It has an a sporty five-point grille and wide, bold bumper. A horizontal streak of chrome floats on the front grille bar, giving a distinctive and high-quality feel.

The new CX-9 receives a Nagare-inspired exterior and interior. Wrapped from front to rear with subtle design cues that express the "embodiment of motion," the exterior of the latest CX-9 is sleek and sophisticated.

Key enhancements include larger, more aerodynamic side mirrors, rear garnish, which compliments the look of the front fascia design, rear combination lamps that mimic the same Nagare-inspired texture as the front lamps, while incorporating a new red lens at the bottom to show stability.
