SKYACTIV‑VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G‑Vectoring Control
Embrace S Curves.
Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control (GVC) works behind the scenes to achieve a smoother, less fatiguing drive for you and your passengers by subtly adjusting engine torque, intentionally optimizing vehicle weight transfer during every day commutes and spirited drives alike. The result is steering that is more precise and a more comfortable ride. Winner of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) award for Best New Innovation Technology 2017.
More Confidence
Due to irregularities and undulations in the road surface, your vehicle does not always travel along the expected line, forcing you to make steering corrections. With GVC, your CX‑9 responds to driver inputs with fewer steering adjustments, so your vehicle behaves as you intend and you enjoy a more confident drive.
More Comfort
Fatigue steadily builds as you continue to make minor steering corrections. GVC helps alleviate these corrections, especially over long distances. Plus, smooth transitions between G-forces suppress head and body sway, allowing for a more comfortable ride for you and your passengers.
Enhanced Peace of Mind
GVC enhances handling, stability and the feeling of the tires gripping the road. You’ll gain an even greater feeling of control and security during evasive manoeuvres as well as in rain, snow and on poor road surfaces.
Design
Crafted to Make Driving Better.
The CX-9 with Kodo “Soul of Motion” Design is handcrafted with the available brushed aluminum and Santos Rosewood trim. Before we moulded a single sheet of metal, every line of the exterior was hand sculpted in clay by our designers to ensure that you experience driving exhilaration even before you get behind the wheel.
Ventilated Front Seats
New
Standard on the GT and Signature models, the new ventilated front seat system draws air through ventilation ports in the seats, drawing hot and humid air away from areas where the seat comes into contact with your body – and delivering a more comfortable driving environment.
New Design Enhancements
From improvements to ride quietness with strategically placed sound absorbers and an available black roof liner‡‡ that enhances the interior design aesthetic, to 20-inch light grey high-lustre alloy wheels now available on the GS-L, the attention to detail in the CX-9 exudes quality and craftsmanship.

i-ACTIV AWD
27 Sensors Monitor Your Drive 200 Times per Second.
Our available, predictive i-Activ All-Wheel Drive** technology uses 27 sensors to monitor and forecast operating conditions and give you a more confident drive. Something as simple as switching on your windshield wipers is taken into account to automatically deliver the right amount of traction when you need it. New for 2019, all models equipped with AWD also include a full array of i-Activsense features (formerly the i-Activsense Package).
Essentially Predictive
i-Activ AWD monitors driving conditions 200 times per second – everything from steering angle and windshield wiper use to exterior temperature and braking patterns helps predict driving conditions.
Ideally Responsive
A slight amount of torque is continuously transferred to the rear wheels to automatically deliver more traction at the precise moment it is needed.
Exceptionally Fuel Efficient
i‑Activ AWD is one reason the CX‑9 achieves outstanding fuel economy. By ensuring optimal distribution of torque and minimizing drivetrain energy loss, you’re only using fuel to power AWD when you need to.

At Mazda, Your Family’s Safety is Everything.
Safety
The 2019 CX-9 comes with a matrix of passive and active safety features to help keep you safe. We’ve taken into account the finer details, such as placing easy-to-read, uncluttered instrumentation within the driver’s sightlines. The available and standard suite of i-Activsense safety features uses the latest innovations such cameras and radar sensors to give you a better sense of your surroundings. Even the Skyactiv-Body and -Chassis use ultra-high-tensile steel to help protect occupants in case of an accident.
360° View Monitor
New
Using four cameras on the front sides and rear, and eight parking sensors, the 360° View Monitor‡‡ generates a surround view of the CX-9 displayed on the Mazda Connect touchscreen: Top View, Side View and Front Wide View and Rear View modes. An alarm sounds when near obstacles while driving at a low speed or while parking.
Front and Rear Parking Sensors
Front and rear parking sensors‡‡ use ultrasonic sensors to detect obstructions around the CX-9 while parking and notify the driver of their approximate distance from the vehicle using a beep sound. Just one more safety measure for added peace of mind.
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go function (MRCC with Stop & Go function)
This system** judges the relative speed and distance to the car ahead, right down to 0 km/hour, to maintain a safe following distance. And for enhanced safety, if the vehicle ahead stops, your vehicle will automatically stop and hold in a standing start until you resume the set speed. The system’s Close Proximity Warning provides audible and visual warnings when it senses your vehicle fast approaching the one ahead.
Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR)
The Traffic Sign Recognition system‡‡ uses cameras to read road signs such as speed limit, do not enter and stop signs♦♦. The Windshield-projected colour Active Driving Display shows this information so you can stay informed without taking your eyes off the road.
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)
SCBS detects objects ahead at speeds between 4–30 km/hour and prepares the vehicle by adjusting brake pads closer to the disc. If no driver action is taken, the system automatically applies the brakes. When paired with Smart Brake Support (SBS)**, the system can also detect pedestrians at speeds between 10 and 80 km/hr.
Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System (ABSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
The Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring System (ABSM) detects objects in your left and right blind spots and alerts you before a fast-approaching vehicle enters your blind spot. RCTA detects a vehicle approaching from the side when backing up.
Lane-keep Assist System (LAS)
Rather than keeping the CX‑9 centred between two lines, as some systems do, causing an unnatural “tug” on the steering wheel, LAS** takes driver intention into account, helping the CX‑9 ease into turns and lane changes.
Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS)
AFS‡‡ helps you see around corners at night. As you turn into a corner, the headlights pivot up to 15 degrees in the direction of your turn, improving visibility and allowing you to spot potential hazards and dangers ahead.
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)
The Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)** automatically senses lane markings on the road and alerts the driver when it predicts the vehicle is going to unintentionally depart from its lane.
High Beam Control System (HBC)
HBC** helps the driver see better at night by maximizing opportunities to use the high beams. The system automatically switches to low beams when it detects oncoming traffic and/or a vehicle ahead.
Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW)
The Forward Obstruction Warning (FOW)** system detects vehicles ahead and alerts the driver to an approaching risk of collision early enough for the driver to take evasive action.
Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)
At speeds above 30 km/hr, the Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)** measures the distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead and recommends a comfortable following distance.
Smart Brake Support (SBS)
Smart Brake Support (SBS)** can help avoid or reduce the severity of a collision at higher rates of speed (above 15 km/hour), like highway driving, by warning the driver that braking is immediately necessary and engaging brakes.
Pedestrian Detection
The CX-9 offers the available feature of Pedestrian Detection. When Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) is paired with Smart Brake Support (SBS)**, the system can also detect pedestrians at speeds between 10 and 80 km/hr.
Infotainment
Connect to the Road – and the World.
In designing the CX-9’s cockpit, we focused on technology that would enhance your driving experience. Our “heads-up” Active Driving Display‡‡ is a perfect example of this technology, projecting key safety and navigation information on the windshield, as well as the available 7-inch meter display‡‡, both helping you to stay informed without having to takes your eyes off the road ahead. You can even please the whole family with the available dual USB ports in the second row‡.
MAZDA CONNECT
Mazda Connect makes staying informed and entertained effortless. Features such as audio, hands-free phone, and available navigation are easily controlled using the convenient, multifunction HMI Commander control.
12-Speaker Premium Bose® Sound System‡‡
