The 2008 Mazda CX-9 is a mid-size crossover SUV that marked Mazda's first foray into the three-row SUV segment. It was a significant departure from the brand's usual sporty and compact offerings, aiming to attract families and individuals seeking a practical and comfortable vehicle with a touch of driving engagement. The CX-9 was built on a modified Ford platform, sharing some components with the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. This shared platform ensured a robust and reliable foundation, but Mazda infused it with its own signature styling and driving dynamics. The CX-9 boasts a distinctive design with a bold grille, sweptback headlights, and a sculpted profile. Power came from a 3.7-liter V6 engine, producing a respectable 273 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The CX-9 offered front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, depending on the trim level.

Inside the cabin, the 2008 CX-9 prioritizes comfort and practicality. It features a spacious interior with ample legroom and headroom for all three rows of seating. While the third row was best suited for children or occasional use, the second row offers ample comfort and a range of seating configurations to accommodate passengers and cargo needs. The CX-9 is equipped with a comprehensive suite of standard features, including power windows and locks, air conditioning, and a CD player. Higher trim levels added features like leather upholstery, heated seats, a power sunroof, and a navigation system. The 2008 CX-9 was praised for its comfortable ride, smooth handling, and relatively quiet cabin. It offered a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency. While its reliability was generally solid, some owners reported issues with the transmission and electrical components. The 2008 CX-9 played a significant role in expanding Mazda's appeal to a wider audience and paved the way for subsequent generations of the CX-9, which continued to refine the model's design, performance, and features.
