2008 Mazda CX-9

Ignoring the big, boxy standards of traditional SUVs, Mazda’s seven-passenger CX-9 marks the dawn of a new era. A crossover sport-utility designed specifically for couples and families who want to drive a stylish, smart vehicle that fits their lifestyles, the CX-9 combines the practicality of an SUV with the outstanding performance and luxury of a sports car. And its exterior is certain to stun.

It has a powerful 273 HP 3.7-liter V6 engine with a 6-speed transmission for optimum acceleration and passing performance. This is zoom-zoom at it’s best!

Exterior

The CX-9 is a breakthrough in style, performance, and practicality, combining the soul of a sports car with the convenience of a 3-row Crossover SUV.

From the first look, the CX-9 makes a bold impression. Start with the sleek, sophisticated exterior styling. Then move on to luxurious details like chrome accented dual exhaust pipes and available bright finish door handles, signature front grille and badges, and a sporty, steeply angled windshield.

Interior

The luxurious and spacious interior offers the best of both worlds. The boldly styled cockpit features electroluminescent gauges with additional blue indirect lighting on the GT model. Available finely crafted leather seating and wood tone details represent the height of style and sophistication. The third row affords easy access seating, comfortably accommodating up to seven people. The rear rows can be effortlessly folded down for more cargo. In the CX-9 everyone rides in style, from the driver’s seat all the way back to the third row.

Performance

In every Mazda lives the soul of a sports car. A powerful 273 horsepower, 3.7-liter 24-valve V6 engine provides the exhilarating acceleration that all true enthusiasts crave. The nimble Macpherson strut front suspension gives you absolute confidence as you negotiate even the most demanding curves. And the smooth 6-Speed Sport automatic transmission always keeps you in perfect gear, from the wide-open road to city stop and go. Sporty. Athletic. Fun-to-drive. In a word? Zoom-Zoom.
