What You Should Know About the 2023 Mazda CX-9

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 is a great buy if you are looking for a fun-to-drive practical three-row SUV for your family due to its numerous qualities that have been refined every year.

The practical side

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 is a very practical large SUV due to its three rows of seats and its generous cargo space that can be easily expanded by folding down the third or second rows of seats. This means that the CX-9 is the only Mazda vehicle able to seat up to seven people with the standard middle row bench seat or six people with the available captain’s chairs. Even without folding any seat, the CX-9 can carry up to 408 litres of cargo and by folding the third row only, 1,082 litres become available. If very large items need to be transported, the CX-9 can accommodate them with its 2,016 litres of maximum cargo capacity.

The fun side

Since the 2023 CX-9 is a Mazda product, it is one of the most engaging and fun to drive options in its category. This is due to its refined suspension and steering systems as well as its standard turbocharged engine and its slightly smaller exterior dimensions when compared to its rivals. Indeed, the CX-9 benefits from the most powerful engine Mazda offers in Canada for 2023. With up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque when using 93-grade fuel, this engine can give an unexpected level of performance to the CX-9.

The luxurious side

The 2023 Mazda CX-9 is not only the largest Mazda vehicle, but it is also the most luxurious. This is evident in the Signature model which sits atop the CX-9 range. This version features such characteristics as Nappa leather upholstery and genuine Rosewood accents on the inside as well as unique chrome trim on the outside. Some of the most impressive features made available by this model include the frameless rear-view mirror, the illuminated front grille and the second-row center console, among others.
