Mazda CX-9 Performance
 |
3.7 litre V6 S-VT engineYou would never guess a 7-seat SUV could be so nimble but thanks to a 3.7 litre V6 engine producing 204kW of power and 367Nm of torque, outstanding acceleration and passing performance is standard. What does this all mean at the pump? Running on regular unleaded this highly efficient V6 engine is just as economical, using only 12.2 litres per 100km on the combined cycle. |

6-speed Activematic transmissionA compact 6-speed Activematic transmission perfectly complements the 3.7 litre V6 engine, extracting maximum performance while providing relaxed, comfortable shifting and optimal fuel efficiency. And when you feel like releasing the sports car driver inside, a psuedo-manual mode permits manual control of upshifts and downshifts for spirited driving. |

Active Torque Split (ATS) AWD systemThe Active Torque Split (ATS) all-wheel drive system achieves a fine balance between sporty control over the car (that makes it particularly fun-to-drive) and handling on wet surfaces or under other challenging road conditions. The front wheels provide the drive with traction being transmitted to the rear as needed. The change from two-wheel drive to all-wheel drive is seamless and occurs automatically. |
 |
Braking systemThe braking system of the CX-9 utilises large ventilated disc brakes all round. Combined with ABS, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) sufficient braking effort is applied to each wheel in response to driving conditions and vehicle load, stopping CX-9 safely in its tracks time after time. |
 |
Fuel consumptionRecalibration of the engine's transmission control module has improved the practical fuel economy of CX-9. This, combined with improvements in exterior aerodynamics means CX-9 achieves a fuel economy figure of just 12.2 litres per 100km on the combined cycle, using regular unleaded. |
 |
Handling and dynamicsAs with all Mazda vehicles, excellent handling and dynamics are assured. CX-9 features a MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension setup for a refined ride with superior handling. Superbly weighted hydraulic power assist steering provides plenty of feedback and quick response to turn in when demanded. |
