2016 Mazda CX-9 pricing and specifications

The 2016 Mazda CX-9 has arrived on sale in Australia, with four grades, one engine and transmission, and the choice of front- or all-wheel drive.


The all-new Mazda CX-9 replaces the first-generation model after nine years of service, and the brand-new seven-seater has seen plenty of improvements over its predecessor.

The biggest change is under the bonnet, with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine filling the bay – the previous model had a V6 petrol engine.

The new direct-injection powerplant pumps out 170kW of power and 420Nm of torque, and stop-start is standard, too. Mazda claims fuel figures of 8.4L/100km (FWD) and 8.8L/100km (AWD) for its big new CX-9. Mazda says this is a 25 per-cent improvement over the outgoing model. Standard 91 RON unleaded or E10 fuels can be used.

There is no diesel engine, and nor will one be added, but Mazda says that isn’t likely to deter buyers.

As for the new model, it is shorter than the model that came before it, measuring 5075 millimetres long (was 5106mm) but is also wider at 1969mm (was 1936mm) and taller at 1747mm (was 1728mm). The wheelbase is longer than before, too, measuring 2930mm between the front and rear wheels (was 2875mm).

The boot space of the new model, though, isn’t as good as it was previously. The second-generation version has 230 litres of space with the third row up (previously 267L), while with the third row folded down the space is claimed to be 810L (was 928L).

Mazda has made a lot of equipment standard across the range, including satellite navigation, the requisite Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity, a rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and low speed autonomous emergency braking. Higher spec models get even more safety kit, as you’ll see below.

Mazda expects the Touring specification to be the big seller over the life cycle of the car with 40 per cent of sales, followed by the GT (25 per cent), Azami (20 per cent) and Sport (15 per cent).
