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 inch 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.
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
Comprehensively protected
No-one likes to think about the worst happening. With the Mazda CX-7's exhaustive set of active and passive safety features, you really don't have to. A finely tuned braking system, rigid body structure and excellent visibility ensure you're in control.
Safely cocooned
Designed using the Mazda Advanced Impact energy Distribution and Absorption System, the Mazda CX-7 provides high levels of safety in the event of a collision, from any direction. High-strength steel is used where appropriate, while sub-frame connections help to absorb collision energy.
For peace of mind and protection of all passengers there are six airbags - front and side for front occupants, plus curtain airbags for all occupants. Also standard are front seat belt pre-tensioners and load-limiters, which work in conjunction with the airbag system to offer maximum protection in the event of a collision.
