2016 Mazda CX-9

We do all things bigger and better in Texas.  So when the 2016 Mazda CX-9 was named the full-size CUV of Texas, people better take notice.

Excitement beamed from Gulf Region Mazda PR Manager Jamie Tinsley’s face when TAWA announced the 2016 Mazda CX-9 won the Crossover Utility Vehicle of Texas at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo awards dinner.  The off-road portion of the rodeo involved drivers selecting from three courses scattered around 1,650 acres of steep hills, ravines, streams and other obstacles – not to mention a wide array of exotic animals as they grazed throughout the property.

“Mazda’s all-new CX-9 earned class-leading marks from our judges particularly in exterior styling, premium interior finishes, the performance of the new SKYACTIV-G 2.5T powertrain and overall personal appeal in the highly competitive full-size CUV category,” said Nic Phillips, Texas Auto Writers Association President. “Mazda’s CX-9 is a combination of sleek style with exciting, driver rewarding dynamics and family efficiency which makes for an award winning package, one that carried the CX-9 to be our runner-up for the overall CUV of Texas award.” In the decade since the first Mazda CX-9 made its world debut, it has transformed the full-size CUV segment and is the brand’s grandest expression of KODO – Soul of Motion design. The 2016 model year offers innovative technologies, premium and authentic materials and is simply fun to drive with a focus on overall driver experience.

2016 Mazda CX-9

Here is one new family mover you need to check out.  What people are talking about is the totally redesigned Mazda CX-9.  Automotive car critics and writers say it has been a significant improvement in most all areas.  This stylish rich CX9 carries seven people, has excellent fuel economy and is available in all-wheel drive. 

You can see it up close and personal at Hixson Mazda of Alexandria or online at www.hixsonmazda.com today!  Owners say it is just a fun SUV to drive and to be seen in.  After all, it is a Mazda!

The top of the line Signature comes with smooth Nappa leather with its luxurious interior and a long list of standard equipment. Some say the Signature trim feels and looks more like a luxury vehicle without the sticker price.  This new CX-9 is so much quieter, thanks to increased sound proofing and a thicker floor.  On your test drive you will find that this Mazda is so quiet, that the road sometimes fades away as an afterthought.  What a great way to enjoy your long trips to grandmas or that needed vacation trip to Mickey's place. 

There are three rows of comfortable seats in the CX-9.  The front seats have wide and very sturdy captain chairs that seem to mold to your body; really useful when this SUV takes on those country curves with its new suspension system.  The second row splits 60/40 and slides and reclines.  Owners with little children love the convenience and how easy a child seat is secured.  The second and third row seats can fold flat for your trips to the big box stores.  There are over 14 cubic feet behind the third seat and 38 behind the second, definitely enough space for your foursome's golf equipment.  Then if that seat is folded you will receive over 71 cubic feet behind the cabin's chairs.  

To enhance your driving experience in a fun way, the CX-9 has a new available “rocking” 12 speaker Bose system.  This Mazda like all of their models are equipped with high quality and tech superior features that relate to first class entertainment and communication; modern and necessary accessories for your enjoyment.  All of the infotainment controls are smartly arranged and very easy to reach and learn. 

Under the hood of this Mazda produces a new engine with an aggressive 2.5-liter turbocharged four banger that delivers up to 250 lively horses and an awesome level of torque.  Another great new improvement is the suspension that keeps the CX-9's feet planted in turns and curves.  It gets even better as it has a towing capacity of 3500 lbs which is enough for that pair of Ski Do's to take to your lake. 


The CX-9 like all Mazda's offer a slew of safety systems which is so very important as you always have previous cargo on board.  It comes in four trims to fit anyone's budget and style.  So just check the Mazda CX-9 at Hixson Mazda and the bet is on that you will leave with a smile on your face, not only because you brought back the “fun factor” in your drive time, but for the great deal you received.  Driving excitement is alive and well.
