A refined three-row SUV with room for the whole crew
Drive a CX-9
A CX-9 rental puts a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder, three rows of seating, and standard all-wheel drive in your hands. It's the Mazda rental for crews who want room for everyone and a cabin that feels a cut above the usual family hauler.
On Turo, you book your CX-9 from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Guests can find CX-9 listings in cities across the US, so your next trip can start close to home.

Turbocharged power that pulls with purpose
The CX-9 runs a Skyactiv-G 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder. On premium fuel, it makes 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque (227 hp and 310 lb-ft on regular). A six-speed automatic with manual and sport modes handles the shifts, so a full cabin still merges with confidence.
Three rows with room to spread out
The CX-9 seats your crew across three rows, with cargo space that grows as you fold seats down. Touring and Carbon Edition trims seat six, thanks to second-row captain's chairs that leave a walkway to the third row. On the Carbon Edition, those captain's chairs are heated (a nice perk on chilly mornings).
Behind the third row, you get 14.4 cubic feet of cargo space for groceries and daypacks. Fold the third row and that grows to 38.2 cubic feet. Drop both rear rows and you'll have 71.2 cubic feet for strollers, bulky gear, or a week's worth of luggage.
Standard i-Activsense driver assistance
Every 2023 CX-9 comes standard with i-Activsense, so you get the same driver-assist tech no matter which trim you book. Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go keeps pace with traffic. Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert help when you're changing lanes or backing out of a parking spot.
Smart Brake Support and Advanced Smart City Brake Support with pedestrian detection keep watch on the road ahead. Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist rounds out the lineup. It's a welcome backup when you're behind the wheel of an unfamiliar SUV in a new city.
Stand out with a CX-9
The CX-9 is built for trips where seats and cargo space both matter. Book one for a family vacation, a group getaway with friends, or an airport run with everyone's luggage in the back. It's one of many three-row SUV rentals on Turo, and its turbocharged pull and upscale cabin help it stand apart.
Top CX-9 features
Standard all-wheel drive
Standard all-wheel drive, easy-to-use tech, and upscale details make the CX-9 feel like more than a people mover.
Every 2023 CX-9 trim comes with i-Activ AWD as standard, so you don't need to hunt for a specific trim to get it. That's a real plus when you're booking an SUV for a trip with unpredictable weather.
All-wheel drive helps the CX-9 hold its grip on rain-slicked pavement and wet on-ramps. Pair it with the turbocharged engine and you get confident traction when pulling away from a stop with a full cabin. Still, AWD helps you go and doesn't shorten stopping distances, so leave extra room on wet roads.
Tech at your fingertips
A 10.25-inch display sits at the center of the dash, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. Connect your phone and your maps, playlists, and podcasts move to the big screen. That makes finding your way around an unfamiliar city a lot less stressful.
The Touring trim also includes a wireless phone charger as standard. Set your phone down and it stays topped up between stops. It's a small detail that pays off on road trips when your phone is doing double duty as navigator and DJ.
Upscale details
The CX-9 brings upscale touches that make long drives with the family more pleasant. The Touring trim comes standard with leather seating, a power moonroof, and LED fog lights, so the lineup starts well equipped.
Check the listing to see which of the five 2023 trims you're booking: Touring, Touring Plus, Carbon Edition, Grand Touring, or Signature. Need to bring extra gear? The CX-9 is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs, so confirm the listing allows towing before you plan around a trailer.
Top tips and things to know before renting a CX-9
Get to know your CX-9
A little prep goes a long way with the CX-9, from confirming the seat count to choosing the right fuel.
The CX-9 reached its final model year in 2023, and the specs on this page reflect that year. Seat count varies by trim, so check the listing before you book. Touring and Carbon Edition models seat six with second-row captain's chairs.
Shopping around? Compare it with a Toyota Highlander rental, a Nissan Pathfinder rental, or a Ford Explorer rental to find your best fit.
CX-9 driving tips
Fill up with premium 93-octane fuel to get the full 250 hp (on regular, output drops to 227 hp). Use manual mode to pick your own gears on hills or sport mode for quicker response. On long highway stretches, set Radar Cruise Control.
The CX-9 earns an EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined and carries a 19.5-gallon tank. Plan gas station stops before long, empty stretches of highway, since your mileage will vary with load and speed.
How much does it cost to rent a CX-9?
The cost to rent a CX-9 on Turo depends on the listing, since each local vehicle owner sets their own price. Rates vary by city, trip dates, and model year, so check current listings for up-to-date daily prices.
Planning a longer stay? Many listings include weekly and monthly discounts. You can also explore long-term car rental on Turo for trips that stretch a month or more.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
