Shaped to suggest a carved object, the genuine Rosewood of the center console is completed with a matte finish that is pleasing to the touch while revealing the wood's depth of grain. Rosewood is a highly valued material all around the world.
Another way the Mazda CX-9 elevates the driving experience is by subduing road, wind and engine noise. We added 53 pounds of sound-deadening material, used sound-insulating glass, and installed even better seal insulation than in the previous generation. All this makes the Mazda CX-9 remarkably quiet, ensuring your time behind the wheel is one of minimal stress and maximum enjoyment.
Mazda CX-9 is carefully engineered to give you plenty of torque at lower RPMs, where you spend the majority of your drive time. You can tap into 310 ft-lb / 420.3 Nm of torque at 2,000 RPM, substantially more than other competitors.
Weather and road conditions can change in an instant. That's why Mazda's available predictive i-Activ AWD® all-wheel drive system monitors everything from outside temperature to throttle input and braking patterns. Using that information, it adjusts power delivery to give you optimal traction before your wheels can slip. Even when the weather's perfect, i-Activ AWD® helps stabilize and improve the Mazda CX-9's overall road grip by sensing changes in steering effort and traction.
