The 2013 Mazda CX-9 is a second-generation 7-passenger midsize SUV. This model year marked an aesthetic refresh, highlighting a more sophisticated exterior design that follows Mazda's Kodo design language. Two trims were offered: the Touring and the Grand Touring, both equipped with a 3.7-liter V6 engine delivering 273 horsepower. This power is managed by a 6-speed automatic transmission, with the option of front-wheel or all-wheel drive. Notable safety features include roll stability control, traction control, and a multitude of airbags for comprehensive protection. In terms of technology, the CX-9 offered Bluetooth connectivity, a 5.8-inch touchscreen display, and an optional navigation system. This model faithfully represents Mazda's spirit of 'Zoom-Zoom' driving pleasure with its sporty handling set within a family-friendly package.
