The first generation Mazda CX-9 turned out to be so successful in appearance and in terms of the technical component that it was able to hold out on the assembly line from 2006 to 2015, when the Japanese demonstrated the second generation of the flagship crossover at the international Los Angeles auto show. It is worth paying tribute to Japanese designers and engineers, since the novelty received updates on all fronts - it tried on a new KODO-style, and also received an improved interior, technical stuffing and a wide range of optional and standard equipment designed to provide the maximum level of comfort and safety for riders of all three rows of seats.
The Mazda people themselves do not hesitate to declare that the new Mazda CX 9 2017 offers the maximum possible and combines everything that fans of the brand love Mazda for. It is the company's largest, most productive and quietest car, offering exclusively premium materials, high-tech systems and a practical 7-seater interior.
Exterior Mazda CX-9 2017
Mazda CX-9 2017 exterior review should start with the fact that the car has finally tried on the corporate identity of "Kodo", thanks to which the crossover looks daring, attractive and graceful.
Aggressive "muzzle" of the car received an evil head optics, a massive false radiator grille and an elegant bumper with miniature foglights and a trapezoidal air intake.
The profile of the novelty is distinguished by a long hood, A-pillars heavily heaped towards the stern, muscular wheel arches and a sloping roofline, giving the car a swift and sporty look.
The futuristic stern received a narrowed-down look of LED marker lights, a large tailgate and a stylish bumper with a pair of exhaust pipes, which could have been larger.
The external dimensions of the flagship Mazda crossover are:
- Length - 5.075 m;
- Width - 1.969 m;
- Height - 1,747 m;
- Wheelbase length - 2.93 m.
The car boasts 220 mm ground clearance, as well as 18 and 20-inch wheels. Despite the impressive ground clearance, the Mazda CX-9 is not a full-fledged SUV, so this car is definitely not suitable for fans of mixing mud.
The manufacturer provides 7 body paint options (Machine Gray, Sonic Silver, Soul Red, Jet Blask, Deep Cristal Blue, Titanium Flash and Snowflake White Pearl), as well as several design variations of alloy wheels.
Interior Mazda CX-9 2017
The interior design of the car is made in a rich and branded Mazda style, with its inherent sporty aesthetics. A spectacular aluminum insert runs along the center of the front dashboard, conventionally dividing it into two "floors". On the upper floor of the central dashboard, a multimedia center with a 7 "monitor is registered, and on the lower floor there is a laconic and intuitive control unit for the climate system.
The driver's area is represented by a stylish three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, as well as three wells of instrument combinations, one of which is reserved for a 4.6-inch on-board computer screen, which displays various information about the condition of the car. When creating the interior, the Japanese used exclusively noble materials: soft plastics, genuine leather, rosewood and polished aluminum.
The quality of fit of the elements is also at a level worthy of a flagship.
It is also worth noting the presence of a large number of soundproofing materials, the total weight of which exceeds 24 kg, due to which the reference level of acoustic comfort is maintained even at high speeds.
Comfortable front row seats have a wide range of electrical adjustments, excellent lateral support and benchmark ergonomics. Between them is the central tunnel, on which the manufacturer has placed the gearshift lever, the multimedia center control washer and the wide armrest, which is indispensable on long trips.
The second row of seats is profiled for two, but it can easily interfere with the third passenger, but the gallery is only suitable for children. I would especially like to highlight the volume of the trunk, which even in the seven-seater version is equal to 408 liters.
By folding the third row of seats, the owner can get 1,082 liters of loading space, and by lowering the middle row of seats - as much as 2016 liters. Another advantage of the luggage compartment is the perfectly flat loading area, which makes it easy to transport bulky goods, as well as a repair kit and a small spare wheel located under the raised floor.
