Though these two SUVs are comparable in many ways and only have a little more than a foot of length difference between them, the 2021 Mazda CX-9 offers much more room. In fact, though the Equinox only supports up to 5 people no matter how you configure it, the 2021 Mazda CX-9 provides room for up to 7 people standard. Higher trims and options can reduce that capacity down to 6, however, in that instance, the second row is upgraded to captains’ chairs providing easier access to the third row and greater comfort to your second-row passengers.
Speaking of comfort, the 2021 Mazda CX-9 gives you standard automatic climate control with three zones. The driver, front row passenger, and your additional passengers can each set their temperature independently and the system will automatically modulate heat and air conditioning to provide the perfect temperature to everyone that you ride with.
Getting back to capacity, not only can the 2021 Mazda CX-9 give you room for more people than the Equinox can, but it also has more capacity in a few other key areas. In terms of cargo room, when all the seats are down, the 2021 Mazda CX-9 offers much more space. Want to haul some of your stuff around? Then Mazda CX-9 has up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped which is a staggering 2,000 pounds more than the Equinox.
