We do not simply exist to make cars. We strive to achieve something more. To inspire you
every day through exhilarating experiences that help you feel more focused, more connected.
And more alive.
This is what drives us to push boundaries and defy convention, every day. It’s why we refined
the rotary engine in 1967, resurrected the roadster in 1989, and reimagined how an automobile
is developed, piece by piece, in 2006. Instead of simply redesigning a car, we started from a
blank sheet of paper and built the ideal vehicle around how it would make you feel.
Today, we stand more focused than ever. Creating breathtaking designs and revolutionary
technologies like SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY and i-ACTIV AWD.® Built to forge an even
deeper connection between you and your Mazda. An emotional bond, formed at first
glance and reinforced every time you get behind the wheel. To us, this bond is everything.
And it inspires us to design better, innovate more and make each Mazda smarter and safer
than what came before. All to make everything about driving even better. Including you.
Mazda shares a special history and spirit with Hiroshima, Japan. As the birthplace
of Mazda, Hiroshima constantly inspires us to rise above any challenge, pushing us
to achieve more than anyone could have imagined. We have developed innovations
that others deemed impossible, from the rotary engine to SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY
and beyond. Most of all, we have never strayed from our belief in the power of
human potential. Giving all of ourselves, using our hands to craft and create things that
matter, that have soul, that transfer our energy to you. To heighten your state of being.
MAZDA CX9
Above all, driving should unite us with the road and bring us together with
the people most important to us. The Mazda CX9 was created to do this through
dynamic performance, elegant design and spacious comfort. Thoughtfully
designed natural materials foster engagement in all three rows. Available LED
signature accent lighting in the grille and cabin awaken the senses, while the
responsive turbocharged engine delivers invigoration with every opportunity.
Created through ingenious engineering and exquisite craftsmanship, the CX9
is designed to impassion the driver. And everyone else on board.
Our design philosophy is simple yet highly challenging to accomplish: capture energy
in motion, even at a standstill. With curves and angles so striking they command your
attention through a mere glance. Exciting you by the anticipation of what’s to come.
Eliciting this kind of instant emotional response requires a human touch. Creating for
humans by humans. Hands on clay, shaping form with warmth and precision.
Eliminating all that is unnecessary, leaving only what is beautiful. Transferring the
energy of the maker into every nuance. We call this KODO “Soul of Motion” design.
A dynamic sense of motion that urges you to get behind the wheel to experience
the unique energy that can only come from a Mazda.
THE ESSENCE OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
For hundreds of years, knife making has been a revered art form in Japan. Embraced for
beauty as much as functionality, this legendary method of craftsmanship was the
inspiration for the aluminum trim in the Mazda CX9 Signature. A sweeping single
piece of aluminum adorns the dashboard, recalling the precision of a sharpened knife,
while satin and polished trim finishes also mirror the honed look of handmade blades.
Subtle yet dynamic details designed to inspire you.
