The eponymous sport utility received an 8.3 rating from vehicle research and valuation gurus Kelley Blue Book for its "svelte new form with premium appeal," with the expert reviewer assigning a high 9.2 in its Driving Dynamics category for CX-9 showing itself "the most fun-to-drive SUV in its class." And this praise surely dovetails with that of Car and Driver, who awarded CX-9 with a 2017 10Best moniker for its "well-tuned suspension" and "great handling" as well as "light, precise steering."
Motor Trend similarly saw CX-9 a finalist for its 2017 SUV of the Year Award, showcasing the SUV's "sporty steering, rev-blipping shifts, meaty torque, and neutral chassis." And when it comes to global authorities, one can't do much better than U.S. News & World Report, who gave 2017 Mazda CX-9 an overall 8.3 with callouts for "lithe handling," a "luxurious interior," and "above-average fuel economy." Put on the comfort-evincing finishing touch of Mazda CX-9's WardsAuto 10 Best Interiors award, and the result is quite the model to appeal to a gamut of drive preferences and trip types.
And we at North Shore Mazda can plainly see why with the feature-packed 2017 Mazda CX-9 build. A 250-horsepower, SKYACTIV®-G 2.5T Dynamic Pressure Turbo DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine with VVT shows off the raw energy to take you places. 310 pound-feet of torque offers plenty of appeal to the get-up-and-go crowd, and CX-9's low 2,000 rpm means you can be assured of a stable trip through myriad driving conditions.
It's the Mazda SUV's SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY that makes it all possible, uniting body construction, engine technology, chassis, and transmission. This creates the kind of road feel enthusiasts dream about while maintaining a respectable EPA-estimated highway fuel economy of up to 28 mpg, or 26 mpg in the SUV's line-topping Signature trim. A range of infotainment and mobile connectivity options about, along with those of advanced safety and driver-assist tech, so it's a snap to remain amused on the trip with peace of mind.
