At the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, Mazda revealed the second generation CX-9, nine years after the previous version launched. The 2016 Mazda CX-9 was brand new, based on the Skyactiv platform and engines that are shared with other new Mazdas introduced after 2011. Production started in February 2016.[3]

The second generation Mazda CX-9 uses a turbocharged version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv (Grades vary) gasoline engine, producing 227 hp (230 PS; 169 kW) on 87 AKI octane fuel (91 RON) and 250 hp (253 PS; 186 kW) on premium fuel and 420 N⋅m (43 kg⋅m; 310 lb⋅ft) of torque. The engine is joined with a six speed automatic transmission. The U.S. EPA rates the all-wheel drive 2016 Mazda CX-9 at 21 mpg‑US (25 mpg‑imp; 11 L/100 km) city and 26 mpg‑US (31 mpg‑imp; 9.0 L/100 km) highway.

The new exterior design follows Mazda's Kodo design philosophy. It is shorter than before, but rides on a longer wheelbase, resulting in shorter front and rear overhangs. Weight is also down 90 kg (198 lb) in the FWD versions and by 130 kg (287 lb) in AWD versions.

Mazda added many new active safety systems on the new CX-9. These include the Blind Spot Monitoring, Radar Cruise Control with a Stop/Start function, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, High Beam Control, and Autonomous Emergency Braking (low & high speed).

The CX-9 was discontinued in the U.S. market after 2023, being replaced by the CX-90 as Mazda's three-row flagship SUV.[5][6] However, it continues to be produced and is sold in other markets such as the Middle East.[7]
