The perfect union

What do you get if you cross a Mazda sports car with an SUV?

The answer is the new Mazda CX-7. This innovative sports crossover offers a unique balance of performance and practicality, which makes it perfectly equipped for today’s demanding urban lifestyle.

You get the athletic design and 2.3-litre direct-injection turbo petrol engine of a true sports car. And you also get the superior levels of space, visibility, comfort and flexibility that you’d expect of an SUV. 

Sleek and assertive outside…

The athletic character is the first thing you notice. A front windshield more raked than many out-and-out sports cars. The aggressively styled lower air intake. A compact upper grille.

The front end is strong and sophisticated; the bonnet well-defined. You’ll then notice the flat roofline, an upward sweeping belt line and muscular bumpers guarding 18” wheels. At the back, the sporty theme continues with two large tailpipes and detailed round tail lights.

It all adds to the Mazda CX-7’s assertive road presence.

…sporty and stylish inside

Inside, the sports car-inspired cockpit shows the Mazda CX-7's keen sense of detail. The dashboard is pleasing and functional, set with an ergonomic and easy-to-read three-pod gauge cluster, which has red illuminated black-out meters and indirect blue ambient illumination for the centre console. Silver-finish trim frames the instruments, centre console and armrests.

Showing further sporty sophistication, the three-spoke, Mazda MX-5-inspired steering wheel and the gear knob of the six-speed manual transmission are covered in leather. The gear knob is positioned high to allow for sportier, quick-shift gear changes.

In short, this is a car to be admired – whether you’re looking in or out.

 

Sporty and agile

The MZR 2.3-litre direct-injection turbo petrol engine delivers 260 PS of power and 380Nm of torque. With Active 4-Wheel Drive, that power is always under your control.

This is the same powertrain as our Mazda3 MPS and Mazda6 MPS sports cars. No wonder, then, that the Mazda CX-7 accelerates from 0-62mph in only 8.0 seconds. And it delivers a superior balance between refined, linear acceleration and lively, aggressive response at all speeds.

The six-speed manual transmission features a compact,  short shift design, while a wide gear ratio setting means you can really make the most of the engine’s power. Sixth gear is laid out as overdrive, which optimises fuel consumption and lowers engine noise during high speed driving on the motorway.

Confident and responsive

When accelerating, braking or cornering, you need to know that your car is perfectly under your control. The Mazda CX-7 gives you that kind of confidence.

The four-wheel ventilated disc brake system forms the basis for the anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic brake assist (EBA), traction control system (TCS) and dynamic stability control (DSC), which are standard equipment.

All these technologies combine with the intelligent four-wheel drive system to enhance stability during oversteer, understeer, heavy braking and sideways slip.

In other words, handling always feels stable, even at high speeds. Hydraulic power steering offers an assured, responsive drive, while the highly rigid body feels brisk, nimble and steady through corners.
