2022 Mazda CX-9 vs. 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport

The 2022 Mazda CX-9 and 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport both offer drivers a refreshed ride with technology that streamlines normal domestic responsibilities while remaining strong. Continue reading to find out more about the 2022 Mazda CX-9 and how it measures up to the 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport, which will help you decide which car is right for you.

Design & Style

The CX-9 features bigger tires than the Discovery Sport for increased grip (255/60R18 vs. 235/60R18). The tires on the CX-9 Sport/Touring are bigger than those of the Discovery Sport (255/60R18 vs. 245/45R20).

The CX-9's wheelbase is 7.4 inches longer than the Discovery Sport for a smoother ride and more stable handling (115.3 inches vs. 107.9 inches). The track on the CX-9 is also 1.1 inches wider in the front and.7 inches wider in the back than the average track on the Discovery Sport for improved handling and stability.

When your hands are full, the liftgate on the CX-9 Carbon Edition/Grand Touring/Signature may be opened and closed simply by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands fully free. The Discovery Sport lacks a hands-free gesture to access the liftgate, forcing you to place luggage on the ground if your hands are full.

Technology & Safety

The CX-9 and Discovery Sport both come standard with front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, driver and passenger frontal airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all-wheel drive, traction control, and many more features.

The CX-9 comes equipped with a rear cross-path warning system, which employs sensors in the rear bumper to notify the driver to cars approaching from the side and helps the driver avoid crashes. The Discovery Sport has an additional charge for rear cross-path warning.

The Mazda CX-9's front seat shoulder belts are height-adjustable to fit a broad range of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can help to avoid injuries, and enhanced comfort encourages passengers to strap up. Seat belts on the Land Rover Discovery Sport are not height adjustable.

Performance

The 2.5 turbo 4-cylinder in the CX-9 generates 4 more horsepower (250 vs. 246) and 51 pound-feet more torque (320 vs. 269) than the 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder in the Discovery Sport.

The Mazda CX-9 utilizes standard unleaded gasoline to save fuel expenses and make fuel purchases easier (premium recommended for maximum performance). The Discovery Sport requires premium fuel, which can cost an additional 20 to 55 cents per gallon.

The Bottom Line

When comparing these two automobiles, several factors must be examined, including performance characteristics. However, in terms of product features, the 2022 Mazda CX-9 much outperforms the 2022 Land Rover Discovery Sport. Consider the 2022 Mazda CX-9 if you want a great automobile for your everyday needs.
