Mazda CX-9 FAQs

• Is the Mazda CX-9 a good car?

  The Mazda CX-9 has been the Japanese brand's flagship SUV for some time now, yet it is still one of the best-looking seven-seaters out there. It's also more than just a pretty face and feels better to drive than any other large SUV near its price. Courtesy of its sporty dynamic you have a smooth ride and an SUV that handles with finesse. Not short on space, the kids will have plenty of room in the rear rows, while the amenity on level is impressive enough to satisfy a growing family's needs. The Mazda CX-9 is an appealing proposition and should be high on your shortlist.

• Does the Mazda CX-9 hold its value?

  All vehicles are subject to depreciation, however, for its size, the Mazda CX-9 holds its value far better than many other makes and models across the market. After three years you can expect the Mazda CX-9 to be worth approximately 65% of its original purchase price, albeit depreciation tends to pick up over the next few years thereafter. Be sure to look after yours and you may well recoup a higher price down the track.

• What should I pay for a Mazda CX-9?

  In terms of the manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, you can expect the Mazda CX-9 to range between $45,920 for the basic trim level CX-9 Sport (FWD), all the way up to $73,875, which is for the series-topping CX-9 Azami (AWD) LE. Naturally, you'll also have to pay for other costs to get your car on the road, but as a starting point, you should be looking to negotiate that retail price lower.
