Why You Should Consider the 2023 Mazda CX-9

September 14 2022,

If you are looking for a practical SUV that can carry your whole family and all of its luggage but you don’t want to give up on the fun of driving, the 2023 Mazda CX-9 could be a great choice for you.

Impressive driving dynamics

Indeed, the 2023 Mazda CX-9 stays true to its maker’s reputation by being one of the most fun-to-drive options in the three-row SUV segment. This is achieved by a carefully tuned suspension and a precise steering system that make for a much more engaging driving experience than you might expect from such a large SUV. In addition, the CX-9 is only available with the most powerful engine currently made by Mazda. This turbocharged 2.5L Skyactiv four-cylinder engine is capable of generating up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque when the tank is filled with 93 octane fuel, which is more torque than the V6 engines found in some competitors. Despite this, the CX-9 remains very efficient, with a consumption figure of only 9.0 L/100 km on the highway.

A generous interior

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 benefits from the largest interior and the only third-row seat of any current Mazda vehicle, which means it is very practical for an active family. The third row means it can carry up to 7 passengers when the middle-row bench seat is ordered and the large dimensions mean that everyone on board remains comfortable on longer trips. By folding all of the rear seats, the CX-9 can also accommodate very large items easily due to its 2,016 litres of cargo space. Of course, any combination of seating and cargo can be chosen to best fit the transportation needs of every situation.

A CX-9 for everyone

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 is available in five different trim levels that make it possible to find the perfect CX-9 for every driver. If you have a smaller budget, the GS and GS-L will offer you more standard features than most competitors despite their affordable prices. If you are after more luxury, the additional equipment of the GT and the exclusivity of the Kuro will satisfy you, and if you want the ultimate in terms of CX-9 refinement and comfort, the top-of-the-line Signature will be your choice.
