For the 2010 model year, the CX-9 seven-seat crossover gets its most significant update since 2008, when its V-6 engine grew in size from 3.5 to 3.7 liters. Available with front- or all-wheel drive, the CX-9 competes with the Chevrolet Traverse, Hyundai Veracruz and Toyota Highlander. New for 2010 The CX-9's exterior is restyled for 2010, bringing it in line with the rest of the Mazda family. It also boasts interior upgrades, including new upholstery and trim, and the optional heated front seats now have two heat levels. The thin card-shaped remote control has been replaced by a more conventional key fob for use with the Grand Touring's keyless entry and start features. The optional backup camera has a wider angle to improve the rear view. Exterior The CX-9 has sleeker lines and a sportier look than most crossovers, especially large, three-row ones. The most noticeable changes compared with the 2009 model are the smiling grille and the shape of the taillights, both of which follow the lead established by other redesigned 2010 Mazdas, such as the Mazda3. The standard 18- and optional 20-inch wheels have been redesigned.
The second row's backrest can recline or fold flat, and the seat can slide fore and aft to optimize legroom and cargo space. There's room for two in the 50/50-split third-row seat, which also can fold flat.
The CX-9 features a 273-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 with 270 pounds-feet of torque. Front- and all-wheel drive are offered.
