Mazda has taken the CX-9 into the 2017MY, which
carries MSRP of US$ 31,520. The
entry-level Sport continues to be offered with the same amenities, such as the
18-inch wheels, LED lighting units, fabric seating surfaces, electronic parking
brake, Mazda Connect infotainment with Commander control and a 7-inch color
display, reversing camera and trailer assist.
The mid-range CX-9 Touring now benefits
from standard Smart City Brake Support, a feature that was previously available
as an option on this grade, and at no extra cost on the Grand Touring and
Signature models. Prices for this trim level start from US$ 35,970, and it also
comes with leather seating surfaces, 8-inch touchscreen, auto-dimming rearview
mirror, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, keyless entry,
power front seats, power liftgate, and others.
Priced from US$ 40,470, the CX-9 Grand Touring builds
upon the Sport and Touring, adding 20-inch wheels, roof rails, radar-guided
cruise control with smart brake support, lane keep assist, lane departure
warning, high-beam control, adaptive front lighting, head-up display, and
memory settings on the driver's seat.
For the 2017 Mazda CX-9 Signature, the automaker is
asking at least US$ 44,315. This is the only model offered with all-wheel drive as
standard, a system that uses 27 sensors and measures the conditions more than
200 times per second to determine how much power is allocated to each wheel.
Additionally, the range-topping SUV also comes with LED signature grille
lighting, Auburn-colored Nappa leather, LED accent lighting around the gear
shifter, and rosewood supplied by Japanese guitar-maker Fujigen.
Power to the entire range comes from the 2.5-liter
turbo'd petrol engine that produces 250 HP and 420 Nm of torque on
93-octane gasoline, and or 227 HP and 310 lb-ft on 87-octane.
