For those who have been dreaming of the perfect family-oriented SUV, the 2023 Mazda CX-9 is definitely worth a look. From its powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine to its impressive range of standard features, the CX-9 promises an exhilarating driving experience every time you get behind the wheel. Let’s take an in-depth look at what makes this three-row SUV such a fantastic choice.

Engine Performance

The CX-9 offers that perfect combination of power and performance. All models are powered by a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine with two fuel options. When running on regular unleaded gasoline, the CX-9 churns out 227 horsepower for a smooth driving experience. If you choose to fill up with premium unleaded fuel, the output increases to 250 horsepower, allowing you to pick up speed when needed.

With a standard six-speed automatic transmission, shifting is seamless and effortless. In addition, all trims feature an all-wheel drive system, giving your car exceptional traction on different types of terrain.


Handling

The CX-9 features low compression dampers that reduce excessive body movements in turns and dips, making for a nearly silent and smooth ride. Additionally, the brakes provide plenty of feedback and more than enough stopping power even when temperatures drop, giving drivers complete confidence behind the wheel. Outward visibility from the cockpit is excellent, too, helping drivers stay aware of their surroundings while driving.

Further enhancing driving dynamics of this SUV are two exclusive technologies: G-Vectoring Control Plus and Off-road Traction Assist. Both work together to provide superior grip and control on even low-friction surfaces.


Interior

The CX-9 proves that style and comfort can combine for a truly remarkable interior. All models offer seven seats, except for the Signature trim which offers a six-seat configuration. On top of this, there are many standard features that impress, including power-adjustable front seats, power-operated rear liftgate, keyless entry with push-button start, and leather upholstery.

In addition, all models come equipped with second-row captain’s chairs, a highly sought-after feature among mid-size SUVs.


Infotainment and Connectivity

The all-new CX-9 is a true entertainment hub, offering a suite of standard features designed to keep you connected and comfortable at all times. It comes with a Wi-Fi hotspot, 10.25-inch display, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility.

In addition, the standard tri-zone automatic climate control allows the driver and rear passengers to set their own temperatures. Plus, with a wireless charging pad on board, there’s no need to worry about finding an outlet when on the go!
