2023 Mazda CX-9

The new 2023 Mazda CX-9 crossover’s driving experience is superior to that of other family SUVs like the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, and Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Mazda has worked its signature driving exhilaration into the CX-9 to the fullest extent possible, and the turbocharged four-cylinder engine does its best to up the ante.

A 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G turbo-four powers all CX-9s mated to a six-speed automatic with manual and sport settings. In its peak configuration, the engine produces 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque when fed premium 93 octane fuel, and 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque when standard 87 octane is used.

The Mazda CX-9 has an efficient drivetrain that is also quiet and powerful. Off-road traction aid and G-Vectoring Control Plus complement the standard i-Activ all-wheel drive. When compared to other three-row crossovers, the CX-9 stands out as one of the most enjoyable to pilot.

The Mazda CX-9 is widely credited for ushering in many of the luxury touches found in Mazda vehicles today. The Skyactiv-G 2.5 turbo engine and the premium Signature trim level first appeared in the current generation CX-9 and have since extended throughout the rest of the range. For the 2023 production year, there are no modifications.

Radar cruise control with stop and go, front smart city brake support, front smart brake support, pedestrian detection, advanced blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning with lane keep assist are just some of the standard safety features included in all trim levels.

How is the Interior in the CX-9?

While it may not have as much space on the inside, the high-quality materials and classic styling make up for it. The CX-9 is lagging behind in the practicality department, but it remains a formidable contender in the SUV class for those who place a premium on good road manners.
