The launch of this great crossover model surprised most of market spectators and fans in view of its outstanding features and advanced capabilities, both in exterior, interior as well as the technical performance of the engine. By launching this model, Mazda has managed to achieve the difficult equation, where it managed to combine technical and performance characteristics with maximum safety factors, and thus the model got 10 global recognition awards from various parties worldwide.
The CX-9’s most significant design attributes have always been a visual presence that highlights its status as Mazda’s high-end SUV and sporty proportions that are more striking than those of any other SUV. The CX-9’s design remains distinctive and continues to earn acclaim.
"Mazda adopted the KODO — Soul of Motion’design theme beginning with the CX-5, the first model in the new generation of Mazda products.
We’re refining our techniques for expressing movement and evolving our designs to give a stronger sense of vitality. The facelifted CX-9’s mission is to carry forward the Mazda brand and maintain the CX-9’s own standing," the company stated.
"The results of the facelift reflect these facts. We adopted the KODO — Soul of Motion design theme in the exterior design to boost the CX-9’s visual presence and evolve its appearance more extensively than is typical in a facelift. With the interior design, we adopted new color schemes and new decorative materials to create an environment that combines sportiness with a prestige look and feel," the statement added.
The new generation of Mazda CX9 is equipped with an aluminum V-6 3.7 engine produces 273 hp linked to an automatic 6-speed gearbox.
In its exterior design, Mazda blended the KODO — Soul of Motion design theme with the sporty, futuristic SUV proportions that are among the CX-9’s distinctive characteristics.
Mazda changed the bumper, grille, headlamps, and every other element of the front view.
The taut look of the bumper corners in the rear view heightens the impression of stability, and the rear combination lamps have new-generation design signatures. The rear of the facelifted CX-9 is therefore more striking.
Carrying forward the wheel design from the pre-facelift CX-9, Mazda added a highluster finish to the 20-inch aluminum wheels. The new finish gives the 20-inch aluminium wheels a more richly contoured, metallic look.
