The Mazda CX-9, produced from 2007 to 2010, marked Mazda's entry into the three-row crossover SUV segment. This first-generation CX-9 was a bold statement for the Japanese automaker, offering a spacious and stylish alternative to established players like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. Powering the CX-9 was a 3.7-liter V6 engine, delivering 273 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. This robust engine, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, provided ample power for both city driving and highway cruising. The CX-9 offered a comfortable and refined ride, with a well-balanced suspension that provided a smooth and controlled handling experience. Interior amenities were equally impressive, offering generous passenger space, comfortable seating for seven, and a well-appointed dashboard with user-friendly controls. While the Mazda CX-9 was lauded for its styling, performance, and interior comfort, it did have some drawbacks. The fuel economy was relatively poor compared to its competitors, especially with the V6 engine. Moreover, the CX-9's handling, while generally good, could feel a bit numb and uninspiring at times. Despite these shortcomings, the 2007-2010 Mazda CX-9 established its place as a capable and stylish family SUV. It offered a practical blend of space, comfort, and performance, making it a compelling option for families seeking a reliable and versatile vehicle. The CX-9's introduction was a key milestone for Mazda, opening the door for subsequent generations of the model which would build on the strengths of the first generation and address some of its inherent weaknesses.
