The model year updates continue at Mazda as the company has announced a handful of changes for the 2022 CX-9. The biggest news is a newly standard all-wheel drive system, which explains why the base price has climbed from US$ 34,160 to US$ 35,280. However, this is actually a savings of US$ 780 when compared to last year’s all-wheel drive variant.
The updates don’t stop there as the 2022
CX-9 now offers a Touring Plus trim for US$ 41,660. It builds on the CX-9 Touring
with the Premium package and features a slightly revised exterior with a gloss
black grille, aluminum roof rails, and 20-inch alloy wheels with a black
metallic finish. Buyers will also find an upgraded interior with heated /
ventilated front seats, a frameless rearview mirror, and a power driver’s seat
with a memory function.
The model also comes equipped with leather
upholstery, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a wireless smartphone charger, and
a moonroof. Other highlights include a power liftgate, a keyless entry system,
an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, and a 10.25-inch infotainment
system.
The 2022 Mazda CX-9 will arrive at U.S.
dealerships this winter and all models are equipped with a turbocharged
2.5-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder engine that is paired to a six-speed
automatic transmission. The engine develops 227 hp and 420 Nm of torque on regular 87 octane gasoline, but that climbs to 250
hp and 433 Nm of torque on premium.
