Mazda’s CX-9 seven-passenger crossover SUV debuted in 2007 and it is one of the more nicely styled vehicles of its ilk. Its sculpted lines flow better than some of its utilitarian competitors and it has undergone several appearance changes for 2010 inside and out.

Most noticeable is a new grille and front-end design as well as new taillights and mirrors. We tested the 2010 CX-9 Grand Touring, the highest trim level, which wears 20-inch wheels and has a nicely appointed interior with some new upgraded features.

The CX-9 has a solid, refined feel with nimble handling that belies its not-so-insignificant proportions. With optional allwheel drive, only the front wheels are powered until slippage is detected, then up to 50 percent can be routed to the rearwheels; the CX-9 proved sure-footed in snowy conditions.
