The two second-row seats are separated by an impressively appointed central console and offer individual electric adjustment, as well as heating and ventilation functions.
‘Walk-in’ electronic access to the third row seats, improved infotainment and connectivity as well as a 10.25 inch touch screen and a host of additional safety features complete the standard package.
CX-9 is powered by a 2.5L Skyactive turbo 4 Cyl petrol engine that produces a reasonable 170Kw/420Nm. There is a six speed AT and I=Active AWD.
Mazda CX-9 has always been a slightly underrated luxury AWD SUV and the latest model is excellent priced from around $73,875 plus the usual costs it’s a little pricey but definitely should be on the shopping list
