The new CX-9 AWD Exclusive, which sits at the top of the 2022 CX9 lineup, exudes a whole new level of elegance and sophistication.
With its exceptional handling and traction, the CX-9 AWD Exclusive reaches new heights in on-road and off-road safety. This is also made possible by the Mazda i-Activ all-wheel drive system, which is now enhanced by off-road traction assistance.

Inside, the CX-9 AWD Exclusive has three rows of Nappa Oriental Brown leather seats for seven adult passengers. For more comfort, the driver and front passenger seats are ventilated.
