North America’s 2008 truck of the year is heading to Europe. The CX-9 enjoyed its European debut today in Moscow and is another sporty SUV crossover from Mazda which seems to confirm the Japanese brands intent on its future within the sector - particularly in Russia.
The sleek, roomy SUV is the first Mazda to feature a three row bench and has enough space to comfortably seat six. A lot of emphasis has been placed on delivering a superior ride in the CX-9, with new measures taken to ensure a quieter cabin, plenty of leg and head room paired with a powerful, smooth engine.
Under the bonnet is a 3.7-litre V6 unit, mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox that also has a manual shift mode. It delivers 366Nm of torque, 273bhp and a 0-62mph time of 10.1 seconds, with CO2 emissions at 309g/Km.
Mazda have placed a large emphasis on safety in the CX-9, and it performs impressively, winning America’s top award making it one of the safest SUV’s around.
