Drive confidently in a capable Mazda CX-9 SUV from Borgman
Borgman Mazda knows how unpredictable the weather can be in Grand Rapids and West Michigan. That’s why we’re proud to offer the capable Mazda CX-9, packed with features that help drivers all over go confidently into the ever-changing weather.
This article written on InsideMazda describes four of the many features you’ll find inside a New Mazda CX-9 SUV, and showcases them against the typical weather conditions of the four seasons.
Here are some highlights from the article:
A crossover SUV must be steadfast, reliable and comfortable enough to drive to work or across the country, no matter what Mother Nature has in store. So, of course, Mazda’s engineers created the midsize CX-9 to be a master of all four seasons.
Winter
Confident drivers are safer drivers, so the Mazda CX-9 comes equipped with a predictive All-Wheel Drive system called i-ACTIV, which is designed to inspire confidence, whether driving in snow or on dry pavement. The predictive AWD system monitors 27 different driving variables, including traction control, the angle of the steering wheel, and even how often you are using the windshield wipers.
Spring
Springtime driving conditions can be extremely variable. Heavy rains, late snow and sunshine can all be forecasted in a single day. Drivers need to know that no matter the climate conditions, they’ll be able to confidently pilot their vehicle to their next destination. To help keep occupants safe under low visibility conditions, CX-9 offers Mazda’s unique i-ACTIVSENSE suite of safety innovations. For example, Smart City Brake Support uses infrared radar to cut engine power and prime the braking system if a potential collision is detected and will apply the brakes if necessary.
Summer
Summers are full of road trips, which means drivers will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the powerful and fuel-efficient drivetrain in the CX-9. Drivers won’t have to worry about passing vehicles on the highway or climbing a steady grade. With an ample 310 lb-ft of torque delivered almost instantaneously from its turbocharged 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G engine, CX-9 can keep climbing any mountain road less traveled while towing a trailer, jet skis or whatever an active family may have in mind for a summer excursion.
Fall
As it gets darker earlier in the fall, drivers will appreciate the standard LED headlights and tail lights on the Mazda CX-9. They’re nearly 35-percent brighter than a standard halogen unit and can throw light 10-percent farther than a comparable xenon HID headlight, shining brighter, clearer and more efficiently.

All-New 2018 Ford F-150: Coming this fall to Borgman Ford in Grand Rapids, MI
Borgman Ford is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the newly-redesigned 2018 Ford F-150 to our showroom in Grand Rapids, MI this fall. One of the things we’re most excited about is the fresh new redesign, which communicates visually what any Ford F-150 owner will tell you: “It’s tough.”
As many have pointed out, the design of the New F-150 grille is a faithful nod to its F-Series roots. This article published in the Official Ford Media Center explores some of the different influences on the 2018 Ford F-150’s design, and F-Series heritage was one of them. Read more about this and other facets of the Built Ford Tough design DNA below and download the latest fact sheet.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Along with the new 2018 F-150’s more powerful engine lineup, high-strength materials and class-exclusive technologies, its new exterior design conveys a relentless focus on innovation while paying homage to nearly 70 years of the purpose-built, work-tested Built Ford Tough brand promise.
For 2018, F-150 takes signature F-Series design language to new levels by building on its solid billet-milled visual cues and broad stance, while harmonizing with the all-new Super Duty lineup.
According to Ford truck designers, creating the next chapter in Built Ford Tough design comes down to three main concepts – understanding F-Series design heritage, knowing the wants and needs of Ford truck customers, and applying a dose of craftsmanship where pen meets paper.
“We call our F-Series customers ‘bold guardians of the brand,’” says Ford truck design chief Gordon Platto. “These customers know our Built Ford Tough DNA, and they want their trucks to convey strength, capability, boldness and power – without being ‘in your face’ aggressive.”
The team meets multiple times with truck owners throughout the design process in an effort to understand how they use their trucks and what they want in terms of features and style. Recent immersions involved designers, engineers and product marketers embedding with owners to gain a deep understanding of customer routines and develop owner personas to refine Built Ford Tough design DNA.
