Cx 9 specifications. Content and quality of interior decoration

After a 2-year absence, the large crossover Mazda CX-9 returned to the Russian car market - already in the 2nd generation. Not just returned: during the modernization, he acquired a new "trolley", a new engine and three rows of seats, and also lost a whole centner. And if the current owners of Mazda CX-5 were worried that they would not have anything to change seats, then they have no more of this problem: the five-meter CX-9 next generation (2017 onwards) is the best fit for replacing an old car with a new one. There is no doubt that this model will gain some popularity among Russians: the demand for large crossovers in the Russian Federation is growing. Read all the details about it and its differences from its predecessor in our review!

Design

The appearance of the updated CX-9 is Mazda-style modern - catchy and at the same time surprisingly laconic. It is simply impossible not to notice such a car in the turbulent city traffic. The powerful grille of the novelty is framed by elegant LED optics with tiny LED DRL beads. The front part of the body also pleases the eye with its daring outlines and edges, and the "stern" stands out due to the slanting lights, which look quite harmonious. The profile of the model turned out to be predatory and dynamic - quite in the spirit of Mazda. Nothing to say, the Japanese tried their best this time too.

In the exterior, chrome is used in absolutely appropriate quantities (it is also present in the interior) - with the help of it, the brand's designers managed to beautifully emphasize the door sills and the contours of the glass. For finishing the wheel arches, the appropriate matte plastic is again used - this solution is usually typical for inexpensive utilitarian SUVs, but in this case it can be called 100% successful, and many will like it due to its practicality. All lighting technology of the second CX-9 is based on LED technology. In urban environments, it is ideal - at mid-range, dense white light is in no way inferior to the illumination provided by xenon optics.

Design

The revamped Mazda Nine is designed around the same platform that powers the latest CX-5 - almost the best crossover cart on the market today. The scheme of its suspensions is as follows: an independent suspension is installed on the McPherson struts in front, and a multi-link at the rear. The drive is full by default, with a multi-disc clutch in the rear wheel drive (like the CX-5), and the brakes are disc (front - ventilated). The wheelbase, unlike the CX-5, is increased by 23 cm, and the overall length by as much as 525 mm. For the sake of "nines", the settings of the springs and shock absorbers have been changed (in the rear, the upper attachment points have also changed - due to the introduction of a 7-seat body), as well as the characteristics of the silent blocks. From the "five" inherited pleasant little things - for example, there are additional dampers in the front suspension and a lightweight front stabilizer.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

All-wheel drive, excellent crossover suspension, 220mm ground clearance, trunk volume from 230 to 1,641 liters. (depending on folded seats) and a seven-seater saloon - what else do you need to drive on the tired Russian roads? In addition, the novelty provides all the necessary heating, namely, heated seats of the 1st and 2nd rows, steering wheel and wiper rest zone. And in addition, there is a separate climate control for the driver / front passenger and a separate "climate" for the rear riders. Sound insulation, compared to its predecessor, is better - due to acoustic glass in the doors, additional seals for doorways, noise-insulating materials on the floor, reduced engine noise and minimal gaps between body parts. The noise level is close to 67 decibels: close, but in this regard, the "Japanese" lags behind its popular premium rival BMW X3.

Comfort

Metallized plastic is widely used to decorate the interior of the new CX-9. The metal looks nice and neat, without kitsch. The transition from the inner door lining to the complex profile of the ventilation deflector frame in the corner of the front panel is stylishly made. The dashboard is a classic switch. On the right side of the "tidy" there is a miniature LCD screen for various associated indications. The climate control control unit is rather narrow and small, "prescribed" behind the gearshift knob in the recess. With the hint that the best solution is automatic mode ... There are not so many storage compartments in the cabin. Door pockets, a modest glove compartment, a pair of cup holders, a spectacle case and a two-piece armrest box - that's it. Skoda is far from practicality, but overall it's not bad.

The seats of the second CX-9 are designed for people of any size. The profile of the seats is well chosen, and the wide range of adjustments makes it easy to adjust the seat “for yourself”. There is ample head and legroom in the 1st row, but the most spacious on the back sofa. Passengers of medium size will be able to sit in the back even if the seats of the 1st row are fully extended back. And if they are not fully extended, then riders of any height will be at ease behind. For the convenience of rear passengers, there are 2 USB ports, separate climate control, armrest and cup holders, compartment for a smartphone and 3-stage heating. It is quite possible to get to the 3rd row without difficulty. The chairs there are decent - in terms of comfort, they are almost as good as the one in front of the sofa. Of the amenities here, we can only note the armrests with stamping for glasses or bottles and a pair of speakers of the audio system. The trunk of the crossover is equipped with an electric opening mechanism. In the underground compartment lives a dock, inside which there is a subwoofer. The luggage compartment with a 7-seater cabin configuration is 230 liters, and the maximum volume is 1641 liters.

The list of "safe" equipment CX-9 2017, depending on the configuration, includes front and side "airbags", curtains, panic button "Era-Glonass", parking sensors (front and rear), light and rain sensors, cruise control, rear view camera and various electronic assistants. Electronic assistants include G-Vectoring Control, Safe City Braking (SCBS), Side Vehicle Approach Warning (RCTA), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR, works with navigation), etc. ...

In the upper part of the center console CX-9 flaunts the proprietary multimedia complex MZD Connect. The complex is a tablet-like eight-inch color screen with optional navigation and sound control buttons on the steering wheel. AUX / USB inputs and Bluetooth are responsible for connecting gadgets to the system, and a slot for SD cards is responsible for loading navigation maps. Music is played through a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system. There are no complaints about the sound quality, the graphics and performance of the "multimedia" do not raise any questions.

Mazda CX-9 Specifications

In place of the 3.7-liter 6-cylinder "aspirated" engine with excessive fuel consumption, there is now a new 2.5-liter SkyActive Dynamic Pressure Turbo petrol turbo engine. The engine has an "atmospheric" compression ratio of 10.5: 1, develops a tax-friendly 231 hp. and 420 Nm (versus 277 hp and 367 Nm in the previous CX-9), consumes an average of 9.2 liters. fuel per 100 km (the consumption declared by the manufacturer practically does not differ from the real one) and accelerates the crossover to 100 km / h in just 8.6 seconds. Paired with the new turbocharged unit is a 6-speed SkyActive automatic transmission. The preferred gasoline is 95th.

The Mazda CX-9 is a front- or all-wheel-drive five-door SUV of the full-size category, occupying the flagship position in the model range of the Japanese automaker, which combines expressive design, modern and functional interior, productive technical component and a rich set of options ... The main target audience of the car is family men middle-aged and older with a good level of annual income (usually having several children) who need a “multi-purpose vehicle” ...

One of the central premieres of the international motor show in Los Angeles, which opened its doors to the general public in November 2015, was the full-size crossover Mazda CX-9 of the new, second in order, generation
Compared to the previous model, this giant has improved on all fronts - it tried on the corporate design style of "KODO", got a more noble interior and a wide range of modern equipment, and under its hood "registered" a productive turbo engine.

In February 2018, the Mazda CX-9 was registered at the facilities of the Vladivostok Sollers plant, and in March 2019 it underwent a light update. As a result of the modernization, the SUV has not changed in appearance, but at the same time it received minor improvements in the interior (new "tools" and an improved media center), acquired several new options and tried on a radically reconfigured suspension (springs and shock absorbers with different characteristics, as well as new steering knuckles and tougher silent blocks).

The appearance of the second generation Mazda CX-9 is subordinated to the current design of the Japanese brand - the crossover looks bold, beautiful and graceful, no matter which side you look at. The deliberately aggressive front end demonstrates the "evil look" of the front lighting technology and a large radiator grill, and the lean rear displays narrow LED lights and a powerful bumper, into which two exhaust pipes are integrated.

The “long-nosed” predatory silhouette with the A-pillars shifted backward and the large strokes of the wheel arches give the spectacular proportions of the full-size SUV.

The total length of the "second" Mazda CX-9 is 5065 mm, of which the wheelbase fits in 2930 mm, and the width and height of its body reach 1961 mm and 1717 mm, respectively. Under the "belly" of the crossover there is a 224 mm ground clearance, and its "travel" weight ranges from 1841 to 1953 kg (depending on the modification).

The interior of the Mazda CX-9 is designed in a rich and “thoroughbred” style, but at the same time it is not devoid of sporting aesthetics. A beautiful and laconic front panel, divided by an aluminum "blade", is crowned with a color screen of the multimedia center with a diagonal of 8 inches and a stylish unit of the zone climate system. Behind the three-spoke multifunction steering wheel is a stylish and informative toolkit, optionally complemented by a 7-inch "scoreboard".

The interior of the second-generation Japanese crossover is dominated by high-quality finishing materials - soft and pliable plastics, genuine leather, as well as inserts made of "winged metal" and rosewood.

The CX-9 salon is divided into seven seats, but if comfortable seating is promised on the first and middle rows of seats, the "gallery" is more focused on children.

Even with a seven-seater layout, the trunk of the SUV does not become conventional and holds 408 liters of luggage. The “gallery” is folded in two symmetrical parts, bringing the cargo space up to 1082 liters, and the second row of seats, divided in a 60/40 ratio, brings the “hold” capacity to 2016 liters (in both cases, a completely flat floor is obtained).

The second "release" of the Mazda CX-9 is powered by a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G direct injection petrol engine, a turbocharger with a working pressure of 1.2 bar, a Dynamic Pressure system that simulates the operation of a variable geometry turbine, and EGR technology. Ultimately, the turbo engine produces 231 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 420 Nm of torque, which is reached from 2000 rpm.

By default, it is aggregated with a 6-speed "automatic" and an intelligent all-wheel drive system i-ACTIV AWD with a multi-plate clutch, which is electronically controlled.

The "maximum speed" of the car rests at 208 km / h, and the acceleration from zero to the first "hundred" fits into 8.6 seconds.

In the combined driving mode, the five-door "digests" from 9.6 to 10 liters of gasoline for every 100 kilometers.

It is worth noting that in other countries, the five-door is also offered in front-wheel drive, and the power of its 2.5-liter engine reaches 254 hp.

The SUV is based on an extended version of the Mazda 6 platform with extensive use of high-strength steels in the body structure and independent suspension on both axles - MacPherson struts at the front and multi-link architecture at the rear.

The Mazda CX-9 of the second generation has a rack and pinion steering mechanism with an electric power steering, and all its wheels are equipped with disc brakes (the diameter of the front devices is 320 mm, the rear ones are 325 mm) with ABS, EBD, BAS and others.

On the Russian market, the 2020 Mazda CX-9 is offered in four equipment options - "Active", "Supreme", "Exclusive" and "Executive".

A car in the basic configuration costs a minimum of 2 795 000 rubles, and the list of its equipment includes: six airbags, front and rear parking sensors, three-zone climate control, power windows for all doors, light and rain sensors, electric drive and heated outside mirrors, cruise control , a media center with an 8-inch screen, a rear-view camera, ABS, EBD, ESP, TCS, ERA-GLONASS system, all-LED optics, 18-inch alloy wheels, a six-speaker audio system and a number of other options.

For a crossover performed by "Supreme" will have to pay from 3,091,000 rubles, the modification "Exclusive" costs at least 3,257,000 rubles, and the "top" version "Executive" will cost from 3,357,000 rubles.

The most "sophisticated" five-door boasts: Nappa leather interior trim, keyless entry and engine start, electric drive, heated and ventilated front seats, a luggage door servo, a head-up display, heated rear sofa and steering wheel, all-round cameras, blind spot monitoring, recognition system road signs, 20-inch wheels and a Bose premium sound system with twelve speakers.

Mazda CX9 is the most bulky car of the Mazda company. For the first time, the model was presented in 2006 and from the first moment the car made an indelible impression on car owners. A unique blend of sportiness and functionality has earned this crossover SUV of the Year title in North America. The description of the technical characteristics requires a detailed study, but let's focus on the main thing.

General concepts

The Mazda CX 9 received a platform from the Mazda 6 and the styling of the Mazda CX7. However, the technical characteristics of the Mazda CX 9 differ significantly from the characteristics of the above models. In addition, the renewal of the exterior, combined with maximum comfort and presentability, deserves special attention.

The acoustic effect deserves special attention - a sound-absorbing foam compound is applied to 22 body sections, which isolates the interior from unnecessary noise. The CX 9 2017 car can be safely attributed to a family car, since it is designed for seven-seater seating in three rows, and passengers will be as comfortable as possible on each row. This became possible thanks to the increased wheelbase - 287.5 cm. It should be said separately that the Mazda CX's ground clearance is 20.4 cm, but even such an impressive increase in ground clearance does not guarantee cross-country ability on difficult tracks.

Careful attention was paid to the driver's seat, which has the following features - it is adjustable both horizontally and in height. The seat is equipped with an electropolished lumbar cushion with memory function. The gearbox has six positions and is positioned high enough for ease of operation.

The steering wheel houses the audio and cruise control systems, and the dashboard of the 2017 CX 9 is austere. Separately, it is worth noting the LED backlighting, which at first glance raises doubts due to some luridness, but after a couple of minutes it becomes clear that the readings of the devices are as readable as possible. And it is worth noting that due to such a backlight, the engineers managed to avoid glare.

Mazda CX 9 Specifications

Mazda CX 9 2017 is equipped with a turbocharged engine with a volume of 3.7 liters and a capacity of 277 hp. In addition, the engineers installed an automatic six-speed ActiveMatic transmission using the Active Torque Split AWD power management system, which favorably distinguishes the technical characteristics of the Mazda CX 9.

Average fuel consumption according to the manufacturers' statement is 13.5 liters. The 2017 CX 9 accelerates to 100 km / h in 10.1 seconds. The maximum possible speed is 181 km / h.

The new CX 9, unlike the 2008 CX 9, is equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension fixed to a subframe, which is mounted in the body in six places by means of rubber mounts. This setting allows you to provide high damping parameters to sum up, as well as a quick response of the car to the movement of the steering wheel. The car is also equipped with a power steering rack and pinion. A multi-link suspension is installed at the rear. All this ensures that driving the Mazda CX 9 is a real pleasure.

Complete set

The basic equipment includes a stabilization system Stability Control, which prevents the wheels from locking and slipping on snow or icy surfaces, prevents the development of skidding and maintains course stability with the prevention of rollover of the Mazda CX 9, the characteristics are simply ideal.

In the event that an accident does occur, the protection of passengers and the driver is carried out by the installed frontal airbags, curtains with an inflatable function and active head restraints installed on the front seats. In addition, the basic equipment includes the following functions:

• climate control
• power windows
• contactless door opening
• Cruise control
• rims 18 inches

The car interior and appearance deserve the attention of even the most demanding buyer. Technical characteristics allow to guarantee high performance parameters, which provides the safest driving experience with smooth shifting and economical fuel consumption. A real family car for a large family.

The first generation of the full-size crossover Mazda CX-9, created specifically for the North American market, celebrated its world premiere in April 2006 at the New York Auto Show, and in early 2007 it officially went on sale. Already in 2008, the "Japanese" went through a small upgrade, having received a new 3.7-liter "six" instead of the "Ford" Duratec V6 3.5.

A more significant restyling overtook the car in 2010 - then its appearance was refreshed, improved interior materials were added and the list of starting equipment was expanded without affecting the technical part.

In 2012, the Mazda CX-9 was refreshed once again, and again did not receive any technical changes. The crossover tried on a proprietary "mask" corresponding to the ideology of KODO, got a slightly redrawn, better quality interior and received options that were previously unavailable. In this form, the car was available on the Russian market, but left it in December 2015 due to low demand.

The appearance of the first generation Mazda CX-9 is fully consistent with its flagship status - a beautiful, solid and moderately aggressive look, devoid of any pretentiousness. The squat and athletic body of the crossover is decorated with stylish lighting technology with LED elements, a branded "pentagon" of the radiator grille and embossed bumpers, and the huge radii of the wheel arches, accommodating 20-inch "rollers" and two exhaust pipes make the final contribution to building a powerful and confident image.

In terms of overall dimensions, the "first" CX-9 is a real giant: 5096 mm in length, of which 2875 mm is reserved for the distance between the axles, 1936 mm in width and 1728 mm in height. The minimum clearance of the off-road vehicle in running order is 204 mm, and its "traveling" weight exceeds 2110 kg.

In the interior of the 1st generation Mazda CX-9, exemplary order reigns - angular edges, straight lines, an impressive "lump" of the central tunnel. Behind the "dense" multifunctional steering wheel with a three-spoke design, there are exemplary informative instruments, placed in symmetrical "wells". The massive "wardrobe" of the center console is crowned with a modest-sized multimedia screen and three "round" air conditioners.

The decoration of the crossover is finished with good-quality materials: expensive-looking, but tough to the touch plastics, genuine leather and decorative inserts for "metal" and "wood".

For the front riders in the SUV there are wide seats with pronounced support on the sides and a wide range of electrical adjustments, capable of accommodating people of any size with a high level of comfort.

The middle row of seats is no less hospitable, which can not only be moved longitudinally, but also the backrest tilt can be adjusted. "Gallery" is more suitable for children, while adults will feel uncomfortable and cramped on it.

The luggage compartment of the Mazda CX-9 in a seven-seater configuration holds no more than 267 liters of luggage, but with the third row of seats folded into the floor, this figure rises to 928 liters. The maximum capacity of the "hold" of the crossover is 1911 liters, while a completely flat area for cargo is formed. A niche under the raised floor is reserved for tools and small items, and a full-size spare wheel hangs under the "belly".

Specifications. The Mazda CX-9 is equipped with an exclusively atmospheric 3.7-liter MZI gasoline unit with six V-shaped "pots", an aluminum cylinder block, sequential valve timing technology and multi-point fuel injection.
"Six" generates 277 horsepower at 6250 rpm and 367 Nm of torque, realized at 4250 rpm.

Its potential is digested by a 6-band automatic transmission and all-wheel drive technology with dynamic thrust distribution. The multi-plate clutch is capable of varying torque in ratios from 100: 0 to 50:50. There are no off-road "gadgets" on the car.

In dynamic terms, the full-size SUV does not shine - the starting spurt from standstill to the first 100 km / h takes 10.1 seconds. The top speed of the car is limited at around 192 km / h, and the average fuel consumption in mixed driving mode does not exceed 11.3 liters for every “hundred” (15.4 liters in the city, 9 liters on the highway).

At the heart of the first generation Mazda CX-9 is the Ford CD3 platform with a supporting body structure and a transversely located power plant. "In a circle" on the crossover mounted independent suspension - McPherson struts in front and multi-link architecture in the rear.
The rack and pinion steering gear includes a hydraulic power steering, and each of the four wheels accommodates ventilated brake discs. As standard, the car is equipped with ABS, ESP, DSC and other modern "assistants".

Complete set and price. In the Russian market, the sales of the first generation Mazda CX-9 were discontinued in December 2015 due to extremely low demand (in Russia, the minimum asking for a five-door was 1,919,000 rubles).
The basic equipment of the off-road vehicle combines six airbags, a three-zone climate control system, leather trim, bi-xenon head optics, 20-inch wheel disks, a keyless entry and engine start system, a multimedia complex, full power accessories, ABS, ESP, and other equipment.

Large crossover Mazda CX 9 2017 we decided to bring it to the Russian market, which demonstrates positive dynamics. The second generation Mazda CX-9 went on sale back in 2016, and showed the new product in November 2015 in Los Angeles. Up to 80 percent of all cars produced are sent to the USA and Canada. A 7-seater full-size crossover is being assembled at the Japanese Mazda plant in Hiroshima. That is, Japanese cars will be delivered to our customers.

Externally, the CX-9 has similarities with the Mazda CX-5 2017, a radiator grille of a general shape, narrow headlights, a hood pushed forward. However, the filling of the exterior of the CX9 is at a much higher level. For example, the same grille has a more solid appearance due to the abundance of chrome. The front bumper underneath has a chrome strip and LED fog lights that emphasize the gloss of the vehicle. All these details tell us about the premium crossover. The machine is not made for everyone. The huge body, more than 5 meters long, has not lost its speed and sportiness. We can say a huge thank you to the creators of the car for the design, because they once again raised their brainchild to an unattainable height. Photos of the new CX 9 2017 model year, see below.

The interior of the flagship crossover from Japan is even cooler than the exterior. Everything in this car is made for the driver. A small convenient multifunctional steering wheel, bright wells of the dashboard, all the transmission controls, additional buttons and washers for switching the transmission modes are right at hand. The multimedia system monitor hangs over the center console. The front seats have a huge number of settings for a person of any size. Heated front and rear seats are already in the base. In the back seat, USB sockets are hidden in the center armrest for recharging your gadgets. The rear sofa can be moved back and forth, tilt the back, in general, adjust the interior space for yourself. A pair of third-row seats are most suitable for children, teenagers or not large passengers, since it is naturally cramped there. Photos of the CX-9 cabin are attached.

The trunk has not only a large volume, but also excellent functionality. For example, the seats of the third row of seats fold in such a way that they form a completely flat area. In the 5-seater version, the luggage compartment volume is 547 liters (up to the tailgate cover). If you load it to the ceiling, then the volume will almost double. There is no full-fledged spare wheel, there is a narrow stowaway under the boot floor.

Specifications Mazda CX-9

In technical terms, the crossover is as successful as in terms of design. Powerful turbo, four-wheel drive, automatic transmission and no compromises. But first things first.

The 2.5-liter petrol engine has direct injection and turbocharging. The 4-cylinder 16-valve engine with a timing chain drive develops 231 hp. at 420 Nm of torque. One can ask a reasonable question why the same Skyactiv-G 2.5T produces 250 horses in the USA. Actually, for our market, the engine was derated taking into account the characteristics of the fuel quality. The manufacturer officially allows the use of AI-92 gasoline. But even this is enough to accelerate a two-ton colossus to a hundred in 8.6 seconds, and the maximum speed is 210 km / h.

As a transmission, a non-alternative hydromechanical 6-band gearbox is installed. The automatic transmission allows you to switch modes of operation providing either a comfortable and unhurried movement, or hurricane dynamics in Sport mode. All-wheel drive is provided by the i-Activ AWD system with a multi-plate clutch in the rear wheel drive. That is, the basic drive is front, and the rear wheels are connected if necessary.

The suspension is completely independent. Front "McPherson", rear multi-link. Disc brakes on all 4 wheels. The electric power assisted rack and pinion steering is linked to the G-Vectoring Control system, which provides the desired engine thrust based on steering angle and current speed.

The mass-dimensional characteristics of the model are further.

Prices and configurations Mazda CX 9 2017

A large Japanese crossover is not cheap on its own, plus the ruble exchange rate leaves much to be desired. But this did not frighten the manufacturer. Mazda marketers are confident in the success of the return of CX 9 to the Russian market. Buyers have only two Supreme trim levels available for 2 890 000 rubles and the more expensive Exclusive version for 3,010,000 rubles...
