THE MISSISSAUGA NEWS Mazda exhibits their all new CX-9 at New York auto show

The Mississauga News May 10, 2006

Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that it will showcase the new Mazda CX-9 seven-passenger crossover sport-utility vehicle (SUV) at the New York International Auto Show to be held from Wednesday, April 12 to Sunday, April 23, 2006. As a larger sibling to the Mazda CX-7 crossover, unveiled earlier this year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the Mazda CX-9 is the second vehicle designed and engineered specifically for the North American market.

 

Also featured on the Mazda stand will be the new high-performance Mazda3 model, called MAZDASPEED3 (North American specifications), together with newly upgraded versions of the highly popular Mazda3 range.

 

The seven-passenger Mazda CX-9 is a clean break from the traditional boxy SUVs crowding the market. Engineered with Mazda's "Soul of a Sportscar" signature, Mazda CX-9 deftly blends a sporty driving spirit with seven-passenger practicality.

 

The Mazda CX-9 provides unique Mazda design and energetic performance as well as an up-market interior with class-leading space and unmatched versatility.

 

A new MZI 3.5-litre V6 engine driven through a standard six-speed automatic transmission powers Mazda CX-9. Final drive is through either front- or all-wheel drive.

 

The Mazda CX-9 will be produced at the Ujina No. 1 Plant located near Mazda's headquarters in Hiroshima, Japan and is expected in Canadian showrooms in December this year.
