2020 Hyundai Palisade vs 2019 Mazda CX-9 in Montreal
December 27 2019,
Here we are in the segment of large-sized sport utility vehicles, for those who want space. In the left corner, the all-new 2020 Hyundai Palisade and in the right corner, the stunning 2019 Mazda CX-9. Freshly out of the manufacture, the Hyundai SUV sports quite an imposing style, while the Mazda SUV has been delighting consumers in the West Island, Montreal and Laval since 2015.
To make this short comparative fair and equitable, we will use their respective entry-range versions. Therefore, it will be the Essential for the Hyundai SUV, the 1st of 4 available trims, and on the Mazda SUV side, it will be the GS variant, also the 1st of 4.
The 2019 CX-9 and 2020 Palisade engine
A Skyactiv-G 2.5-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with an output of 227 horsepower and a torque of 310 lb-ft, paired to a Skyactiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift mode is found under the hood of the Mazda. A 3.8-litre V6 engine of 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual mode, equip the Hyundai.
Technologies
Our title contenders are very well equipped, with among others, the rearview camera, cruise control, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Nevertheless, the Mazda offers you more with Trailer Stability Assist, Hill Launch Assist, Roll-Over Stability Control, Smart City Brake Support as well as the Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System, just to name these few.
The quality and refinement of the Mazda’s materials are light years ahead of that of the Hyundai Palisade, which, despite its stature and vocation, unfortunately includes cheap plastics in its interior, which clashes with its aristocratic style.
Now with regard to driving dynamics, neither the Palisade nor any other competitor come close to the driving comfort and enjoyment of the 2019 CX-9, which you can lease at your Mazda Spinelli dealer, located in Lachine in the West Island of Montreal, easily accessible from Laval via Highway 13. All of our clients can take advantage of our promotional offers as well as, of course, from Mazda financing, flexible and always adapted to your budget.
