Is it really, разбирался портал NRC-drive.
Urgent update and bring to Ukraine a large flagship four-wheel drive crossover CX-9, Mazda decided after, how to understand - for such cars demand will continue to grow. And if you do not provide the desired Now, then later clients, including the current owners of Mazda, go to competitors. Now the rears are covered securely. True there were no import: Cobiralas CX-9 in the Japanese factory in Hiroshima and localized versions can not be expected. what, Unfortunately, It affects the price.
Japanese woman with the squint
Outwardly crossover Mazda CX-9 was very similar to the CX-5, but, respectively, very beautiful. He chiseled, like a samurai sword carved with a wave form of "person", which is especially noticeable in the profile. Elegant LED daytime running lights and driving lights, recognizable grille, stylish, but not flashy chrome design.
Of course, CX-9 is much greater: length on 535 mm exceeds the rate of CX-5 is 5 075 mm. width - 1 960 mm (+120 mm), and the wheelbase is 2 930 mm (+230 mm). In CX-9 three-row seats are default, which means you can carry just seven. Just say - expect miracles from the third row is not necessary.
In the seven-seat version of the 810-liter boot with the third row seats folded. possible to increase this volume if desired before 1 641 l, folded and the second row. The result is a lot of space for all possible situations: from urban travel, to quick march to the country for the harvest or to the supermarket for a washing machine or cabinet.
Under the hood in the trunk only dokatka. But not for the sake of economy, and for the use of space for a subwoofer - to such a practical solution has not even think out of the master auto sound competition.
The car's weight was reduced by 130 kg through the use of aluminum alloy. This uses 22 kg soundproofing materials.
To make life caught up in the CX-9, the most comfortable, to come up with a single philosophy Mazda. Do you want to open the door, so it is, that both handles are designed, to make the most comfortable lying in the palm of your hand, repeating its shape. A door way - not to have to reach too far.
Sits in a chair, and they have chosen the optimum angle for the position of the hip and shin, removal thereby load from the back and neck. It all seems pretty words, but in reality, true, convenient - and such, imperceptible at first glance solutions, in the cabin much.
Front bucket seat noticeably bow and back support. Tunnel, separating the driver and passenger, at first it seems quite broad and devour space. But get used to it, and soon he no longer perceived something alien.
On its sides arranged something like a soft cushion, which is actually very easy to use and protects the knees. The tunnel itself can distribute a bunch of little things, put a pair of glasses or avtokruzhek. Armrest - only for small gadgets, tablets there is no longer vlezut, but it has two ports: USB and SD-card under. The side of the passenger there is one more additional USB-socket, If you do not want to get into the armrest. Soup bigger you can try to fit in a glove compartment, although it is also very modest size.
central screen, crowning torpedo, in fact, with a "touchscreen", but only operates in this mode at speeds up to 7 km / h - at Mazda believe, that is safer. If you are traveling faster, then give the command to the buttons on the steering wheel or use the convenient washer-krutilki.
Interior design turned out very concise and restrained - the eyes of the abundance of the buttons do not run. At the same time there are all, that is necessary - it is such an impression, apparently, and sought unscrupulous Japanese.
Behind the second row of seats is very much like the feet, and the head. If passengers are very high, them the opportunity to come to the aid of additional seat adjustment - they recline slightly and immediately becomes more convenient. Knee passengers made unique niche in the front seats, thanks to which it is more convenient, you can fit the legs, and does not interfere vperedisidyaschim.

For the convenience offered the opportunity to choose the temperature and air flow direction by means of a separate climate unit for passengers.
Motor
only one is available for CX-9, 2,5-liter engine of the famous series Skyactiv power 231 hp, who in company with six-speed automatic and a very convenient, in sports tjazhelovatym wheel makes this a pretty big car light, dynamic and agile.
All proprietary techniques and the most "mazdovskoe" feeling behind the wheel managed to fully transfer to the large four-wheel drive crossover.
The engine is running without failure, him relaxed and confident you can go on overtaking, which are given in a very short time, that was especially true during a test drive in Georgia. When the transmission has a noticeable delay of about a second, that did not irritate, the main thing to get used to it. There is also a "sport" mode, which keeps the engine at high revs and makes the wheel just a little heavier. but I, generally, well enough, and the normal mode.
As for the silence, it is true - in the cabin is quiet, engine noise, wind and outside noise is minimized.
According to the changes, that caught the CX-9 can safely draw conclusions about, what silence is becoming a new fetish Mazda brand following the improvement of governance and efforts to persuade motorists to take a fresh look at their models. Only pulling in this regard CX-5, Japanese thoroughly undertook and CX-9. so much so, that he now considered to be the quietest car and Mazda after CX-5 is now ahead in this parameter, in particular such models, how Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q3 и BMW X3.
Here it is - a paradise for music lovers on wheels: music from 10 speakers sound very worthy.
But it is necessary to move down to the primer, both from the area of the second and third rows of seats are starting to be heard clearly otherworldly noises such as stones and other related sounds. what, certainly strange, because the picture changes too abruptly. Outside asphalt understand, this car, certainly not off-road - he has a pretty low clearance and thrust it into the gullies do not want. But over the potholes and dirt road through a good suspension setup in the car comfortably. Generally, nothing worse than a trip to the snow-covered cottage, this car is not waiting.
smart systems
