Mazda's CX-9 has been updated for 2013, picking up a new face that brings the look of the big SUV in-line with the smaller CX-5 and the all-new Mazda6.

Making its world premiere at the Australian International Motor Show, the updated seven-seater picks up a brand-new grille and front bumper, along with updated headlights.

There's more here than a mere styling update however, with new standard features and updates joining the CX-9 for 2013.

Inside, the big SUV's infotainment system gets new audio, navigation and speech recognition technology.

New safety features have also been added, including Forward Obstruction Warning, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Control.

Power for the CX-9 will continue to be provided by the existing model's 3.7 litre V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission, producing 204kW and 367Nm of torque.

Watch for pricing and availability details in the near future.

    Hardly a guzzler, my wife gets high 10s low 11s around town in her CX9, similar figures to the latest Kia and Hyundai Diesels.
