2019 Mazda CX-9 Azami TC

2019 Mazda CX-9 Azami.

The Mazda CX-9 Azami is a large, premium-oriented SUV that combines genuine seven-seat practicality with the composed road manners and polished presentation expected of a higher-grade family vehicle. Finished in Snowflake White Pearl, this 2019 example has travelled 162,710km and uses Mazda's turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 170kW and 420Nm. That output is matched to a six-speed SKYACTIV-Drive sports automatic transmission and an i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive system with 4X4 on-demand operation.

The CX-9's strongest quality is the way it balances passenger space with a more refined cabin environment. Seven seats make it useful when carrying a larger group, while the second row slides, reclines and folds to help adjust the cabin around passengers or cargo. The third row also folds flat, giving the rear compartment greater flexibility when all seven seats are not required. This makes the vehicle adaptable for school runs, longer trips and everyday load-carrying without reducing it to a purely utilitarian experience.

Azami equipment adds a strong emphasis on comfort and convenience. Leather-appointed seating, heated front seats, ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats help make the cabin more accommodating across changing conditions. The driver's electric seat includes memory settings, while a heated steering wheel, multi-zone climate control and an electric sunroof contribute to a more considered travelling environment. A power tailgate is a practical touch when loading shopping, luggage or other bulky items.

Technology is well represented, with satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto providing familiar ways to access maps, media and phone functions. The premium sound system includes 12 speakers and is complemented by DAB+ digital radio. A head-up display helps place key driving information within the driver's view, while keyless entry and push-button starting reduce the effort involved in regular use.

The turbocharged engine and all-wheel-drive system give the CX-9 useful flexibility beyond urban driving. Its listed 2,000kg braked towing capacity and 575kg payload support practical hauling duties, while the 74-litre fuel tank suits longer-distance travel. The advertised combined fuel consumption is 8L/100km. The six-speed automatic transmission is designed for straightforward operation, with the vehicle's torque output providing a substantial reserve for carrying passengers or equipment.

Safety and driver assistance features include a five-star ANCAP safety rating, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, active lane keeping assistance, adaptive distance cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic warning. Front and rear parking sensors work with front, rear and side vision cameras to improve awareness when manoeuvring. LED headlights, automatic high-beam operation, rain-sensing wipers and driver attention monitoring further support visibility and everyday driving confidence.
