Last week, while my mother-n-law was in town, I decided to escort her around in style and rented the all new Mazda CX-9 AWD. I’ve always loved test driving new vehicles, but the Mazda CX-9 AWD was above par.
Mazda CX-9 Safety Features
Whenever I am looking at a vehicle, safety features are top on my list. Side impact beams, airbag occupancy sensor, and ABS and Driveline traction control are all great aspects of the Mazda CX-9. Although my kids are getting older, the rear child safety locks are quite handy for those with younger children. I also like the fact that there is a big backup camera and I was able to see clearly while pulling out of my garage and parking at the mall.
Mazda CX-9 Safety Interior
Now onto the interior of the Mazda CX-9. The Mazda CX-9 is a beautiful luxury vehicle, inside and out. It comes standard with front bucket seats and a six-way manual adjustable driver’s seat. The passenger seat also moves in 4 different ways. Now that’s a lot of personal space to get comfortable in!
The Mazda CX-9 also has power rear windows with a child lock safety feature and fixed 3rd row windows.
While driving the Mazda CX-9, you will notice that the vehicle has a comfortable leather steering wheel, along with a compass for added navigation.
Mazda CX-9 Safety Entertainment
What would a beautiful vehicle like the Mazda CX-9 AWD do without proper entertainment? The Mazda CX-9 AWD comes fully loaded with bluetooth wireless phone connectivity, a fixed antenna, 2 LCD monitors in the front and an AM/FM sound system with 6 Speakers.
Plus, let’s not forget about the vehicle’s smart navigation system, which is especially useful if you have to travel a lot.
Mazda CX-9 Safety Mechanics
When looking for a new vehicle, you want to inspect it’s features from bumper to bumper. The mechanics of the Mazda CX-9 are definitely comparable to other vehicles in it’s class. The engine is a 2.5L SKYACTIV-G 4-Cylinder Turbo, while the transmission is comprised of a SKYACTIVE-DRIVE 6-Speed Automatic with sport and manual shift modes.
Furthermore, the Mazda CX-9 comes complete with battery run down protection, gas pressured shock absorbers, front-wheel drive and Fuel Economy Monitor. It was enlightening to see my fuel economy in action.
So…now it’s your turn to get out there and test drive the all new Mazda CX-9! Afterwards, come back and tell us what you thought. We look forward to hearing your comments!
Happy Driving!
