Mazda Australia has advised of a series of worthwhile technical, infotainment and styling updates to its CX-9 large SUV.

A hands-free tailgate using a simple kick gesture will make life simpler if you have a load in your hands.

Mazda CX-9’s centre infotainment screen has been enlarged to nine inches. The addition of USB ports further improves third-row functionality.

Third row access has been made safer and easier with the implementation of a switch that tilts the seat forward on the side of the seat cushion where third row passenger can easily reach it.

Mazda CX-9 Azami will replace Azami LE at the top end. The update sees Azami receive a higher-quality feel to its Nappa leather seating. It’s offered in Walnut Brown and Pure White.

Exterior changes include a dark 20-inch wheel finish and a new bright 18-inch wheel finish.

In line with updates across the Mazda range, the 2020 CX-9 also has a new key fob design and updated vehicle badging.

On the driving and safety fronts, the CX-9 now has G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus). This uses brake control to help stabilise and return the vehicle to straight-line running when coming out of a turn. The all-wheel-drive system has Mazda’s Off-Road Traction Assist, which makes driving easier on undulating roads, preventing tyre slip.

The automatic braking system can detect pedestrians in the dark.

All models add the convenience of Auto-hold in the Electric Parking Brake, which holds the vehicle stopped, even if you’ve taken your foot off the brake.
