2017 Mazda CX-9

Searching for that mid-size SUV that doesn't just blend in with the others?  Look no further as Mazda has designed for 2017 a trailblazing alternative to the status quo with the handsome CX 9.  You will quickly understand after a visit with the friendly folks at Hixson Mazda of Alexandria.  One is waiting for your due diligence in your favorite color and style. 

The Mazda CX9 still resembles a Mazda, but it really stands out with a larger front grille and squinty eyes for headlamps in its wide and assertive stance.  This redesigned CX 9 also sports an entirely different looking bumper with its wide center intake and vertical blade-like chrome inserts gives this new Mazda a sporty appearance.  This sporty theme continues around back where a pair of slender cat eyes mold its taillights.  You will get the feeling that this SUV is a very well-proportioned athletic family hauler.  The CX 9's long hood, stylish curves, large wheels and short overhangs shout out that this vehicle is going to be a lot of fun to drive and to be seen in. 

This theme continues when you slide into those wide and comfy seats for that enjoyable test drive.  You may also nod in agreement why Car & Driver gave the 2017 Mazda CX 9 the top award for the best midsize SUV recently.  They said: “Yea, fathers and mothers, there is one among the throng that can save us from the drudgery of suburban life. And we shall know it by the name Mazda CX 9.”  Yes indeed, this SUV excels as a fun vehicle to drive to work or play.  Another reason besides its bold and attractive styling on the outside, the CX 9's cabin is just bursting with an upscale interior loaded with premium features you would see on those pricey cars.  It is equipped with high quality and tech superior systems that relate to your entertainment and communications needs. 

Lot of stuff to brag about that include a seven or eight-inch touch screen for the Mazda's Connect infotainment system.  It uses both Bluetooth and cable based connections for Pandora or Aha.  Passengers will love the availability of two 2.1-amp USB ports for charging smartphones or tablets.  You can also get a “rocking” Bose audio with 12 speakers.  On that enjoyable test drive you'll appreciate how quiet and stable the ride is over all kinds of road imperfections.  That is thanks to Mazda's SkyActiv platform, MacPherson struts up front, Multi-link rear suspension along with a whole lot of insulation. 

What will be powering you down the road is the aggressive 2.3-liter Turbo kicking out 250 horses with a pavement gripping 310 lb ft of torque.  The torque peeking out at a low and efficient 2000 rpm, which means this CX 9 is one quick vehicle.  This lively engine is mated to a smooth six-speed automatic with two wheel or AWD drives.  Now since this 3 seater loves families, it is good to know the CX 9 is the safest yet from how it was constructed to a slew of safety systems.  Do check out the i-Active Sense system from Mazda as it is well worth the investment as you always have precious cargo on board and the payback could be huge. 


It all comes together with the redesigned and award winning Mazda CX 9.  Isn't it about time you put that “fun factor” back into your drive times?  You can by visiting http://www.hixsonmazda.com today!
