The Mazda CX-9, which is the Japanese automaker’s largest seven-seat SUV, has received a price adjustment as of July 1, 2022.
UPDATE, 12/07/2022 2:01PM: A Mazda Australia spokesperson has corrected pricing it supplied for the 2022 Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD and Azami LE AWD.
The 2022 Mazda CX-9 Azami AWD is priced from $70,969 before on-road costs and the Azami LE AWD is priced from $74,219 before on-road costs.
This means asking prices for these two trim levels are up by $420 and $1170, respectively, due to changes in the luxury car tax (LCT) threshold, according to a Mazda Australia spokesperson.
Pricing now starts at $46,250 before on-road costs for the Sport FWD and extends to $74,219 before on-road costs for the Azami LE AWD.
Azami LE
This price increase follows an almost range-wide price increase of $260, as part of wider Mazda price rises due to supply chain constraints and production costs.
Regardless of the price increases, there haven’t been any specification changes.
The current, second-generation Mazda CX-9 has been on sale locally since 2016 and recently gained the sporty-looking GT SP and range-topping Azami LE trims.
Until June 2022, Mazda has sold a total of 3668 CX-9 models. It outsold the Kia Sorento (2837 sales), Hyundai Palisade (2222 sales), and Hyundai Santa Fe (2119 sales), but was outsold by the likes of the Toyota Kluger (6206 sales).
