The GT sits high in the Mazda CX-9 line-up, just under the top-of-the-range Azami, and lists for $58,790 for the two-wheel drive and $62,790 for the all-wheel drive.

Standard features include an 8.0-inch touchscreen, sat nav, 12-speaker Bose stereo system, Bluetooth connectivity, push-button ignition, proximity key, three-zone climate control, leather upholstery, sunroof, LED auto headlights and fog lights, six-way power adjustable front seats, front and rear parking sensors, and 20-inch alloy wheels.

The CX-9 scored the maximum five-star ANCAP rating when it was tested in 2016. Coming standard even on this base grade is an impressive amount of advanced safety equipment including AEB (forward and rear), rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring.

All Mazda CX-9s come with a 2.5-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine which makes 170kW and 420Nm. With the six-speed automatic transmission. Mazda says the CX-9 should consume 91 RON at 8.4L/100km in the front-wheel drive and 8.9L/100km in the all-wheel drive during combined driving conditions.
