2023 Mazda CX-9

The 2023 CX-9 lineup offers five fantastic trim levels, starting with the Touring. This base trim level features LED headlights, LED fog lamps, and a bright-finished grille. You'll also find rear privacy glass, dual-exhaust outlets, and a body-colored rear roof spoiler. On the Touring Plus, you'll find a gloss-black grille, black body molding, and a power-deployable liftgate. The Carbon Edition features an exclusive Polymetal Gray Metallic Paint Job, 20-inch Black Metallic wheels, and chrome body molding. Mazda equips the Grand Touring with a bright-finished grille and chrome molding, while the Signature gets a Titanic Gray Metallic grille with accent lighting.

No matter which CX-9 trim you choose, you'll enjoy powerful performance every time you take the wheel. All models come equipped with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque. With that much power, you can use your CX-9 to tow up to 3,500 pounds.

Mazda pairs the CX-9's robust engine with impressive performance dynamics to ensure a superior driving experience. The six-speed automatic transmission optimizes engine response while seamlessly shifting through gears for smooth acceleration and effortless handling. Mazda's i-Activ all-wheel-drive system, standard on all models, predicts traction loss to provide maximum stability continuously. At the same time, the G-Vectoring Control Plus makes it easy to take tight turns, zip around busy streets, and traverse rugged terrain. A state-of-the-art suspension minimizes impact and road noise to make every ride smoother and more comfortable, regardless of driving conditions.

The 2023 CX-9 comes standard with seating for seven, luxurious yet durable leather seating surfaces, and integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With the Touring Plus, you can take advantage of ventilated front seats, while the Carbon Edition adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel with stylish red stitching. The Grand Touring features Mazda's built-in navigation system, making it easy to get traffic updates and find nearby gas stations and other amenities. With the six-seater Signature, you'll enjoy Nappa leather upholstery and second-row captain's chairs with a center console.

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 offers several safety features, such as a blind-spot monitor that issues audio and visual alerts when a vehicle enters the CX-9's blind-spot zones. Advanced smart city brake support detects vehicles and pedestrians in your path and applies the brakes if it predicts potential impact. If you're driving in reverse, the rear cross-traffic alert will warn you when a vehicle is approaching from the side. Mazda's radar cruise control maintains your preferred cruising speed and adjusts it when traffic starts to slow. Other safety features include a lane-departure warning, a driver attention alert, and traffic sign recognition.
