Mazda CX-9 Comparison

Mazda's largest SUV may be on its farewell tour, but even the base CX-9 has plenty to offer to Aussie families wanting bang for buck.

There's a more luxurious, expensive SUV coming to Mazda showrooms in the form of the CX-90, but the ageing CX-9 still has plenty to offer.

The flagship Japanese large SUV offers a premium spin on mainstream family hauling, even in the new ‘blackened’ GT SP mid-ranger.

The 2021 Mazda CX-9 100th Anniversary Edition is a handsome, unique take on what was already an excellent family SUV.

Mazda is giving us a taste of how the other half live with the CX-9 Azami LE. From the executive seating to the high-end materials, it's pretty darn plush.

It might be showing its age in some respects but the Mazda CX-9 remains an elegant, refined, plus-size SUV with a splendid powertrain.

What better way to test the CX-9's credentials than with a five-hour road trip involving homewares, my mother, my girlfriend, and some very mild off-roading?

A punchy petrol engine, plenty of space, and a lovely upmarket interior. What's not to like?
