![]() Price From £Mazda CX-7Mazda CX-7 Photo GalleryMazda CX-7 OverviewThe new
Mazda CX-7 Sports Crossover delivers a truly unique driving experience by
combining drive characteristics more attuned to a sports car, with an imposing
road-presence and good everyday practicality. With a powerful and refined 173ps
turbo-diesel powertrain, the new Mazda CX-7 takes Mazda into a whole new sector
of the UK marketplace.
“In the
best Mazda tradition, our new Mazda CX-7 enables us to offer a distinctive
Sports Crossover that is different from the huge line-up of SUV-type vehicles
currently available. With its sporty appearance, new Mazda CX-7 is more heavily
orientated towards a sportscar in its styling and driving dynamics, while offering
an SUV-style commanding driving position and a strong road presence that
portrays Mazda’s ‘dare to be different’ brand identity,” comments Mazda UK’s
Sales and Marketing Director, Mark Cameron.
“The
Mazda CX-7’s new turbo diesel engine generates maximum torque of 400Nm from
only 2000rpm, with smooth power delivery and real punch from just 1600rpm, for
strong linear acceleration. Together with a five per cent stiffer bodyshell,
re-tuned suspension, revised gear ratios and lower cabin noise, new Mazda CX-7
is a remarkably refined and sporty driving experience,” adds Cameron.
Inside, the new Mazda CX-7 has generous space for five
occupants to travel in comfort, while the sports utility-style rear seat
functionality and generous boot space (455 litres with the rear seats upright),
makes this Mazda an ideal vehicle for multi-activity lifestyles.
The split rear seats can be folded 60/40 using Mazda’s
unique Karakuri system with a onetouch rear seat back release located in
the boot trim side panel. With the back seats folded, load space becomes 774
litres.
“I am convinced that there is still plenty of life in
the UK’s SUV segment and with the Mazda CX-7 delivering sporty handling and a
rewarding driving experience the new model sets us apart from our rivals.
“The new Mazda CX-7 is not
a huge vehicle designed for the country that will be brought into town – it is
a Sports Crossover with plenty of attitude, plenty of versatile ability and
great dynamics that out-perform the class. It is the ultimate expression of
‘Zoom-Zoom’ driving excitement in a sophisticated four-wheel-drive Sports
Crossover vehicle,” concludes Cameron.
Fine tuning the Mazda CX-7 for the UK Market
Manufactured in
Japan, the original Mazda CX-7 was hugely popular in the USA. For the European
and UK markets the car incorporated several significant changes to meet the
specific demands and tastes of local consumers.
The biggest changes
were to the power and drive trains. The 244ps engine marketed in the USA was
replaced by the highly efficient 260ps turbocharged four-cylinder petrol power unit
that also featured in the Mazda3 MPS super-hatch model. The Mazda CX-7’s
fully-independent suspension set-up was also retuned for European roads to
deliver handling agility that was unmatched in this class.
Now,
for the new Mazda CX-7, the focus switches to providing a diesel engine model
suited to the changing needs of the European market in this growing SUV segment.
Every new
Mazda CX-7 sold in the UK features
a 173ps, 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder MZR-CD diesel engine producing up
to 400Nm of torque from just 2000rpm, a six-speed manual transmission with an
‘overdrive’ top gear (0.711:1), and Mazda’s unique Active Torque four-wheel-drive
system, which distributes up to 50 per cent of engine torque to the rear wheels
to maintain traction.
This new Mazda offers
sensationally spirited performance, thanks to excellent levels of torque, to
deliver strong acceleration and a responsive drive, combined with genuine everyday practicality and remarkable
refinement. Meanwhile, combined fuel economy returns 37.7mpg while CO2
emissions are 199g/km.
Generous
Equipment, Spacious and Versatile Interior
New Mazda CX-7 has a more
dynamic ‘face’ with a larger five-point grille and chrome detailing, a chrome
garnish along the bottom of the doors, a larger rear spoiler, new design larger
19-inch alloy wheels and Xenon headlights.
