2023 Mazda CX-9

For 2023, car buyers can find the Mazda CX-9 in five trim levels: Touring, Touring Plus, Carbon Edition, Grand Touring, and Signature. The Touring trim level starts things off with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a sunroof, a power liftgate, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. If you opt for the Touring Plus trim level, you also get roof rails and a dark-finish grille, as well as 20-inch black-painted wheels. The Carbon Edition trim level enhances the CX-9 with power-folding exterior side mirrors, a windshield wiper de-icer system, adaptive headlights, and a hands-free liftgate. The Signature trim level tops things off with an exclusive grille design and LED lighting. As you shop for the Mazda CX-9, you will find the SUV in six exterior paint colors. These colors are both neutral shades and bold colors. The neutral options are Snowflake White Pearl Mica, Sonic Silver Metallic, Machine Gray Metallic, and Jet Black Mica and the more colorful options are Deep Crystal Blue Mica and Soul Red Crystal Metallic.

All versions of the 2023 Mazda CX-9 are powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 227 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This engine links to a six-speed automatic transmission.

One of the most attractive features of the CX-9 is its standard all-wheel drive. No matter which trim level of this Mazda you select, the vehicle comes with an all-wheel-drive system that provides an in-control feeling on a variety of terrain.

This SUV has three rows of seats and can accommodate as many as seven. Leather upholstery, tri-zone automatic climate control, and power-adjustable front seats are standard, while second-row captain's chairs are optional. If you pick these chairs, rider capacity changes to six. As far as infotainment is concerned, the CX-9 comes stacked with attractive features. A 10.25-inch display sits on the dash that works with USB ports, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. These features allow drivers to stay connected during their commute. Users can sync their smartphone to the Mazda SUV to play their saved podcasts and music or use voice commands to make hands-free phone calls and send hands-free text messages.

Safety is standard with the 2023 Mazda CX-9. The SUV comes with lane-keeping assist, which uses sensors and corrective steering to help drivers stay in their lane if they begin to drift. Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is also standard and warns drivers if a vehicle is in their path when switching lanes. Yet another standard driver-assist safety technology that comes with the CX-9 is adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go operation. This technology allows drivers to operate the vehicle at a set speed, which also brakes and accelerates with the flow of traffic.
