2017 Mazda CX-9 first view

Mazda's all-new CX-9 is the latest model to benefit from the brand's Kodo 'Soul of Motion' design language. Unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it's a mid-size crossover with three rows of seats.

The CX-9 is primarily aimed at “more mature families” in North American markets who appreciate space, comfort and refinement. On that basis, Mazda is hoping for annual sales of 50,000 units.

Among the available engines will be the just-introduced Skyactiv-G 2.5T unit. As that name suggests, this is a high-compression 2.5 litre turbocharged gasoline motor which features direct fuel injection plus a cooled exhaust gas recirculation device.

Output is rated at 227 bhp (169 kW / 230 PS), while peak torque is a very decent 420 Nm (310 lb/ft). Performance and economy figures have yet to be published, though.

Deliveries of the 2017 CX-9 are due to begin during spring next year.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
