The Mazda CX-9 is the automaker’s full-size crossover SUV, a 7-passenger model now in its fourth year of production. It shares an engine (and platform) with the Ford Edge.

The Touring trim includes leather upholstery with heated front seats, as well as heated mirrors. The Grand Touring trim has 20-inch wheels, keyless ignition, keyless entry, many interior upgrades, Xenon headlights, and fog lights. Sliding second-row seats and fold-down third-row seats are standard on all CX-9 trims for 2010. Both the second- and third-row seats can fold flat, resulting in a maximum of 101 cubic feet of cargo space, according to Mazda. Maximum towing capacity for the CX-9 is 3500 pounds.
The standard power plant in the 2010 Mazda CX-9 is a 273-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 engine, coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control.

Active head restraints are newly standard. A rearview camera is optional on the Touring and Grand Touring trims, and the Grand Touring trim features a blind-spot warning system. In government crash tests, the NHTSA gave the 2010 Mazda CX-9 five stars (out of five) in its front-impact crash tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the CX-9 “Good” ratings in its frontal-offset, side-impact, and rear–impact crash tests.
