Mazda CX-9 was introduced in 2006 and sales started in 2007. The crossover was assembled in Japan and supplied to the markets of Russia, USA, South America, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine.
The car is built on the CD3 platform, which formed the basis of the Ford Mondeo, Mazda 6 and Ford Edge. During production, the model has gone through two restyling: in 2010 and in 2013. Sales of the new generation CX-9 started in 2016.
Mazda's largest crossover comes with three rows of seats for up to 7 people. However, only children will be comfortable on the far bench. The second row sofa has the ability to move longitudinally - within 10 cm.
Responsible for safety: the dynamic stabilization system, traction control, front and side airbags for the driver and passenger, as well as curtains for all three rows of seats.
In American crash tests according to the NHTSA (National Traffic Safety Administration), the off-road vehicle was recognized as one of the safest in its class and received 4 stars for crew protection. The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) agrees with the results, but concluded that the Japanese vehicle offered mediocre rollover protection.
Engines
Initially, the CX-9 was equipped with a 3.5-liter petrol V6 / 263 hp. (not offered in Russia). In 2008, it was replaced by a V6 with a volume of 3.7 liters / 277 hp. Both units were developed by Ford and belonged to the Cyclone series. The 3.5-liter was used in the Ford Edge and Explorer, while the 3.7-liter was used in the Ford Mustang and F-150.
The engines for the CX-9 were assembled at the Mazda engine plant in Japan. They have a chain-type timing drive.
After 100-150 thousand km, the rear engine support sometimes surrenders. Over time, the starter can also get depressed. As a rule, it is possible to get rid of the cleaning and lubrication of the moving gear (about 4,000 rubles).
After 150,000 km, the pump may leak. The problem is that it is driven through the timing chain. And it is almost impossible to dismantle it without removing the engine. The cost of a new water pump is about 5,000 rubles. For everything you will have to pay almost 50,000 rubles.
It is not worth pulling with the replacement of the water pump. Presumably, it was because of the pump on individual copies that after 150,000 km a major overhaul of the engine was needed. Overheating, destruction of pistons and cranking of liners has occurred. It took about 150,000 rubles to restore the motor.
Transmission
The engines were combined exclusively with the 6-speed automatic Aisin TF-81SC. The box is considered eternal, provided that the oil is changed regularly - every 60,000 km. Repairs (40-60 thousand rubles) are not numerous and occur only after 200,000 km. Solenoids, valve body or torque converter demanded attention.
The all-wheel drive system posed a number of problems. For example, an electromagnetic clutch failed due to a broken wiring. To restore it, it was necessary to remove and disassemble the rear differential (about 12,000 rubles). In some cases, thanks to the ingenuity of the mechanic, it was possible to do without disassembling the unit (3,000 rubles).
Much more serious questions are related to the transfer case. The unit does not have a drain plug. Apparently, the engineers hoped that the oil resource would last for a long time. However, the transfer case is located close to the exhaust manifold. As a result, the oil overheats and rather quickly loses its lubricating properties, turning into tar. The result is sad - premature wear of the assembly. The cost of the original handout is 100,000 rubles.
One of the harbingers of trouble is a leaking front right-hand drive oil seal. The thickened grease clogs the breather and the bearing lubrication channels.
This miscalculation, coupled with corrosion, contributed to another ailment - the destruction of the splines on the shaft connecting the transfer case and the automatic transmission differential (12,000 rubles).
After a while, it may be necessary to replace the outboard bearing of the propeller shaft - 2-5 thousand rubles. In addition, the silent blocks of the rear differential wear out: two on the bracket and two pressed into the beam (2,000 rubles each).
Only the front-wheel drive versions, which were offered exclusively in the North American market, were spared from transmission problems.
Undercarriage
The branded suspension settings tend to be more sporty. The big guy is surprisingly good on twisty roads. But the price to pay for obedience is smoothness. However, the agility of the CX-9 is inferior to the smaller Mazda CX-7.
MacPherson struts are installed on the front axle, and a multi-link design on the rear. The weak link of the front suspension is the support, which, at times, wear out after 20-50 thousand km. As a result, there is a creak and knock. The cost of the original part is about 2,000 rubles, the analogue part is 1,000 rubles.
The steering rack can rattle after 100,000 km. You will need a repair kit (3,000 rubles) and good service, which will ask for about 8,000 rubles. In extreme cases, you will have to purchase a new rail - 46,000 rubles.
Rear wheel bearings will last up to 100-150 thousand km. They change assembled with a hub - 11,000 rubles for the original and 6,000 rubles for an analogue. Soon it will be the turn of the shock absorbers - more often the front ones. Shock absorbers are available for 6-7 thousand rubles. Often, the rear springs also sag - 16,000 rubles.
It is worth noting that in 2015, Mazda organized a recall campaign for the CX-9 2007-2014 model year to replace the front levers due to corrosion and destruction of the ball joints. This review did not affect our country. You will have to pay for the lever - 15,000 rubles.
Unfortunately, there are also problems with the brake system - the vacuum brake booster fails. The cost of the new amplifier is 12,000 rubles, and the replacement work is about 3,000 rubles.
Other problems and malfunctions
Over time, the steering wheel cover is erased in the cabin, and numerous scratches are found on the "silver" decorative linings. Some owners, with high mileage, note the appearance of a backlash in the driver's seat. Repairs are very expensive - the seat frame needs to be replaced.
Sometimes the tailgate electric drive fails. Water through the leaky corrugation of the wiring enters the servo motor and control board.
The heater motor may also require replacement. The cost of a new original unit is 20,000 rubles. Fortunately, you can buy an analog - about 5,000 rubles.
Traces of corrosion, as a rule, can be found only on the tailgate - near the chrome trim. It does not differ in durability and chrome on the exterior elements.
Conclusion
If you are a fan of rounded shapes and good handling, then the Mazda CX-9 will be a good alternative. And three rows of seats will allow the crossover to be fully used as a family car. The main thing is that the transport tax and possible problems with the engine and distribution box do not undermine the family budget.
To date, full-size crossovers are already rapidly replacing large SUVs. The reason for this is the combination of the comfort of a sedan with excellent cross-country ability on almost any terrain. The Japanese manufacturer has started producing full-size crossovers that are affordable.
The CX-9 model of this year is offered to customers in only one configuration. Whether it is worth buying a car, and whether the technical characteristics of its cost, we will analyze in this article.
Exterior features
The new car is somewhat reminiscent of the sixth version, but it is worth noting that the 2018 Mazda cx 9 is an order of magnitude larger than its predecessor. The features of the model include the rounded shape of the lattice and its rather large dimensions. There are several chrome elements on the surface of the car. The used optics of the new model are characterized by a relatively small size and a slightly oblong shape, as, incidentally, for all cars of this Japanese manufacturer that appeared years earlier.
The front part of the bumper is massive enough, equipped with air intakes. To create the rear bumper, a minimalist style was used: there is nothing superfluous on it, the lights are small, there is an additional chrome strip under the glass, which is a kind of continuation of them. Around the entire perimeter of the body, plastic protection was made, which you cannot see with the naked eye, because the manufacturer strove to ensure that it merged with the coating. The wheel arches are distinguished by impressive dimensions, which make it possible to install large discs (up to 20 inches). Thanks to the use of modern Japanese technology, the car has a chrome layer, which provides additional shine to the novelty.
Crossover dimensions
The novelty from the Japanese manufacturer has quite impressive characteristics, but, for example, the body length is 5056 millimeters, which is 30 millimeters less than that of the model that preceded the 2017 (2016) mazda cx 9. But in order to make the stay in the car more comfortable, the wheelbase had to be increased to 1930 mm. Taking into account all the trends of our time, in order to ensure the demand for the novelty, durable high-quality steel was used during the manufacture of the body. This simplified the control process and significantly reduced the weight of the machine. Having analyzed all that has been said, we can confidently classify the Mazda CX 9 car as a middle-class crossover. Despite the fact that the manufacturer tried to do everything in order for the model to be well equipped, nevertheless, the novelty is unlikely to take a leading position in the competition with cars with similar characteristics. The reason for this will be the presence of only one engine, the need to choose a transmission, as well as insufficiently well-developed lighting systems compared to the popular crossovers of the German car industry.
Spacious salon СХ-9
Mazda cx 9 2018 has a spacious interior, which has everything that is needed for the driver and passengers. The trim is made of sufficient quality, and the steering wheel allows you to control not only the car, but also many additional functions and options. For some reason, the manufacturer refused to use the latest dashboard technology and install a large monitor, and preferred a standard design with arrows and a scale. On the center console there is a large screen for controlling the car's multimedia systems. There is also a compact climate control unit on it. Between the two rows of seats there is a special lever that allows you to change gears, as well as a block on which there are buttons for controlling other options.
The interior was decorated with natural leather and textile materials. Given the spaciousness of the cabin, we can note the simplicity of its design, as well as the build quality. Recall that it is the Japanese manufacturers who prefer design restraint, avoiding a large number of decorative elements, and the new Mazda cx 9 2016 is no exception.
The crossover is capable of accelerating to 192 km / h, and the first hundred can be typed in literally 10 seconds. Working on a combined cycle, the consumption will not exceed 11 liters. At the moment, there is an opportunity to purchase a crossover by pre-order in seven different colors. The standard equipment has wheels with a diameter of 18 inches. Upgrades to 20 inches are available at an additional cost. In turn, it is worth noting the high-quality diode optics, which are installed even in the basic configuration from the manufacturer. The price of the new model includes a multimedia system and an 8-inch touchscreen, powered by the Mazda Connect system. The driver and passengers will also be pleased with the fact that the cabin is equipped with a Bose audio system with powerful speakers in the amount of 12 pieces.
The Japanese manufacturer has carefully designed the security system. It is called i-Activsense, and it implies a cruise control option. Thanks to it, the crossover will be able to automatically stop in case of approaching an oncoming vehicle. In addition, there is the possibility of monitoring blind spots and switching headlights from low to high beam. But only the Sport version is equipped with this function. Despite the fact that the car has a fairly large dimensions, the new model is quite simple and comfortable to drive, has a powerful engine and excellent characteristics that guarantee safe driving even at high speeds.
Configuration and prices Mazda CX-9 2018
In recent years, there has been a downward trend in demand for cars from Japanese manufacturers, but the demand for the Korean auto industry is growing inexorably. The reason for this phenomenon can be called a decrease in the level of build quality and an insignificant package bundle. But knowing this, the new generation Mazda is still offered to the buyer in only one configuration. Traditionally, car production began in Hiroshima. It was this plant that produced all the previous models. According to the manufacturer, most of the cars went for sale in the United States, where the sale of new cars has been carried out since the end of last year. According to preliminary data, the new Mazda cx 9 2018 will be delivered to the territory of Russia not only in one configuration. There is information that a car with a seven-seater saloon will be created especially for the Russian market.
But while there is no official confirmation of these words, we can only hope that the manufacturer will not limit itself to the Sport version. The average cost of a car will start at 1,910,000 rubles. For this money, the model will be offered as standard equipment and without any additional options. Mazda cx 9 2017 is equipped only with a gasoline engine with a volume of 3.7 liters. But the strong point of the novelty is that thanks to the use of innovative technologies and equipment, it is powerful enough, has 277 horsepower. The video review clearly shows that the car picks up speed quickly enough, and the driver can easily maneuver the car on the road. Together with the gasoline engine, the buyer is provided with automatic equipment. By the way, it is installed on most other machines produced by the Japanese manufacturer. Until now, nothing is known about the transmission efficiency of the new crossover. The car is produced with an all-wheel drive version, thanks to which the car is quite stable on the road regardless of weather conditions.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Mazda CX-9 2018-2019 in a new body are revealed based on feedback from real owners. More detailed pros and cons of the Mazda CX-9 2.5 with automatic and all-wheel drive 4WD can be found in the stories below:
Owner reviews
What we liked: the design is beyond praise, interior 4+ (poor ergonomics with good design and materials), 4 running properties (smooth running, minimal roll, excellent dynamics and zero cross-country ability).
Excellent informative brakes, great steering. A very good head light, but I still haven't figured out if it is a bending light. Decent audio system. An abundance of electronic assistants.
What I didn’t like at all: as stated above - ergonomics. The controls are badly located. Not only is the light control on the turn signal arm, but the steering wheel rim completely covers the switch. As a result, it is impossible to switch the mode without diverting attention from the road. Fortunately, there is a full-fledged auto mode. Further - the climate control is closed by the automatic transmission mode switch lever, moreover, in the automatic mode, the climate blows in the legs ... Why ?!
The seats behind the front passenger are significantly less than behind the driver (I adjusted both seats for myself). To sit in the front more or less comfortably (without resting your knees in the glove compartment), the passenger seat will be shifted back more than the driver's.
Horse turning radius - the first time I did not enter the parking lot at the Festival, I had to move back. Today, the consumption in busy Moscow is 17.7 l / 100 km.

I really liked the head-up display on the windshield, I didn't have this before, I was afraid it would strain, but there are no rules, very convenient. Adaptive high beam, just super, again I thought that some kind of garbage, but no, everything works as it should.
I don’t touch the light at all, the automatic distant one is on all the time, and the machine itself decides when to turn it on / off (only with good street lighting), it doesn’t turn it off when oncoming, but somehow takes the beam to the side.
I liked the active retention of the car in the lane, sometimes you get distracted from the road, and this thing brings you back. Everything else is up to the mark, as it should be in a car for 3 million. Rides well, I'm sure everything is beautiful inside, outside too!
Now about the minor flaws, well, or rather nit-picking. The rear-view camera gets dirty all the time in the Moscow slush, the same thing happened in Tiana, there were cameras in a circle. Honestly, it's utter crap. In 90% of cases, dirty.
No seat ventilation. Now I don’t care, of course, but in the summer I’ll start remembering Mazda’s engineers with unkind words. Heated steering wheel only in the steering wheel girth area, not in a circle. Incomprehensible savings ...
In all other respects, the car is good: large, comfortable, stylish, with a rather interesting and modern design.
Review of Mazda CX-9 new 2.5 automatic transmission 2017
Where can I buy?
Friends! I waited a long time for the appearance of the CX-9 2017 in the Russian Federation. I waited. Bottom line: complete disappointment. Since the delivery of the 9 to the market in America, Canada and Japan, I have watched dozens of enthusiastic videos: cool design, fun engine, maximum configuration and 50 kilos of noise isolation.
And all this in terms of wood was in the region of 2.6 million, taking into account the delivery to the Russian Federation. And so it appeared with us since mid-October 2017. And what: a stripped-down "maximum" configuration without a hatch, full-size spare wheel, heated windshield, fin, with a dull interior and lack of sound insulation ...
In a word - complete disappointment, and all this is at least 3.01 million rubles. Well, and also the real fuel consumption of 18.5 liters.
Degree, a review about the 2018 Mazda CX-9 automatic machine
Finally, I have it, my new Mazda CX-9! Second generation! Fresh! The minimum equipment for Russia is Supreme, but the price is wow - almost three million. Large roomy car. Three rows of seats. Comfortable, high seating position. Made right for my height. A family of five, including myself, accommodates easily.
First impressions - wow! Rides not say that fast, but rather impudent. I would like more traction when overtaking. The American versions have 250 hp, but we have reduced it to 231 hp to save on tax. It is not clear why they cut so much. They would remove five horses, and it would be nice ...
Fuel consumption will not say that it is modest. It was run-in, but you need to take into account that it is winter. In the city, it flies under 20 liters, the track is 10-12 liters. A lot, but the car is heavy. But how it drives, I really like it. The machine works clearly and smoothly, like a variator.
The trunk is large. I usually drive with the third row folded down. It's a shame there is no full-size spare. Only a stowaway. A sub is mounted inside it. He plays like that normally. Music, by the way, is Bose. Premium, 12 speakers. I didn't even have to pay extra for it.
For a complete set I will say this - not bad. Although not everything you want is there. The electric settings of the front seats with the driver's memory are good. Light sensors, rain, parking sensors in a circle, cruise, trunk drive. The steering wheel, two rows of seats and mirrors are heated. There is no heated windshield (sad). The headlights are diode, cool, but the running lights are halogens. It's kind of weird.
Inconvenience ... Oddly enough, the multimedia screen. It is touch-sensitive, but the sensor is cut down during movement and it remains only from the twists to control. Who Said It Is Safer? Until you get used to such a transition, you will count all the pillars. Well, it sticks out of the panel on top, I would like it to be removed inside when not needed, but this function is not. The rest of the impressions are positive so far.
Maxim, review of the Mazda CX-9 Supreme 2.5 (231 HP) AT 2018
Engine and automatic transmission
Of course, it's too early to talk about the reliability of the new Mazda turbo engine, but it's worth praising its settings. The motor is very responsive and predictable. In conjunction with the box, it creates confidence in every action. You always know how the car will behave in any situation. The driver always clearly understands what will happen at this speed, if the pedal is pressed like this.
The car is beautiful. Very beautiful. From afar. But at the same time, upon closer inspection, all traces of the sink are visible. The quality of the paintwork is like all Japanese people. Plastic door trims are especially bad at resisting aggressive car wash workers who shine ...
He is beautiful. Almost without any "buts". It is beautiful, finished with good materials and quite ergonomic (the arrangement of all elements is clear and intuitive). The forces on the buttons / washers are calibrated and precise. You can regulate everything without looking. Finally, the passenger seat is height adjustable!
The third row is suitable for children and adolescents no more than 150-160 cm tall and for driving a distance not exceeding 200 km. Further it will be already uncomfortable for them.
Suspension and steering
The behavior of a car is very close to that of a passenger car. And to the German, not to the Japanese. There is some roll in corners, but, of course, cannot be compared with the Kruzaks. And even Ford fell much harder.
The car drives very well, while the car is quite comfortable for everyone. Small change on the road swallows generally imperceptibly, smoothes large holes perfectly, without breakdowns. He dislikes only the simultaneous collision with a sharp edge of an obstacle with two front wheels at once.
The owner drives a Mazda CX-9 2.5 (231 hp) automatic transmission 2018
"Mazda CX-9", the technical characteristics of which will now be discussed, was first released 11 years ago. Today, a new generation model is being produced, which is a powerful and stylish crossover.
What engine does it have under the hood? How comfortable is the cabin? Is the equipment good? And what is the opinion of its owners about this car? Well, now it is worth briefly talking about all this.
It can be said to be the heart of the car. Therefore, it is worth starting to talk about the technical characteristics of the Mazda CX-9 with an overview of the engine. Under the hood, the crossover has a turbocharged Skyactiv-G 2.5T, and here's what you should know about it:
- Volume - 2.5 liters.
- The number of cylinders is 4.
- Power - 250 horsepower.
- Acceleration to 100 km / h - 8 seconds.
- The maximum speed is 250 km / h.
Of course, after learning about the power of the unit under the hood of this crossover, motorists begin to take an interest in fuel consumption.
The technical characteristics of the "Mazda CX-9" are powerful, but this car, surprisingly, consumes gasoline in moderation. It takes about 8.7 liters per 100 kilometers traveled along the highway. Within the city limits, for the same distance traveled, the engine will consume 11 liters.
Transmission
It is also necessary to say a few words about it, since we are talking about the technical characteristics of the "Mazda CX-9", the photo of which is presented above.
The powerful Skyactiv-G engine, which meets the Euro 5 environmental standard, is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This box was designed from the ground up by engineers. The new design has helped improve performance, durability and efficiency.
And, by the way, for the first time a crossover gearbox of this model has a sport mode. By switching to it, each driver will feel that the downshifts occur many times faster. The responses to the accelerator pedal, by the way, also became more intense and linear.
Continuing to talk about the technical characteristics of the "Mazda CX-9", it is necessary to mention the internal equipment of this car.
One of the features is the MZD Connect system, which displays all the information the driver needs on a color 8-inch screen. By the way, he has access to the Internet, can synchronize with a smartphone, and is also capable of performing the functions of a navigator.
Looking into the cabin also reveals a 4.6-inch TFT display, which is complemented by a head-up screen on the windshield.
Also an important advantage of the crossover is the Bose premium audio system with 12 speakers. It delivers the perfect sound for your music, with a silk tweeter cover specially designed for Mazda.
But perhaps the most important thing about this crossover is the presence of three rows of comfortable seats. Seven seats - enough space for a whole family or a large group of friends! Access to the back row, by the way, is incredibly easy and convenient. To get there, you just need to press the lever, which will provide a passage there.
Security
This is the most important nuance that every person who chooses a car takes into account. Everyone wants to have a reliable vehicle, and this is logical.
The technical characteristics of the new Mazda CX-9 are good, but its safety equipment is no less impressive.
This is, of course, a set of i-ACTIVSENSE options, which are designed to alert the driver of obstacles to the side, front, rear and blind spots.
The car also has an adaptive lighting system that helps to analyze the situation on the road even in pitch darkness. Automatic dimming is a really useful option.
Also, the car is equipped with an emergency response system "ERA-GLONASS", a function of warning about driver fatigue and sudden braking, monitoring of dead zones, and also an assistant notifying of the car leaving the occupied lane. There is even an option to recognize road signs. So the technical characteristics of the Mazda CX-9 are really impressive.
Configuration and cost
The Mazda CX-9 crossover is offered to motorists in two versions. There is a Supreme grade - in this version the car costs about 2,890,000 rubles.
The second option is Exclusive. The price of the crossover in this option is slightly higher - 3,010,000 rubles. For a surcharge, a person receives all the "bonuses" listed in the safety section, as well as LED running lights.
However, the crossover is good in any case. It really has everything - from 2-zone climate control and full power accessories, to the lateral stability system and a rear-view camera.
What do the owners of the crossover tell?
Above it was briefly described the technical characteristics of the "Mazda CX-9". Reviews are the last topic on which I would like to draw attention.
In general, car owners are happy with their purchase, and this is what they talk about most often:
- Driving performance. Car enthusiasts give this car a solid "five". The ride is smooth, the dynamics are excellent, the rolls are minimal - no difficulties on the road.
- Head-up display. People who did not have this option in their previous cars are initially afraid that this option will interfere. But no, this is a very handy feature. Everyone gets used to it very quickly.
- Adaptive light option. Allows you not to touch the light at all, which is very convenient. The machine itself decides when it should be turned on.
- Wiper heating zone. An irreplaceable option in cold winter.
- Third row of seats. He is not in this car "for show" - there really can be accommodated in comfort.
And of course, one of the advantages of this car is cost. Many people assure: in our time, for ~ 3 million rubles in the cabin, it is difficult to find even a decent sedan in such a rich configuration. And this is a crossover, and even with such a powerful engine.
So if someone doubts whether it is worth taking this car, then you should stop thinking and go to a car dealership. Having bought a "Mazda CX-9", a person himself will feel all the advantages of this car.
