2022 Mazda CX-9 Azami TC

The 2022 Mazda CX-9 Azami TC is a large, well-appointed SUV that combines seven-seat practicality with a more refined and richly equipped cabin than its size might initially suggest. With 42,893km recorded, this used example is powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 420Nm of torque and paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Its 4X4 On Demand system adds all-weather versatility while retaining the composed road manners expected of a family-oriented touring vehicle.

Space is one of the CX-9’s defining strengths. The three-row layout provides seating for seven, with the second row offering slide adjustment, reclining functionality and a split-fold design to help balance passenger comfort with cargo flexibility. The third row can be folded when it is not required, making the cabin adaptable for everyday errands, luggage or larger loads. Rear air conditioning and multiple storage areas further support the vehicle’s long-distance and multi-passenger role.

The Azami grade gives the interior a distinctly upmarket character. Nappa leather seating, heated front and second-row seats, ventilated front seats and electric adjustment for both front occupants create a more comfortable environment across changing weather conditions. The driver’s seat includes memory functionality, while the heated steering wheel and head-up information display help keep key information and controls close to the driver’s natural field of vision.

Connectivity and convenience are also well covered. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide straightforward access to compatible smartphone functions, while Bluetooth, satellite navigation, digital radio and a premium 12-speaker sound system add useful flexibility for commuting or longer journeys. Wireless charging is available for compatible devices, and the electric sunroof brings additional light into the cabin. Keyless proximity access and push-button starting simplify day-to-day use, while the powered tailgate is useful when loading the rear of the vehicle with full hands.

Safety equipment is comprehensive, with a five-star ANCAP safety rating supported by front, side and curtain airbags, forward collision warning and collision mitigation, reversing collision mitigation, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic warning. Lane departure warning and active lane-keeping assistance help support the driver on longer trips, while front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and additional front and side vision cameras improve awareness around the vehicle. Adaptive cruise control, traffic-sign recognition, driver attention monitoring and pedestrian avoidance with braking add further layers of assistance.

Outside, 20-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, active cornering headlamps, a powered tailgate and folding heated exterior mirrors reinforce the CX-9’s premium positioning. The 74-litre fuel tank and quoted 9L/100km fuel consumption suit its role as a substantial petrol SUV, although actual consumption will vary with traffic, load and driving conditions. Overall, this CX-9 presents a broad blend of passenger capacity, comfort, technology and active safety, with the flexibility to operate as a daily family vehicle or a capable long-distance tourer.
