Mazda Adds Front-WD Models To CX-9 Range


Mazda Adds Front-WD Models To CX-9 Range

Author: NRMA Drivers SeatDate: 17 June 2011

Available in Classic and Luxury grades, the new CX-9 front-wheel-drive models will offer increased choice for customers who require the flexibility of seating for up to seven but without the need for all-wheel drive.

The CX-9 Classic FWD becomes the introductory model in the range and is equipped with an impressive list of features including 18-inch alloy wheels, auto headlamps, cruise control, three-zone climate control, power windows and mirrors plus a leather trimmed steering wheel and gear shift knob.

Safety remains a priority with all CX-9s boasting a full complement of safety features including six airbags (offering protection for all three rows), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Roll Stability Control (RSC) and a reversing camera.

The CX-9 Luxury FWD is the next new addition to the range. Showcasing all the equipment of the Classic FWD, the Luxury model adds 20-inch alloy wheels, a power-sliding and tilt glass sunroof, heated power mirrors with 3-position memory and reverse tilt-down function, power adjustable leather seats with three-position memory function and a premium Bose audio system with 10 speakers.

The Luxury model is also available with a Satellite Navigation option adding a fully integrated 7-inch touch-screen satellite navigation system and Bluetooth® with audio streaming.

Each of the new FWD models have been keenly priced with a Manufacturer’s List Price (MLP) $4,500 less than the equivalent AWD models.

All CX-9s continue to be powered by a 3.7 litre V6 engine mated to a 6-speed Activematic transmission. FWD models offer fuel economy of 11 litres per 100km while the fuel efficiency of AWD models has improved to 11.2 litres per 100km. Power and torque figures remain unchanged at 204kW and 367Nm respectively.
