Keep Your Little Ones Protected

Mazda CX-9 Safety When looking for your next SUV, there is truly nothing more important than considering your family’s safety. The right SUV will be packed with advanced technology that helps you keep your precious cargo safely out of harm’s way.

Luckily, the 2021 Mazda CX-9 rises to the occasion with the following features coming standard on every model:

Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Monitors your side blind zones to let you know when another vehicle is traveling alongside you. When in reverse, you’ll also be alerted to approaching cars.
Lane Departure Warning System: Provides audible and visual warnings to let you know when you’re drifting out of your lane and may depart entirely.
Lane-keep Assist: Detects unintentional lane sway and then applies minor steering corrections as needed to help you stay firmly on track.
Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection: Measures the distance between your car and frontal obstacles, including pedestrians, to warn when you’re too close. If necessary, the brakes are applied to aid in avoiding a frontal collision altogether.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go: Maintains a set following speed and distance between your SUV and the car ahead, slowing, accelerating, and even stopping as traffic calls for.

While the Buick Enclave has similar safety technologies to offer you and your kids, unfortunately, they are not found on the base model. Instead, to make them available, you’ll need to upgrade to a higher trim level.

Advanced Technology for Greater Security

These SUVs don’t stop there when it comes to protection. They up the ante when it comes to safe parking maneuvers with an available 360˚ View Monitor.

By utilizing cameras found all around the exterior of your SUV, you’ll be provided with a clear, bird’s-eye-view of your surroundings when backing in or out of a space, allowing you to easily view close obstacles.

One feature you’ll find on the 2021 Mazda CX-9 and not on the competition, though, is an Active Driving Display with Traffic Sign Recognition. This features projects vital information right onto your windshield, directly in your line of sight. It also detects common traffic signs to keep you more updated.

Without a comparable system in the Buick Enclave, you’ll need to tear your eyes off the fast-paced road ahead to view your current driving speed. You also won’t be alerted to detected speed limits or stop signs.

Entertainment for the Entire Clan

Mazda Connect Display Another important piece of technology is your entertainment system. In the 2021 Mazda CX-9, you’ll find a standard 10.25-inch Mazda Connect™ Infotainment System packed with Apple Carplay® and Android Auto™ for a curated listening experience.

While the Buick Enclave also comes standard with smartphone integration, the standard display is much smaller at only eight inches. Therefore, you may have a harder time viewing the screen when traversing the open highway on the way to your son’s football game.
