Basics About the 2023 Mazda CX-9
Powertrain
The CX-9 offers powerful turbocharged performance from its 2.5L Skyactiv-G Dynamic Pressure Turbo inline-4, producing up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Pairing with the engine is the speedy Skyactiv-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission, which comes with manual shifting and a sport mode for extra fun and responsiveness. Plus, that fun can be had guilt-free since the vehicle achieves an impressive EPA-rated 26 highway MPG.
The standard i-Activ AWD system allows you to navigate through inclement weather with little worry as it constantly adjust power distribution to give you the maximum traction available.
Chassis
As you’re cruising the streets, the CX-9’s independent suspension soaks up road bumps to give you a comfortable ride. When making tight turns, the front MacPherson strut, multi-link rear setup, and stabilizer bars keep the vehicle steady and under your control. The well-balanced steering results in precise direction changes, and diagonal hydraulic brakes quickly bring the vehicle to a stop with the help of braking assist and electronic brakeforce distribution.
Interior
Besides its excellent performance, the CX-9 stands out from the competition with its beautifully designed passenger cabin that uses a generous amount of premium materials. Extra layers of sophistication are added by the Signature model’s Nappa leather-upholstered and quilted seats, genuine Santos rosewood inlays, and unique aluminum trim. All trims come standard with tri-zone climate control, heated front seats, and driver power lumbar support.

Useful applications and information are easy to access and read thanks to the CX-9’s standard 10.25-inch infotainment display, Multifunction Commander control knob, and voice recognition system. The infotainment system includes smartphone integration, HD Radio, Bluetooth hands-free phone and streaming audio, and up to six USB ports. Every model also comes with wireless device charging for greater convenience.
