What do you drive?

Refinement for seven. Driving exhilaration for one.
We’re Mazda. We refuse to accept what’s considered impossible. So in building the 7-passenger CX-9, we saw
no reason why something spacious and luxurious couldn’t also feel incredibly nimble. Being an SUV raised
by a pack of sports cars has its advantages, and none of them is more obvious than the CX-9’s exceptional
performance and handling. It may look like a high-class people-mover, but once you take the wheel, you’ll
realize just how much of a Mazda it is.
What do you drive?
Is it inspiring?
What were the people who built your car thinking?
Are they just another behemoth carmaker following the rules?
Or do they break them?
Do they push the boundaries of tradition and habit
to achieve the unachieved?
Are they insightful craftsmen,
obsessing over the details with a crazed passion?
Building less—building better—
for a discerning few?
Are you one of the few
who cares about what you drive,
how it drives
and the way it makes you feel?
We’re with you.
Because we believe if it’s not worth driving,
it’s not worth building.®
We build Mazdas.

2012 Editors’ Choice Award — Mid-Size SUVs
caranddriver.com, October 2012
At the improbable intersection of performance and luxury.
The Mazda CX-9 achieves what few other SUVs dare by combining opposing forces into one harmonious
package. Agile handling converges with the voluminous interior of a 7-passenger vehicle. Elegant styling
finds common ground with utilitarian design. Both flexible and focused, the CX-9 empowers you with an
uncompromising array of advanced technology and convenience features, including integrated Pandora®
Internet radio. One drive and you’ll wonder how Mazda engineers turn unlikely mergers into natural win-wins.

Where the finer points are grand.
Welcome to an interior designed to astonish with the smallest details. The Mazda CX-9
is a testament to craftsmanship, from its available leather seats—including an available
8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with available 3-setting memory system—to its
leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. No matter where you’re headed, you’re
surrounded by the touch of refinement.

Big on amenities.
In keeping up with life’s daily challenges, little things make a difference. The Mazda CX-9 has more
volume behind its first and second rows, and more second- and third-row legroom, than Honda Pilot,
Toyota Highlander and Acura MDX.

Even bigger on convenience.
We added two third-row storage bins that are big enough to hold electronic games and controllers for
the kids (and adults). And we also left room for eight cup holders and four one-liter bottle holders.
With such a thoughtfully designed interior, it’s easy to make it easy on everyone.

More than accents. A whole new language of luxury.
For driver and passengers alike, the smallest details are designed to make a grand statement about
craftsmanship. Surround yourself with rich trim and experience high-class contrasting stitching
on the available leather seats. Meticulous attention to detail is apparent everywhere as sport and
splendor merge with absolute harmony.

It’s your way on the highway.
Even the most passionate drivers enjoy being pampered, so our engineers
outfitted the CX-9 cockpit with the ultimate in comfort and convenience. The
long list of standard features includes steering-wheel-mounted audio controls
and cruise control, Bluetooth®hands-free phone and three-zone automatic
climate control. And now, integrated Pandora®Internet radio controls let
your personal taste in music be the soundtrack for any road trip.

It’s your way in every way.
Of course the CX-9 will get you to your destination swiftly
and safely, but it also keeps you entertained, connected and
comfortable along the way thanks to some smart features.
There’s a standard 6-speaker MP3 player-compatible audio
system with HD Radio that’s SiriusXM Satellite Radio
ready.* Or hook up your portable music device to the
standard USB audio input port. To help make finding your
destination quick and easy, a navigation system with a 5.8-inch
touch-screen display is also available, as are rain-sensing
wipers. Intelligence abounds.
