The 2014 Mazda CX-9 comes exclusively with a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine producing 273 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. This MZI engine features direct fuel injection, variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust cams, and an aluminum block and heads for weight savings. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. This powerplant provides adequate performance for the CX-9’s size, delivering smooth acceleration and reasonable fuel economy for a three-row SUV of this era.

The 2014 Mazda CX-9 shares most parts with the 2007-2015 first-generation CX-9 models. The 3.7L engine components are largely interchangeable across all these years, including major components like cylinder heads, blocks, and intake manifolds. Body panels, interior trim, and electrical components from 2010-2015 models offer the best compatibility due to mid-cycle refresh changes. Suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts are generally compatible across the entire 2007-2015 generation. However, some electronic modules and infotainment components may have year-specific programming requirements, so verification is recommended for these items.

The 3.7L V6 in the CX-9 is moderately reliable but has some known weak points. The timing chain system is the biggest concern, requiring attention around 100,000 miles to prevent catastrophic failure. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles with full synthetic oil help extend timing chain life. The direct injection system requires periodic intake valve cleaning to maintain performance. When properly maintained, these engines can reach 150,000+ miles, but neglected maintenance leads to expensive repairs. Overall, it’s a decent engine that requires proactive care rather than reactive repairs.
