The CX-9 is a crossover utility vehicle built for driving enjoyment, with a powerful 273 hp 3.7-litre V6 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission with Sport mode and a choice of either front- or all-wheel drive configurations.
The CX-9 features both sporty design and dynamic driving characteristics. Muscular front fenders, large 18" and 20" alloy wheels and a rear lip spoiler project an athletic look and give it a distinctive road presence. Although the CX-9 is engineered to provide the more refined, comfortable ride of a premium crossover utility vehicle, it still retains the pure, fun-to-drive Zoom-Zoom nature inherent in all Mazda vehicles.
The CX-9 was crafted both inside and out to be a 'prestige' vehicle, inspiring pride of ownership with a refined appearance and upscale amenities. Leather-trimmed upholstery, high-grade trim elements and premium features such as three-zone automatic climate control and an available voice-activated navigation system with rearview camera and Bluetooth® compatibility all combine to appeal to the senses and encourage a pleasant driving experience.
The CX-9 is outfitted with three rows of comfortable seating for a total of seven passengers, including a 60/40-split folding second-row seat and a 50/50-split folding third-row seat. It is also equipped with a wealth of premium convenience features, including power windows, mirrors and door locks, remote keyless entry, 3-zone automatic climate control and an 8-way power driver's seat. Available up-market options include a power liftgate, Intelligent Key passive entry/start system, Bose® audio, a navigation system with MP3 functionality, Bluetooth® compatibility with Audio Profile and rearview camera parking assist, plus a DVD rear entertainment system
The CX-9's stable braking and handling characteristics and 'command' seating position inspire driver confidence, while advanced technologies such as Roll Stability Control (RSC) and overhead curtain airbags for all three rows help protect the family.
The CX-9 solidifies Mazda’s commitment to quality with its attention to details such as tight, flush gaps between body panels, smooth and easy door, liftgate and seat operation, passenger compartment sound dampening, and an ergonomically-designed interior with driver intuitive controls and high-quality trim materials.
The CX-9 boasts a comprehensive array of safety features offering peace of mind, including: 6 standard airbags; available all-wheel drive; Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Traction Control System (TCS) and Roll Stability Control (RSC); 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) and Brake Assist; triple-H body construction.
