The second-generation CX-9 returns for one final year. It will soon be replaced by another three-row crossover called CX-90. The only engine available in the CX-9 is a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder that produces up to 250 horsepower when running on premium gasoline. A six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive also come standard. Maximum towing capacity is rated at just 3,500 pounds whereas most V6-powered competitors can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
