EXPERT RATING
7.9

The seven-seat Sport is the entry-level grade in the Mazda CX-9 range, with it sitting below the Touring and priced from $45,990 plus on-road costs with front-wheel drive, or $49,990 with all-wheel drive.

Standard equipment includes dusk-sensing LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, 18-inch alloy wheels, push-button start, a 7.0-inch central display, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, digital radio, a six-speaker sound system, a head-up display, three-zone climate control and black cloth upholstery.

ANCAP awarded the CX-9 its maximum five-star safety rating in 2016. Advanced driver-assist systems in the Sport extend to front and rear autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, traffic sign recognition, high-beam assist, driver attention alert, a reversing camera and rear parking sensors.

All grades are powered by a 2.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, which produces 170kW of power and 420Nm of torque. With a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission as standard, Mazda claims the CX-9 consumes 91 RON petrol at 8.4L/100km (FWD) or 9.0L/100km (AWD) during a combination of urban and highway driving.
