Head-to-Head: 2022 MAZDA CX-9 vs 2022 Chevrolet Traverse

mazda cx5If you’re looking for an SUV for sale, you’re probably wondering how certain models compare to one another. For example, you may be curious about the way the Mazda CX-9 compares to its worthy rival, the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. We can assure you that the 2022 Mazda CX-9 holds up quite well in a head-to-head comparison with the Chevy SUV. 

Cabin Quality 

Given its head-turning exterior style and the quality of the materials used to construct its cabin, the new Mazda CX-9 outshines its competitor when it comes to its interior. Only high-quality materials are apparent in the SUV’s cabin, which makes the interior of the Mazda CX-9 welcoming and chic. 

By comparison, the cabin in the Chevrolet Traverse is most accurately described as drab and at least a tad off-putting. You’ll notice plenty of hard plastics throughout the SUV’s cabin, which diminish the vehicle’s overall appeal. 

As you’ll see when you visit our Mazda dealership serving Erie, PA, the cabin in the Mazda CX-9 has a fresh, modern look and feel. The dashboard has a sleek aesthetic, and the cabin remains quiet even when you’re traveling at highway speeds. Given its more straightforward design, the cabin in the Chevy Traverse looks dated despite a recent refresh. 

Active Safety Features 

The latest Mazda models all have some active safety equipment, and the same can be said for the 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. The new Mazda CX-9 and the Chevy Traverse have some advanced safety and driver-assistive features in common, including: 

  • Forward collision warning and intervention system 
  • Rearview camera 
  • Lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist 
  • Automatic high beams 

Safety-conscious motorists will be happy to learn that the 2022 Mazda CX-9 is outfitted with a few standard safety features that are optional for the base trim of the Chevy Traverse. Adaptive cruise control is standard for the base Mazda CX-9 model, for example. This feature will maintain a static distance between your SUV and the car you’re following even when the lead vehicle changes speeds. 

When you check out the Mazda CX-9 at Freysinger Mazda, you’ll see that the SUV also comes with a blind spot monitor with a rear cross-traffic alert. This feature will warn you if there’s another automobile in your blind spot when you’re changing lanes or traveling in reverse.
