Mazda CX-7 can be compared to a bright star that flashed in the sky, attracting the attention of connoisseurs, but after a while faded away. This model does not have a direct heir, and its niche in the market has been taken by a new crossover – CX-5.

The second generation of the Mazda CX-7 crossover has been produced since 2009. The manufacturer, developing the model, made a lot of changes to the design of the car. Nevertheless, the car’s appearance is still recognizable.
In the exterior, the radiator grille has undergone a redesign, which has received the proprietary pentagonal shape. Inside the car, serious changes are also immediately noticeable. In particular, the dashboard was revised, and the number of elements on it only increased. It should be noted the appearance of two monochrome displays, which made the panel look more technological. The entire navigation system has undergone modernization.
The manufacturer has not forgotten about reliability either. A comfortable ride is provided by the active torque distribution system, which allows the wheels to grip without problems on hard surfaces. To increase the maneuverability of the Mazda CX-7 2010, engineers have significantly upgraded the chassis of the car. Under the hood of the car, in addition to the already familiar 2.3-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 238 horsepower, a turbo diesel engine with a working volume of 2.2 liters and a capacity of 173 horsepower can be installed. Moreover, the diesel version is available only with a 6-speed manual transmission.
