The first CX-9 rolled off the assembly line in 2006. With each new model year, Mazda has improved the CX-9’s pleasant driver experiences.


The CX-9 is a mid-size three-row crossover SUV suited for 7-passengers. Designed to make driving enjoyable for those who look to enjoy the drive while hauling people, the CX-9 deserves serious consideration.

This Mazda is powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.5 T turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 227 hp at 5,000 rpm and 310 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm. 

Fuel economy is rated at 28 mpg highway and 25 mpg combined. With an estimated 4.0 gallons per 100 miles the math works out to an annual cost of $1,800. 

The CX-9 is designed with a nod to superb technology while driving supremely well.
