A well-regarded choice in the 7-seater SUV category, the 2010 Mazda CX-9 pairs practicality with Mazda's trademark performance-focused driving experience. It's part of the model's first generation launched in 2007. The CX-9 is powered by a 273-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine that channels its power to the front wheels or all four wheels, depending on the trim, via a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle comes in Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trims. Key safety features include anti-lock brakes, stability control, front-impact airbags, side impact airbags, and overheaad airbags. On the infotainment front, a 6-CD changer, satellite radio, and Bluetooth are standard fare. The vehicle didn't see significant changes for the 2010 model year.
