Mazda will make a new 7-seat SUV model this year to benchmark the Highlander, which is the new generation Mazda CX-9. We are no stranger to this car. Previously FAW Mazda was introduced as an importer, but sales were not satisfactory. Last year, FAW Mazda said that the CX-9 will be localized in 2018, and the power will be equipped with Mazda's new 2.5T power. Some time ago, the corner master North American counterparts got the test drive of the new generation CX-9 and carried out a long test on it. Since the article was divided into many articles, the corner masters brought them together to see the overseas media people. What is the review of this car? It can be regarded as a reference for the future localization.
The size of the new generation CX-9 is not small, the new car has a length and height of 5069*1936*1728mm, the wheelbase is 2930mm, and the length is longer than the way. The layout of the 7 seats can be said that the new CX-9 will be directly after the domestic production. Competitors are very strong, the first one is the Toyota Highlander. The US Mazda CX-9 starts at $32,908, or about RMB 208,700. It can be said that the price advantage is very obvious in North America. The new CX-9 is the most powerful power system. It is equipped with Mazda's newly developed 2.5T power. After playing for a long time, it has finally touched the turbo. This power has a maximum horsepower of 250 horsepower and a maximum of 420 Nm. It matches Mazda's own 6AT gearbox, with a low front and a four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive version in North America is priced at $42,000.
Most of the new cars sold in North America are relatively embarrassing in configuration, so there are many options for consumers to choose. In the picture, this one is worth $1,745 (about RMB 11,000). What can I buy for 11,000? 12-channel BOSE sound, car navigation, panoramic sunroof, automatic headlights, automatic wiper, LED fog light, private glass, parking radar. In addition, a roof rack is also an option and the price is $450. After getting a test drive, the little friend drove more than 350 miles along the US Interstate Highway, approaching the 560-kilometer journey, allowing him to fully experience the driving feeling of the new CX-9. First of all, I have to admit that the comfort of the seats in the new models has been greatly improved, and the NVH of the whole vehicle has also improved. After the 560-kilometer mileage is down, the data obtained after the comprehensive fuel consumption conversion is almost 12.2L/100km.
Next, let's talk about the Mazda Cars i-Activ four-wheel drive system. This system is also equipped on the current new CX-5. The i-ACTIV AWD accurately senses the driver's intentions, road conditions, and driving conditions through various sensors. The necessary rear wheel torque, so as to convey the optimal driving force to the rear wheel, effectively preventing the wheel from slipping forward and backward in the left and right direction, achieving stable starting, acceleration, turning and braking of the vehicle. On a dry road that is not easy to slip, the suppression system transmits unnecessary rear wheel torque and basically maintains 2WD state driving, thereby improving fuel economy. In fact, this is an official description of the system, but the actual driving is obviously not the experience. In the case of the dry road surface, the rapid acceleration experience 420 Nm of torque, the four-wheel drive system can not output part of the engine torque to the front wheel. At this time, the whole car will have a torque steering phenomenon, and the driver needs to use the steering wheel. To overcome, the experience is actually not good.
In addition, the headlights of the new CX-9 are not particularly friendly when used, not to say that the brightness is not enough, but a high design problem. In the headlight assembly, the distance of the low beam illumination is not enough. Although it is not obvious in the urban road, the high-speed road with no lights has to switch the high beam frequently to increase the illumination range. Said in the end: the above is the long-term report of the overseas media people on the new CX-9, the driving quality has improved, 2.5T is also good for fuel economy control, the power has something to watch, is the four-wheel drive system and the headlight height The problem is not very satisfactory. In 2018, the new generation of CX-9 will be made in China. Compared with the price of Highlander, the domestic CX-9 is set at around 220,000 yuan. In addition, regarding the driving quality, it is possible that the domestically produced models will be re-set according to domestic roads, and whether it is consistent with the overseas version is worth looking forward to.
