The 2023 Mazda CX-9 is a six-or-seven passenger utility vehicle that’s offered in five trims: Touring, Touring Plus, Carbon Edition, Grand Touring, and Signature. Each is given a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 227 hp and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, but premium fuel provides a boost to 250 hp and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drivetrain complete the mechanical big picture. All trims can tow up to 3,500 pounds, and the EPA-estimated fuel economy across the board is 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
The Touring seats six with a pair second-row captain’s chairs and a two-person 50/50-split rear bench seat; the first two rows are leather-upholstered, and the front seats are heated and power-adjustable. This trim also gets LED headlights and fog lights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, heated side mirrors with turn-signal indicators, a power liftgate, proximity entry (Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry), push-button ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, illuminated vanity mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, an overhead console sunglasses holder, a wireless phone charger, and a cargo area with underfloor storage. Occupants will be fully comfortable thanks to three zones of automatic climate control, plus they’ll enjoy the open feeling of the moonroof. The Touring Plus adds roof rails, second-row sunshades, a frameless rearview mirror, a 60/40-split second-row bench seat (which increases seating to seven) with a folding center armrest, position memory for the driver’s seat, and ventilated front seats.
The Carbon Edition comes with heated captain’s chairs and flaunts a more signature appearance owing to its Polymetal Gray exterior paint, black interior and exterior trim, and red leather upholstery. It also has an adaptive front lighting system, a windshield wiper de-icer, power-folding side mirrors, LED interior lighting, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, a 7-inch instrument cluster, a heated steering wheel, and heated second-row seats.
The Grand Touring gets the second-row bench seat and goes back to the conventional interior and exterior palette; it also gains a sleek head-up display. The Signature is appointed with the captain’s chairs and is loaded with LED grille accent lighting, larger exhaust pipes, a hands-free liftgate, unique aluminum interior trim, Santos Rosewood interior inlays, a stitched leather-wrapped steering wheel, and Nappa leather upholstery. For all trims with the bench seat, the captain’s chairs can be swapped in as an option.
The 2023 Mazda CX-9 is loaded with the high-tech driving aids that drivers look for these days. In the Touring and Touring Plus, the list includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane-keep assist. The Carbon Edition receives front and rear parking sensors, driver attention alert, and reverse automatic braking, while the Grand Touring and Signature get all of the above plus a 360-degree monitor.
All trims come with a 10.25-inch central touchscreen that houses the vehicle’s infotainment system. In the Touring and Touring Plus, the multimedia setup has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, a six-speaker sound system, HD radio, and voice recognition. The Carbon Edition upgrades to a deluxe 12-speaker Bose audio system with surround sound and adds SiriusXM satellite radio. The Grand Touring and Signature have SiriusXM with Traffic and Travel Link, plus integrated navigation.
