Regardless of whether you live in Norwood, MA or elsewhere, Mazda Gallery is willing to bet that if you don't own, or haven't seen the Mazda CX-9, you've at least heard of it. In a segment full of lemmings it's a gazelle. Or, as Motor Trend magazine says, "...a high-speed, canyon-carving seven-seater, the CX-9 is severely gifted."1
Over the past three years, the Mazda CX-9 has earned seven rave reviews from some of the industry's most highly esteemed critics as well as three distinguished awards, or should we say four distinguished awards. At the end of 2011, the SUV earned one more: a place at the top of U.S. News and World Reports' "Affordable Midsize SUVs" list.
Among the prevailing themes in critics' reviews of the feisty Mazda CX-9 are it's small-car zip, fun driving experience, precise handling, sophisticated good looks and highly competitive resale value within the full-size SUV segment. Take Edmunds.com, for example. They say, "...[The Mazda CX-9] should be required driving for those who say that full-size SUVs are, by definition a snooze to pilot - it whips through corners and hustles down straightaways like a vehicle half its size."1
Now, you might be asking yourself at what cost does the Mazda CX-9 SUV's power come. We know what you're thinking... And the answer is, no Mazda did not sacrifice fuel-economy for power. Even with 273 horsepower, the CX-9 still offers a competitive 24 mpg/hwy.
Not good enough? Mazda Gallery is happy to inform you Mazda is launching an even more fuel-efficient CX variant, the CX-5 this year. It is slated to hit our showroom in February with an EPA-estimated 33 mpg/hwy. That's nearly 10 miles per gallon more than the new CX-9!
