Every hit has a miss or two, and for the CX-9 that’d be interior storage. Among the pros is a large center armrest cubby with an outlet, a rubber-lined slot below the instrument panel, a small slot by the driver’s knee, a decent-size glovebox, and a damped and lined overhead sunglass holder. There’s also a map pocket on the back of the driver’s seat. Third row passengers get four small cupholders, and riders in the second row get a small spot in the fold-down center armrest. But that’s not a lot of storage space in a seven-passenger rig. Plus, the door pockets are designed more for holding beverages than anything else, and when used in such a fashion, leave precious little room for anything else.
