2007 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring 4dr All-Wheel Drive

Overview

The Mazda CX-9 is the largest Mazda ever, aimed at people who don't need a rugged, truck-based sport-utility vehicle but stylistically can't bring themselves to drive a minivan. The CX-9 is available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It comes with standard three rows of seats and can carry seven adults. Power comes from a refined, new 263-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 with an impressive six-speed automatic transmission that has a manual gear selection option. It comes in three models: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. The suspension is tuned the same for each model with a small ride and handling change coming in the Grand Touring, which gets 20-inch wheels instead of the standard 18-inch wheels. The Mazda CX-9 is a brand new model for 2007.
