Overview:Mazda CX-9 based on the idea of a 7 SEATER CROSSOVER SUV that embodies Mazda DNA as realized in the Zoom-Zoom concepts of Stylish, Insightful and Spirited.The CX-9 is a breakthrough in style, performance, and practicality, combining the soul of a sports car with the convenience of a 3-row Crossover SUV. Bold and athletic. Responsive and agile. Inspiring and reassuring. It's Mazda CX-9, the new statement of leadership in crossover SUVs. Designed and engineered to meet both your emotional desires and your rational needs in equal and full measure. Inviting you to get in and drive wherever the fancy takes you. More than that, Mazda CX-9 seats up to seven adults in uncompromised comfort, so family and friends can not only come along for the ride, they can relax and enjoy it too. Inside and out, Mazda CX-9 is not only what you need, it's also what you really want.

Styling and Design:The sleek exterior styling is both a pleasure to the eye and hints at the quality, comfort and driving pleasure that lie within. The sharply raked windscreen, muscular fenders, and large wheels and tyres give clear expression to Mazda CX-9's exciting performance. And design details such as the horizontal chrome bar in the front grille, elegantly flowing side windows and unique trapezoid exhaust pipes emphasize the vehicle's craftsmanship.

Interior:Mazda CX-9 sets next-generation standards of quality and pride of ownership for a crossover SUV. Take a look at the clean, contemporary interior design and you'll enjoy a harmony of quality materials, inviting textures and painstaking attention to detail. Design touches such as dramatic, vertical accents and elegant, floating door grips reward your gaze everywhere you look. For the driver, the instrument panel and steering wheel are carefully designed to deliver satisfaction to the eyes and the touch. Form-fitting seats in soft leather are both comfortable and supportive - especially during hard driving - and double-stitching provides an attractive design accent. Leather door and centre console armrests provide ideal thickness and cushioning. Steering wheel tilt and multi-way driver's seat adjustment allow drivers of virtually any size to achieve a comfortable driving position. And all controls are logically positioned for easy operation, and engineered for a positive, satisfying operating feel. Craftsmanship and "customer delight" - an important Mazda extra - are evident in items such as blue indirect lighting in the ceiling and front/rear doors that provides a gentle illumination for the passenger space; blue indirect lighting for the meters and audio dials; and decoration panels that add a further touch of elegance and style to the interior.

Driving Dynamics:Turn everyday driving into pure pleasure. The journey starts with a newly-developed high-power 204kW[270hp] 3.7-litre V6 DOHC to move Mazda CX-9 with smoothly powerful grace and authority. Featuring all-aluminium construction, four valves per cylinder and variable intake valve timing, this lightweight engine delivers tremendous torque and power across the entire speed range giving you effortless, exciting response in all driving conditions. What's more, a wide range of advanced measures holds NVH(Noise, Vibration and Harshness) down at the levels found in a luxury sedan. The 6-speed Activematic gearbox with carefully-chosen gear ratios keeps the engine in the sweet spot, delivering sparkling acceleration at any time. And an active torque-split four-wheel drive system (2WD models available in some areas) delivers all this sporty power to the road. This advanced system takes input from various sensors and automatically adjusts torque distribution depending on traction conditions: up to 50% of the drive power goes to the rear wheels to maintain curve-hugging grip under virtually any road conditions. All-independent suspension - MacPherson strut at the front and multilink at the rear - is integrated with an ultra-rigid body to assure a smooth, comfortable ride allied with taut, linear handling. .

Utility:The Mazda CX-9 rides on a 2,875mm wheelbase, one of the longest in the segment, providing easy access to its three-row seating. There's ample room for adults in every position and sufficient cargo space to accommodate modern families. Under the sleek exterior is an interior that will impress demanding customers with its space, utility, versatility, and premium features. To ease accommodation for drivers of all sizes, the driver's seat and steering column move quickly and easily over a long range of adjustment. The 60-40 split second row carries three in comfort and offers approximately five inches of fore-and-aft slide travel and a reclining backrest. In the 50-50-split third row, the seating position and leg room are both class-leading in numbers and real comfort. Entry to the third row is easy, with nearly 66cm of access space between the folded second-row seat and the C-pillar. Even with the third row occupied, the CX-9 provides 487L of cargo capacity, eclipsing many large sedan boots. Both second- and third-row seats fold flat to allow additional storage all the way up to the back of the front seats .

Safety:To maintain a rigid safety cage around the passenger compartment, the Mazda CX-9 body is built around the Mazda Advanced Impact-energy Distribution and Absorption System (MAIDAS). Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes feature an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) to prevent wheel lockup in emergency braking, while a Traction Control System (TCS) detects wheel slippage and adjusts torque to restore traction, and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) minimizes under- or oversteer during emergency manoeuvres. An advanced Roll Stability Control (RSC) system senses when a rollover is about to occur and reduces torque and applies the brakes to restore the vehicle to stability. A six airbag system is fitted as standard and includes side-curtain airbags that extend to the third row.
