The Mazda CX-9 is a three-row SUV that drives like a car rather than a truck — a turbocharged four instead of a V6, in a cabin above its price. We have 6 used CX-9s listed.
How much does a used Mazda CX-9 cost in the UAE?
A 2023 CX-9 averaged AED 63,000 in our UAE sales and a 2021 AED 56,000. Live asking prices run from AED 22000 for a late-2010s car up to AED 89750 for a recent one.
Which used Mazda CX-9 year should you buy?
2021 to 2023. The second-generation CX-9 arrived for 2016 with a 2.5-litre turbo replacing the old V6, and was updated in 2021 with a better interior and revised suspension before the CX-90 took over. The last cars are the most complete version of a finished nameplate; 2016 to 2018 examples are the cheapest way into a seven-seat Mazda.
Is a used Mazda CX-9 reliable in the UAE?
The mechanicals hold up; the panels do not. 73% of the CX-9s we inspect in the UAE show evidence of prior body or panel repair, against the 64% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage in the country. This is a school-run car in city traffic at a median of about 134,000 km — the Mitsubishi Pajero reads 59% and the Jeep Grand Cherokee 56%, so nearly everything in this class has been touched up. How well is the question on any given car.
Does the Mazda CX-9 hold its value?
Not as well as the class — about 47% of its value after five years, against roughly 55% for UAE SUVs and 53% across used Mazdas. The Toyota RAV4 keeps about 56%.
Mazda CX-9 or Toyota RAV4?
Be honest about seats. The RAV4 and the Nissan X-Trail are cheaper to run and stronger on value retention, but neither gives you a usable third row. Need seven seats and the CX-9 undercuts most alternatives; if you do not, the two-row rivals are the better buy.
What to inspect on a used Mazda CX-9
- Body and paint work on every panel — judge the standard, not the presence.
- Third-row and boot condition; it shows how hard the car worked.
- Turbo engine service history, oil changes especially.
- AC to the rear vents.
Every CX-9 in our UAE listings comes with its CarSwitch inspection report. Read the body section first — with this much repair history in the class, repair quality is the whole difference.
