Usually, if you want luxury features and high-quality extras, you have to buy a luxury vehicle. However, that comes at a high price. Sure, there are several non-luxury SUVs and sedans that feel like luxury vehicles. But authentic comforts, convenience, and upscale materials still come at a price, even in non-luxury brands. That’s not the case with the affordable 2021 Mazda CX-9.

And this year’s model offers a package that transforms an already handsome midsize crossover into a more luxurious ride. A mere $2,000 can go a long way to enhancing this SUV.

The package everyone should add to the Mazda CX-9

Mazda has added high-end touches to many of its late-model vehicles. And the 2021 CX-9 offers plenty of upscale amenities at every trim level. But one trim makes this midsize crossover look like a luxury SUV.

The optional Touring Premium Package offers a significant upgrade. To make this package even sweeter, it comes at a modest up-charge. It’s an available package that everyone should consider adding to their new Mazda CX-9.

More bang for your buck

The 2021 Mazda CX-9 has seen several changes, Car and Driver reports. For instance, a 10.25-inch display screen with Mazda infotainment software is now standard. There’s also a new trim level, the Carbon Edition. And the top-level Signature trim gets a new grille this year. The mid-level Touring edition is often popular, thanks to its standard roster of equipment. It adds to the Sport trim basics with rear USB ports, a power liftgate, and leather seats.

But the ultimate upgrade comes with the Touring Premium Package. According to Edmunds, this package gives the 2021 Mazda CX-9 a wireless phone charger, front- and second-row parking sensors, a Bose sound system, and a moonroof. The best part of this add-on package is the price. The CX-9 Touring’s entry-level MSRP is $35,750. And for all the upscale Touring Premium Package extras, the price increases by only $2,000.

You’ll find many of the same high-end features on the 2021 Mazda CX-9 that you’d see in some luxury-class rivals. But leather seats, quality materials, and intuitive technology don’t have to cost a fortune with the CX-9.

And if you need a three-row crossover offering comfort, convenience, and affordability, the CX-9 offers more bang for your buck.

The Mazda CX-9 is an affordable SUV with upscale touches

Mazda has a reputation for making fun-to-drive vehicles. But it’s also a brand that prides itself on upscale affordability. The 2021 CX-9 embodies both, offering good road manners and an attractive interior. With the Touring Premium Package, you can get some of the best luxurious extras for $37,750. That price is still incredibly affordable for a three-row SUV, allowing the CX-9 to compete with even Lexus and Acura.

You have plenty of choices in midsize crossovers. But if you want the perfect balance of fun, capability, and luxury, consider the 2021 Mazda CX-9 with the Touring Premium Package. You’ll enjoy plush extras without straining your budget. And it’s a Mazda, so you know you’ll enjoy driving this SUV.
