Mazda will unveil its 2007 CX-9 seven-passenger crossover sport-utility vehicle (SUV) at next week’s New York International motor show.


Arriving at dealerships in early 2007, the CX-9 is designed and engineered specifically for North America but is built in Japan. It appears to be a seven-seat, V6-powered derivative of the CX-7 – a five-seater with turbocharged 2.3-litre I4 engine – launched at the LA motor show at the beginning of the year.


The CX-9 has a new 3.5-litre V6 engine and standard six-speed automatic transmission with front- or all-wheel drive. Brakes are large ventilated discs on all four wheels.


Standard features will include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks with remote keyless entry, cruise control, and six airbags. All CX-9s will also have dynamic stability control, roll stability control and anti-lock brakes.


A power-operated tailgate will be optional.
