Mazda CX-7: speed, safety, comfort

What happens if you combine a sporty Mazda and a practical crossover (SUV)?

The answer is the new Mazda CX-7.

Great combination

This innovative crossover has a unique combination of sporty dynamics and functionality. Therefore, it is perfectly adapted to the difficult conditions of modern urban life. As befits a real sports car, the Mazda CX-7 features an athletic design and a 2.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with direct fuel injection. In addition, the car owner enjoys a spacious interior, good visibility, comfort and versatility, which he can expect from an SUV. You say all this is too good to be true? Then take a closer look at the new Mazda CX-7.

Streamlined and aggressive appearance ...

The first thing you notice when looking at a Mazda CX-7 is its sporty character. The angle of the windshield is even steeper than many sports cars. The lower air intake with an aggressive design in combination with a compact upper radiator grill will add the CX-7 a sense of “sportiness”. The front end looks powerful and athletic; the hood is distinctive in shape. Pay attention to the flat roof, the rising center line of the body and the “muscular” bumpers covering the 18-inch wheels. At the rear of the car, two large exhaust pipes and spectacular round lights continue the sporting theme.

Sporty and elegant interior

The sporty design of the Mazda CX-7 cockpit indicates particular attention to every detail. On the refined and functional control panel there are three main indicators, the dials of which are illuminated in the dark, scattered blue light. For the equipped Sport package, instruments with red luminous symbols on a black background with blue "daylight" illumination are located on the center console. In addition, this version features a silver finish on the instrument bezel, center console and armrests. To emphasize the sporty spirit and sophistication of the interior, the three-spoke steering wheel, which has family features with the Mazda MX-5, is covered in leather. The rear seats fold down in one motion, freeing up extra space for luggage (the floor length is increased by about 1 m). This allows bulky items, such as bicycles, to be placed in the luggage compartment with a flat floor. A protrusion is provided in the upper part of the folded rear seats, which does not allow the luggage to freely move forward when braking. Another practical storage compartment is located in the center console, there are also two cup holders. An automatic climate control system will create warmth or coolness in the cabin - at your request. An anti-pollen filter will help to avoid allergy during the spring-summer flowering of plants. Front and rear power windows with auto-lowering function, a 12V socket in the center console and a remote-controlled central electric lock all make the CX-7 even more convenient. Mazda CX-7 can adapt to the requirements of modern life: for this purpose, there is a spacious luggage compartment and all the practical devices that you could ever want. For cars in the basic configuration, an excellent audio system with four speakers is installed, with a digital AM / FM radio receiver and a CD player with the ability to play MP3 discs. Or, for an even more fun time in the car, you can order a high-end Bose® audio system with Centerpoint® panoramic sound. In the Sport package, the Bose® Centerpoint® system is standard equipment, while for others it is offered as an option.

Character and dynamism

The 2.3-liter turbocharged MZR gasoline engine with direct fuel injection delivers a maximum power of 238 hp. and maximum torque of 350 Nm. However, thanks to the all-wheel drive system (the so-called active torque redistribution system), the driver always retains control of this powerful car. The Mazda CX-7 uses the same engine as the Mazda3 MPS and Mazda6 MPS sports models. Therefore, it is not surprising that the acceleration time of the Mazda CX-7 from 0 to 100 km / h is only about 8.3 seconds. In addition, the CX-7 has an excellent combination of smooth and consistent acceleration and an active (even aggressive!) Response to driver actions - regardless of engine speed. The six-speed automatic transmission has been refined to provide a feeling of complete control over high power, and also contributes to reducing noise and fuel consumption.

Stability and manageability

Ventilated brake discs are installed on all four wheels of the CX-7. The standard equipment of the car includes: anti-lock braking system (ABS), brake booster, traction control (TCS) and dynamic stabilization system (DSC). All these driving assistance systems are combined with an intelligent all-wheel drive system, increasing the stability of the car and eliminating both over and under-steering - with intensive braking and with a tendency to skid. The power steering provides precise and adequate steering, and the rigid body structure allows the CX-7 to maintain maneuverability and stability when cornering. From inside the CX-7, you always see the road clearly. Thanks to the high landing and (for Sport equipment) a driver's seat with electric adjustment in six parameters, you can rest assured that you really occupy the optimal driving position. Exterior mirrors with body-colored housings are electrically adjustable and heated. They also help the driver better see the space around the car. With a comprehensive range of Mazda CX-7 active and passive safety devices, you really don't need to worry about anything. Mazda's state-of-the-art energy absorption and redistribution system is integrated into the CX-7 body structure. To protect passengers, six airbags are provided: frontal and side (for the driver and front passenger), as well as window airbags that protect all people sitting near the windows. The CX-7 comes standard with front seat belts with pretensioners and tension limiters. Working in conjunction with a system of airbags, they provide optimal protection for passengers in the event of a collision. Whatever your lifestyle and interests, the Mazda CX-7 will fit them perfectly. In the UAE, the official Mazda dealer is Galadary Automobiles.
