Car Profiles - Mazda CX-9

MAZDA CX-9

Still running strong despite the onslaught of fresh competitors, the CX-9 now receives the Kodo touch. Powered through a Ford based engine which is fuel thirsty, base 2WD is basic enough but price is acceptable.

The Good: A delight to drive
The Bad: Poor fuel consumption

Price Range: P1,998,000-P2,399,000
