Mazda announced package information and pricing for its 2023-MY three-row midsize crossover SUV, the CX-9.
A Sport model was not included in the lineup announcement for 2023, which was its lowest-priced model in 2022. The base Touring model's MSRP comes in $1,320 above the 2022 price.
The vehicle will continue to feature standard i-Activ AWD, enhancing driving dynamics, handling, and vehicle control, Mazda said. Additionally, the CX-9 is one of the first vehicles in its class to earn a Good rating in IIHS's new, tougher side impact test. The design and safety features that contributed to these results have been carried over to the 2023 model year as standard features.
