Mazda CX-9 I (facelift 2010) 3.7 V6 (273 Hp) AWD Automatic
Mazda CX-9:
The Mazda CX-9 is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured by Mazda from 2006 to 2024 through two generations with three-row seating. It was Mazda's largest passenger vehicle until the arrival of the Mazda CX-90.
Despite being built in Japan at Mazda's Ujina #1 plant in Hiroshima Prefecture, the CX-9 was never offered in the Japanese domestic market. The shorter and narrower Mazda CX-8 was offered in Japan instead. Production was ended in 2024, with the Mazda CX-90 serving as its successor.
The first generation CX-9 was originally fitted with a 3. 5 L Ford V6 engine, but, in 2008, the engine was changed to a 3. 7 L unit producing 204 kW and 366 N⋅m of torque. The updated engine was introduced in June 2007 and it was now built by Mazda themselves. This engine was coupled with a six speed automatic transmission. The first generation is based on the Ford CD3 platform that is shared with many Ford and Mazda models; the Ford Edge is its close mechanical sibling. It was launched at the 2006 New York International Auto Show....(Read more on Wikipedia)
