Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mazda CX-9 than in the Honda Prologue, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mazda CX-9 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Honda Prologue, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Honda Prologue is somewhat more expensive than the Mazda CX-9.

Dimensions
The Honda Prologue is a little wider than the Mazda CX-9, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Honda Prologue is slightly shorter than the Mazda CX-9, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Honda Prologue has a larger turning radius than the Mazda CX-9, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

In terms of towing capacity, the Mazda CX-9 is clearly the choice over the Honda Prologue for pulling heavy loads. The Honda Prologue has a little less horsepower than the Mazda CX-9.
