Mazda 2008 CX-9, Brochure & Specs

Page: 11 / 15

ADD “FUN-TO-DRIVE” TO YOUR NEW CROSSOVER VOCABULARY.
While many seven-passenger SUVs have about as much grace and poise as a delivery truck, the Mazda CX-9’s fun-to-drive ride dynamics are
a welcome departure. It simply doesn’t feel like a “big” SUV. Instead, the CX-9 is surprisingly responsive and agile. Benefiting from a precise,
power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system with engine-speed-sensing variable assist. Plus a refined 4-wheel independent suspension
system. Up front, MacPherson struts promote ideal tire-to-road contact. In back, a sophisticated multilink system helps ensure accurate wheel
placement and surefooted handling. And at both ends, substantial stabilizer bars help minimize body roll. Factor into the equation Mazda’s
suspension-tuning expertise, and you get a Crossover SUV unlike anything else on the road. With responsive, well-disciplined road manners.
An exceptionally stable, comfortable ride. And consistently rewarding handling—in a crowded parking lot or on the open highway.
