2011 Mazda CX-7 New High Performance and Model

The Mazda CX-7 receives an all-new platform instead of sharing the Ford/Mazda CD3 platform used by the larger Mazda CX-9/Ford Edge/Lincoln MKX crossovers as well as the Mazda6. It uses the front suspension of the Mazda MPV minivan, with the rear suspension from the Mazda5. Many of the all wheel drive components come from the Mazda CX7 speed6. It shares its turbocharged engine with the Mazdaspeed6. It uses a 6-speed automatic transmission. The CX-7 currently slots between the Tribute and the CX-9. The CX-7 is built in Hiroshima, Japan, starting in early 2006. The CX-7 was shown publicly for the first time at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show in January. Production officially began on February 20 at Mazda's Ujina#2 factory in Hiroshima. The CX-7 went on sale in spring 2006 as a 2007 model. It is also Mazda's first mid-size SUV since the Navajo was discontinued in 1994.

The 2011 Mazda CX-7 is as exhilarating to drive as it is to look at thanks to a high-tech powertrain that�s as advanced as it is well-matched. Providing all the power is a 244-hp* all-aluminum 2.3-liter MZR engine that�s turbocharged, intercooled and even direct-injected to further boost torque, improve combustion and enhance fuel economy. To help you make the most of all that power, under the CX-7�s stylish hood, Mazda engineers added an advanced 6-speed Sport AT automatic transmission. With a best-of-bothworlds design that includes a sport-shift mode to give you the added control, and fun, of manually shifting gears but without the need of a clutch. The end result is a powertrain without equal. And fun-to-drive performance without compromise.

Everything about the Mazda CX-7�s bold, athletic styling promises an exhilarating driving experience. And its impressive engineering doesn�t disappoint. Propelling the CX-7 past ordinary Crossover SUVs is an advanced 244-hp* 2.3-liter all-aluminum engine that�s turbocharged, intercooled and direct-injected. Translating all that power into meaningful performance is a smooth 6-speed Sport AT automatic transmission with a sport-shift mode for added control and fun. Plus a sport-tuned, 4-wheel independent suspension to promote superb handling and ride dynamics. Also standard are 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS to help ensure linear, fade-resistant stopping power. As well as four 235/60R18 all-season radials encircling 18-inch alloys to help keep you anchored to the asphalt. So while sports-sedan-inspired performance is only half the picture, it helps make CX-7 twice as attractive.

The 2011 Mazda CX7 Engine and transmission. The MZR 2.3L DISI turbo engine found in the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 has been retuned in the North American-Spec CX-7 to deliver torque at a lower RPM for less turbo lag off the line. This was achieved thanks to a redesigned, smaller KO4 turbocharger. UK-Spec CX-7's feature the same, larger KO4 turbocharger and transmission found in the Mazdaspeed line. Power comes from the same 2.3 L straight-4 MZR engine used in the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 coupled with a 6 speed Aisin automatic transmission, and tuned to produce 244 hp or 182 kW (Australian model 175 kW) at 5000 RPM and 258 ft�lbf (350 N�m) of torque at a low 2500 rpm, 99% of the maximum torque is available to 5000 rpm.

The Mazda CX-7�s meticulously well-crafted cabin is designed to immerse five adults, and their cargo, in meaningful style and comfort. With attention to detail that invites and rewards your closest scrutiny. Take the Grand Touring�s interior, for example. Contrasting the rich, warm contours of its leather-trimmed seats are handsomely textured accent stripes. Elegant, Piano Black cabin accents complete the look. 2011 Mazda CX7 Both Touring and Grand Touring models include these additional refinements: An 8-way power-adjustable driver�s seat with adjustable lumbar support. Heated front seats. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. And, of course, leather-trimmed seats. Yet, there is also much to be said about the things that all CX-7 models share.


Don�t let the 2011 Mazda CX-7�s sensuous styling fool you. Beneath its sleek silhouette beats the practical heart of an all-purpose SUV. For example, a quick pull on the handy remote releases in the cargo area, and the Mazda CX-7�s versatile 60/40 split rear seatbacks conveniently fold down nearly doubling available cargo space to a generous 58.6 cu ft. Which allows you to transport everything from outdoor gear and luggage to home electronics and office equipment.* And all without the hassles of removing any headrests. Other equally astute design touches include the center console�s lockable storage compartment and a built-in 12-volt outlet that makes recharging a snap. Plus an array of well-placed cup holders, bottle holders and other storage areas to further enhance cabin utility. So while SUV practicality and versatility are only half the picture, they make CX-7 twice as attractive. Please remember to properly secure all cargo.
