The CX - 7 was shown publicly for the first time at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show in January. Production officially began on February 20, 2006, in Mazda 's Ujina # 2 factory in Hiroshima. The CX - 7 went on sale in April 2006, as a model for 2007, and was discontinued in August 2012, in favor of the new Mazda CX - 5. It was also Mazda 's first mid size SUV, since the Navajo was discontinued in 1994. The CX - 7 and the Mazda CX - 9 do not share platforms. The CX - 7 shares the front suspension of the Mazda MPV minivan, and the rear suspension from the Mazda5. It shares its turbocharged inline 4 engine with the Mazdaspeed6, and uses a six speed automatic transmission. The model year of 2012 was the last year for the CX - 7, to make way for the release of the CX - 5. The CX - 5 has a more efficient powertrain and more interior room, while its exterior is smaller than the CX - 7. Contents 1 Specifications 1.1 Engine and transmission 1.2 Model range, prices and features 2 2010 update 3 Offroad capabilities 3.1 Engine 4 Name origin 5 Possible revival 6 References 7 External links Specifications Interior Engine and transmission Power comes from the same 2.3 L straight - 4 MZR engine used in the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 coupled with a six speed Aisin automatic transmission, and tuned to produce 244 hp or 182 kW ( Australian model 175 kW ) at 5000 rpm and 258 lb ft ( 350 N m ) of torque at a low 2500 rpm, 99 % of the maximum torque is available to 5000 rpm. The MZR 2.3 L DISI turbo engine found in the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6 has been retuned in the North American specification CX - 7 to deliver torque at a lower rpm for less turbo lag off the line, at the cost of power. This was achieved thanks to a redesigned, smaller K04 turbocharger. United Kingdom specification CX - 7 's feature the same, larger K04 turbocharger and transmission found in the Mazdaspeed line. Model range, prices and features The CX - 7 features fully independent suspension, four wheel ventilated disc brakes with standard anti-lock brakes, stability control and traction control, and a choice of either front - wheel drive, or Mazda 's Active Torque - Split all wheel drive system. With the Active Torque Split system, two computer controlled magnetic clutches feed up to 50 % of the engine 's torque to the rear wheels. The Australian combined cycle official fuel economy is 11.5 L / 100 km ( 25 mpg ; 20.5 mpg ), similar to the Holden Captiva. But real world fuel economy is nearer to 18.0 L / 100 km ( 15.7 mpg ; 13.1 mpg ), as much or more than the Ford Territory. As of the 2010 model, there are four trim levels ( model ), iSV, iSport, sTouring, and sGrand Touring &mdash in ascending equipment levels. Touring and Grand Touring models are available with all wheel drive and are offered with the 2.3 L turbocharged engines. SV and Sport trims come with a 2.5 L MZR naturally aspirated DOHC four cylinder. Canadian models included GS Front Wheel Drive, GS All Wheel Drive, GT Front Wheel Drive, GT All Wheel Drive Australian models ( AWD only ) included `` CX - 7 Classic '' Base trim and `` CX - 7 Luxury '' upper trim. United Kingdom models ( AWD only ) were not offered at the same time and included 2.3 T and 2.2 D ' Sport Tech '. 2010 update The front and rear exterior fascias were revised with the front adopting the larger five point grille design similar in appearance to the contemporary RX - 8, MX - 5 and Mazda3 / Axela. The interior gauges were revised, with blackout meters that featured three dimensional dials, a 3.5 inch super twisted nematic ( STN ) monochrome and 4.1 inch thin film transistor ( TFT ) colour Multi Information Display ( MID ), ( positioned at the top of the instrument panel ), Bluetooth compatibility, and a Blind Spot Monitoring System. The car was unveiled at the February 2009 Canadian International Auto Show. The diesel version included a manual transmission, and was sold in Europe from 2009 to 2012. Pre-facelift styling Front ( Classic ) Rear ( Luxury ) Post-facelift styling Front ( i Sport ) Rear ( Classic ) Offroad capabilities While officially classed as a ' Mid size crossover SUV ', the Mazda CX - 7 is considered as a ' Soft Roader ' by automotive sources. The CX - 7 featured an active torque split four wheel drive system, which sends up to 50 % of the torque to the rear wheels on a slippery surface, to ensure a consistency of grip.

Transmission is a five speed automatic for the 2.5, and a six speed automatic for the 2.3 DISI Turbo engine. Name origin The CX - 7 reminds one of the name RX - 7, ( which was a sports car that was discontinued, and replaced by RX - 8 ), but the first letter, ' R ' ( ' R ' means rotary engine ), was changed to ' C ' ( ' C ' means crossover SUV ). Possible revival Although not yet officially confirmed, the CX - 7 nameplate could be used on an all new seven seater based on a stretched Mazda CX - 5, due to the growing popularity of three row crossovers. The result, the Mazda CX - 8 three row crossover, which is essentially a long wheelbase version of the second generation Mazda CX - 5 compact crossover, was released exclusively in Japan on September 14, 2017.
