The deliberately aggressive front end demonstratesthe “malicious glance” of the front lighting equipment and the largegrille, and frying the forage flaunts the narrow LED lights and a powerfulbumper into which the two exhaust pipes are integrated. The proportions of thefull-size SUV are given by the “long-nosed” predatory silhouette withthe front pillars shifted backwards and large strokes of wheel arches.

The interior space of the car has been thought through to the smallest detail, so the driver will feel comfortable. The steering wheel and armchair easily adapt to the dimensions of the driver through electrical adjustments. Even if you use the car by several drivers, you can save the settings for each of them.
Interior decoration Mazda CX-9 decorated in a rich and thoroughbred style, but
it is not without sports aesthetics. A beautiful and laconic front panel, divided
by an aluminum blade, is topped by a color screen of a 7-inch multimedia center
and a stylish block of the zonal climate system. Behind the multifunction
steering wheel with a three-spoke design, a stylish and informative toolbox is
added, optionally supplemented with a 4.6-inch scoreboard.

forced to make a little space, since he has a half-place for him. They will be
able to take advantage of the option to adjust the position of the backs of the
seats, move forward and backward, as well as the climate control unit. In the

provide control of the audio system, navigation and the situation around the
vehicle.

This makes it possibleto transport a significant amount of different cargo. To gain access to thetrunk, you should use the rear door, equipped with an electric drive.
In the interior of the Japanese crossover of the second generation, high-quality finishing materials prevail – soft and pliable plastics, natural leather, as well as inserts from winged metal and rosewood. Salon CX-9 is divided into seven seats, but if on the first and middle rows of seats riders are promised comfortable accommodation, the gallery is more focused on children.
