Luxurious yet functional, the 2021.5 CX-9 offers a sophisticated driving experience with its ground-breaking Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine. Enjoy powerful acceleration backed by ample torque for a more responsive drive as you navigate the world in style.

The 2022 Mazda CX-9 GS may represent the least expensive trim available, but it certainly won’t punish you for it and, in fact, will make cars with much higher sticker prices feel barren by comparison. Here’s how:

CX-9 GS

As standard, all CX-9 models are powered by the Skyactiv-G 2.5 Turbo engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual and sport modes. The CX-9 delivers an impressive 250 horsepower and a robust 320 lb-ft of torque with premium 93 octane fuel, and 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque with regular 87 octane fuel.

CX-9 also includes standard i-Activ AWD, which enhances driving dynamics, handling, and vehicle control, allowing the driver to enjoy the experience on most terrains and conditions. Mazda’s predictive i-Activ AWD system continuously monitors an array of sensors in the vehicle and shifts power to the appropriate wheels, providing drivers a near-instant response to inputs. In addition, all CX-9 models are equipped with G-Vectoring Control Plus and Off-Road Traction Assist.

CX-9 GS is well-equipped with an array of standard i-Activsense safety features such as Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Smart City Brake Support Front, Smart Brake Support Front, Pedestrian Detection, Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist.

The CX-9 GS is a seven-passenger crossover SUV with slide and tilt bench style seating for the second row, which includes an armrest with cup holders. Every CX-9 model includes complimentary Mazda Connected Services for two years, providing the ability for the customer to monitor and control the state of the vehicle remotely by logging into the MyMazda app. A focal point of the well-appointed interior is the 10.25″ full-colour center display with the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system that can be controlled with the multi-function commander knob and is integrated with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™.

Other standard features include heated front seats, push button start, remote keyless entry system, leather-wrapped shifter and steering wheel with mounted audio, Bluetooth, and cruise control buttons, dual front USB inputs, six-speaker sound system, three-zone automatic climate control, black cloth seats with eight-way power driver’s seat and lumbar support, four-way manual adjustable passenger seat, electronic parking brake, rearview camera, and rear side and liftgate window privacy glass.

The exterior of the CX-9 GS showcases dark grey metallic 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, bright finish front grille, automatic on/off LED headlights with High Beam Control and auto leveling, heated door mirrors with integrated LED turn signals, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, rear roof spoiler, roof-mounted shark fin antenna, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

CX-9 GS-L

The CX-9 GS-L includes upgrades for all parts of the vehicle and for all occupants to enjoy. The exterior benefits from larger 20-inch silver metallic alloy wheels, LED fog lights, front wiper de-icer, power rear liftgate, and power moonroof. The interior upgrades focus on the seating with black or sand colour leather first and second-row seats and much more.

CAPTAIN’S CHAIRS PACKAGE

The optional Captain’s Chairs Package can be equipped on CX-9 GS-L models to create a more luxurious two-passenger layout with a centre pass-through.
