Attractive styling sets this crossover apart

Overview Information

The CX-7 is a small SUV-styled vehicle derived from a car platform. This makes it a crossover SUV, although it is doubtful many consumers will worry about the distinction. Characterized by curvy, attractive style, the CX-7 aims to bring Mazda's fun-to-drive quality to this style of vehicle. CX-7 is offered in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. All models are powered by a turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder with some reasonably impressive specifications (244hp@5000, 258lb-ft@2500). The interior features 2 rows of seats with seating for five.
