Mazda's CX-9 is a full size larger than Mazda's performance utility vehicle, the CX-7, and closely related to the Ford Edge; but compared to the Edge and most other crossover SUVs, it has a sportier character, and some might find the CX-9's overall package a bit more attractive. Even though the CX-9 is among the sleekest, more aggressively styled SUVs its size, it's also very roomy inside, with three real rows of seating and cargo space behind that.
