FEEL ALIVE
Can the soul of a car company touch the heart of its drivers? Mazda believes so, making it their pursuit and passion. This inspiration drives them to be inventive, push limits, and perpetually improve. Mazda breathes life into metal, transforms light into art, tunes engines to a feeling, and forms a bond between human and machine. For over 100 years, Mazda has prioritized ingenuity over conventional thinking, expressed on the road and track. They use technology to enhance the human touch, not replace it. The goal is not just to build a car, but to create a connection that grows stronger with every drive, making drivers feel alive.
Kodo: "Soul of Motion" Design
Representing a bold translation of Mazda's Kodo: "Soul of Motion" design language, the Mazda CX-9 is a sophisticated three-row SUV that invigorates every journey. Its extended hood, elegant profile, and bold new grille command attention. The Carbon Edition enhances this with striking exterior accents like Polymetal Gray paint, a gloss black front grille, black side mirrors, and metallic black 20-inch alloy wheels.
Every detail of the design process is intentional, including the paint. Master painters perfect their technique by hand, ensuring the CX-9's surface has depth and saturation. Color is applied with precision, illuminating the Kodo design's curves. This human technique is replicated by the machines used for painting. Mazda offers a daring array of lustrous finishes, including the new Polymetal Gray Metallic on Carbon Edition models, designed to catch and hold your gaze.

Engineered with a Single Focus: You
Mazda has decades of study into the human body, focusing on movement, touch, sound, sight, and skeletal structure. This research informs the CX-9's intuitive interior, designed to feel custom-built. The seats are shaped for comfort and relaxation, promoting a steadier, more balanced posture. This human-centric design philosophy, known as Jinba Ittai (horse and rider as one), extends to the driving experience. The chassis and powertrain are tuned to the body's natural sense of motion, creating a car that intuitively responds to inputs, fostering an effortless feeling of control. The Mazda CX-9 aims to make you feel energized and rejuvenated, as if you are one with your Mazda.
The interior offers sophisticated details for all three rows. Front seats feature standard heating and available ventilation. Second-row options include available captain's chairs with a center console or walk-through, or a standard 60/40 split bench with an Easy Slide-and-Tilt feature for third-row access. USB chargers are available throughout the second and third rows.
The Mazda CX-9 Signature trim redefines refinement with an upscale interior, featuring Santos Rosewood inlays, updated accents, second-row captain's chairs with a center console, a unique stitched leather-wrapped steering wheel, and quilted Nappa leather seats in Deep Chestnut or Parchment. Every inch of the cabin is crafted to enhance the driving experience.
The Mazda Takumi are artisans who hone their skills over years to achieve mastery. Their passion, patience, and persistence are evident in every design, from sketch to stitch. They can carve clay into art, using sight and touch to perfect every curve. This human energy is transferred to the vehicle's sheet metal, breathing life into it and creating an enriching emotional bond between designer and driver.
Powerfully Refined
Mazda's commitment to the ideal driving experience led to Skyactiv® Technology, designed to make cars powerful yet efficient. The Mazda CX-9 features a potent Skyactiv-G 2.5 Turbo engine delivering up to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque (with 93 octane fuel), providing immediate acceleration for merging or passing.
Fuel economy estimates are 22 city/28 highway MPG for FWD models and 20 city/26 highway MPG for AWD models (actual results will vary).
An Ingenious Way to Predict Traction Loss
To extend the Jinba Ittai philosophy to various driving situations, Mazda engineered the i-Activ AWD® system with Off-road Traction Assist. This system actively monitors conditions like outside temperature and driver inputs to predict traction changes before they occur, responding proactively to help maintain grip and confidence.
G-Vectoring Control Plus works seamlessly to enhance confidence by adjusting engine torque and applying subtle braking pressure to the outside front wheel, imperceptibly shifting vehicle weight to stabilize the car through turns, creating a more intimate connection between car and driver.
More Confidence for a More Inspiring Drive
Confidence is key to an inspiring drive. The Mazda CX-9 is equipped with i-Activsense®, an intelligent suite of safety features designed to alert drivers to hazards and help avoid or lessen collision impacts. This includes Blind Spot Monitoring, available Driver Attention Alert, and standard/available automatic braking systems for forward and reverse maneuvers.
Make a Smarter Connection
Mazda Connected Services, standard on all CX-9 models, allows access to vehicle health reports, remote engine start, and door locking/unlocking via the MyMazda App. The CX-9 can also feature in-car Wi-Fi and access to emergency services like automatic 911 dialing and roadside assistance, complimentary for the first three years. Controls are placed within reach, and the intuitive instrument panel keeps gauges and displays in the driver's line of sight. The Mazda Connect™ Infotainment System features a larger 10.25-inch center display with standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration.
Balancing Silence and Sound
Mazda's approach to sound focuses on letting the right sounds in while keeping distracting noises out. The CX-9 cabin reduces vibrations and uses sound-insulating materials to subdue outside clamor, creating a refined listening experience. An available 12-speaker premium audio system from Bose® is engineered for the CX-9's acoustics, providing deep and impactful sound reproduction.
Making Every Day a Little More Effortless
The Mazda CX-9 is designed to make bringing discoveries home easier. It offers ample cargo room that expands with fold-down 2nd- and 3rd-row seats. An available hands-free Rear Power Liftgate, operated by a foot wave beneath the rear bumper, simplifies loading and unloading gear and groceries.
