ED TO EXCEED EXPECTA
Thanks to its perfectly matched V6 engine and 6-speed Sport AT automatic transmission, the Mazda CX-9 represents a more intelligent approach to the
typical SUV power trip. One that combines exhilarating performance with social responsibility. One that provides a well-balanced combination of responsive
power, smooth performance and precise control—with an estimated 22 mpg* (FWD) on the highway. To accomplish all this, the CX-9's highly advanced
powertrain relies upon a 273-hp all-aluminum 3.7-liter DOHC V6 that boasts 24 valves, variable valve timing, electronic throttle control and a robust

A A ONS.
Six-Speed Sport AT Automatic Transmission. Standard on all CX-9s. Its
advanced design combines all the convenience of a smooth-shifting automatic
with the extra control—and fun—of a manual-shift mode.
270 lb-ft of torque @ 4250 rpm. And to promote optimum efficiency and driver control, the CX-9 also serves up a sophisticated 6-speed Sport AT automatic
transmission with the added advantages and fun of a manual-shift mode. Completing the picture is Mazda's available Active Torque Split AWD system.
Computer-controlled, it instantly reacts to changing road and weather conditions. Distributing just the right amount of power to both front and rear wheels
to enhance traction and vehicle control. Only Mazda could engineer such an ingenious way to Crossover to a seven-passenger SUV that's more breath-
taking, more accommodating, more exhilarating and, ultimately, more you. Finally, what you need is exactly what you want. It's the Zoom-Zoom Way.
* This estimate reflects new EPA methods beginning with 2008 model. For more information on new mpg ratings, please see www.fueleconomy.gov.
Variable Valve Timing. Standard on all CX-9s. An integral part of the CX-9's
3.7-liter V6, variable valve timing maximizes low-end torque and high-rpm power
for more responsive, fuel-efficient performance.
Active Torque Split All-Wheel Drive. Available on all CX-9s. Mazda's
computer-controlled all-wheel-drive system continuously monitors wheel speed
and engine data in order to respond to changes in road conditions and weather—
and maintain an ideal balance of front/rear torque between 100:0 and 50:50.
