Mazda has been quietly bringing its models upmarket and some of their most premium packages can certainly go toe-to-toe with its higher-priced rivals. Their latest CX-9 Carbon Edition continues this trajectory with a strong package of sporty luxury and all the essential amenities. The exterior is finished in a Polymetal Gray paint with gloss black door mirrors, a gloss black front grille, and 20-inch black metallic aluminum alloy wheels. 

The interior is finished in red leather with black metallic interior trim and the infotainment system has all the tech you need such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bose Premium Audio, and a suite of safety systems. The car also features a seven-inch digital instrument panel, ventilated front seats and heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, power-folding door mirrors, adaptive front-lighting, and satin chrome roof rails.
