New Mazda CX-7 Sports Crossover on the way
 

Mazda claims that their new CX-7 offers a combination of sports car handling combined with the practicality of a sports utility vehicle

Mazda say that the new Mazda CX-7 takes their brand??™s Zoom-Zoom philosophy beyond their sports cars and applies that same spirit and performance to a model which appeals to a very different audience and takes Mazda into a whole new sector of the marketplace.

The carmaker adds that the Mazda CX-7 is a ground-breaking new sports crossover vehicle that delivers sports car-style performance and handling, along with sports utility comfort and practicality ??“ all in one highly desirable package. They boast that this is a great new Mazda and they anticipate very strong demand.

The 258bhp turbocharged, all-wheel drive Mazda CX-7 will be available here as a single, highly-specified model. Standard equipment is expected to include leather seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlights, climate control air conditioning, cruise control, and a bespoke BOSE?® Premium audio system with 6-CD autochanger and nine speakers.

Each Mazda CX-7 is mechanically identical, with a 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing up to 380Nm of torque at just 3000rpm, a six-speed manual transmission and Mazda??™s unique Active Torque-Split 4WD system.

This new Mazda combines sensationally spirited performance ??“ top speed is 130mph and 0-60mph takes under 8.0 seconds ??“ with exhilarating dynamics and genuine everyday practicality (with a 455-litre cargo bay, all seats upright), and remarkable refinement. Mazda say it is the ultimate expression of ???Zoom-Zoom??™ driving excitement in a sophisticated crossover all wheel drive vehicle.
