The 2011 Mazda CX-9 is a mid-size crossover SUV that offers a blend of sporty driving dynamics, spacious interior, and a comfortable ride. While the first generation CX-9 debuted in 2007, the 2011 model year saw a significant mid-cycle refresh, introducing updated styling, interior upgrades, and improved fuel economy. The CX-9's exterior design featured a more aggressive and modern look with a new front grille, headlights, and taillights. Inside, the cabin received a welcome refresh with higher quality materials, a redesigned dashboard, and improved ergonomics. The 2011 CX-9 was available in three trim levels: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. The Sport trim came standard with cloth upholstery, while the Touring and Grand Touring trims offered leather upholstery and heated front seats. All trims featured a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 166 horsepower and 167 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain provided sufficient power for daily driving, but some critics noted its less than spirited acceleration.

Despite some shortcomings in performance, the 2011 Mazda CX-9 impressed with its spacious interior and versatile cargo space. It offered seating for seven passengers in three rows, with ample legroom and headroom for adults in both the first and second rows. The third row, while tight for adults, provided adequate space for children or occasionally transporting adults for short trips. The CX-9 also boasted a generous cargo area, with 17.2 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which expanded to 47.1 cubic feet with the third row folded down. The 2011 CX-9's standard features included power windows and locks, keyless entry, air conditioning, a CD player, and a six-speaker audio system. Optional features included a navigation system, a sunroof, a rearview camera, a Bose premium audio system, and a DVD entertainment system. The 2011 Mazda CX-9 was a capable and stylish family SUV that offered a blend of comfort, practicality, and driving enjoyment. However, its relatively underpowered engine and limited cargo space compared to some competitors meant it wasn't the best choice for those prioritizing towing capacity or hauling large cargo.
