I've watched about 50 reviews and have now bought my own 2019 CX9 AZAMI AWD I'm so in love with it. Doesn't feel like I'm driving a bus but a car that wants to be pip on the road, motorway driving is such a dream.
I had a Lexus RX350, comparing to this both exterior and interior, RM 280K is a bargain. Replace the badge of this car with a Lexus one, they can charge you double and you will say it’s reasonably priced.
Probably I learn more english than the car in this video. So deep which I've to dive in the atlantic ocean to find this car out. Good Job and keep this good work up!
I'm quite curios if this is compared to the Kia Sorento which is almost half of the price of this good looking CX-9. It will be great if you can compare both of it side by side. which can make the car buyer to have a comparison
yes pls. though the price diff is vast but the point really is, should u spend 300k on a big comfortable 7-seater or the one that 100k less that also big if not bigger and comfortable too
Buy Kia Grand Carnival for ULTIMATE 3rd row seats. The seats at the back is so HUGE you can play hide in seek with your kids in the car itself. Love it!
Eugine, please review the 2020 CX-9. Why nobody is reviewing the 2020 CX-9? Only Thai Choo Yee did a comprehensive review but I don't understand mandarin. Looking forward to your 2020 CX-9 review.
nice car review eujin! my fam has this exact car awd... its awesome.. one of our faves.. we like it more than our older porsche cayenne tbh. more comfy!
In the USA, the 2019 CX-9 can cost as much as 52kUSD. I bought a 2016 model CX-9 Signature with 22k miles for $25kUSD. I love everything about it. Its the nicest used car I have ever owned, and I used to sell Cadillacs. Mazda wants the owner to enjoy this vehicle. You can see that effort everywhere you look. You can plug the two USB cables in the center seat console, then close the compartment and stow the armrest with the cables coming out at the front/top. Thank you for the great review.
In my country you can get the fully equipped CX9 signature for half the price Malaysian pay. Cars are just way too expensive in Malaysia and there is no justification for it.
Cx9 pricing in Malaysia is absurd as compared to other countries. It should be the same as Kia Sorento. I was waiting for this car to be launched in Malaysia. Expectation would be a bit premium from Sorento roughly +- 250k. But when it does launched here, I was left with Sorento to chose from.
Last year I was so eagerly waiting for this car to be launched coz I thougt it would be priced at RM230-250k range being a Mazda. As I watched so many video reviews in Australia (CarAdvice, CarsGuide, BRRRRM, Drive.com.au) most of these site picked this over the comparison (Toyato Highlander, Kia Sorento, Santa Fe) etc. AutoGuide even compare CX-9 against the venerable Audi Q7 and said it does not offer much less other than the badge. Then it came out and priced at RM300-330k, my goodness @#$%& A 80-90% as good Sorento 2.2 HS diesel is going for only 60% of CX-9 prices. This show how over priced this CX-9 is in the country. Somemore with our roadtax pricing structure, the running cost is also higher for CX-9. Yes, this is a good car but only for those who has the money to "make a difference", and will never be mainstream !! Come on, even a Harrier priced at 240k is everywehere but not this. Mazda still does not command that much. And worst of all, no 360 cam and no ACC !!!
Please do a video comparison between this and the other two kimchi 7-seater SUVs, Sorento & Santa Fe. Is it worth spending over RM100k more to get this over the other two?
Not worthy of the hefty price tag. Regardless of the generous quality, I still find lacking in other factors. 280k is ridiculous price in Malaysia to be compared here in Brunei :(
Hi Eu Jin, anytime soon...will you be test driving and voice your opinion including pricing on the Toyota Kluger V6...3.5 litres SUV. I'm definitely interested in what you have to say on this particular SUV..
Does CX 9 come with parcel shelf with the 2 seats down? I'm looking for a 7 seater but need some covered storage knowing the safety (or the lack thereof) around KL
It is good to see this RH drive review of Mazda's CX-9 as driven in Australia. What about a SkyActive-X engine for the CX-9 - say of 2.4 Litre capacity, with a firmer ride to improve its driveability, economy and performance?
it was quite an easy decision for me to have this over the german 5 seaters as i need 7 seater capability occasionally. it looks a class above the cheaper korean diesel 7 seater suv. japanese 7 seater eg fortuner lacks the comfort for rear passenger due to the pick up like suspension setup. the acceleration is also best in the class only losing to xc90.
nazrul nn I too was looking at the Q7 (new model), XC90, CX-9. Needed a big SUV, 7-seater a plus. I ended up with a Merc GLE 250D instead. Looks older as it is just a facelifted ML but at the end of the day, a lot more solid and better after sales experience. CX-9 is definitely value for money. Car in itself is great. The only thing stopping me is the local distributor - Bermaz. Too many horror stories and technical inadequacies. After paying RM300K for a car and having to suffer the frustration of dealing with Bermaz, hard to accept.
This car price almost par with Sorento in Australia.but Malaysia was 120K over pricey for AWD variant,this it's just a sport package,Not a GT spec without auto hold ,active radar function same as they take it away form M6.sorento also no all round view camera and not the platinum spec.no wonder mostly SUV buyer going for GLC or Lexus NX.
Hefty price tag? Dang it must be really expensive in Malay. It's among the cheapest SUV's we can get here, especially for the full option. Slightly more expensive than the Honda Pilot and the Kia Sorento. I've got the CX-9, and in terms of build quality and features and looks, it's just perfect. It all depends on your needs tho. Look around. Will have to say that the interior of both the Pilot and Sorento have ALOT of hard plastics and cheaper materials. And the Pilot is super dull. If anything I'd second the Sorento after my CX-9 for that price range.
Good review. Could you perhaps demonstrate how easy or difficult it is to park this car at the usual parking spaces around town and in buildings? Cars are getting bigger however the parking spaces have shrunk making it difficult to get in and out. It's very important that the review focuses on city landscape as it better represents the daily driving conditions. Good review nevertheless.
Well it depends on what your looking for. If your looking for more space in the back then the Vellfire would be a great choice and if your looking for a sporty car sedan experience on an SUV with some compromises on space then go for the CX 9.
I'm in the same situation. Test drove both odyssey rc1 and cx-9 and decided to go for cx-9 because it's a much nicer car to drive. The torque makes it effortless vs the odyssey which I think is best driven very patiently or chauffeur driven. As a passenger the odyssey wins due to its more boxy shape and bigger interior space. Also odyssey ingress/egress for passenger is much easier-Honda designed the step from ground into car to be just 1 foot up, sliding doors open bigger and there's an aisle in middle of 2nd row to get to third. But as the person who pays for the car and drives it, the cx-9 is a no brainer. Hope this helps.
Sze Ern Foo, thanks for your feedback. As expected, cx9 is the driver's car and odyssey is for passenger comfort. In my case, I think i have to sacrifice the desire of having drivers car and allow the needs of passenger comfort as the priority. Travelling sometimes with elderly parent really killing my option out there. Looks like mpv is ftw 😭
Take the kia sorento.. Its about half the price now. Roughly same size inside. In other countries.. Cx9 and sorento are priced quite comparatively. But in msia its juz too expensive for a mazda
3rd seat is cramped, santa fe and sorento better because quality wise and status, this car aint make a dent with this price range. in australia, this car price comparable to sorento,santa fe only
The price is so rediculous for the value you get. Try look at the MZD connect other than the Bluetooth connect the navigation is crap there is no Android auto or Apple Car Play. The car looks plush but still 300k is way too rediculous.
You hit it dead on regarding the pricing level. I am still deciding whether to save over 100k and go with Fortuner full spec (and rear air cons for the 3rd row), but after going thru the test drive of the CX-9 and all the active safety features, it's hard to go back to the minimalist safety features (or lack of) in Fortuner. But at 300k...hmm, it's German luxury level pricing...hmm....hmm....hmm...I hope the CKD version will come with price reduction without significant kit removal.
Boon Khong Foo The Cx9 is a great car but pricing point is off. If you are considering the Fortune, go for the Sorento instead. It's a better car in every respect from space, to refinement, to power to build quality. But no point taking my word for it, just go test both back to back, or check out reviews. But if you hv budget for Cx9, I would just stretch a bit for Xc90 T8. That's spectacular value vs the Cx9.
if i have RM 300K cash i will buy vellfire because 3rd row really massive spacious. yes it is mpv not suv but 3rd row is is matter to me and 2nd row is captain chair..
I've watched about 50 reviews and have now bought my own 2019 CX9 AZAMI AWD I'm so in love with it. Doesn't feel like I'm driving a bus but a car that wants to be pip on the road, motorway driving is such a dream.
This review was as captivating as the car. Amazing selection of words. Comparing the interior curvature to knives was epic. Great job man. Bravo
I had a Lexus RX350, comparing to this both exterior and interior, RM 280K is a bargain.
Replace the badge of this car with a Lexus one, they can charge you double and you will say it’s reasonably priced.
Your words show how much you love the car. Great job Eujin 👏
Probably I learn more english than the car in this video. So deep which I've to dive in the atlantic ocean to find this car out. Good Job and keep this good work up!
Steven Ho Shu Liang so deep you can find Atlantis.
Hahaha i hope it’s seen as a good thing guys...
Pan EJ may have overdone it a little I think.
ch13t duly noted 👌🏼thanks for the remarks!
Lots of vocabulary words
I enjoyed the video so much
Thanks
I've sold 2pc's brand new of this since the car came..the clients are very happy an year later after driving the car.
Bro. Let me know if you have any really good clearance sale offer. I am interested to get one.
I'm quite curios if this is compared to the Kia Sorento which is almost half of the price of this good looking CX-9. It will be great if you can compare both of it side by side. which can make the car buyer to have a comparison
Very brilliant question. Please. Compare with Kia Sorento highest spec. Tell us your opinion on this. Thanks.
I would go for Kia.
yes pls. though the price diff is vast but the point really is, should u spend 300k on a big comfortable 7-seater or the one that 100k less that also big if not bigger and comfortable too
In most countries, pricing for the Sorento is similar to the Cx9. Local assembly effects has really skewed pricing in Msia.
Price of Sorento is the same in USA
Very nice review, natural presentation and nice choices of words. I like the reference of a van for other competitors 😆
Buy Kia Grand Carnival for ULTIMATE 3rd row seats. The seats at the back is so HUGE you can play hide in seek with your kids in the car itself. Love it!
The most intelligent and informative review of the cx 9...good job!
Eugine, please review the 2020 CX-9.
Why nobody is reviewing the 2020 CX-9?
Only Thai Choo Yee did a comprehensive review but I don't understand mandarin.
Looking forward to your 2020 CX-9 review.

Thank you for the great review.
You should play badminton. Somehow you look like Lee Chong Wei.
Akhirnya nonton Auto Buzz lagi.
The best around the world!!!!!
CX9 is the best of the best of the best of the best of the best.
for me 5 seater suv is enough.if u want 7 seater better buy mpv or land cruiser.3 row seat in any suv is horrible
have you tried to sit in the third-row seat of every 7 seater SUV?
>"3 row seat in any suv is horrible"
>names land cruiser.
XC90 3rd row is pretty livable
Thanks Eu Jin for the review
Muhamad Faisal Mohamad Nor thanks for watching!
Wondering how did this & CX-5 weren’t equipped with paddle shifters
I m impress with the car but I m more impress with your english & choice of words. Keep it up bro!
In my country you can get the fully equipped CX9 signature for half the price Malaysian pay. Cars are just way too expensive in Malaysia and there is no justification for it.
I wonder where do you live?
great review. love the driving footage
Entertaining! Funny! Not boring!
Awesome Review. The Mazda CX-9 is very sleek.
Hi, is this a Black Colour Car?
Size don't matter, it's how you use it
Chun Chen Chung lol
Cx9 pricing in Malaysia is absurd as compared to other countries. It should be the same as Kia Sorento. I was waiting for this car to be launched in Malaysia. Expectation would be a bit premium from Sorento roughly +- 250k. But when it does launched here, I was left with Sorento to chose from.

is the cx9 interior and driving comfort similar to the cx8?
does it come with captain seats or only this 7 seater variant?
Not worthy of the hefty price tag. Regardless of the generous quality, I still find lacking in other factors. 280k is ridiculous price in Malaysia to be compared here in Brunei :(
Izwan Pmd I got my at Brunei just cost me around B$54,000.00....way too over price at Malaysia....but really a nice car to own..
Hi Eu Jin, anytime soon...will you be test driving and voice your opinion including pricing on the Toyota Kluger V6...3.5 litres SUV.
I'm definitely interested in what you have to say on this particular SUV..
Does CX 9 come with parcel shelf with the 2 seats down? I'm looking for a 7 seater but need some covered storage knowing the safety (or the lack thereof) around KL
looking to get one soon thanks for video.
tvrfly57689 congrats!
It is good to see this RH drive review of Mazda's CX-9 as driven in Australia.
What about a SkyActive-X engine for the CX-9 - say of 2.4 Litre capacity,
with a firmer ride to improve its driveability, economy and performance?
I think if this car only have 2 row of seats already ok.... but to make it as a boss suv i think a Land Cruiser or the LX570 can do better
but not every malaysian can afford the Land Cruiser or the LX570 cause its expensive
nice to have the 2.2 diesel together with it
it was quite an easy decision for me to have this over the german 5 seaters as i need 7 seater capability occasionally. it looks a class above the cheaper korean diesel 7 seater suv. japanese 7 seater eg fortuner lacks the comfort for rear passenger due to the pick up like suspension setup. the acceleration is also best in the class only losing to xc90.
nazrul nn you're saying it as is Mazda is not Japanese. It's the same class as nissan toyota
nazrul nn I too was looking at the Q7 (new model), XC90, CX-9. Needed a big SUV, 7-seater a plus. I ended up with a Merc GLE 250D instead. Looks older as it is just a facelifted ML but at the end of the day, a lot more solid and better after sales experience. CX-9 is definitely value for money. Car in itself is great.

After paying RM300K for a car and having to suffer the frustration of dealing with Bermaz, hard to accept.
JL is gle250d 7 seater...i really dont know which merc large suv model has 7 seats.
What are the differences between cx9 and cx8?
This car price almost par with Sorento in Australia.but Malaysia was 120K over pricey for AWD variant,this it's just a sport package,Not a GT spec without auto hold ,active radar function same as they take it away form M6.sorento also no all round view camera and not the platinum spec.no wonder mostly SUV buyer going for GLC or Lexus NX.
hukaka alex Agreed, Sorento is a much better buy
Bro personal opinion if to dish out Rm300 for 7 seaters SUV probably my choice will be MPV more roamy at least

It's very important that the review focuses on city landscape as it better represents the daily driving conditions. Good review nevertheless.
Jack Ham thanks for your suggestion, maybe for the next “big car review”?
I would pick this over the vellfire hahahahaha
Henry Siew definitely
Vellfire is shit
Well it depends on what your looking for. If your looking for more space in the back then the Vellfire would be a great choice and if your looking for a sporty car sedan experience on an SUV with some compromises on space then go for the CX 9.
will wait for the cx--8, santa fe... or prolly look at one of those conti with hybrid aka xc60 types... 280k? hmm...
good job eujin
anyway do a review on nissan serena highway star
wesley17 will try to arrange , thanks for watching!
thumb's up to Eu Jin!
aku1031 thanks!
Nice review!!
Please review the new odyssey. I am struggle to choose this cx9 or odyssey.
Asrul Amin Ismail depends on your primary need... How many people do you usually travel with?
I'm in the same situation. Test drove both odyssey rc1 and cx-9 and decided to go for cx-9 because it's a much nicer car to drive. The torque makes it effortless vs the odyssey which I think is best driven very patiently or chauffeur driven. As a passenger the odyssey wins due to its more boxy shape and bigger interior space.

Travelling sometimes with elderly parent really killing my option out there. Looks like mpv is ftw 😭
So, who won the ping pong on top of the award winning SUV?? A good review by the way. Love the design but not the MZD system.
CX-9 vs Harrier?
Zulfahmi Makhzani for me, CX9 no doubt!
Different segment bro... Cx5 rivals with harrier
Take the kia sorento.. Its about half the price now. Roughly same size inside. In other countries.. Cx9 and sorento are priced quite comparatively. But in msia its juz too expensive for a mazda
fyzal1823 sad isnt it?
Good spoken English for a cheras boy!👍👍👍
Mazda is owning..
3rd seat is cramped, santa fe and sorento better because quality wise and status, this car aint make a dent with this price range. in australia, this car price comparable to sorento,santa fe only
azrin Yahaya Kia and Hyundai "status" lol?
australia sorento is 3.5L v6 engine, which is comparable to cx-9 2.5T. malaysia sorento only 2.4L
Matteo Ventura mazda also not a status symbol, it aint the 3 pointed star nor the beemer,
Ryan Chan tq for the information sir
azrin Yahaya Mazda is not a status symbol but it's seen way waaay more premium than Kia and Hyundai. This at least in the US and Europe.
I like what u said.. not the car
The price is so rediculous for the value you get. Try look at the MZD connect other than the Bluetooth connect the navigation is crap there is no Android auto or Apple Car Play. The car looks plush but still 300k is way too rediculous.
Lol. If u think mazdas r expensive, then u r not one of their target audience lah. #janganperasan
For a 300K, Toyota Prado is the right choice if you want intimidation and luxury at the same time plus it has the 3rd row aircond
nice heavvy car ever made
Harga mazda berapa cx 9
You hit it dead on regarding the pricing level.

But if you hv budget for Cx9, I would just stretch a bit for Xc90 T8. That's spectacular value vs the Cx9.
Oh my. Still no rear aircond? In cx8 also no rear ac. Mehhh 😭🥵
hahaha, "size does not matters , but then again they were all girls , I wonder if we were in the same subject"
Where's GC Mah?
Jameson Wong locked in our office dungeon haha
if i have RM 300K cash i will buy vellfire because 3rd row really massive spacious. yes it is mpv not suv but 3rd row is is matter to me and 2nd row is captain chair..
Cx9 or xc90?

No batman socks reference? I am disappointed.

Size does matters mate..:-p
I'm here for friendship
what?? this car comes with falken tyre? must be kidding me
The intro 😂
At MYR 300k , I’d rather go for Recond Audi Q7 TDI
Boot space is quite a drawback
Volvo XC60 T5 much more worthy than it! Pricing & Performance better!
nice intro..lol..
Kenot beat myvi. Can fit 7 people esp when balik kpg
Zackventure kenot beat kancil
The tyres are 255 not 225
franklampard78 youre right, my apologies...meant to say 255 but got mixed up...was why I mentioned “even in the front” 👍🏼
I was like how can Mazda put a 225 width tyres in such big SUV 😂
Xc 90 is rather good
So "singlish" .. #headache
too much expensive, better buy second hand Germany car. such as GL or ML Benz.
Must be an ad
kohson koh a fantastic one isnt it? Thanks for watching!

Sad review. Don't give up your day job dude.
i think, you have a great problems with your accent
Айдын Игембердиев i think it’s just the language barrier, i have great problems understanding your grammar too. Maybe stick to russian videos?
Nah.... there's nothing wrong with his english, it's precise and very nice, i think you that have a problem!!
