We spend a lot of time talking about what’s under the hood of the vehicles here at our Virginia Beach, VA Mazda dealership. But while it’s those under-the-hood components that determine what your car is capable of, it’s the interior where you’ll be spending your time. With countless hours and miles to look forward to behind the wheel of your vehicle, you’ll be glad to know that the 2017 Mazda CX-9 earned a spot on the 2017 Wards 10 Best Interiors list.

 

Julien Montousse, director of design, Mazda Design Americas personally led the design of the Mazda CX-9 model’s interior, so you can bet he was pretty thrilled by the news: “We designed Mazda CX-9’s interior from the onset with a concept of ‘Smart Indulgence,’ recognizing that there’s a balance between needs and wants. Our goal was to maximize both functionality for families and opulence for couples looking for a getaway. We’re thankful that WardsAuto recognized [Mazda] CX-9 as a ’10 Best Interiors’ winner.”

 

Available for the first time in the 2016 Mazda CX-9 and offered again in the 2017 Mazda CX-9 is the top-tier Signature trim level. Drivers who opt for the Mazda CX-9 Signature are treated to LED interior accent lighting, Auburn Nappa leather seating surfaces, and our personal favorite: trim composed of rosewood sourced from premium guitar-maker Fujigen and aluminum.

 

The result is something truly unique and luxurious, and drivers have certainly taken notice. While most crossover SUVs like the Mazda CX-9 see the bulk of their sales in the mid-tier trim levels, Mazda CX-9 drivers more often opt for the higher Grand Touring and Signature models. These models have caused a lot of drivers to make the jump to Mazda from more traditional “luxury” brands. WardsAuto Senior Editor Tom Murphy isn’t surprised: “Our Signature test model arrived fully loaded with the beautiful rosewood and aluminum trim, rich two-tone leather and all the creature comforts we could want.”
