Mazda Crossover Is Based on Ford Design
June 10th, 2008 | by admin |
The CX-9 is a Mazda Crossover which began selling in the crossover market last year. This vehicle is based on the Ford crossover platform. Many people assume that the CX-9 is basically the same vehicle as the CX-7 because of the name and the fact that they look similar. However, the differences in the foundation of the design make them truly different crossovers from one another.
Mazda Crossover Information
The Mazda Crossover CX-9 is really a full-sized SUV which retains more of the features of the SUV than of the car. People who have taken an interest in this car because it is marketed as a crossover may find themselves disappointed. It doesn’t have the smaller car handling features or other small car benefits that crossovers are supposed to have. That doesn’t mean the Mazda Crossover is a bad vehicle, just that it’s not a true crossover.
Other Mazda Crossover Car
The Mazda CX-9 is frequently assumed to be similar to another Mazda crossover, the CX-7. The CX-7 is a smaller car that is strikingly similar in appearance to the CX-9. However, despite these similarities in the style of the two vehicles, the Mazda CX-9 doesn’t actually contain a lot of the same basic design features of the smaller vehicle.
Based on the Ford Crossover
The reason that the Mazda crossover doesn’t actually retain the design foundation of the smaller vehicle is because it is based on a full-size SUV concept instead of a smaller car. The Ford crossover is the inspiration for the Mazda CX-9. It is built on the Ford Crossover CD3 platform.
