The seven-seater competes against the full-sized Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander and, to a lesser extent, the new Toyota RAV-4 and GMC Acadia. With a starting price of $26,032, it is one of the most expensive—and largest—vehicles the company has produced for the U.S. market. A powerful 3.5 liter V6 engine can launch the CX-9 from 0 to 60 in 9 seconds and can travel around 19 mpg.
