Chronology
Successor Mazda CX-90

The Mazda CX-9 is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured since April 2006 by Mazda in Japan, at its Ujina #1 plant in Hiroshima Prefecture. With three-row seating, it was Mazda's largest passenger vehicle until its successor the CX-90. The CX-9 was positioned above the CX-8.

Despite being built in Japan, the export-only CX-9 was never offered in the Japanese domestic market, as it exceeds a major threshold in the Japanese dimension and engine displacement regulations which obligates a large annual road tax bill.[1] The shorter and narrower Mazda CX-8 is offered in the Japanese domestic market.

At the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, Mazda revealed the second generation CX-9, nine years after the previous version launched. The 2016 Mazda CX-9 was brand new, based on the Skyactiv platform and engines that are shared with other new Mazdas introduced after 2011. Production started in February 2016.[4]

The second generation Mazda CX-9 uses a turbocharged version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv-G gasoline engine, producing 227 hp (230 PS; 169 kW) on 87 AKI octane fuel (91 RON) and 250 hp (253 PS; 186 kW) on premium fuel and 420 N·m (43 kg·m; 310 lb·ft) of torque. The engine is joined with a six speed automatic transmission. The U.S. EPA rates the all-wheel drive 2016 Mazda CX-9 at 21 mpg-US (25 mpg-imp; 11 L/100 km) city and 26 mpg-US (31 mpg-imp; 9.0 L/100 km) highway.

The new exterior design follows Mazda's Kodo design philosophy. It is shorter than before, but rides on a longer wheelbase, resulting in shorter front and rear overhangs. Weight is also down 90 kg (198 lb) in the FWD versions and by 130 kg (287 lb) in AWD versions.

Mazda added many new active safety systems on the new CX-9. These include the Blind Spot Monitoring, Radar Cruise Control with a Stop/Start function, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Control, Autonomous Emergency Braking (low & high speed).

The CX-9 will be discontinued in the U.S. market after 2023, being replaced by the CX-90 as Mazda's three-row flagship SUV.[5][6]
