TAKE YOUR OWN ROAD

Turn everyday driving into pure pleasure. The journey starts with a newly-developed high-power 204kW[270hp] 3.7-litre V6 DOHC to move Mazda CX-9 with smoothly powerful grace and authority.

Featuring all-aluminum construction, four valves per cylinder and variable intake valve timing, this lightweight engine delivers tremendous torque and power across the entire speed range giving you effortless, exciting response in all driving conditions.

What’s more, a wide range of advanced measures holds NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) down at the levels found in a luxury sedan. The 6-speed Activematic gearbox with carefully-chosen gear ratios keeps the engine in the sweet spot, delivering sparkling acceleration at any time.

And an active torque-split four-wheel drive system (2WD models available in some areas) delivers all this sporty power to the road. This advanced system takes input from various sensors and automatically adjusts torque distribution depending on traction conditions: up to 50% of the drive power goes to the rear wheels to maintain curve-hugging grip under virtually any road conditions. All-independent suspension - MacPherson strut at the front and multilink at the rear - is integrated with an ultra-rigid body to assure a smooth, comfortable ride allied with taut, linear handling.
