The Audi brand presents a formidable challenge across the luxury segment, especially its Q7 SUV. The Audi brand takes pride in making powerful, stylish, and tech-savvy luxury cars for a price. However, shoppers who want to pay less for their next luxury SUV and still enjoy lots of class and technology should consider the Mazda brand. The Mazda CX-9 shares many similarities with the Q7, and we decided to see where our midsize crossover stands out on top. Let us summarize our findings for your peace of mind here at Fitzgerald Mazda Frederick. You will find us less than a 30-minute drive outside of Hagerstown, MD.
