The 2014 Mazda CX-9 is a large seven-seat SUV with remarkable sporty performance for a vehicle of its size. The only engine option is a 3.7L V6 producing 273 hp, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive as standard and all-wheel drive being optional. The CX-9 is offered in three trims: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. All trims come with a 5.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, while the Touring and Grand Touring extend their tech offerings with rearview cameras and blind-spot monitoring. This year represents the last of the first-generation CX-9, with a refresh on the horizon for the following year. Despite its age, the CX-9 still offered an engaging drive and a stylish design.
