Mazda has peeled the camouflage off its CX-9 large SUV and rolled it into the spotlight at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

But not only is it the long-awaited (or long-overdue, depending on your perspective) replacement for the decade-old CX-9, it’s also the final member of the Mazda family to receive the brand’s now-familiar Kodo design language.

It’s noteworthy for another reason too. Under its snout beats a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol four, the first turbo petrol engine in Mazda’s SkyActiv engine range, and the sole powertrain offering for the 2016 CX-9.

Unlike the current car, Mazda won’t be equipping the 2016 CX-9 with a large-displacement V6. Nor will it be fitting it with a turbodiesel option either. 

The turbo petrol four is all you can get. Want a diesel? Too bad, blame the anti-diesel prejudice of US car buyers - the core market for the Japanese-built CX-9. Stricter emissions laws in the US market also had a significant part to play.
