#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2021 Mazda CX-9 7-passenger SUV. The Mazda CX-9 is an SUV for moving people around but mazda does it differently than most by adding an almost premium interior plus a turbocharged 4-cylinder instead of a V6 engine. Powering the CX-9 mid-size utility is a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission with 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. This engine can run on regular gas but the power drops to 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. This 6 or 7-seater has a luxury feel with plenty of soft materials used throughout a quiet cabin. The Kuro trim we are testing has a Garnet Red leather trimmed interior with red stitching along with captains chairs. These chairs have sliding and reclining functions and are available one up from the base model for $300, although they come standard on this Kuro trim. Although this is not the biggest 7-seater in its class, the seats are comfortable and plush with plenty of room for a family. The CX-9 comes standard with a 7” touchscreen, black cloth heated front seats, 7 passenger seating, leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter, Apple Carplay and Android Auto and i-Activsense safety features. There is a lot of value just one up from the base model. It gets you the bigger 9” touchscreen, a power moonroof, leather trimmed upholstery, power rear liftgate, heated second row seats, one touch swtich for second row bench seat, available second row captains chairs with sliding and reclining function, heated steering wheel, keyless entry and paddle shifters.The GT trim, two up from the base model will get you ventilated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, a Bose sound system, wireless charger and wireless Apple Carplay.
You’ll find Nappa leather quilted seats with piping details on the Signature trim. One area I feel the CX-9 could see some improvement in is the Infotainment system. Although, I do like the centre console dial, the touchscreen is too far away from the driver. Keep in mind, this touchscreen can only be used when the car is not in motion. The new CX-30 Turbo, it no longer has a touchscreen. The US offers a 10.25” screen in this CX-9, you can only use the dial like in the CX-30 Turbo and I feel Canada needs this upgrade as well. Maybe next year we’ll see this change. the Mazda gets 11.6L/100km, 20 MPG city

We really enjoy our 2019 CX-9. Agree with you on the electronics. The gas mileage is underrated. We get 27/28 mpg on the hwy. One big miss for us was no memory mirrors. Overall, well built and reliable.
I love the way Andrea's eyes light up whenever she's driving a Mazda! I'm a Mazda fan girl too! I feel the same way! If Mazda would add a panoroof to the CX-9 and the CX-5, it would really be golden!
Aaah thanks! I am with you on the panoroof, hope they do it.
People. I just drove a sport and touring CX9. I don’t need the space, but this thing drives so much better than the CX5. It really is night and day difference, plus it looks premium inside more so than the 5. It’s planted. The feel is so smooth. You put down the 3rd row and presto, more storage. This is a better buy than the 5. A Grand Touring 5 with Premium Package is 35k. A CX9 Sport is 36K. It’s a no brainer. IMO
I really like the CX-9 as well for the space and the practicality. You are right, it handles well too. - Andrea
The People thank you
very interesting. I wonder why. It's the same powertrain isn't it? I would have guessed the smaller, lighter cx-5 would have a much nicer feel on the road. I'll have to try out both and see for myself.
I really appreciate the effort that you guys take to do the ‘Night Life’ shots/edits. There are not enough nighttime pictures of car’s interiors. And its always great to see downtown Vancouver! I like this Mazda enough that I would short list it. The interior is paramount for me, as well as price (obviously). Thanks for another entertaining video review.
Thank you so much, glad to hear you like them. I agree, it's nice to see a vehicle at night, you never get the opportunity to see what it looks like in the dark before you buy it.
We did a lot of research and test drove a bunch of 3-row SUVs, and found the the '21 CX9 GT the best fit for us. We loved the quality of the materials, handling and gas mileage. We get 24+ in the city which is surprising for such a big AWD vehicle. I would have liked a 110 volt outlet like some of the other 3-row vehicles.
I just bought a Kuro yesterday. I love it. The missus bought an CX-30 last week. We love Mazda. In fact we traded in 2 Audi e-trons and we’re happy we did.
Good for you guys! Great products, great brand, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing!
BTW……..I’ve SUBSCRIBED!!
Review top notch. Zach glad u touched on torque. Andrea nice smile as always. Mazda Its obvious it's refresh time. Looking forward to ur future. Cheers from MTL.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it.
My wife and I just picked up a new '23 CX9 touring trim w/captains chairs & the sun roof. Managed like 5.1k off MSRP with it being an outgoing mode making room for the cx90.
Maybe I'm crazy, I MUCH prefer the look of the 9. That turbo V6 sure is tempting though😅
Thank you for your excellent reviews and it’s great to have a local based review. It’s sometimes hard to find an accurate review online since models can vary with trim packages etc when comparing Canadian vs US models.
Keep up the great work!
Glad you like them!
That color is just 🔥 I really wish they would finally give the CX-9 and CX-5 a pano sunroof
Me too!
This is the first ever review I watched on your channel. Loved it!! Thank you!!👍🏼
Come on back
Fantastic review. Perfect timing, watched you guys while having my lunch. Drea, I don't know how you do it, but you look more beautiful in every review you do. Thank you for the consistent content, it's informative and always well presented. Well done!
Oh thank you!
Wow, thank you so much!
The Mazda website has information about the EV CX-30. I hope the CX-5 is next. I'm with Andrea about the red seats. They are very elegant and rich looking. Such a great color that will look good with whatever you're wearing. Call me a Mazda fanboy!
Call me a Mazda fangirl! lol! :)
It’s actually called MX-30. It takes some getting used to but it seems viable. I can’t wait to hear the sound of a rotary engine again, even if it just a range extender. My 2016 CX-9 is flawless, and still the best choice I have made in a personal vehicle.
Traded in my 2021 Tiguan for the Carbon Edition CX9...yes the torque makes it so much fun to drive. Balance in turning is wonderful.
A lot of brands make claims at being the best value for your dollar, but I think Mazda has recently taken that title with their upscaling of their interiors, sound systems, and driving dynamics. I think I would still rather have an Acura or Genesis (Lexus are too boring and dated interiors), but Mazda is doing a great job.
My Friend has a CX-5 2013 I think, still driving it, and it has 325k km on it already. They are not giving that ute up yet ...so there you go with the long term reliability question :P
Wonderful, thanks for sharing!
I have one here in the US and love it, great tech package 10.25 inch screen is perfect and love Mazda connect. I've gotten so many compliments on this car and really love it when I find the Telluride owners staring at it!
If you could get Telluride for the same dollar you bought the CX-9 , which one would you get ?
@@uos64 I would buy the CX-9 again, I would recommend driving one and decide for yourself if it suits your needs.
@@uos64 I seriously considered the telluride....but the Kuro won me over. The telluride is a bit more practical as it’s larger, but I preferred the styling and driving dynamics of the Kuro......the telluride is a great choice though......
2021.5 CX-5 and CX-9 models are coming out in June. Infotainment has been updated to the 10.25" display that is available in US. It has the new Mazda Connect software that's in the Mazda 3 and CX-30 in Canada. No touchscreen or wireless Carplay.
I want to lease this now as I am waiting for 2022 inline 6 models for CX5 and CX9
Has the inline 6 been confirmed?
Mazda has really raised their game in the past few years. Mazda's have always been well built and "sporty", but now they are really moving into the "value luxury" segment, if that segment actually exists. The interiors are amazing, really nice places to sit and they have a real quality to them. I had a 2011 Mazda 3 and it was a great little car, super reliable as well. They need a full length sun roof and better infotainment system and that would make a great refresh. Seeing the CX-30, I can only wish for a future "CX-50" and a "CX-90". Great review as always!
When shopping for a three row my criteria was reliability and fuel economy. The CX-9 hits both targets and the added quietness and smooth ride are bonuses. We did an eight hour roundtrip and what an enjoyable drive. Averaged about 26 mpg at 80 mph. We only need the third row occasionally. I looked at the Traverse but the transmission issues and random electrical problems plus the start stop systems was a deal breaker. Plus the safety systems aren't available on lower trim levels like the CX-9.
Good on you for dodging the GM bullet. Their quality in general is in the toilet.
Poly metallic exterior and red interior woweeezoweeee
I’ve always loved the CX-9, if they come out with a Hybrid or PHEV it would be a no brainer for me 🤞🏼
100%
Ditto. They are killing themselves by not having one of these options. Actually, this vehicle is begging for an AWD EV version.
Maaan..that Hybrid (assuming similar handling/driving dynamics) + 35+MPG (hopefully) + 110V outlet at the back ----->Instant buy..Take my money!!
We are shopping for a midsize SUV and currently drive a 2018 MAZDA6 Signature. Absolutely love that car! We cross shopped the Highlander, Pilot and even the Acura RDX with the CX-9. All the models we are looking at are within $1,000 (US) of each other. My Mazda dealer is knocking it out of the park as far as discounting the OTD price when compared to the others. I think I may like the RDX slightly more but the price difference is around $3,000…and it is not that much nicer. So it looks like there will be another Mazda in our garage soon. BTW Zac and Andrea, I love your reviews. It does help that you are so easy on the eyes Andrea…and Zac…you are a lucky man! Keep up the great work you 2! I look forward to the next review!
We have had Mazdas for the past 16 years. So I understand why you like them, Andrea.
I am in the market for a seven seater, but I refuse to pay $5k over MSRP for a Telluride. So, in spite of the small screen and the lack of a panoramic sunroof, the CX9 is high on my list. It’s such a great looking SUV. However, I am hoping to find a 2019 with low mileage, as that was the last model year, at least in the US, that the Signature trim was available with a rear bench seat.
@@BulldogDan1231 Good luck with the search. Whichever one you get, enjoy it!
We are picking up a 2021 CX-9 Grand Touring tomorrow. Really would have liked a Signature but there are very few in Ohio. Our favorite Mazda dealer has no Signatures, only the one GT and a Carbon Edition. Our GT is the Magnetic Grey Metallic. With black interior. Heading to Florida (from Ohio) next weekend. It will be a good test of how she performs.
@@BulldogDan1231 That sounds like a lot of fun, Dan! You get to break it in before your big trip. Enjoy the ride!
Love Mazda, love you . You are so kind and profesionnal. Congrats. Ciao from Paris
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching
Something tells me that Zack likes Andrea saying “ put it in S for subscribe”, as pillow talk.
I purchased (new) a 2008 CX9 and still drive/own it today! Runs great, looks great (I prefer the older body style)and it's got 160k miles. Will keep it but as I look for a new vehicle, I am finding for not much more than the CX9 other vehicles that are better powered and have more options etc.. Maybe the 2002 will improve some things?
Back in April '21 I sent an e-mail to Mazda Canada asking if they considered us second class citizens for not giving us the updated infotainment system that US buyers got. Lo and behold, months later Mazda came out with the 2021.5 CX-5 and CX-9 models featuring the 10.25" screen. You're welcome, fellow Canadians.
I am also a Mazda fan just like Andrea. I love the Mazda brand. I own a Mazda 3 2014
"unique proposition" totally agree with you Zack.
Love this car. Find it odd you guys didn’t get the new 10 inch infotainment
I love the colour of the seats as well. You mention that a bench is optional? That’s good because so many three rows have captains chairs in the second row and the only way to accommodate five passengers is to shove one in the very back. I like the MDX Acura because the middle seat is removable as an option.
I like this car but will wait until the 22 model year to see if the infotainment system is improved :)
Thanks for this :)
Something tells me Zack is less than impressed about the CX9 towards the end. Can't blame him. I like Mazda products, especially for their high quality interiors but it feels like the CX9 and CX5 are becoming outdated. Loved them at first but it's time for a refresh. Come ooon Mazda!! You can do it.
Reliability- my 2010 Speed3 has been absolutely rock solid in 11 years of ownership. My eyes are on the all new CX9 whenever that comes out.
They all rusted away around here.
I have had no major issues and LOVE my 2020 CX-9, BUT one common issue I have personally experienced, and heard from the dealer is a common issue in 2016-present CX-9s, are the power-folding mirror motors. These tiny electric motors have a tendency to break, requiring complete replacement. It is a warranted part, but I imagine expensive out of warranty. The worst thing is the option to disable power folding mirrors is NOT user defeatable or a selectable option in the UI. Turning off power fold requires a secret key combo at startup only found in dealer manuals. Luckily it spread on message boards, but that is seriously uncool.
@@KillaninjaFC how is the AC on 90°F days with a car full of people? It was weak on the early versions.
@@normt430 I have had mine sine day 1. Oil sprayed every year and all through Canadian (Ontario) winters and no rust except for a bit starting under the rear wiper. Not bad at all for 11 years old up here.
As always great review keep up the good work .
Thank you very much!
I own a 2021 CX5 carbon edition with the red interior and I absolutely love it and couldn’t be more happy. Plus the 10.25 inch infotainment system is sooooo much nicer than the ones in the cx9 and other Mazdas that haven’t gotten it yet
Good video!! would buy the Honda or Hundiay
Thank you!
Signature trim is another level😀
You guys got your wish I think...the CX line seems to give you the bigger screen, more digital screens, and the pano sunroof. Hopefully the same luxury is there in the higher versions.
Had mine almost three years…great car….and here in Canada some 20,000AUD cheaper!
Hey Zack, Your coffee cup looks always empty when you do that coffee/questions/cars part. 😂
Zack LOVES coffee!
if we needed the room..would be one on top of my list...very stylish..and always liked the interiors of Mazdas..they seem to be a reliable and fairly descent on fuel too
Mazda makes some great vehicles well engineered chassis, motor, and transmission combination add to that the new upmarket interiors, what a great package. The lack of a panoramic roof will hurt sales vs the competition. Not sure if Mazda offers cooled front seats yet...
I agree Mazda makes some great cars. Yes, you can get cooled/ventilated front seats. Not having the panoramic roof is not a big deal for me.
Cooled seats yes......I had a pano on a previous car and had the shade closed most of the time.....
Maaaaaaaazda!
aaaaaaaaaaaaa HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!
Cool classic car be cause. Classic cars never get old right
Don't forget that the relationship between Toyota and Mazda includes Mazda providing technology to Toyota, in the form of an upcoming straight 6. It is likely this will end up in a Lexus and also in the next Mazda 6.
Dear Motormouth Family,
This review more or less convinced the wife and I to buy a CX9. We already have a vantastic van, which we drive without shame. Since I have owned three sports cars. This CX9 kind of provides a Mid Life Crisis sports car-crossover without causing a marital crisis. I think. Plus the uniqueness, and quality, as you point out. Negatives would be that only 30,000 or so sell a year. So not a lot of parts. Or even dealers. But we’ll made. So we shall see. Even if the warranty is pretty feeble compared to Kia. So with all the negatives, including pretty tiny third row, this car has style, quality and fun for those with familial obligations to consider.
BTW , your web site name (Motormouth) suggests that y’all are one of those fast talking, hyper young presenters on You Tube. You are actually the opposite: very sensible, reasonable and understandable. So maybe some other moniker, such as “Good Car Advisers”( that’s actually pretty lame) , or something in the same vein , but more catchy. I almost avoided the channel, because of the name, but wanted to hear about the CX9. Have watched several other of your car reviews since, n like them all. I suppose one of the main reasons would be that you both are very knowledgeable re the vehicles, without being boring. Then you also have the family driver perspective. And the mom vs. dad perspective.
Thank you for the kind words and the feedback. If you are not in a rush, there will be a new CX-9 replacement called CX-90 later this year...
Torque is wat i love d most, hope mazda improves boot space
I thought Mazda has upgraded the CX-9 screen to the new 10.5" like the 2021 CX-5. I guess this is the remaining inventory out there to dispose before bringing the 2021 with upgraded screen. Personally this is still my choice if ever I want to upgrade to a bigger SUV because of top notch after sales service and reliability and no CVT.👌 👍 😂 👏
That is correct. At least in the US for 2021, Mazda upgraded the infotainment system to the one first seen on the new 2019 Mazda 3. The CX-5 and CX-9 got the change. Maybe Canada product wasn't include. The old system dates back to 2014.
Mazda Canada annouced for the 2021.5 CX-5 and CX9 will be standard with the 10.25 screen and mazda connect services
Happy to say that the large new screen is added for delivery in June. Mazda News May 12,2021
"...MSRP on our 2016 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD was $43,620. In one year we rolled the odometer up to 22,326 miles. In this condition, the Edmunds TMV Calculator valued the CX-9 at $31,096 based on a private-party sale. Depreciation was rather high, at nearly 29 percent of the original MSRP based on a private-party sale." Edmunds
The CX,-9 is a nice vehicle that needs a new replacement. With both Mazda and Toyota working together on new platforms, the next generation CX-9 could possibly be a better selling model.
I look forward to seeing what they come up with. Improved tech, a panoramic sunroof and a digital driver display would make this CX-9 a real winner.
@@andreaspencer9813 it did look rather dark in the 3rd row I noticed during the review. It would make for an improvement for sure.
Love the reviews
How bout the Mazda 6 carbon. Its been along time since youve done one on this car. Interested to get Andreas take on this as well. Great stuff!
Great video and review!
Thank you very much!
Very nice vehicle. I am disappointed they didn’t include a large touchscreen and a large glass roof. Hopefully they’ll change that next year.
Yes, we hope so. Thanks for watching!
@@andreaspencer9813 No problem Andrea! 👍🏻👊🏻
It may not have a pano roof but at least the side window for third row is a lot larger than even in a Mercedes GLE.
When do you think you will get your hands on the Aston Martin DBX?
"...the CX-9 AWD system doesn't send power to the rear wheels quickly enough, which can result in torque steer if you need to accelerate away from a stop quickly."
" In dry conditions, the system is designed to minimize the amount of torque it sends to the rear wheels, which means during full-throttle acceleration, the CX-9 and its 310 lb-ft of torque will chirp the front tires and then proceed to torque-steer, leaving the driver to wrestle with the steering wheel. Considering the AWD control module is monitoring both the accelerator position and steering angle, I feel like the moment the accelerator pedal is depressed fully, power should be moved to the rear to mitigate the effects of all of that torque on the front wheels." Motor Trend
True about the tech...I don’t mind how it looks but it is slow and has frozen a few times on my Kuro....not a deal breaker.....
Hi love your reviews but can you make a review of 2021 golf gti pls..
Thank you so much! If we get a Golf GTI we will definitely review it. VW doesn't have a press fleet here right now unfortunately.
@@andreaspencer9813 👍
I’ve had 3 cars with sun roofs…and I’ve never used them.
We got the better name in US; you all got better/more color choices. I'd take Canada!
Torque moves cars. Horsepower sells cars.
Also badly need a modern 8-speed auto!
It's easy to enable touchscreen always.
Its not 7 seater, Kuro is 6 seats because of the captain seats in the back
Great job
I'm not located in the us and I am getting this Mcx9 but it does not have the sunroof is there anyway I can share with you the brochure I was given for you guys to help spot what model I am actually getting?
Mazda forever!!
I'm getting tired of the 'harsh' ride of my 2018 Sportage SX Turbo. Out of the new Sportage/Tucson/Sorento/Santa Fe/Santa Cruz, which has the most 'luxurious' ride?
The CX-9 "Isn't the biggest vehicle in this class" ? (5:55) That's technically true. In terms of length the 199.4" long CX-9 is shorter than the Dodge Durango and the Chevy Traverse. But it's longer than every other midsize SUV! (Contrary to the comments in the video, the CX-9 is LARGER than either the Telluride (196.9") or the Palisade (196.1".) But in terms of interior passenger and cargo space, it's DEFINITELY "not the biggest." Not only does the CX-9 rank dead last among all mainstream 3 row SUVs, it has less cargo and passenger space than the smallest midsize 3 row SUV (the KIA Sorento) a vehicle that's nearly a foot less in length than the CX-9. Even worse, it has less total cargo space than a Honda CR-V!
An aging engine that requires premium fuel to deliver 252 HP. Otherwise, its 227 HP trails every other midsize 3 row SUV by a considerable margin. A similarly long-in-the-tooth 6 speed transmission compared to that of recently developed rivals. Dated electronics and a small sunroof. A cramped interior compared to rivals coupled with a length that's among the largest in the entire segment. Is it surprising that the CX-9 ranks 25th in sales among midsize SUVs (2 and 3 row) ? Outsold by every mainstream 3 row midsize SUV as well as by several luxury vehicles.
The CX-9 remains an attractive vehicle. Mainly as a result of its excessive length between the front bumper and the firewall, a design trick used by designers for nearly a century to imply, power, performance, and potency. (Freud provides one explanation for that implication.) But it trails the competition in terms of its "U(tility)" in the SUV category. And since it was introduced in 2017, the CX-9 has made very, very few enhancements. A new design is clearly warranted.
aaahhhh, imagine a rear end crash. The third row seaters' heads are awfully close to the window. Good grief!
A really nice vehicle. So why do most people buy the Highlander?
Unrelated but 9:01 was show at University Endowment Lands near UBC right?
I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5. I believe the CX-9 has the same engine. It has burned engine oil from day one and getting progressively worse. I looked up and found a bulletin for my car to be repaired. I took it in and they agreed that my car fell under that bulletin according to the VIN but, that I had to wait for the engine light to come on. By my calculation that won't happen until one oil change after my warranty is up. Don't take a chance and buy Mazda’s. They don't stand by their product unlike Honda. Mazda will do whatever it takes to avoid paying to fix the problem, even when they themselves admit that there's a problem. My advice, stick to Hondas and Toyotas. I’ve had problems with their cars in the past but, they always fixed my warranty issues without question and after that they ran forever. Don’t fall for talking point that Toyota and Mazda are now collaborating and even use the same assembly line. It means nothing. There's a class action lawsuit against them (Haven't responded). I personally have filed with the Mazda, BBB, Attorney General, and a consumer agency. It's been two weeks and nothing. I'm lining up a lawyer as my last resort. Don't go through this hell, buy a Toyota or Honda instead.
Keep copying and pasting your comment it does nothing lol go to your dealer burning oil is normal
The old couples with dogs in the beginning always appear in your video
Thanks for the review.
The highlander from Toyota does come in none hybrid with the 3,5 v6 engine so not a good comparison to the cx9
7 passenger seating? Was that a mistake? Is this not a 6 passenger suv?
Thanks
Cx9 is longer than the telluride so not sure how it would give you a small car feel, thing is huge
This thing still has a 6 speed??
Zack, if you had 40k for a SUV with all these options, which one would you buy and why?
Can we put it in M for manual ?
for 2021 models, CX9 wins over the Toyota Highlander as there are issues with the Highlander
How are they now after 5 years with there body problems?
Problem with electrifocation is the infrastructure. Car companies cam put out all electric cars all they want but if u dont have a lot of fast, reliable and reasonbly priced chargers it is useless. Still may stance is that car companies perfect the hybrid system. Government should 1st improve charging facilities. I aint buying electric cars when here in Manitoba ive probably seen charging ports in winnipeg amd 1 in brandon. Thats a whopping 2.5 hr away from each other
the only reason that I dislike the video was comparing with wrong cars, the other thing was perfectly useful. the car you compared with are much lower than Mazda
Thanks for telling cars in Vancouver.
Why still 6 speed?
I read where the CX5 drives better. Is that true?
Is it really a touchscreen? I thought you had to use the knob.
Mazda is behind then8 ball. They need to step it up. Kia and Hyundai are killing it.
Best suv on the market.drives like a sports sedan
My 2014 Mazda CX9 has a faulty water pump supposedly how did they correct this problem from the newer ones
I believe it's an external water pump and Mazdas own design 4 cylinder. The previous generation used a Ford V-6.
I was going to get rx 350 but I looked into fuelly and don't like mpg of rx. . Cx9 mazda a little better mpg and also cheaper and also reliable from what I have read. What is the difference between 2018,19 and 2021 cx9? Looking to buy used one. Will this suv be too big for 2 adults and a 90lbs dog? Dont need the 3rd row, so I feel we will be paying for 3rd row when we don't need it... drove the cx5 but did not like it much, too small in my opinion. Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank u.
Also looking at venza. We are looking for an suv pretty much.
depends on your situation. the CX-9 is 200 in long. if your living situation allows for longer cars, then the extra space isn't that "big," and your dog would love the room. maybe get the one with the bench seat.
@@twystedhumour thank u
Why not a 8 speed transmission
The Kia offers the dual clutches stay away from the dual clutches folks they can be costly. They do not have a good track record they break often and can cost you 7 to 8 thousand in repairs..
But in real 5 seat Crv has more cargo volume from back to front seat, head shoulder room than 7 seat cx9:(
Really hot! And the CX-9’s nice too. 😏
8 speed needed anr and ambient light
