Posted by Mazda – Sales Promo & News on Friday, 13 May 2016

According to a posting on the ‘Mazda – Sales Promo & News’ Facebook page, the all-new Mazda CX-9 SkyActiv-G 2.5T looks set to arrive in Malaysia soon. How soon? Well that wasn’t disclosed in the posting, although the seven-seater SUV’s recent arrival in Australia could be an indicator.

Nonetheless, we ringed up said dealer to get a bit more info, and we’ve been told that the second-generation CX-9 is set to make its Malaysian debut in the fourth quarter of 2016, which is any of the following three months – October, November or December.

According to the same dealer, bookings for the CX-9 is apparently open, although barring any official word from Mazda Malaysia or Bermaz, we’ll notch this up as “unofficial” for now. As for specifications, no specifics have been given on the equipment that the CX-9 will receive.

Currently, the first-gen CX-9 that is still on sale is offered in a sole variant only, and according to the dealer, this will be the same for the second-gen model. A vague “high range” was used to describe the only variant. Estimated pricing provided meanwhile, is within the RM230,000 to RM250,000 mark, a discount from the first-gen CX-9 you can currently buy – RM288,380.91 (on-the-road without insurance).

With these preliminary (although not official) details being revealed about the upcoming Mazda CX-9, will you be looking forward to the arrival of the seven-seater SUV? Expect it to be imported directly from Mazda’s production base in Hiroshima, which also supplies the model to the Australian market.

Comments

  • AI-generated Summary ✨

    Comments largely agree that the Mazda CX-9 SkyActiv-G 2.5T is a promising, competitively priced 7-seater SUV, with many expecting it around RM250k due to CBU status and turbo engine. Enthusiasm is high, praising its design, interior quality, and value, though some express doubts about the price possibly exceeding RM250k. Several commenters suggest it will attract families and those seeking luxury without the higher costs of GLC or XC90, and praise Mazda's reputation for reliability and driving pleasure.

  • Very worth for the price, if it stays that way

    RM230 -250K not exactly cheap but better than re-cond Harrier going for 220k onwards for 2015/2016. Better buy new n bigger plus CX-9 really looks good …let’s wait n see

      The CX9 was never meant to face the that category, it always sat in the 300k region being premium Japanese 7 Seater SUV along side Lexus and Infinity. Bringing it down will definitely draw attention to those who want a premium 7 Seater SUV but not willing to fork out the money for an XC90 or BMW X5

    pricing seems abit fishy…specially if its CBU…i honeslty thought is very close to 300k judging by the last cx9…but its a pleasant surprise if its really around 250k..

    • Maybe the tax impose to this car is lower due to the smaller engine compare to the current CX-9. And do this new CX-9 entitle for the EEV status?

      • apamau on May 17, 2016 at 5:12 pm

        Ya, i suspect it could be fall into EEV, with tax incentive that make the price drop. such a big car with 2.5, like the volvo with 2.0 which is also entitle for EEV.

    Overpriced. Aussie and Japan selling from RM130-160k. But comes here RM250k+++. You have to thank that Proton creator for making car prices soar high high. You lay 100k extra to get the same thing when 95% of other countries are laying 100k cheaper. Thanks to Proton you can buy this for only RM258k

    If below RM250k, then a lot of cars around this range are sweating, as it give a good price / package proposition, than includes, like some mentioned about, recond car and MPV.. especially when use as family car. Let’s see if this news is real.

    Cold shoulder response from consumers forces mazda to price cx9 from 290k to 250k. Mazda has learned a good lesson, others will follow suit. Hold your fire fellow potential buyers, more good news is coming.

    OMG that interior quality, oozing QUALITY and elegant design!

    Mazda’s Kodo concept, has a different feel in this CX-9. It looks humble, yet mighty from deep within. Very low profile design. Really alluring.

    Mazda Malaysia had a huge hit with the CX-5, at least in the urban areas. It had the right blend of features, drivability, fuel savings, safety kit and pricing, beating out the equivalent CUV in the segment.

    Unfortunately it hasn’t been able to replicate it with the Mazda 3 in the C-segment, or the Mazda 2 in the B-segment despite being very competitive in pricing for both.

    I sure hope they succeed in the premium 7-seater segment, I for one wouldn’t mind replacing my current Santa Fe with a more upmarket 7-seater when the time comes.

    232,888 for 2WD, and 262,888 for 4WD will be reasonable to attract buyers.
    At around 300k, there are just too many good luxurious choices, GLC being the best. Mark my words, once you drive CX-9 for 3 years (after paying 300k), you will regret for not purchasing GLC/X3, if you have zero luxurious brands in your garage (unless you have a family with 7 members).
    Make yourself a list of 250k vehicles and study them properly if this is your first ‘luxury’ purchase. Test drive all of them.
    For those who can cough out a bit more, wait till next year, and make your choice.

      I guess the intended audience won’t be GLC or people with luxurious brand in mind, as this is big car, is for those who wanna fetch more people when traveling. GLC is still a 5 seaters. Maybe able to switch some of those Estima/Alphard buyers and also those looking for 7 seater SUV.

      CX-9 competitor is not the GLC, X3 or Q5, it is the GLE/X5/Q7 that are way above 400k mark.

      For 300k mark, there is no other choice better than the NX200t

      It’s turbocharged engine. Should suffice to most people out there. Agreed if NA engine, the car will struggle to move due to hefty weight.

    I kinda doubt it will be less than RM250k. Considering its CBU and has a turbo engine. More like RM280k, which is slightly less than the current CX9. Anyways, this will be one hot SUV.
