How the 2017 Mazda CX-9 Got on the List
Feels Like a Luxury SUV
Gaining the appeal of others, the Mazda CX-9's striking design offers refined details often seen in luxury vehicles. Inside, the cabin is both spacious and luxurious, making occupants feel as if its their own private retreat. The Mazda CX-9 offers upscale materials and trims such as available Nappa leather seating & interior trim and genuine Rosewood used in some of the world's finest musical instruments – the Mazda CX-9 produces a multi-sensory driving experience of sophistication and indulgence.
Drives Like a Smaller Vehicle
Beyond its stylish good looks and versatile capability, the Mazda CX-9 drives nothing like an SUV. Narrow pillars and a comparatively low seating position give the SUV great visibility and a decidedly un-SUV-like sensation from behind the wheel. It feels a fraction of its size on the road, aided by the light and accurate steering Mazda owners have come to expect.
Award-Winning Engine
Under the hood of the Mazda CX-9 is the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L that was named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2017. The judges at WardsAuto recognized the turbocharged SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L because it serves as validation of the innovation that everything Mazda did was focused on creating value and strong trust with its customers.
The turbocharged engine gives you the power you desire for driving on roads like the Turnpike and the Garden State as soon as you hit the gas pedal thanks to the use of Dynamic Pressure Turbo. It replaced the previous CX-9 generation's V6 to eliminate more than 250 lbs and improve EPA-estimated fuel efficiency by 25% compared with its predecessor.
This seamless responsiveness plays an important part to Mazda's philosophy in striving for oneness between car and driver. In October and November, WardsAuto editors evaluated the 40 vehicles by driving them to and from home, work, school, the hardware store and on weekend road trips.
