First Look | 2021 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring in Enterprise, Alabama

[@alaskaaudioguy35]

I like how you are a Mazda sales man doing your best to do neutral review showing off the vehicles not doing catching sails pitch Typical dealership vids. I wish more would do them like you.

[@carlosfigueroa6701]

Hey Jonathan, I just purchased my 2021 CX-9 Carbon Edition from Garden City Mazda. Thank you for your informative channel keep up the great work!

[@JSS]

Awesome! I would love to see some pictures. Congratulations!

[@joskjj3625]

Hey i live 10 minutes away from that place

[@miguelkennedy9520]

The 2021 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring with a 10.25” infotainment system is really awesome Jonathan :)

[@JSS]

I love it!

[@bobwillis3027]

This is awesome man. Love the channel

[@JSS]

Thank you

[@civiliansheepdog3637]

So we lost the large storage bin because of the wireless charging? There wasn't that much storage in the CX-9 to begin with.

[@JSS]

Give and take

[@aggieboy91]

Beautiful color and sharp looking. It's too bad they put that dealership decal on the back. It ruins the aesthetic.

[@JSS]

I understand. We remove at the owners request.

[@kevinnnoz]

Another first class pumped up right to the point presentation Jon... thanks mate, can’t wait to see your vid on the cx5 signature! I can’t understand why maZda doesn’t offer foot activated tailgates on all the vehicles... seems a no-brainer. I notice almost all your vehicles have been pin striped...

[@JSS]

We pinstripe everything unless the customer doesn’t want it. I think we will see more foot activated lift gates in the future.

[@danschubring7957]

I’m waiting for the ‘22 CX-9 to arrive before I make a change. I’m not sure about a light colored interior as it seems to show more signs of wear. Thoughts?

[@JSS]

What I’ve noticed is the lighter interiors can show some blue jean dye or other dirt, and can be cleaned. The black leather seems to show dust, crumbs, etc but in most cases just requires wiping or vacuuming. I guess it depends on which you’d rather have.

[@EliShirk]

Jonathan, are there any interior differences between the 2021 Grand Touring and Touring with Premium Package? Do all 2021 CX-9 trims include 3 years of Mazda Connected Services?

[@JSS]

Yes, ventilated seats and 360 camera are differences. All CX-9 have 3 years of services, yes.

[@matleics]

Smart vehicle ! Love the newer sized screen too. What is the small button looking thing above the P on the shifter ?

[@elquco]

You mean where you put wireless charging? That to turn on the wireless charging option or off

[@JSS]

I think you’re referring to the tab that has the brake light switch. If the brake lights fail you push that to get it out of park when you start it.

[@sanilj]

Hey Jonathan, I bought a 2020 CX-9 GT in Soul Red with captain’s chairs in July. I want those 2021 features- new infotainment screen, paddle shifters, automatic reverse braking, wireless charger and better resolution cameras. Can they be dealer installed? Thanks!

[@JSS]

Unfortunately not. Logistically you could add the screen, but the software wouldn’t mesh.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

I love the CX9 and the CX5! I’m happy to see the new features! Now if we could just get Mazda to add a panoramic sunroof to the CX9 and CX5! 😁

[@JSS]

I know...we need that!

[@cyberathlete]

That's the #1 requested feature and it is mind boggling as to why they still don't on their flagship car. Even Hyundai and Kia and Toyota are stepping up the panoramic sunroof game. I am holding off buying a CX-9 for that one reason. Because last thing I need is to buy one now and then for 2022 they announce a panoramic sunroof.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

@@cyberathlete It wouldn't stop me from buying the CX9 if I were shopping for a vehicle. Luckily, I am not shopping for a new vehicle for at least another three years. Maybe then Mazda will do something about it then.:)

[@alfig001]

Question: How many stroller could you fit in truck area with all three rows in use? Thank you

[@JSS]

Maybe one on it’s side. There’s not much room at all. If one third row seat was down, could fit two possibly.

[@kordibasha]

Is the exhaust pipes bigger in the GT or Signature trim than last year’s ⁉️ Dose the Signature Trim for 2021 comes with new rims style ⁉️

[@JSS]

Exhaust are the same size. The Signature does have Bright Finish wheels this year.

[@eddiecarbajal6707]

Does this new infotainment system have the weather radar? I really enjoy having access to the radar on my Mazda 6 whenever it works.

[@JSS]

I haven’t seen it, but am going to have review of the bee system available later this week.

[@craigroberts6439]

Love the pin stripes.

[@sajithkumar2450]

Read many complaints about soul red color ! Is it true with newer 2020 Mazda cx 9 soul red !coz I plan to buy 2021 cx 9 soul red gt

[@sajithkumar2450]

Like chipping n other paint issues

[@JSS]

There are some bugs in the paint process apparently from the early years. I have seen one vehicle with those problems. I believe Mazda has corrected them because I have not seen any issues on 2019 or 2020 vehicles.

[@Karthik1516]

@@sajithkumar2450 Some people exaggerate and make big deal about it. We have 2018 soul crystal red. Fabulous color multi-coat color and looks fantastic at night. We do have couple of minor hair line scratches. I don't know how it happened. But, it is very minor. You can see it only if you look for it.

[@sajithkumar2450]

@@Karthik1516 hey 👋 thank you so much bro ,soul red is the best color on Mazda

[@princeyi17]

When can we get the signature trim?

[@JSS]

It’s going to be a little while 😬

[@ariessilva]

When you get a signature edition, can you do a comparison with the 2020 model?

[@JSS]

I will be glad to...when I get one.

[@cyberathlete]

Main difference between 2020 and 2021: Quilted Napa Leather seats. The door now has textured aluminum trims instead of a smooth aluminum. The grill is updated for 2021. It has ridges in the horizontal grills as opposed to a smooth chrome grill. Much sharper infotainment screen and camera (thank God). Just an FYI Napa leather doesn't make the seat any more plush or cushiony. It's still the same firmness as on the GT, but just a more premium covering on the seat. PS what's with this nitrogen adding to the tires. Can you please give the exact % of Nitrogen in the tires and how much you charge for it?

[@AK-gl9oz]

Hey Jonathan. I’m looking at the CX9 as an option for my family. Do any of the GT model years from 16-21 have memory mirror presets that save with the 1&2 seat presets? Or are the mirrors all manual all the time? Thanks!

[@robertsabo3247]

Most of features what you show up as new is industry standard at this price point

[@JSS]

Mazda hasn’t been at the forefront in many things, but glad they are getting with the game.

[@gyposse]

Fog lights?

[@JSS]

Yes LED fog lights

[@danmiedema1927]

I like this trim I'm not a big fan of the wood trim on the sig. trim. Also I agree with you on the bombs away glove compartment doors lol

[@JSS]

Yes! 😂 That’s the first thing I would change.

[@jacobarmstrong9173]

Are there still NO air vents for the 3rd row?

[@alexanderornelas8490]

No

[@Fili-sj7mu]

i have a question does the gran touring alos have 360 cameras cause i thought it was only the siganture

[@elquco]

Great video , sep1 got my cx9 2020 Gt , only difference is screen and wireless charger, I’m fine with what I have , but good update 👍🏻

[@JSS]

Yes the CX9 GT has so many updates over the last couple of years. The 2020 is really nice!

[@cyberathlete]

The camera is much sharper, the screen is much sharper and the infotainment is more responsive and snappy. I know because i had a 2021 loaner for a day.

[@elquco]

@@JSS hey question , have you heard about the favorite radio station being erased I have cx9 GT 2020

[@immanuelanglicanchurch2465]

You mentioned it was a black interior. So are the seats grey?

[@JSS]

The seats are black. They have two options Black or Sand (Tan)

[@immanuelanglicanchurch2465]

@@JSS Thanks Jonathan. When I buy mine I would want the Sand, especially here in Florida. G vectoring control. Is that with FWD or AWD?

[@jklwang]

No more touch screen for the infotainment ?

[@civiliansheepdog3637]

Nope

[@JSS]

The new infotainment has no touch, correct

[@danyxie9240]

Mazda car so stylish, i mean the head lamp look so masculine

[@JSS]

I love the front end! Very sleek.

[@imposter_green7436]

This is great also can you please also do it on the touring trim without the package because I’m very interested in the exact vehicle Thanks!

[@JSS]

Will do. When I have one available.

[@philipfreire]

Canadians got screwed. We didn’t get the new infotainment nor remote app for the CX-5 or CX-9.

[@dennisramos640]

At least we got wireless Apple CarPlay.

[@garykang1948]

Are you sure Canadian version did not get updated infotainment? I know screen stays the same size but the Mazda website lists updated infotainment.

[@albertodangelo9113]

On the Mazda Canada website, the specs still state 9" screen. That's pretty sad!

[@garykang1948]

My gf just picked up 2020 cx9 gsl and the camera resolution isnt the greatest. Wanted to know if the Canadian 2021 release would have a better camera. I wonder why no screen increase size in Canada? If thats the case not a significant difference between the 2020 and 2021. Only the wireless charging and wireless carplay.

[@JSS]

I don’t think the resolution changed if screen did not

[@chawpino8320]

Sonar? Is this underwater capable?

[@JSS]

Not applicable for underwater, but the sensors are emitting and receiving the signals. Similar to bats.

[@chawpino8320]

@@JSS Bats use reflected sound waves, just as sonar but neither have anything to do with reflected radio frequency waves. That's RADAR. not SONAR

[@JSS]

Chawpino right. I didn’t mention radio frequency. Sonar used ultrasonic sound waves.

[@jamescarpenter1842]

Gorgeous. I'm a fan.

[@JSS]

Cool! It’s great!

[@zeeshansuleman7960]

Does it now have a remote start?

[@JSS]

It will have remote start through the connected services/My Mazda app

[@alaskaaudioguy35]

I live in Alaska im looking at one I know Mazda doesn’t give many discounts and incentives on it how do I get the best price at a Mazda out the door price to see true price sounds like they don’t want to negotiate any tips I can’t shop around only one dealer in The Whole state if you have any tips how could you pass that on wish I was in your area peace

[@rosaayala6395]

Excelente automóvil japonés, pienso comprarlo en el 2021.

[@JSS]

You’ll love it!

[@m2193d]

Same shape for six years straight? Not that it is a bad looking car but it will be good to see a fresh face.

[@JSS]

I agree. I think we will see something different next year, unless they choose to change CX-5 first.

[@AmanRajput01]

The reason why they designed it in such a elegant way to start with so it stays fresh :) It looks better than most of Suvs

[@crazydaysful]

The Mazda's SUVs, especially the CX 9, is already the top best looking car out there with the look that it has - very classy looking. You don't need to make changes if they are not needed and if they will make the car look ugly. Some minor changes could be okay but not major changes.

[@rhou568]

hybrid?

[@JSS]

No hybrids yet. First Mazda hybrid may be coming next year, the MX-30.

[@cicada3312]

awesome car

[@rick467]

Great review! I'm looking at getting a used 2021 Grand Touring CX9.

[@JSS]

Awesome! They are great vehicles!

[@aby3549]

"Rear parking sonar"? Seriously?

[@JSS]

The Sonar has been around for several years. The updated rear safety is new.

[@gary6476]

I bet you sell a lot of cars by keeping the price a secret.

[@JSS]

I usually try to show the price, but forget sometimes. I definitely show the price to clients in person.
