The award-winning 2008 Mazda CX-9 full-size crossover utility vehicle is perhaps the sportiest, most fun-to-drive crossover in its class. With sharp handling, abundant power, and available all-wheel drive, the CX-9 is more than capable of handling the city streets in any kind of weather. New additions for this year include a larger V6 engine and blind-spot monitoring system.

The CX-9 is available in three trim levels with either standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive for optimum handling in a variety of road and weather conditions. The all-new 3.7 liter V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing produces 273 horsepower and a wealth of torque for excellent off-the-line acceleration and good towing power. The standard 6-speed automatic transmission with sport shift offers manumatic shifting ability for quick gear changes. With the available Towing Package, the CX-9 can tow up to 3.500 lbs.

Standard four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with an Anti-lock Braking System and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution offer excellent stopping power and help to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking. The available Xenon High-Intensity Discharge headlamps offer excellent visibility and nighttime illumination. Dynamic Stability Control and Traction Control offer enhanced stability during evasive maneuvers and minimize wheelspin on slick roads. Roll Stability Control helps to keep the vehicle secure if an imminent rollover is detected. Standard advanced dual front airbags with front side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags with rollover protection for all three rows offers excellent passenger protection in a collision. The new Blind Spot Monitoring system uses sensors in the rear bumper to detect objects on the side and behind the vehicle.

As one of the only midsize crossover vehicles with 7-passenger seating capacity, the CX-9 offers excellent interior space. An available DVD navigation system with voice command and touch screen provides real-time directions, mapping, and control of audio and climate functions. Available Bluetooth® allows hands-free operation of your cell phone. Three-zone climate control offers comfort for all three rows of passengers. An optional power-sliding glass moonroof with sunshade and wind deflector offers open-air enjoyment and a great view outside cabin. The available Rear Seat Entertainment System includes a 9” DVD screen with surround sound, while the optional Bose® Centerpoint® stereo system offers 11 speakers and a 6-CD changer with MP3 capability for supreme sound quality.

The 2008 Mazda CX-9 is not just a good looker, it’s also one of the most powerful, capable, and utilitarian midsize crossovers available.
