The Mazda CX-9 offers the choice between two very well equipped models. The Mazda CX-9 Classic and the Mazda CX-9 Luxury. Whether you choose the Classic or the Luxury, you’ll drive a 7 seater SUV that upfront delivers a very smooth, almost effortless performance. The CX-9 is a an absolute delight to drive – in fact its very easy to forget you are driving a 7 seater SUV.
The CX-9 is roomy and comfortable – perfect for the family or business adventures. Its solidly constructed and well-detailed cabin offers leather trim on the Luxury model and a high quality cloth for the Classic model.
There is a generous range of exterior colours on offer and two choices of leather for the Luxury, black and sand.
The CX9 Luxury also features are an 8-way power adjustable driver seat, ten-speaker Bose audio system, a powered sun roof and a 6-disc in-dash CD player.
Both the Luxury and Classic models feature collapsible back seats, reclining seats, six airbags and seat belts that won the CX-9 five stars in the crash-test held by US NHTSA.
There is plenty of cargo space – you’ll find air conditioning controls for the passengers in both back seat rows, plenty cup holders and smart storage. From the outside, the CX9′s detailing and sweeping lines easily level, even surpass many of the prominent SUV’s in the market today.
Here to give the Toyota Kluger a hurry up, the Mazda CX-9 features an all new 3.7 V6 engine from Mazda that delivers 196 kW at 6250 rpm – a generous amount of power for a family vehicle.
The CX9 is a front wheel drive vehicle by definition but its torque-on-demand system will engage all 4 wheels when and if the need arises. If speed matters, 100km/hr is a mere 8.5 seconds away from a standing start, again, a great figure for a 7-seater.
Mazda has definitely struck a great balance with the CX-9 – plenty of space, super comfortable and an easy yet confident and sporty drive. The Mazda CX-9 is definitely worth a closer look if you are looking at a roomy and styling SUV.
