Once you feel like you’ve gotten to know the Mazda CX-9 from this overview and our other resources, we’d be happy to arrange your test drive near Denton, Flower Mound, or Carrollton, Texas.

The Mazda CX-9 thrives as a family SUV, as it does a great job of balancing interior passenger and cargo room. Depending on what you need at any given time, you can accommodate your passengers by keeping the seats upright or folding them down to store more supplies.
The headroom measures 39.3 inches, 38.5 inches, and 35.4 inches in the first, second, and third rows, respectively. Everyone will benefit from ample legroom, too:
When seated side by side, there’s plenty of shoulder room in the second row, with 57.4 inches, and 40.1 inches in the third row.
Total passenger volume can measure as much as 135.8 cubic feet. Then, you have all that cargo space:

The exterior proportions of the Mazda CX-9 create the attractive shape of the SUV while still allowing for all that interior practicality.
The wheelbase is 115.3 inches while the length of the entire SUV measures 199.4 inches. It’s 77.5 inches tall and offers 69 inches of width. If a situation arises where you need to go down a dirt road or over a muddy trail, the 8.8 inches of ground clearance will come in handy.

There’s a certain punchiness to the Mazda CX-9 when you press on the accelerator. The 2.5L turbo 4-cylinder motor generates as much as 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with 93 octane fuel. Stick with 87 octane and you’ll still enjoy 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
The i-Activ AWD® system is standard and helps provide traction over slick surfaces. According to EPA estimates, the SUV returns an impressive 20 city/26 highway MPG.*
Finally, a 6-speed automatic transmission moves you from gear to gear. Manual-shift mode and Sport Mode allow you to customize elements of your performance while on the go.
