Mazda CX-9 proves you can have ‘cutting edge style’ and a ‘seven-seat family wagon’ in the one SUV.
The Mazda CX-9’s superb styling, sporty driving dynamics and impressive features make it an absolute pleasure to own.
The Engine
Mazda’s drivetrain engineering is amongst the world’s best and the CX-9 delivers silky-smooth performance – zero to 100km/h takes 8.5 seconds and the recalibrated V6 delivers 12.2l/100kms with emissions down to 291g/km.
Drive is to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission and Mazda’s Active Torque Split AWD system. Under normal conditions drive is exclusively transmitted to the front wheels, but seamlessly shifts to AWD when slippage is detected. The CX-9 has a towing capacity of 2,000kgs.
The Luxury model runs superb 20-inch alloy wheels which really complement the high-waisted, long, thin glasshouse side profile that stamps the CX-9’s overall styling elegance.
The Interior
Up front, driver and passenger enjoy nicely sculptured leather seats with electronic adjustment. The leather-wrapped steering wheel (with simple buttons to operate the cruise control) adjusts for rake and reach, ensuring an optimum driving position.
The centre console provides a place with an auxiliary jack for your MP3 player or iPod. Air-conditioning controls and the transmission shifter are beautifully finished in chrome.
The attractive centre console has a screen with displays for audio and there's a glass sunroof.
In the back there is a centre arm-rest for passengers to adjust their own climate control zone and also two cupholders.
Access to the third row seats is via a simple lever that simultaneously rakes the second row seatback and slides the base forwards. The third row space is amongst the best in class.
Space is what families need and even with all seven seats occupied, the CX-9 provides 267 litres of cargo capacity. Fold the second and third row seats and cargo space grows to an enormous 1,887 litres.
On The Road
‘Zoom-Zoom’ isn’t just advertising. For starters the 3.7-litre V6 is a pearler. Even with the 2.097kgs, acceleration is brisk and response from the six-speed auto is immediate.
Around town the surprising 11.4 metre turning circle comfortably account for shopping centre multi-level car parks.
A real surprise awaits first-time CX-9 drivers when you head to the twists and curves. It’s taut and precise in the twisty stuff, body control is excellent and there is European feel as it hugs the road.
The beauty of Mazda’s luxurious CX-9 – it delivers everything a family seven-seater buyer needs.
