If the bland, cookie-cutter styling of other Crossover SUVs doesn’t suite your taste, feast your
eyes on the Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring. And savor a true original. With bold, athletic styling and
a confident stance to ensure it doesn’t look like anything else. With real 7-passenger flexibility
and a host of refined interior features to ensure it doesn’t feel like anything else. Plus the
spirited road manners and confidence-inspiring handling of a Mazda. Which, of course, ensure
that it doesn’t perform like anything else. So why are so many families suddenly crossing even
more expensive Crossovers off their lists in favor of the CX-9? Simple. Originality has its rewards.

receive calls, access voicemail messages and more—all hands-free

Since the Mazda CX-9’s cockpit was inspired by world-class sports
sedans, you’ll find it exceptionally well-equipped. Which is why
a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat is standard on every CX-9 Sport.
And an 8-way power-adjustable seat is available (and standard
on the Touring and Grand Touring). Both provide a feeling that’s
as supportive as it is comfortable and refined. And a reassuring
fit that’s more akin to a custom-tailored suit than an ill-fitting
overcoat. Equally well-tailored to your expectations are other
insightful interior features. Naturally, power windows, mirrors
and door locks—as well as cruise control—are all standard. As
is a leather-wrapped steering wheel that tilts and telescopes
to deliver a more comfortable driving position. There’s even
a three-zone automatic climate-control system that allows
individualized settings for driver and passenger areas. And

Unlike some SUVs,the CX-9’s side sills and cabin floor are actually flush. This insightful
feature eliminates the danger of tripping over a side sill that can be as much as 3 inches
higher than the floor in other SUVs. In contrast to some SUVs, the CX-9’s large rear doors
can open up 72º, creating an extrawide opening that makes entering and exiting far easier.
The 2nd-row seat features nearly 5 inches of forward/backward
travel plus a reclining seatback for extra legroom and comfort.
One hand is all it takes to operate the CX-9’s ingenious
rear-access latch. It tilts and slides the 2nd-row seat forward
to give you nearly 9 inches of foot space and easy access to
3rd-row seating.
Your whole family is going to get more out of the Mazda CX-9.
Because we’ve made it so easy to get more into it. Fact is, well
before we sculpted the CX-9’s sleek, athletic exterior, Mazda
engineers endowed it with a purposefully long 113.2-inch
wheelbase. So it accommodates 7 adults with remarkable ease
and comfort. We also designed the CX-9’s cabin to provide a
host of other family-oriented advantages. Like ample legroom
for both 2nd- and 3rd-row passengers. Easy access to 3rd-row
seating. And a surprising abundance of cargo room behind the
3rd-row seats. In fact, converting the CX-9 from a people mover
to cargo hauler couldn’t be easier. A simple tug on the 3rd-row
release straps is all it takes to quickly fold the 50/50 split rear
seatback down—and gain 48.4 cu ft of cargo space. Folding the
2nd-row 60/40 split seatback gives you a whopping 100.7 cu ft
of total cargo space to fill. And all without the hassle of having
to remove any headrests. Other insightful standard features
include: Dual LATCH child-safety-seat anchors in the 2nd-row
seat. Two 3rd-row storage bins designed to hold electronic games
and controllers. Eight cup holders. Four 1-liter-bottle holders.
Plus a surprisingly large under-floor cargo area storage box. All
of which gives the CX-9 one of the most spacious, versatile and
practical cabins of any Crossover SUV on the planet.
Behind the 3rd-row seat in every CX-9, you’ll find a
generous 17.2 cu ft of cargo room—plus an under-floor
storage box with nearly 2.0 cu ft of additional storage space.

“Triple H” Construction. Standard on
all CX-9s. “Triple H” construction adds
extra steel reinforcements to critical body
areas, enhancing structural integrity, impact
protection and handling.
Traction Control System. Standard on
all CX-9s. In difficult driving conditions,
a Traction Control System electronically,
and automatically, minimizes wheelspin
to help maintain traction and control.
Four-Wheel Ventilated Disc Brakes With
ABS & EBD. Standard on all CX-9s. Four-wheel
ventilated disc brakes with an Anti-lock Brake
System promote linear, fade-resisting stopping
power. While Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
more effectively, and automatically, regulates
braking power between front and rear.
positions and a Tire-Pressure Monitoring System. Some are less obvious and well-concealed by the CX-9’s shapely sheet metal. Including side-impact door
beams and front and rear crumple zones. Others, like a “crushable” brake pedal that folds away in an accident to minimize the chance of a serious ankle
or leg injury, are an integral part of the CX-9’s refined interior. In short, the CX-9 was engineered to be among the safest vehicles in its class.
* Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seat belts.
The Mazda CX-9 is painstakingly engineered to make your family’s safety a top priority. Which is why advanced safety features such as Roll Stability
Control, front and side-impact air bags, plus side-impact air curtains for all 3 rows are all standard features.* Not extra-cost options. In fact, every CX-9 is
equipped with a cutting-edge array of passive and active safety systems. Some are as easy to see and appreciate as 3-point seat belts for all seven seating

air bags plus side-impact air curtains* with

cornering and emergencies, Dynamic Stability
Control electronically manages engine torque
and braking forces to help enhance vehicle
control and minimize the chance of a spinout.
Roll Stability Control. Standard on all CX-9s.
Roll Stability Control uses roll-rate-sensor data to
electronically manage engine torque and braking
forces during extreme cornering and accident
avoidance maneuvers—minimizing the chance
of tires losing contact with the road.
