The Mazda CX-9 is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Mazda.
Up until 2016 model, the CX-9 was built on the Ford CD3 platform shared with the Ford Edge and Ford Fusion, and used the same 3.7 L V6 engine. The 2016 model was a major redesign of CX-9 which was no longer based on the Ford lineup. Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models of the CX-9 are available.
The CX-9 is manufactured at the Ujina 1 plant in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan.
Despite being built in Japan, the CX-9 is not sold in Japan's domestic market. However, Mazda plans to sell the second-generation model in Japan, starting October 2016.
The 2007 CX-9 was fitted with a 3.5 L Cyclone V6 engine. Standard safety equipment included electronic stability control, traction control, roll stability control, front-side impact airbags, and three-row side-curtain airbags. Options included DVD navigation system, hands-free Bluetooth phone link, backup camera, and a rear entertainment system with Bose 5.1 surround sound.
For the 2008 model year, the engine was changed to a 3.7 L unit producing 204 kW (274 hp) and 366 N·m (270 lb·ft) of torque. The engine went into production in June 2007 at Mazda’s engine plant in Japan. The 2008 CX-9 uses an Aisin F21++ six-speed automatic transmission with a console-mounted shifter in a complex gate. Mazda also introduced (in select trim lines) blind-spot monitoring, rearview mirror-mounted backup camera, and collision avoidance/blind spot warning detection.
