The Mazda CX-9 is the brand's flagship three-row midsize crossover SUV, able to meet the practical needs of a family while still appealing to owner's sense of style and driving enjoyment. The 2021 CX-9 received upgrades to its technology and styling.

I fell in love with the Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD last year, so I was thrilled to see the upgrades in the 2021 model. See 2020’s review here:

The 2021 CX-9's sleek design is matched by its responsive performance. This means you’ll be arriving in style after an invigorating journey. Since I was headed to Jekyll Island, Ga. - which in the late 1800s, became an exclusive hunting club for families with names like Rockefeller, Morgan, Vanderbilt, Pulitzer, and Baker – style and comfort were paramount. Hello, Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD in Machine Gray Metallic! By the way, the once private retreat is now part of The Jekyll Island Club National Historic Landmark District, one of the largest preservation projects in the southeast.

The Skyactiv-G 2.5 Turbo engine equipped on all CX-9 models delivers a robust 320 lb-ft of torque and 250 horsepower on premium (93 octane) gasoline or 310 lb-ft of torque and 227 horsepower on regular (87 octane) gasoline. The turbocharged engine is paired with a quick-shifting, six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission and has standard G-Vectoring Control Plus. I LOVED Mazda's predictive i-Activ all-wheel drive with off-road traction assist, which is standard in CX-9 Signature, and is available on all other trim levels.

In the upper most trim level, the CX-9 Signature offers all of the appealing driving dynamics with standard i-Activ all-wheel drive while not compromising on design. New titanium gray metallic finish front grille design is a stunning first impression, especially with the LED grille accent lighting. New design 20-inch brilliant silver finish aluminum alloy wheels and larger dual tailpipes round out the elegant and exciting styling. The well-appointed interior styling has been upgraded with new quilting and piping on the first and second-row seats and patterned aluminum on the dash, door panels and handle bezels. Combined with second-row captain's chairs with center console that provide a first-class experience much like the first row with armrest storage compartment, heated seat buttons and cupholders, Nappa leather seats, Santos Rosewood interior trim and unique steering wheel stitching, the CX-9 Signature provides an executive feeling for all occupants.
