Used Vehicle Review: Mazda CX-7, 2007-2012 - Autos.ca

History/Description: The Mazda CX-7 is gone now – though we miss it, largely because its turbocharged four-cylinder engine was torquey as all snot, the AWD system knew what it was doing, and the cabin, relative to its price, was all fancy. So, this now-retired machine appealed to Canadian shoppers after a sporty and sophisticated crossover ute that was big on fun-to-drive factor, all-season confidence and performance enjoyed from a nice-looking cabin. Look for high-end covetables including premium Bose audio, a sunroof, heated leather seats, automatic climate control and plenty more, depending on the model selected. Navigation, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, full multimedia connectivity and a lengthy list of safety equipment were also standard or available, depending on the trim grade. If so, they’ll mostly fit into the CX-7, thanks to nearly 1,660 L of cargo space and a set of split-folding rear seats. The CX-7’s late-availability 2. 5L four-cylinder engine is for you. You’re looking for the award-winning 2. 3L turbocharged four-cylinder DISI engine instead, with 244 horsepower backed by by nearly 260 lb-ft of torque. Trim grades were numerous—if you’re after a.
