The 2017 Mazda CX-9 has proven its worth once again as it bags the annual "Wheels Car Of The Year" award. The 2017 Mazda CX-9 went up against some of the best vehicles in the industry but it was able to achieve victory after a fierce battle.

The Annual 'Wheels Car Of The Year' Event

The "Wheels Car of the Year" is an annual event that started in 1963 where the top vehicles in the auto industry compete in terms of function, value, efficiency, technology and safety. According to report, the event was participated by a total of 28 vehicles that have been narrowed down to six contenders. Among those that made it to the top of the list include the Volkswagen Tiguan, Subaru Impreza, Holden Astra, Mercedes-Benz E Class, Audi A4 and the Mazda CX-9, which also happens to be the biggest of them all.

Earning The Coveted Award

The 2017 Mazda CX-9 was able to score high in terms of versatility and affordability. In addition, the 2017 Mazda CX-9 also gained added points thanks to its interior styling and technology features including the automatic braking system. It was mentioned that the vehicle has a few minor issues particularly in the braking distances and the steering but this did not stop the 2017 Mazda CX-9 from proving itself to be the best vehicle in its segment.

Mazda's Eighth 'Wheels Car Of The Year' Award

Apparently, this is not the first time that the Japanese automaker has won the "Wheels Car of the Year" award. Reports state that this is the eighth time that Mazda has won the coveted title. This puts the Mazda behind the Holden, which has won the title 10 times. The mere fact that Mazda has won this award many times says a lot about the Japanese automaker. The 2017 Mazda CX-9 is certainly one vehicle to be reckoned with and definitely one choice to be highly considered for those that are looking to get themselves a good reliable vehicle.
