cx-9 performance on soft sand driving is pretty good.. i tried driving the CX-9 at Qatar inland sea dunes.. the engine performance is awesome.. with 273hp and 366N.m torque engine .. sure it will give you enough power..
note: to get better traction.. it's recommended to deflate tyres pressure down to 18psi before driving the cx-9 on sand dunes.... will submit some pictures of CX-9 dunes driving soon..
