The CX-7 is the smaller of
Mazda’s two crossover utility vehicles (CUVs). Introduced for the 2007 model year, it is largely unchanged for 2008. The CX-7 is a 5-passenger vehicle aimed at buyers of sport sedans who need more space and SUV/CUV owners who want a vehicle with more style. Though designed in conjunction with the
Ford Edge and larger Mazda
CX-9 SUVs, the CX-7 is an entirely different product, heralded by a sharply raked windshield and Mazda
RX-8-inspired front styling, big alloy wheels, and a 244-hp turbocharged engine. The CX-7 is available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). With the rear seats folded down, it has 58.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Properly equipped, the CX-7 can tow up to 2000 pounds.
