A crossover produced by Mazda for model years 2007-2012. Its replacement was the slightly smaller CX-5, indicating that another CX-7 could return to the lineup in the future.

History

The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Mazda CX-7 page on 27 October 2018, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

The Mazda CX-7 is a mid-size crossover SUV from Mazda, and is the production version of the MX-Crossport concept car. It was shown publicly for the first time at the 2006 LA Auto Show in January. Production officially began on February 20, 2006 in Mazda's Ujina #2 factory in Hiroshima, and went on sale in April 2006 as a 2007 model. It was Mazda's first mid-size SUV, since the Navajo was discontinued in 1994. The CX-7 and the Mazda CX-9 do not share platforms. The CX-7 was discontinued in August 2012 in favor of the new Mazda CX-5.

The CX-7 features fully independent suspension, four wheel ventilated disc brakes with standard anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and traction control, and a choice of either front-wheel drive, or Mazda's Active Torque-Split all-wheel drive system. With the Active Torque Split system, two computer controlled magnetic clutches feed up to 50% of the engine's torque to the rear wheels.

The Australian combined cycle official fuel economy is 11.5 L/100 km (25 mpg‑imp; 20.5 mpg-US), similar to the Holden Captiva. But real world fuel economy is nearer to 18.0 L/100 km (15.7 mpg‑imp; 13.1 mpg‑US), as much or more than the Ford Territory.

As of the 2010 model, there are four trim levels (model), iSV, iSport, sTouring, and sGrand Touring in ascending equipment levels. Touring and Grand Touring models are available with all wheel drive and are offered with the 2.3L turbocharged engines. SV and Sport trims come with a 2.5 L MZR L5-VE naturally aspirated DOHC inline-four engine. Canadian models included GS Front Wheel Drive, GS All Wheel Drive, GT Front Wheel Drive, GT All Wheel Drive. Australian models (AWD only) included "CX-7 Classic" Base trim and "CX-7 Luxury" upper trim. UK models (AWD only) were not offered at the same time and included 2.3T and 2.2D 'Sport Tech'.

The front and rear exterior fascias were revised with the front adopting the larger five point grille design similar in appearance to the contemporary RX-8, MX-5 and Mazda3/Axela.

The interior gauges were revised, with blackout meters that featured three dimensional dials, a 3.5 inch super twisted nematic (STN) monochrome and 4.1 inch thin film transistor (TFT) color Multi Information Display (MID), (positioned at the top of the instrument panel), Bluetooth compatibility, and a Blind Spot Monitoring System.

The car was unveiled at the February 2009 Canadian International AutoShow. The diesel version included a manual transmission, and was sold in Europe from 2009 to 2012.
