Mazda CX-7 specifications, description and model cost

The most important criterion by which every person judges any car is the technical characteristics. Mazda CX-7 is a very stylish and presentable crossover, which was produced by the Japanese concern from 2006 to 2012. However, in addition to an interesting appearance, he has some more features that need to be told.

Production start

The CX-7 is a car that combines a bright, sporty design with a high level of comfort and uncommon dynamics. The developers of the Japanese concern managed to create such a car of the SUV class, which was liked by fans of fast driving.

In general, the exterior is the main highlight of this car. The radiator grille, smoothly flowing into the hood, expressive front wings, a rearward-clattered windshield, tapering side windows, beautiful optics - all this creates a unique image. A large, located below the air intake, is not only an element of the exterior, but also a detail that helps to cool a powerful engine.

The interior of the interior is also made sporty. The shift lever and steering wheel are upholstered in leather, and the instruments are placed in deep wells. By the way, the panel seems to consist of two levels. On one is the dashboard, and on the second is the on-board computer screen.

Even more attention should be paid to the seats. All of them are very comfortable, moderately soft and comfortable. And the front seats are equipped with pronounced lateral support. They are also separated by a high central tunnel. The rear row can be folded in the proportions of 60/40, so you can get a lot of space for luggage.

What's under the hood

Now you can talk more about the technical characteristics of the Mazda CX-7. The first models under the hood were a 4-cylinder 2.3-liter engine, equipped with direct fuel injection, intercooler and turbine. It produced a power of 244 horsepower. And, thanks to such an aggregate, the car accelerated to "hundreds" in less than 8 seconds.

This motor is driven by a 6-speed "mechanics". But the Mazda CX-7 2008 is also offered with an "automatic".

It should be noted that in the Russian market this model was offered in two trim levels. This version of Sport and Touring. Such models boast 6 airbags, "climate", ABS, "cruise", stabilization system, emergency braking assistance and brake force distribution function. But this is basic equipment. In the above-mentioned trim levels, leather interior, xenon optics, a powerful audio system and access to the interior without a key are also offered.

Further production

Time passed, technologies developed, and updated versions of the model came out. The line of offered engines has expanded, the previous technical characteristics have improved. The Mazda CX-7 was offered with a more powerful engine. Its volume was 2.3 liters, but it produced 260 "horses". This unit was put into motion by a 6-step "mechanics".

Which version had the weakest specifications? Mazda CX-7 2.5 became such a model. Its power was only 163 horsepower. But it was completed with a "machine". True, there was only a year - from 2011 to 2012.

In addition to these versions, there were two more - with engines at 173 and 238 hp. respectively.

Other updates

Models produced from 2009 to 2012, had a richer package than the previous cars. They boast of a refreshed dashboard, a 4.1-inch LCD display, a good stereo system, a "climate", a CZ, electric mirrors and power windows. Even the front seats were installed with the function of heating, which is to say about the presence of a radio and a trip computer. By the way, the driver's seat is equipped with memory settings.

How much does the Mazda CX-7 cost? The price of the all-wheel-drive model for 2012 is about 800-900 thousand rubles. In this case it will be in good condition and with a powerful 238-horsepower engine under the hood. Naturally, the maximum configuration is also included. Models of earlier years of release may cost about 400-600 thousand rubles. The final price depends on the configuration, engine and vehicle condition.

End of production

In 2012, SH-7 ceased to be produced. The demand for it fell. Especially since there was a novelty - Mazda CX-5. This compact crossover immediately won the hearts of tens of thousands of fans of the Japanese concern. Interestingly, this car - the first car, released in a series, the design of which was created in accordance with the ideology of the "spirit of movement."

The Russian buyer is provided with 9 variants of the model to choose from. The most powerful Mazda CX-5 is offered with a 2.5-liter engine producing 192 horsepower. By the way, this motor is put only on all-wheel drive models. But there are versions in which only the first wheels are involved.

I must say that this novelty quickly became popular. And this is not surprising. A fast, dynamic, attractive car, which received 5 stars in Euro NCAP safety tests, just can not go unnoticed. By the way, the cost of the new CX-5 with the most powerful engine is about 2 million rubles.
