels and handles like a truck, while the CX-9 feels like a sports car. I think that in itself, along with being considered #1 in reliability right now, more than makes up for the "poor" display. Also, it's almost 2022, there are rumors they are changing that display.
The screen? Ha. The mazda is 10 times better in every way over the highlander except for maybe cargo space. Big deal
In terms of horsepower they are miles apart from each other!!!! Nearly 60hp is quite significant difference.
The cx9 make more torque . You supposed to look at torque before horsepower
@@anpham8107 ya if I’m going from stoplight to stoplight but HP is the driving variable at highway speeds.
Torque numbers makes all the difference when it comes to big heavy vehicles and the mazda has the advantage in this class. Hp doesn’t mean anything if you don’t have the torque to push that weight
مازدا مدرسة في التصميم 👍❤
The 2021 XSE is amazing looking. Also its a Toyota, one of the most reliable brands in the world!
Incorrect. Mazda is on top . Then comes Toyota then Honda.
@@mrdrooboiii8116 don’t know about that. Don’t really see many older Mazda’s out there,but I do see a lot of older Toyotas
@@filipesantos8730 It’s not an opinion . It’s facts. Look at consumers report for 2020 . Mazda is number 1 for reliable cars now. Jumped over Toyota. and I’m from California. There’s ton of older and new Mazda’s here as well as Toyota and many more car brands. I have a 2020 cx9 signature. I’ve test drove shitty Mercedes suv , Audi, Toyota suv , Honda and so on. Mazda was the best out of all those.fully loaded for 7k under asking price . Couldn’t pass it up.
@@mrdrooboiii8116 I’m not much into what books say. What I see is a bunch of Honda’s and Toyota’s on the road, older Mazda’s not much really.
I don’t really care about how much luxury and technology the car has inside, I value car durability, and in my view Toyota, Honda is above Mazda.
Maybe Mazda will approach those 2 some day, but we will see how many Mazda’s there will be in 20 years on the road compared to Toyota’s and Hondas
@@mrdrooboiii8116 I actually life close to the dealership on this video. Maybe Mazda’s in Canada are not as good with cold weather, and maybe that’s why I don’t see many older Mazda’s on the road here, compared to California
This comparison is not fair, CX-9 is a luxurious vehicle.
no it is not. It is pretending to be. So is the CX5 top trim. It's smoke and mirrors. We have a top level CX5 2020, people claim the same about that. . I have had luxury brands, it is a decent car, but luxury brand it is not.
@@GoofieNewfie I think that the Mazdas are more luxurious than Toyotas
@@JZhang-of7iw cuz Toyota have lexus, madza don't have any luxury cars. If Toyota make their Toyota cars more luxury, nobody will buy their luxus. They ain't stupid
Lol
Youve obviously never driven real luxury cars. The mazda is just a grade above the bottom. No where near the top.
FYI the 2021 XSE seats are NOT leather ones
Really? Damn actually we are buying one today...I will definitely check that out
@@JohnnyRexville bought with red interior look sick
Mazda has so much more design mojo than Toyota! People who choose the Toyota only do so because they don’t know any better.
wrong. people who choose toyota value the hard work that earns them $.. putting it into something that offers long lasting reliability. only morons care about a vehicle’s design over reliability.
@@genj1184 the thinking that Toyota is more reliable is obsolete; similar to Volvo owners thinking they drive the safest cars. That is old data. Toyota makes very good cars, but Mazda and Hyundai have definitely caught up. Mazda has ranked highest in reliability for the last couple of years.
@@amycole5093 if you are looking at a long term car I’ll take a V6 hauling a large over 4,000 lb vehicle over a turbo 4 any day.
@@amycole5093 I feel sad that the world won't see this message. You have made an excellent point. That data is old. I just bought cx9 today. And my wife owns a 2012 Suzuki Kizashi with 400,000km and still clean. EVERYTHING works and still strong. We bought as used. Because of that car (unpopular to many buyers), I knew toyota and Honda are just selling names and past glory. Again, who wants to drive a car for 10years now? I want to enjoy affordable luxury not just driving an ugly car because I was told it will last 30years or because I want to resell in 15years. If you do regular car maintenance (like we do to the suzuki) and drive reasonably, your car will last forever.
The highland XSE grill is ugly. It's like the Avalon. Total deal breaker for me.
Highlander grill is ugly?? ...Are you kidding me?! lol
Agree
Filipe they stuck in the 90’s
The Grille is tight....love it
I don’t know if I’m the only who hates how Mazda doesn’t let you use the touchscreen while driving
This one is very nice. But it’s the highlander for me
Mazda Cx 9 the best mid sized SUV
I’m seriously looking at the Highlander but even with that the CX-9 is WAY better looking.
Toyota Highlander seats are amazing comfortable
Mazda seats are tight and feel hard
2021 is the first year the highlander been available in xse model.
after 5 years, Highlander will sell for 38k where CX 9 will be available under 20k
What the hell are you smoking?? Lol
My 2021 soul red Signature has 1k miles on it. I know I made the right decision buying the mazda versus the Toyota.
As a previous owner of a brand new 2010 Toyota Highlander limited I know what to expect with the Toyota. I wasn't very pleased with the seating as the seats were very hard. The car back then cost me 41k and it was mediocre at best but the reliability was second to none. I bought a 2016 Mazda CX-5 with 40,000 miles on it it has a hundred now again no problems whatsoever even with this Mazda in fact Mazda took Toyota's reliability score away from them
We bought a 2012 highlander limited with 5k mi on it. Like you said, very reliable of course but as you mentioned hard seats, hard steering wheel, not very luxurious. Toyota wants you to buy a lexus.
We just bought a 2019 cx9 grand touring and It’s such a massive upgrade.
I just checked highlander and cx9. Going to check palisade next... Highlander material feels cheap.. also cx9 drives better. And sales/ after sales service of Mazda is way better than Toyota's.
Price wise whats the difference
@@martyjacqz7901 Not much... but found with same features, mazda costs more 1-2k more than highlander
@@martyjacqz7901 Toyota’s is better
1.reliability
2.better resell value
3.better transmission
@@saadtheman1 that was of the past. I have owned many mazdas and never had any major problems. Just the regular routine maintenance. Toyota definitely had their own engine problems.
@@Daily_Life_81 its ok we have better fuel economy and better resell value
Toyota’s is better
1.reliability
2.better resell value
3.better transmission
Anyone else thinks the front end of the Highlander looks like a sagging old man's face? Just taking a poll. 🤔
Definitely Highlander is better and worth to buy because of the following aspects.
1. Better, classy and elegant outlook as CX9 front end looks a bit bulky.
2. Better and more modern interior design as the one in CX9 is aging and dated.
3. Better storage capacity.
4. V6 NA engine mated with 8-speed transmission allows silky smooth power at every rev. which is way better than CX9.
5. Air vent available at the third row is absolutely good in summer time.
6. Better towing capability.
7. Better reliability. Have encountered side mirror motor problems few times on Mazda cars previously.
8. Better and solid resell value.
😂😂😂😂.. hey wake up. U just like the Toyota cos u probably own one and are used to boring things in life overall
@@veneelable Boy, be smart and don't blindly against the other's smarter choice. There have been clearly eight reasons listed for the choice which are missing from CX9.
Note and be remembered SUV is not a performance oriented vehicle.
No kidding what the hell is master smoking over there?? 😆. Is toyota still using that dumb ass JBL system, have you seen the interior quality over the toyota, the cheap plastic feel of the toyota in every aspect. The real exhaust mazda used over the fake exhaust like on the corolla. Please toyota looks cheap. Dont get me wrong me and the wife both had toyotas for a long time..guess what we have now cause its a better vehicle and better material used, better cameras, radio etc . And consumer reports leader for best reliability. 👍
@@mikes9637 No kidding what the hell is MS speaking bullshit here! Your comments are the superficial stuff which could not kick off what I said. Better reliability, better functionality and better resell value are the keys.
Overall the Highlander is better ! Toyota's last longer than most "marriages" !
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mazda is now number 1 in reliability. Toyota knows! Mazda builds a car for Toyota (rebranded Mazda2) and they now have a joint factory in the US
@@jmunayer how is that? i can never spot an old mazda on the road
Regular car maintenance goes along way. If you don't maintain Toyota or whatever, they will not last.
@@genj1184 because Mazda makes their designs timeless so while you think you’re looking at a newer Mazda it might very well be 10-12 years old.
Where Mazda CX9 looses is the cargo space...they made a car for 7 and luggage capacity of 1. Not an acceptable combination.
CX9 ES SUPERIOR
Toyota lost track of making a good looking design.. They stuck in ugly grill ..
Why would consumers purchase a midsize 3 row crossover rather than one of multitude of midsize 2 row alternatives offered by virtually every automaker other than Mazda? Presumably because they need/want a third row of seats on at least an occasional basis. With that in mind, how do the CX-9 and the Highlander stack up?
Not well. The CX-9 has 29.7" of 3rd row legroom. That's near the bottom of all its rivals, nearly all of which offer at least 31+" of rear seat legroom. In fact, the Mazda offers only 110" of total legroom in all three rows and 135 cubic ft of overall passenger space. (legroom/headroom/shoulder and hip room). But all is not lost for the Mazda. The Toyota Highlander is just as cramped if not more so. It provides only 27.7" of third row legroom, 109" of total legroom, and a total of 136 cubic ft of passenger room.
To get an idea of how inefficiently packaged both the CX-9 and Highlander are, the KIA Sorento is the shortest midsize 3 row crossover. Only 189" in length compared to the 195" Highlander and the 199" CX-9. Its 3rd row legroom amounts to 31.4". Its total legroom in all three rows is 115" and its overall passenger room is 154 cubic ft.
Does all this matter? Not if you don't need overall passenger space and seating for more than 5 passengers. But if that's the case, why bother with any 3 row crossover? As noted above, nearly every automaker offers two row midsize crossover, almost all of which offer more interior room for four or five passengers and as much or more cargo capacity behind the second row of seats.
I bought an XSE 6 months ago. Blizzard white. I’d test driven Mazda CX-9, Honda Pilot,…
I’m happy I made this purchase.
Mazda is also reliable and of course more luxurious but not as practical. I went kayaking almost every week in summer time and you can’t imagine how practical highlander is when it comes to cargo. Plus I find Mazda too sporty. Didn’t like the ride at all. It’s too stiff. Also highlander is a V6. Great engine. Can’t compare it with a turbo which will need more maintenance. Xse looks sick specially in profile. Got many compliments. Mazda’s design whole good is outdated. And of course the resale value. Hope it helps :)
Cx9 will be on the side of the road much sooner than the highlander. I've tried many vehicles but my Toyota has never let me down. Never!
This is such a dated way of thinking. Mazda is now ranked higher than Toyota, Lexus, and Honda for brand reliability. Plus they look and drive way better than anything Toyota and Honda are designing.
That's funny because I've seen plenty of Toyota's on the side of the road while driving by in my Mazda.
You can’t compare a Mazda to a Toyota seriously
Why not?
Why not? I have 2011 4Runner and 2014 Mazda6 (both made in Japan) and are both very reliable vehicles. Zero issues from day 1(fingers crossed).
Seriously why not? They're literally in the same category. Meaning non luxury vehicles.
highlander xse v6 is better
Highlander XSE grill is terrible.
OKAY...LOL
Toyota has amazing v6 reliability record
4 cycle turbo Mazda not long term reliable
The Mazda brand is so irrelevant in 2020
Much like your comment because it really isn’t😂 Mazda is still relevant in 2020
@@gsdbp7893 so irrelevant
@@paladin3116 it’s your opinion I think that Mazda is a smaller company and they will be coming back soon but you do you boo🖕🏾
