The Mazda CX-9 should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2023 2.5T 4WD: 420 N·m; 2023 2.5T 2WD: 420 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
