Stop. Take a
listen.
You’ll hear it everywhere. The double beat. The
one-two cadence that propels us all from deep
within. Thump-Thump. Goes the heart. The boxer
throws the powerful one-two—boxing’s most feared
combination. Two quick claps of the hands and
dancers prepare for perfection. Snap your fingers
two times and watch as everyone around gets ready to
move. Why do rock legends tap the microphone twice
before melting your face? What makes a
thoroughbred’s muscles respond to two clicks from a
jockey’s mouth? This is no mere coincidence. The
double beat lives on a deeper level. An emotional
level. It’s a universal tribal-like connection. It’s
everywhere. And we’ve followed it for over 40 years.
Always building to it. It’s what drove us to make
the MX-5 Miata, the best-selling roadster of all
time. The MAZDASPEED3, one of the fastest
front-wheel-drive cars on the planet. And the CX-9,
2008 North American Truck of the Year. It’s what
stirs our soul. And what has led us to create a
crossover that combines the style and performance of
a sports car with the room and practicality of an
SUV. The turbocharged, 5-passenger Mazda CX-7. We’ll
never stop listening. Zoom-Zoom. Forever.
The future of
the crossover has never looked better.
You wouldn’t think a crossover as versatile as the
Mazda CX-7 could also pack such killer good looks.
Or exhilarating performance. But it does. Because
when Mazda designers created this 5-passenger SUV,
they dared to think outside the box. And the boxy.
And way beyond the expected. Envisioning an SUV
endowed with both sports-car-inspired styling and
performance. An SUV that’s turbocharged, intercooled
and even direct-injected. With a 6-speed Sport AT
automatic transmission. Advanced 4-wheel independent
suspension. And 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with
ABS. Want an SUV that’s both versatile and
exhilarating? Crossover to Mazda CX-7.
SUV
versatility has never been so cleverly camouflaged.
You wouldn’t think a crossover as exhilarating and
fun to drive as the Mazda CX-7 could also be so
practical and versatile. But it is. Because when
Mazda designers created the CX-7, they formulated an
ingenious blend of sports-car-inspired spirit and
SUV versatility. With a 60/40 split rear seatback
that folds down to nearly double the CX-7’s cargo
space. So you can easily haul everything from your
camping gear and sports equipment to your groceries
and luggage. A lockable storage compartment for your
laptop and built-in 12-volt outlets. Even available
all-wheel drive. Want an SUV that’s both appealing
and practical? Crossover to Mazda CX-7.
Experience
a turbocharged tour de force.
Some “powertrains” are more worthy of the word than
others. Like the grin-inducing 244-hp* 2.3-liter
16-valve all-aluminum MZR engine that powers the
Mazda CX-7. Turbocharged, intercooled and
direct-injected, it has the extraordinary ability to
deliver 99% of its maximum torque up to 5000 rpm.
And because it’s both turbocharged and
direct-injected, it delivers enhanced fuel economy
as well as plenty of extra power when you want it.
Plus the benefits of a 6-speed Sport AT automatic
featuring a manual-shift mode. The end result is an
advanced powertrain that delivers fun-to-drive
performance that’s both responsive and responsible
Regardless
of your destination, you’ll enjoy the journey.
Everything about the meticulously well-crafted
cockpit of the CX-7 Grand Touring is designed to
exceed your expectations. The 8-way power-adjustable
driver’s seat includes an adjustable lumbar support.
Both front-row seats are heated. A leather-wrapped
steering wheel and shift knob elegantly await your
eager grip. Electroluminescent gauges inform your
every glance. While the AM/FM/CD audio system
provides illuminated steering-wheel-mounted controls
and automatic level control. It is, in fact, a
superbly supportive, leather-trimmed driving
environment. Welcome to first class. We’ve been
expecting you.
Technology
that’s inspiring instead of intimidating.
At Mazda, we’re experts at connecting drivers to
technology that’s as enjoyable as it is innovative.
Like, for example, the Technology Package available
on the Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring. It delivers the
convenience of a voice-activated, 7-inch
touch-screen navigation system. The added safety of
a back-up rearview camera. Bluetooth® hands-free
phone connectivity. An in-dash 6-disc CD changer
mated to an incredible 240-watt Bose® 9-speaker
Centerpoint® Surround Sound System. A SIRIUS
Satellite Radio® with a free, 6-month subscription.
Even an elegant moonroof. All engineered to enhance
your driving experience on multiple levels.
Sport
Utility Vehicle versus Sport Utility Value.
In many of
today’s boxy and overpriced SUVs, it’s hard to find
much sport or value. Fortunately, the affordable
Mazda CX-7 Sport is a whole different animal. Note
the bold, athletic styling; 18-inch alloys; and twin
exhaust outlets. All standard. As is the
leather-wrapped, tilt steering wheel with
illuminated controls for the audio and
cruise-control systems. And the versatile 60/40
split fold-down rear seatback. Even the CX-7’s
turbocharged, intercooled and direct-injected
engine—as well as its 6-speed Sport AT automatic
transmission—are standard. Finally, an SUV that
makes it easy to crossover to versatility,
exhilaration and value. With some style.
In a CX-7,
safety doesn’t depend on options or add-ons.
Comprehensive safety engineering comes standard with
every Mazda CX-7. As does the peace of mind it
produces. To that end, every CX-7 incorporates: The
extra structural reinforcements of Mazda’s “Triple
H” construction. Front and rear crumple zones. Plus
a full complement of dual front air bags, front
side-impact air bags and front/rear side-impact air
curtains* with rollover protection. All of which
helped CX-7 earn Five Stars—the highest possible
rating—in government frontal and side-impact crash
tests.† Every CX-7 is also equipped with a
Tire-Pressure Monitoring System. Fade-resistant,
4-wheel ventilated disc brakes featuring ABS,
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist.
Dynamic Stability Control.‡ Even a Traction Control
System. All to give CX-7 safety a truly solid
footing.
“...the
best crossover out there for the money.”—Edmunds’
Inside Line.
Every Mazda we make is the inspired intersection of
insightful engineering, stylish design and spirited
performance. And the ’09 Mazda CX-7 is exhilarating
proof. No wonder
that after thoroughly testing the CX-7, AutoWeek
(1/22/07) candidly confessed: “Some of the staff
think it might just be the best crossover/SUV-type
vehicle they have driven.” But then, if there’s a
smarter, more reliable or fun way to make something
move, Mazda engineers are all over it. Which is why,
as we craft, tool, stitch and fit together your new
Mazda CX-7, we have no desire to take any shortcuts.
And as a result, neither will you. Zoom-Zoom.
