Test Drive Mazda CX-9 since 2007 SUV
Test Drive Mazda CX-9: Return
Five lengths of length, a seven-party salon, 277-strong V6, carrying the body a large crossover Mazda CX-9 returns to Russia.
The presentation, dedicated to the Second Coming of Mazda CX-9 in Russia, did not take place somewhere, but in the Turkish coast one of the most popular Olinklyus places for our compatriots. Despite the fact that the tourist season is not yet open, the sun is caking be healthy. In his rays, the ribbons of the sparkling CE-Iks ninth in Russian numbers causes live interests who are preparing for the tourist season. There are not many new machines here in principle, but you will not ours in the afternoon like our huge cross. 
No fundamental changes in the architecture and design of Mazda CX-9 did not happen, and the main innovation was the design, which now corresponds to the new Madov philosophy Kodo. In this key, two models are already drawn - the CX-5 crossover and the Mazda6 sedan. Like Honda Pilot and Hyundai IX55, Mazda CX-9 crossover selection of pragmatics. All these models were created for the American market, where the size really matters, and the figure, looming opposite the graf fuel consumption, goes to the background. In Russia, the fans of American mastodonts are more in the Favor of the Used Dodge Ram or Chevrolet Tahoe, and relatively recently sales of the new Ford Explorer started on the market, which is now a hundred percent road crossover, which means a direct competitor CX-9. 
Despite the fact that Mazda CX-9 was created for the American market, the front chairs are not unformed bedside beds, but quite comfortable seats with noticeable lateral support. In general, sentences mass, and the demand is small. Therefore, CX-9 was returned to Russia rather for the range yes to fill the empty niche formed after leaving the Mazda CX-7 scene. And yet, among the few offers of large seven-bed crossovers with a powerful Mazda CX-9 motor, it is a rather interesting proposal, especially since during the last update the crossover has noticeably looked and got a multitude of new options. Changes in design a little, but it was enough to end the CX-9 for a new Kodo style format. New headlights and lights, modified bumpers, radiator grille and wheels Now in the appearance of large Mazda, the overall traits with new Mazda6 and CX-5 are unmistakably captured. 
The design is passenger laconic, and the driver's seat turned into a real cockpit - you will never say that you are in the 5-meter Mahine. The door panel finish is made with leather inserts, the skin on the seats has splashes from suede. The interior was transformed and less: new decorative inserts, a slightly modified instrument panel, as well as a different leather decoration of the cabin with hinting to premium with suspicion, and another knobs of the automatic transmission. To be in the salon Mazda nice. Despite the abundance of hard plastic, the interior bribes quality, and the driver's seat is organized almost like in a dynamic Mazda6: the sensations that you are in a five-meter SUV, there is also a lot. The front armchairs are convenient and possess the side support that is not characteristic of this class, the diameter of the chubby steering wheel is small, and the landing itself is rather low. Outstanding size can only be guessing on a wide central tunnel and a massive front panel console. 
Rear is spacious, but there are no additional goods except for a separate climate control unit. Turn over the third row of seats is difficult, although it is possible to sit there quite worn. With all its fundamentalness that the Mazda CX-9 looks stylishly and bright looks from the inside. Collemented Asian fashion, which philosophically tuned Japanese called Kodo Soul Movement, fell nine by the way. The main makeup easily hides the huge size of the car, and this is one of the main differences of Mazda from other large crossovers. And taking into account the fact that the initially Mazda CX-9 was created for the unassuming American market, do not adhere to the quality of execution. 
Elements of Mazda - protracted straight. On the track, the crossover is stable and comfortable. The list of options appeared a mass of electronic assistants, including automatic control of distant light and the monitoring system of dead zones. On the second row expathed. Here will be comfortable even to three adult passengers. The sofa is regulated in the longitudinal direction, and on the central console, let him be simple, but still a separate climate installation unit. Those who have not grew up, will be able to enjoy and traveling to the third row, but a ungrateful deal to climb here. The volume of the trunk can only be envied. Even with the raised gallery there are 267 liters of space, well, while the rear row is at the disposal of the owner of the CX-9 already all 928 liters. If you drop both rows, then the CX-9 cargo compartment is able to accommodate 1.9 cubic meters! It is a pity that in the folded position of the chair of the middle row form an impressive step. 
The trunk is huge, side walls without protrusions. You can also find a small step that is formed if you fold the second row of seats. The trunk door is equipped with an electric drive. American roots CX-9 dictate and choose the power plant: no diesel engines, about the hood only a V-shaped gasoline engine. In the case of Mazda CX-9, there is a 3.7 liter gear with a capacity of 277 liters. with. and maximum torque 367 nm. The accompaniators to the engine prescribed a 6-speed automatic with the possibility of manual switching and the full drive system with an electronic clutch in the rear wheel drive. 
New optics with LED running lights, surviving plastic operation Bumper and modified grille of the new Mazda CX-9 radiator explicitly to the face. Successful design hides external dimensions. 20-inch discs and bi-xenon headlights are already offered in the database. Restriction of 90 km / h, hard fines and endless police patrols in the bushes: our 430 km route from Bodrum to Antalya The ideal road for Mazda CX-9. At the new roadway and cruising speed, the crossover floats not worse than the ocean liner, relaxing the passengers with the excellent smoothness of the stroke and silence in the cabin. At the same time, the suspension users were explicitly European patterns: the routing on the asphalt waves is minimal, and the cluster is noticeable to the nose only with sharp braking. 
Winding serpentines are clearly not Mazda CX-9, but among their competitors the Japanese has the most passenger controllability. Payable for it are excessive pendant attention even to small pits and uhabam. CX-9 is predictable well by the track and does not swim on a straight line. Of course, the responsiveness and sharpness of the ram of the 2.0-ton giant is far from the driver Mazda CX-7, but in its weight category the nine is good. As soon as the new asphalt is replaced by the excreted cracks and the roads are covered with the holes, passengers begged to shook, and the salon is filled with noise from 20-inch tires. What to do, such is a fee for a close to passenger controllability. 
Traditional set: Multimedia system, climate control, electrically regulating seats, rain and light sensors, invincible access system and many other options. All of this Mazda CX-9 has already in the basic configuration, and the advanced acoustic system Bose, hatch, navigation and a set of security systems are offered for surcharge. On the primer, there is a dense suspension and 20-inch wheels. The car is harsh and requires special attention to great pits and uhabam. Suggestions for serious off-road on Mazda is also better to avoid. This does not contribute to any clearance of 204 mm, nor impressive sinks, and the connected four-wheel drive here is rather for a more confident movement along the winter road. And why is it? After all, the CX-9 courtyards will cope with the courtyards in the courtyards, and this time is the main requirement from the crossover. 99% of modern owners of crossovers and SUVs This Offroad was seen only on TV! 
Behind the main difference from the previous model are new lights. 277-Strong six is \u200b\u200bnot bad. Mazda willingly tear off the place and will not leave the overtakers, so that with a mass correction and dimensions declared 10.1 seconds up to 100 km / h worth a good result. If you go calmly, then the 6-speed automatic makes smooth, timely switching and is reset to reduced on time. Rejoices a calm ride on the Mazda CX-9 and the driver's wallet. It is not inherited anywhere and the figure of an average flow on the onboard computer can easily lower up to 11 liters per 100 km. But as soon as the driver decided to arrange traffic lights or ride on the highway with a gay in the floor, it is necessary to prepare for a quick visit of refueling, because 76 liter tanks are hardly enough for 300 km. 
By the way, now Mazda CX-9 received all security systems available to new Mazda6 and CX-5. Among them are automatic long-term control, the control system control system, as well as monitoring blind zones. True, all this complex is available only for extra charge, and the base cost of CX-9 in Russia with good equipment is 1,919,000 rubles. If you add 50,000 rubles, BOSE navigation and acoustics appear in the list of options, and another 75,000 rubles will allow you to complete the crossover in the above security systems and an electric hatch.
