2013 Mazda CX-9 to Premiere at Australian International Motor Show

Mazda has announced that the all-new 2013 CX-9 SUV will be making its global debut at the upcoming 2012 Australian International Motor Show in October. The new top of the line SUV from Mazda is expected to hit the showrooms in Australia later this year with worldwide sales to follow not long after.

The design of the 2013 CX-9 follows the footstep of the new 2013 Mazda 6, adopting the “Kodo” design language which in Japanese means “Soul of Motion”, giving the new SUV a sportier and bolder look with more distinctive lines.

The new CX-9 will be powered by an updated 3.7 litre V6 petrol engine featuring Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology. The powerful V6 will be mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
