The CX-9 Grand Touring/Signature has a standard heads-up display that projects speed and other key instrumentation readouts in front of the driver's line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Sorento doesn't offer a heads-up display.
The CX-9's front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Sorento's standard passenger windows don't open or close automatically.
The CX-9's optional wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield. The Sorento's manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.
While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the CX-9 Grand Touring/Signature detect other vehicles that could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Sorento doesn't offer automatic dimming high beams.
The CX-9's standard side window demisters help clear frost or condensation from the side windows in the winter. The Sorento doesn't even offer side window demisters, so the driver may have to wipe the windows from the outside to gain side vision.
The CX-9 has a standard dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won't have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. Dual zone air conditioning costs extra on the Sorento and isn't available on the Sorento L.
The CX-9's standard automatic temperature control maintains the temperature you set, automatically controlling fan speed, vents and temperature to maintain a consistent, comfortable environment. The Sorento L doesn't offer automatic air conditioning.
The CX-9 (except Sport)'s available GPS navigation system has a real-time traffic update feature that plots alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.) The Sorento's navigation system doesn't offer real-time traffic updates.
