Quick Look

The Mazda CX-9 is the company’s largest vehicle on the market and it goes head-to-head with some of the top players. The 2015 CX-9 adds to the segment fun-to-drive qualities that outshine the competition, but no major redesigns in years have left this full-size SUV showing its age a bit.




Full Review

With three rows and seating for up to seven passengers, the Mazda CX-9 is showing a new side of its personality. But don’t let the large size of the vehicle distract you from what it is – a Mazda vehicle. This car is fun to drive and offers peppiness that is missing in a lot of the competition. It’s been a part of the Mazda lineup since its debut in 2007, which is when this full-size SUV has had a few facelifts – one in 2010 and again in 2013, but no complete overhauls, which is causing the CX-9 to show its age amongst the extremely tough competition. The SUV is offered in three trim levels: the base Sport, midlevel Touring and top-shelf Grand Touring. There are options within the line and within the segment, but when it comes to the Mazda CX-9, there is a lot of value to be found in this vehicle.

The exterior look of the Mazda CX-9 is holding up well over the years. With a few facelifts along the way, a seven-year-old design has managed to stand the test of time quite well. The sleek look is still one of the more stylish in the segment and thanks to the updated grille a few years back, the CX-9 also looks like a distinct part of the Mazda lineup. Mazda has recently introduced a new design strategy called Kodo, or “soul of motion,” which the automaker applied to the front and rear ends of the vehicle. The back end gets some cool details such as bold red taillights and shiny twin exhausts. The overall shape of the vehicle, despite its large size, manages to look handsome thanks to the well laid-out proportions. Standard features on the Sport model include 18-inch alloy wheels and a sporty roof spoiler. Moving up in trims adds larger wheels, upgraded headlights and standard fog lights.

The interior of the CX-9 is highlighted by the intuitive design and gaping cabin space.  The dashboard has a flowing waterfall design that falls into the door panels to give the design a nice flair. The materials used are nothing to write home about as they don’t have any remarkable features or any soft-touch surfaces for that matter. All of the components are, however, tied together quite well. As for space, there is a lot of it to be found in the CX-9. The front row and second row offer ample head and legroom for passengers. This third row is on the tighter side and should be saved for children; however, that is nothing out of the ordinary for this segment. In fact, thanks to the sliding second-row seats, getting in and out of the third row in the Mazda CX-9 is a breeze compared to some of the competition. There is an impressive amount of storage space in the CX-9, topping out at 100.7 cubic feet with the second and third rows stowed away.

Technology features on the Mazda CX-9 are still competitive, but definitely beginning to fall behind the class. Standard on the Sport model is a 5.8-inch touchscreen displays that we’re thankful is standard, but find a touch too small for the overall size of the vehicle. This system displays all of the information and entertainment functions of the vehicle and also controls the six-speaker HD radio. Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity are both standard, but you can add features like a navigation system, premium 10-speaker Bose surround-sound system and satellite radio.

The 2015 Mazda CX-9 carries the same powertrain as last year. Under the hood is a 3.7-litre V6 engine that produces 273 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a six-speed automatic transmission that has manual shift control. The CX-9 is available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Overall, the 2015 Mazda CX-9 is a good option as far as people-hauling full-size SUVs go. This vehicle may be beginning to show its age, but there are enough features to keep the vehicle relevant and competitive – though perhaps not for long.

Power and Performance:

The 2015 Mazda CX-9 carries on with a 3.7-liter V6 with 273 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. It's plenty of muscle to get the CX-9 moving briskly, and in all models it's connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift mode. CX-9s come standard with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is available and is a smart option if you regularly drive in inclement weather, especially snow. While the engine has plenty of grunt, its fuel economy of 24 mpg on the highway lags many competitors. However, it drinks regular unleaded gasoline.

Interiors and Special Features:

The Mazda CX-9's comfortable interior offers plenty of luxury features, but is starting to look a little dated in some areas. First the good. The driver and front passenger have plenty of space, and the 2nd-row passengers get great leg- and headroom as well. Everything is easy to find and use, and there's decent storage space in the center console bin, glove box and various door-mounted bins. Unfortunately, the navigation system boasts a low-resolution, dated interface; there's little cargo space behind the third row, and that third row is strictly for the under-10 set.

Safety features:

The 2015 Mazda CX-9 comes in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring models, all offering six airbags, anti-lock brakes and stability and traction controls. Sport models get 3-zone automatic climate control, a 5.8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with a 6-speaker HD Radio, and auxiliary and USB inputs, cruise control, remote keyless entry and 18-inch wheels. Touring models add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, a rearview camera and leather upholstery with heated power front seats. The Grand Touring models add 3-position-memory to the driver's seat, automatic bi-xenon headlights, power tailgate, rain-sensing wipers, auto-dimming rearview mirror and 20-inch wheels.
