The Mazda CX-9 is known for its style, safety features, and performance, and it’s once again out to reset the benchmarks for mid-size crossover SUVs with its 2023 model. Here’s your guide to this great SUV, available at your Mazda dealer.

Performance

In every CX-9 is the SKYACTIV-G 2.5 Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine, ensuring a powerful drive. Depending on your fuel preference, with 93 octane gasoline it can rev up to 250 HP, and with 87 octane, you’re looking at a solid 227 HP.

The torque doesn’t disappoint either: 320 lb-ft with premium and 310 lb-ft with regular fuel. Paired with the SKYACTIV-DRIVE 6-speed automatic transmission with both Sport and manual-shift modes, this is a smooth-shifting, delightful drive. G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVS Plus), Off-Road Traction Assist, and Hill Launch Assist also make it easy to maneuver your CX-9 anywhere.

Trims

CX-9 Touring

The standard model, CX-9 Touring, has a six-seating capacity featuring second-row captain’s chairs and a center pass-through. Interior options of black or sand-colored leather seating, a power moonroof, LED fog lights, and a wireless phone charger mean everyone can have a relaxing and comfortable ride. To top it off, this model boasts an array of Mazda i-Activsense driver assist safety features.

CX-9 Touring Plus

Building upon the standard, the Touring Plus offers both second-row bench seating for seven and optional captain’s chairs for six. It adds to the aesthetic and the comfort of your travels with features like ventilated front seats, black metallic 20-inch wheels, and a frameless rearview mirror.

CX-9 Carbon Edition

The Carbon Edition stands out with its Polymetal Gray exterior, gloss black power-folding door mirrors, and interior features such as red leather seats and LED illumination. It’s not just about looks, though: it’s about enhanced functionality with features like a heated steering wheel with paddle shifters and an Adaptive Front-Lighting System.

CX-9 Grand Touring

Taking luxury up a notch, the Grand Touring variant introduces features like a 360° View Monitor, Active Driving Display with Traffic Sign Recognition, and Mazda Navigation. It also offers you the flexibility to configure the second-row seating to cater to specific needs.

CX-9 Signature

The epitome of luxury, the Signature variant is indulgent, with exclusives like Nappa leather seats, Santos Rosewood interior trim, and patterned aluminum embellishments. The exterior boasts a hands-free power liftgate and a distinctive finished front grille.

The 2023 CX-9 is a joy to drive and has comfort and convenience that make it a worthy family SUV. It’s also a great value, competitively priced in the SUV market, and comes with AWD standards (not to mention Mazda performance and reliability).
