Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Wrangler 4xe than in the Mazda CX-9. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-9.

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 Jeep Wrangler 4xe will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mazda CX-9, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions

Handling
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has the same turning radius as the Mazda CX-9, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mazda CX-9.

Utility
The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has less seating than the Mazda CX-9, making the Mazda CX-9 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe has less cargo space than the Mazda CX-9, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
