I've been shopping CX-9s over the last month or so here in CO and asking dealers for info on the 2020 model changes and release date since the best they can do on the MSRP of the signature trim is about 7-9% off. I've gotten non-answers from most dealers but the rep at Schomp Mazda let me know that the 2020 would be coming out "soon", that Captain chairs on the second row would be an option, and that the color options weren't changing ( I was hoping for Deep crystal blue mica on the signature trim). That was three weeks ago. I hope the new CX-9 gets the updated infotainment system/screen. Who knows, for now we wait.
Well...the rest of the line up already has the new grill, seems one of the mid cycle changes that can be done...
And I hope they release a Mazda Connect v2.0...Its always the gripe on every Mazda review.

I was told today that there will be a leather color change for the Signature trim, Captain's chairs option for the second row, but that's all I was told so there may be additional changes. Hopefully some update to the infotainment graphics quality as well. Also was told that Dec 2019 for release of new cars
I have to imagine they'll be more changes than seen on the paper in the video. This should be a more thorough refresh rather than a few feature changes as it is mid-cycle. I'm certain they'll be the usual grill changes and such. The 1st Gen CX-9 went through 3 different front ends.
I have to say I fully didn't expect them to offer captains chairs in the CX-9. I figured if Mazda ever intended so, it would have been the case from the start. Personally, I enjoy having the bench with the 7 person capability vs 6.
Interesting that the Signature's Auburn leather is going away and being replaced by the walnut brown found in the Mazda 6 Signature.
When I looked at Telluride it seemed to approach $50k region with features similar to GT or Signature which are in low $40k range.
