2007 MAZDA CX-7: A HIGH-STYLED CROSSOVER SUV WITH
THE SOUL OF A SPORTSCAR
http://media.ford.com/images/large/Mazda/Mazda_CX7.jpg


2007 Mazda CX-7


LOS ANGELES – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced details of its much-anticipated upcoming 2007 Mazda CX-7 crossover sport-utility vehicle (SUV). The company also confirmed that the car will make its public debut at the upcoming Greater Los Angeles Auto Show here, and the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2006.

The Mazda CX-7 is the first of three all-new Mazda vehicles that are being designed and engineered specifically for the North American market.

Mazda’s five-seat CX-7 is a refreshing departure from the fleet of traditional SUV ’ s currently plying American roads. Produced on entirely Mazda-derived platform architecture, Mazda CX-7 embodies an astute blend of sports car verve and SUV practicality, resulting in a fun-to-drive SUV with Mazda’s trademark “Soul of a Sportscar” . It is a vehicle that brings together performance and design like never before. The Mazda CX-7 is just right for adventurous couples driven by the urge for discovery.

“The North American market continues to play a pivotal role in Mazda Motor Corporation’s global future,” said Jim O’Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO. “Vehicles such as CX-7, designed and engineered specifically for the North American market, will make Mazda an important and influential force in the industry . This vehicle represents everything a Mazda SUV should be: powerful, great styling , detailed craftsmanship and fun to drive. Mazda at its finest” .

The distinctive exterior design of the Mazda CX-7 is an extension of the sports car motif influenced by the 1995 RX-01 and 2005 MX-Crossport concept vehicles. In addition, CX-7’s strong emotional styling shows its family resemblance to the RX-8 sports car. Prominent front fenders, A-pillars rooted at the body’s leading edge, and Mazda’s signature five-pointed grille clearly register this new model as a Mazda. The 18- inch aluminum wheels and tires proclaim Mazda CX-7’s Zoom-Zoom intentions and immediately signal that this is a vehicle built for drivers .

An interior design , also previewed by the MX-Crossport concept , fulfills every car enthusiast’s innate desire to jump in and drive. The three- dial instrument cluster, sports car inspired high-mounted shifter and fo rm-fitting front bucket seats are configured for spirited motoring. The instrument panel consists of a unique ‘double-roof’ structure, in which a small ‘roof’ over the meter cluster is positioned just in front of a large ‘roof’ that extends across the entire instrument panel. The 60-40 split rear seat accommodates three adults in comfort and quickly converts to an extension of the 29.9 -cu. ft. cargo hold, bringing total cargo capacity up to 58.6- cu. ft . The 39-inch-long rear compartment (seats up) offers more stowage space than some larger SUVs.

Matching the sporty appearance is Mazda CX-7’s powerful and dynamic performance. Mazda CX-7 is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.3-liter four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine that produce s 244-horsepower at 5,000 rpm. While key powertrain features are shared with the recently launched MAZDASPEED 6 , the Mazda CX-7 is exclusively tuned to deliver 258 lb-ft of torque at a remarkably low 2, 5 00 rpm, and at least 99-percent of the maximum torque available all the way to the 5,000 rpm horsepower peak. With Mazda’s six-speed Sport AT transmission, CX-7 performs as if there’s an engine twice the size under the hood. Furthermore, the Mazda CX-7 delivers an estimated 23 mpg in combined driving.

A sturdy unitized body structure, fully independent suspension, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with standard four-wheel anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) , Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS), underlie Mazda CX-7’s athletic road manners. Customers may select the driveline best suited to their needs: F ront-Wheel Drive or Mazda’s Active Torque-Split All-Wheel Drive . With Active Torque-Split All-Wheel Drive , a computer-controlled coupling feeds up to 50-percent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels for exceptional handling whether the driving conditions are dry and fast or slippery and paced.

Mazda CX-7 arrives in the spring of 2006 as a 2007 model.

But only if you completely forget the Nissan Murano and the Infinity FX.

sports car inspired high-mounted (automatic) shifter

Weak. If you're going to have two pedals, and call it sports car inspired, it better be an SMG.

I'm not panning the vehicle. I'm panning the marketing. Let's call a truck a truck, a car a car and a wierd car-like SUV thingy a minivan, 'cause as much as it gets some people's manhoods in a bunch, that's what most of the SUV's out there are.

I've had the official Canadian spec document on the CX-7 for about 10 days now. I was told to keep it confidential until January, but since thye are releasing the info I will share :)

Its actually 258 ft-lbs or torque at 2000 RPM with a very serious 1st gear, this thing should rocket off the line. If you have any questions ask away!!

The power band on the CX-7 is tuned for the 3900lbs vehicle. The application for the MS3 will be slightly different. The figure I heard was 253 HP.

The CX-7 will blow the Murano out of the water. There is no comparison between the two, especially if you enjoy driving. The CX-7 will perform like a Infiniti FX-35. The price proably will be a little cheaper because the CX-7 is classified as a compact SUV (even though it is big for a compact) and the Murano is mid-size SUV.

The numbers are not mixed up. Its actually 2000 to 5000 RPM. The MS6 is 2500 to 5500 RPM. There is a dyno sheet on the Mazda6 club forum. Nobody has used this type of technology before it is awesome!!

Yes, Mazda didn't invent it, but they seemed to have perfected it. The Direct Injection Spark Ignition system is the key to all the low end torque.

this is a very nice SUV. I like the lines and the agressive front.
This is an SUV i would get if i had to get an SUV like when i start a family. I think that it has a lot of potential to grab a lot of marketshare; there is no inspiring SUV in its price-range. All the cheap SUVs are ugly and the nice ones (Cheyenne, Touareg) are priced too high.

This is definitely my type of people mover.

I believe VW only uses DI in there diesel models, hence the TDI or Turbo Direct Injection. More power and less emissions, whats not to love?

Exactly what I was thinking..... MAZDA MURANO

FWD, RWD, AWD? The 250ft/lbs of torque might be swallowed up by the extra weight....if they go AWD the performance will be decreased even further due to parasitic loss from the drivetrain.

30k? I'll stick my my 05 STi :) ...Though I have to admit Mazda has it in the bag in the design department. Very sexy looking cars.

Keep in mind that the 258 ft-lbs of torque are at 2000 RPM, not 4400 RPM like the murano. Combine that with the agressive 6-speed tranny and the flat torque curve all the way past 5000 RPM will make for decent performance. I expect it to run about a 15 flat 1/4 mile. Thats competitive with the Infiniti FX45 which is double the price in Canada. And it will blow the doors off the Murano. :)

"Mazda CX-7 is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.3-liter four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine "

Is this the same engine in the mazda3? just non turbo charged? Or did they change it to where its direct fuel injected?

All i'm wonderin is if the 2.3 engine for the mazda 3 is direct fuel injected too?

I'm going to wait until somebody totals one. Then I'll descend like a vulture and snap up the engine. I've got some ideas for what I want to do with it....(RX-8 swap). The renesis engine is just not doing it for me. I'd like to pick up a high-mileage RX-8 or one with a blown engine and then (with a lot of custom work, I'm sure) swap this engine in and tune it.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't see why anyone would want a manual tranny on an SUV. There were a couple of guys complaining on another board as well. I'm guessing Mazda didn't offer a manual because a very small percentage of actual CX-7 buyers would purchase it. Probably not worth the cost to change the production line over.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't want a manual in anything, but I wouldn't buy one in an SUV.

Now that is not true at all, some people would like automatics for good resons. Like i will only buy an automatic because I am a trucker and when i get home I want a break from the clutch.So because i want an automatic does not mean I am dumb.

I can't wait for the automotive press (AutoWeek, C&D, R&T, Edmunds, Speed Channel, etc.) to do a side by side comparison with the new Toyota RAV4 with the 3.5L V6. All the numbers seem to indicate that the Toyota is larger, more powerful, more torque, better fuel economy, and uses 87 octane (CX-7 requires 91 octane). I think that's important given the gas prices and most will have it as their daily driver. The CX-7 has a turbo charged engine and from experience any F/I engine (Turbo or SC) won't last as long as a normally aspirated engine. Depending on how they are equipped, I think the RAV4 even has a lower sticker price. But the proof will be on the tracks. I'm sure the RAV4's base and Limited will have a much softer suspension than the CX-7 but the RAV4 Sport has 18" wheels and stiffer suspension so I'd be very interested to see how they compare.

Mazda3
01-24-2006, 11:12 AM
Actually the RAV4 is smaller and has far less torque. RAV4 is 3670lbs, the CX-7 AWD is 3920lbs. The RAV4 has a fairly impressive 246 ft-lbs of torque, but not until 4700 RPM. The CX-7 has 258 ft-lbs of torque at a very impressive 2000 RPM. The torque curve is perfectly flat from 2000-5000 RPM producing fantastic pull up to 5500 RPM where the auto will shift into the next gear and never drop out of the peak torque range. The CX-7 also has a very agressively geared 6-speed transmission compared to the 5-speed in the RAV4. Because of the weight disadvantage and the impressive numbers I've seen from the RAV4 I will expect the acceleration numbers to be about equal. The driving dynamics on the CX-7 of course will be far superior as will the brakes. I think both vehicles will sell extremely well.

Just to let u know Mazda is for sure not the one to use Direct injection "MZR", and VW/AUDI don;t just use Direct injection in their TDI cars. They have what is call "FSI", like thier 2.0L FSI Turbo engine use in, i don;t know alot of their cars now. and all their engines are pretty much using FSI now.

But one question i would like to ask. Why does the Mazda MZR 2.3L tubro engine use abt the same gas or more as a VW/Audi V6 FSI engine?

All else being equal, power is postitively correlated with amount of fuel and engine consumes. Turbos allow smaller displacement engines to increase O2 in the cylinder therefore allowing the addition of more fuel while maintaining the A/F mixture near ideal. The only reason a turboed car would use less fuel (than a similar NA car with the same HP) would be if it opperated most of the time off boost, and therefore acting as an NA motor. The Audi 3.2L V6 produces 255HP & 243ft-lb vs. 244HP & 258ft-lbs for the CX-7.

In a 3700 pound car, a 2.3L motor is going to spend a lot of time "in the boost" especially with torque figures of 258ft-lbs at 2000RPM.

Any news about the CX-9?
The new MPV is out in Japan. Do you have any words that it would come to the US with the AWD version?

The reason why I ask about the CX-9 and the new MPV is that I hope that the CX-9 will not just be an alternative to the MPV. I like the look of the new MPV, and a lower center gravity car for safety reason. Of course, there are consumers here in the US with that kind of brain cells that need something like that. Toyota has got it Sienna with AWD for quite some time in the US. I've driven the Sienna, and it's quite not a feast to be in: even I, the driver, get dizzy after a few aggressive turns. Let's not even mention the aesthetic package of the Sienna: one word, bland as my grand-father's car. This day and age, we need something invigorating and exhilarating look. The Odyssey doesn't have it either: it just has the name. The new MPV has it all: agressive look yet stylish, and with up-to-date features such as HID, AWD, and etc...

Sorry, I couldn't find a topic with both the CX-9, and the new MPV. So I figure out that I'll post it along with the upcoming CX-7. (poke)

Any news about the CX-9?
The new MPV is out in Japan. Do you have any words that it would come to the US with the AWD version?


The new MPV is Japanese market only.

As for the CX-9, I've been told NY autoshow.

It looks like Mazda has moved its market to Hong Kong, and even named the new MPV as a Mazda8. Great name, I think. I think it's a good name that is worthy from the Mazda3. And it's been a while that Mazda should offer something against the Sienna AWD. It's about time to wake up, man.

I hope that if it comes here in the US unlike the Mazda5 (i.e. without great options). But as things are done here in the US, the Mazda8 fully loaded with AWD will make perfect sense. A cheap and contentless Mazda5, and a bigger fully loaded Mazda8 with AWD system. If it comes here, I think Mazda is really on the track to success. I really like Mazda's works for offering such cars in the market in the US such as Mazda3, Mazda5, Miata, RX-8, and the new CX-7. If I have the money and the space in my garage, I'll own each one of them since they are different masterpieces (although the Mazda3 interior designs should learn some lessons from VW such as lighting, and ergonomics), and different cars. But since I don't, I'll have to be really really REALLY selective.

I'm really in to the new MPV, or Mazda8. I holding my purchase for this one, hopefully. I can't wait to get a bigger hatchback with turbo and AWD for winter, well you can call it minivan. I'll give the mini one to my wife (i.e. Mazda3). The CX-7 is great, but I don't need the height. Furthermore, there's not enough space. The future CX-9 is also great because it has the space, but the height and weight are not my piece of cake. Please bring the Mazda8 here.

Anyway, Toyota and Honda are going hybrid now. So, Mazda can come here with great styling, handling, and luxury content such as HID and etc...

I almost picked me up that bad boy today, I took it for a test drive and i was feeling the power that it had but i did not like the body and color. I might decide i want a black one with black rims later on and see if mazda could get me one.

It has the sme engine as a mazda speed, you think they would do some thing different for a 09 cx-7.
