Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has announced the CX-9 will return for its second-generation’s sophomore model year with an unchanged $31,520 starting MSRP when it reaches dealerships later this month.
The mid-level CX-9 Touring adds standard with Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) - a feature previously offered only in the CX-9 Touring’s available options package as well as Grand Touring and Signature models.
In entry Sport trim, the CX-9 comes standard with LED headlights and taillights as well as fabric seating surfaces, an electronic parking brake, 18-inch wheels, rear backup camera, trailer stability assist, Mazda Connect infotainment with Commander control and a 7-inch color display. Optionally available is the Sport Package, which adds a power driver’s seat, heated front seats and heated door mirrors.
The CX-9 Touring adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, SCBS, HomeLink garage door openers, black- or sand-colored leather seating surfaces, Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry System, a power liftgate, power front seats, and an 8-inch Mazda Connect touchscreen display. Customers also can opt for the Touring Premium Package, which further includes automatic on/off headlights, LED fog lights, navigation, a premium 12-speaker BOSE audio system, rain-sensing wipers, rear backup sensors, second-row retractable sunshades, SiriusXM satellite radio and a sunroof.
Further heightening the CX-9 lineup is the Grand Touring model, which builds upon the Sport and Touring trim levels with Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), 20-inch wheels, aluminum interior trim, Mazda’s first Active Driving Display that projects instrument and navigation information onto the windshield, high-beam control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Smart Brake Support, roof rails and memory settings on the driver’s seat.
Finally, the CX-9 Signature tops the lineup with standard predictive i-ACTIV all-wheel drive - a system that uses 27 sensors, measuring conditions more than 200 times per second to determine how to allocate power to each wheel as to minimize ever feeling the wheels slip.
The CX-9 Signature adorns its interior with Auburn-colored Nappa leather, rosewood supplied by Japanese guitar-maker Fujigen, LED signature accent grille lighting and LED accent lighting around the automatic shifter.
All models come powered by Mazda’s turbocharged SkyActiv-G 2.5T engine, which generates a punchy 310 lb-ft of torque from just 2,000 rpm on either 87- or 93-octane gasoline. It also produces 250 hp on 93-octane gasoline (227 hp on 87-octane) and nets class-leading EPA-estimated fuel-economy ratings on either gasoline grade - 22 mpg city/28 mpg highway/24 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive configuration.
That engine is paired with a standard SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed automatic and is available in front-wheel drive or i-ACTIV all-wheel drive.
