Although No Bigger, The New Mazda CX-9 is Better Than Ever

They say that bigger is always better. Compared to its direct rivals the Mazda CX-9 continues to be the longest in its class, however, although the new Mazda CX-9 is taller and wider than the previous model, it is actually shorter than the model it replaces. By defying this trend the Mazda CX-9 has let its intended function define its size rather than be bigger purely for the sake of it. With ample room to seat five adults or teenagers, and two children, comfortably, this large SUV provides so much more than just additional space.

With a carefully considered design, the Mazda CX-9 scores very well in terms of practicality. Designed with everyone in mind, all adjustment controls for seats, mirrors, climate and multimedia systems are intended to suit anyone of any size. Creating a longer rear door means climbing aboard the Mazda CX-9 is now much easier, meaning that passengers no longer need to scramble and climb over each other. In particular, those seated in the third row (suitable only for children) now have additional grab holes in the side trims to enable easier access to the back.

Carefully designed around everyday use, the Mazda CX-9 excels at meeting the needs of large families with young children, being able to legally carry four child seats at a time. As well as including three top-tether mounts across the second row (or two ISOFIX mounts), the Mazda CX-9 is also the first of its kind to provide a child seat anchorage point in the third row. There’s also plenty of room for the children to store their drinks (or the adults to keep their coffee), with two cup holders per row and two bottle holders in each door. If your family is made up of older children who spend their time glued to their phone screens, there’s multiple USB ports accessible throughout the vehicle perfect for charging electronics on long road trips.

A reasonable boot space is retained when all seats are in use, whereas by using the simple mechanisms to fold the second and third row seats down flat you create a cavernous space suitable for all your storage needs. Shopping bag hooks are also available in the cargo area, making everyday life just that little easier.

With the maximum five star ANCAP rating, you will feel at ease knowing that your family are protected with front and rear autonomous emergency braking (AEB) as standard, blind-spot monitoring and airbags that include the third row of seats. A dream to drive, the Mazda CX-9 delivers excellent fuel efficiency, whilst maintaining the power for overtaking, even in sixth gear. Additional stop/start technology and i-ELOOP energy recovery is also fitted into all Australian models.

An extremely well-rounded family car, the Mazda CX-9 offers comfort, practicality and safety all in an SUV package. It may not be bigger, but it is certainly better.
