2007–2015
Overview

The Mazda CX-9, from 2007 to 2015, was a midsize crossover SUV designed to cater to families and individuals seeking a blend of space, comfort, and driving enjoyment. Its bold and stylish exterior showcased Mazda's distinctive KODO design language, featuring flowing lines and a large grille. The interior offered a well-appointed cabin with seating up to seven passengers, making it a practical choice for larger families. The third-row seats were accessible, but primarily suited for children or occasional use.

What set the CX-9 apart was its dynamic driving character. It featured responsive steering and agile handling, delivering a surprisingly engaging driving experience for an SUV of its size. This sporty disposition was complemented by a comfortable ride and a well-insulated interior that minimized road noise. While the early models had a V6 engine, later versions introduced Mazda's SKYACTIV technology for improved fuel efficiency. Overall, the Mazda CX-9 was a versatile and stylish option in the midsize SUV segment, offering a harmonious balance of performance and family-friendly features.
