Sporty and agile

The MZR 2.3-litre direct-injection turbo petrol engine delivers 260 PS of power and 380Nm of torque. With Active 4-Wheel Drive, that power is always under your control.

This is the same powertrain as our Mazda3 MPS and Mazda6 MPS sports cars. No wonder, then, that the Mazda CX-7 accelerates from 0-62mph in only 8.0 seconds. And it delivers a superior balance between refined, linear acceleration and lively, aggressive response at all speeds.

The six-speed manual transmission features a compact,  short shift design, while a wide gear ratio setting means you can really make the most of the engine’s power. Sixth gear is laid out as overdrive, which optimises fuel consumption and lowers engine noise during high speed driving on the motorway.

Confident and responsive

When accelerating, braking or cornering, you need to know that your car is perfectly under your control. The Mazda CX-7 gives you that kind of confidence.

The four-wheel ventilated disc brake system forms the basis for the anti-lock brake system (ABS), electronic brake assist (EBA), traction control system (TCS) and dynamic stability control (DSC), which are standard equipment.

All these technologies combine with the intelligent four-wheel drive system to enhance stability during oversteer, understeer, heavy braking and sideways slip.

In other words, handling always feels stable, even at high speeds. Hydraulic power steering offers an assured, responsive drive, while the highly rigid body feels brisk, nimble and steady through corners.
