Now entering its seventh year in showrooms, the 2013 Mazda CX-9 global debuts for the L.A. auto show that runs for the public from November 30 to December 9, 2012.
For 2013 - which we first saw at last month's Sydney Motor Show, the biggest member of the Mazda lineup taking nearly identical design cues from the TAKERI Concept and "Soul of Motion" design language.
"It's definitely an exciting time for the Zoom-Zoom brand," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO.
The 2013 Mazda CX-9 borrows its restyled grille and front-end design from Mazda's CX-5 compact crossover. Inside, the cabin is the automaker's next-generation infotainment, a 5.8-inch color multi-information touch screen display and a speech-recognition (HMI).
The 2013 CX-9 is powered by a turbocharged SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter diesel engine, capable of hitting 24 mpg on the highway.
The 2013 Mazda CX-9 is in showrooms today with a base price of $29,785, while both the 2014 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6 will go on sale in January 2013.
