Specifications CX 7. Mazda CX7 - the departed "first-born" of the Japanese company Mazda

Mazda cx 7 belongs to the SUV class and is a mid-size Japanese car that includes five seats.

More than 10 years have passed since the creation of the Mazda cx 7. However, at the official level, he was presented in January 2006 at a car show in Los Angeles.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The foundation for its creation was the concept of this crossover called the MX-Crossport, which was made public a little earlier, in 2005. launch serial production Mazda cx 7 took place in the spring of 2006, at the group's car factory in Hiroshima. It is worth noting that the crossover aroused great interest among drivers who like serious technology.

For reference! Iwao Koizumi, chief designer of Mazda, claims that he came up with the appearance of this crossover in a fitness center, which emphasizes the exterior of the car. After all, the design of the CX-7 turned out to be sporty-aggressive both inside and out!

Four years later, the model was restyled, the main change of which was the appearance of a front-wheel drive layout of the car. The Mazda cx 7 was discontinued in 2012, just six years after its introduction. The company's management decided to end the production of this crossover, which is very popular, due to the release of a newer model.

For reference! The predecessor of the Mazda cx 7 is the famous Mazda Tribute, and its successor is more new crossover Mazda CX-5!

It's no secret that the crossover was developed on a completely new platform, which was designed specifically for this car.

Despite this, a significant part of the units, components and mechanisms of the Mazda cx 7 are borrowed components of other models from Mazda. For example, the front suspension is completely taken from the Mazda MPV minivan, and the developers decided to take the suspension from the Mazda 3, which has undergone minor modifications, as the basis for the rear.

The all-wheel drive transmission, which was also equipped with the presented crossover, was inherited from the Mazda 6 MPS. In addition, the 6th generation Mazda gave the owners of the CX-7 a derated engine with a capacity of 238 hp. The gearbox is a six-speed "Active matic" automatic unit, which has a manual shift function.

It should also be noted that the Mazda cx-7 car has a security system that includes the following elements:

1. Six airbags;
2. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC);
3. Anti-lock braking system (ABS);
4. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA);
5. Traction control system (TSC).

Specifications Mazda cx 7

Before describing specifications of this car, it is necessary to clarify that there are different modifications depending on the region of delivery, each of which has a standard and restyled version:

1. Russia;
2. Japan;
3. Europe;

Below is a table that shows the technical characteristics of the engines that the crossover was equipped with:

Piston stroke, mm	94 – 100 94	94	94	94 – 100

Based on the above table, we can safely say that the Mazda CX-7 engine range does not have a wide range of choices. There are only 3 ICE options to choose from - a diesel power unit and two gasoline ones.

The first is called the MZR-CD R2AA, has a displacement of 2.2 liters and is equipped with a turbocharger, which allows you to produce power of 170 hp, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes 11.3 seconds, and the average fuel consumption is 7, 5 liters. Below is a photo this engine in the underhood space:

For reference! On the CX-7 crossovers, which were assembled for the European market, an exhaust gas treatment system (SCR) was additionally installed!

The 2.3-liter L3-VDT gasoline engine was inherited from the CX-7 from the Mazda 6 MPS. It included direct fuel injection, turbocharging and an intercooler. This motor was installed as on cars with manual transmission, which made it possible to obtain a power of 260 hp, and with a six-speed automatic transmission gears, as a result, the power was reduced to 238 hp.

It must be emphasized that both versions of this power unit do not differ in efficiency, because according to passport data, fuel consumption reaches 11 - 11.5 l / 100 km in the combined cycle. However, due to the presence of a turbine, the CX-7 crossover has good dynamics acceleration - 8.3 seconds to 100 km / h. Below is the L3-VDT in one of the Japanese catalogs:

Last of two gasoline engines, with a working volume of 2.5 liters, was installed on post-styled versions of the Mazda cx 7. This engine is different in that it does not have a turbine and is considered an atmospheric power unit. Its power is 161 hp, acceleration to 100 km / h takes 10.3 seconds according to passport data, and fuel consumption in the combined cycle.

The engine is called L5-VE and works in conjunction with a five-speed automatic transmission. It is found in front-wheel drive models of the CX-7, which are intended for the American market. There is also a Russian version of the L5-VE internal combustion engine, which works in conjunction with a mechanical transmission and allows you to reach a power of 170 hp.

Which engine to choose Mazda CX-7

When choosing an engine, first of all, you should consider your own preferences. For example, for one driver important parameter is the dynamics of the car, its maximum speed. For these purposes, the L3-VDT turbocharged engine is best suited. However, it should be understood that the supercharger not only adds power, but also reduces the life of the engine.

In addition, according to the owners of this power unit, very often there are problems with the turbine and engine oil starvation. Fuel consumption is also an important parameter, because turbocharging significantly increases it.

Naturally, for most drivers, the reliability of the engine, its economy and resource are more important. For these purposes, the naturally aspirated L5-VE engine, which has a working volume of 2.5 liters, is best suited.

Unfortunately diesel engine MZR-CD R2AA, which is installed on the European versions of the CX-7, is extremely rare in our country. However, if you are lucky enough to find such an instance, then it will be a good alternative to gasoline aspirated. Diesel engines have greater efficiency and operational life, and also have greater traction.

Which engine is most popular among Mazda CX-7 owners

In our country, almost all Mazda CX-7 cars are equipped with a gasoline turbocharged L3-VDT engine. And it's not because it's the most attractive option. The point is that on our secondary market finding any other engine is an extremely difficult task.

This motor gives such a difficult crossover a pleasant acceleration dynamics, but with reliability everything is not entirely smooth. So the most frequent problems in the L3-VDT engine are:

1. Supercharger (turbine). The owners note that this unit fails very often, without showing any signs of a future breakdown. However, it is worth considering that many owners personally reduce the life of the supercharger by performing poor-quality maintenance;
2. Increased timing chain wear. Many owners agree that it can stretch in just 50,000 km;
3. Coupling VVT-i. If the other two malfunctions are difficult to identify or prevent, then everything is much easier with a clutch. The main sign of its failure is a crackling when starting the engine, and immediately before it breaks down, the sound of the engine becomes rough, more like a diesel engine.

Recommendation! For a gasoline turbo engine, increased consumption engine oil. For L3-VDT, 1 liter per 1,000 km is considered the norm. It is very important to monitor the level of engine oil, because its lack entails increased wear not only of the turbine, but of all engine systems!

Mazda CX-7 has good technical characteristics. The manufacturer provided for the installation of two types of engines with good power, but high fuel consumption. Here there is only one type of automatic transmission in 6 steps, which works great. It is worth noting that the car is available in an all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive version - only the buyer can choose.

Numerous reviews of the Mazda CX-7 show that the technical specifications according to the passport and the assurance of car owners who have been operating for a long time this car are slightly different. Let's consider in more detail.

The characteristics of the Mazda CX-7 allow us to declare the bold and sporty nature of the vehicle, but you should not place high hopes on the cross-country ability of this car and you must be prepared for the financial costs of paying for fuel.

Real characteristics from car owners

If you study the numerous reviews of car owners, then here you can track one thing - there are not so many complaints about this car. Especially if you understand that each vehicle has its drawbacks and weak spots. There are a lot of questions to Japanese manufacturers who seem to have left this car unfinished, but anyway, as a result, the Mazda CX-7 has excellent performance and appearance.

Imagine a few real reviews to understand the big picture:

1. Oleg from Krasnodar. 3 years of owning a 2.3L Mazda CX-7 with 238 hp with a six-speed automatic transmission and with a mileage of 75 thousand km. During the operation, he has no special complaints and notes that the car performs well on light off-road conditions. It is worth noting that the car behaved perfectly at low temperatures and on long trips. Mazda CX-7 confidently keeps on the road and at high speeds there is a movement in a modern high-speed train. Banks on corners are negligible, but for Russian roads this crossover is not the best the best choice. The dimensions of the Mazda CX-7 are ideal for big family. Four-wheel drive does not always cope with bumps, the suspension is very reliable, but on roads with poor coverage you can feel all the obstacles. If we talk about the cabin, it could have been done better, but it is comfortable here plus the high seating position allows both drivers and passengers to comfortably accommodate. Real consumption fuel in the city - 17-20 liters per 00 km, and on the highway - 12 liters.
2. Andrey from Rostov. Mazda CX-7 2.3L 238 HP with an automatic transmission and a mileage of 56 thousand km. The car was chosen with the utmost responsibility. And the choice fell on this model because the appearance attracts attention, and excellent technical characteristics testify to the sporty character of the vehicle. After 56 thousand kilometers, he noted that the character of the car completely suits me and its behavior on a flat track at a speed of 120 km / h is ideal. It is in such conditions that there are no rolls and wiggles - the movement is smooth and confident. Wheel light, and the pedals are sensitive. You can note the following shortcomings: poor sound insulation of the cabin and not very high-quality plastic on the instrument panel. In addition, there are sorely lacking drawers and pockets for storing small items. Separately, it is worth mentioning the large required filling volume of the Mazda CX-7 - in the city it reaches 20 and sometimes even 26 liters per 100 km. You should not discount the expensive maintenance of the Mazda CX-7 - but still the car is worth it.
3. Dmitry from St. Petersburg. Mazda CX-7 2.3L 238 HP with an automatic transmission with a mileage of 105 thousand km. It is worth noting the high reliability and practicality of the car. Suspension is still in working order, as when purchased. The light leather interior has not changed in any way and looks attractive. There are no squeaks or backlashes here. Fuel consumption is certainly higher than the declared technical Mazda specifications CX-7 2006, but I'm fine with it. The turbine still works fine - the main thing is to monitor the oil level in time and control its operation. Suspension is a little elastic, but it is almost impossible to break through it. On winter roads, I feel great, feeling full control over the car.

As a result, it becomes clear that the car, albeit a little contradictory, is highly reliable and safe, and the technical characteristics indicate that the car deserves maximum attention.

The Mazda CX-7 mid-size crossover was first introduced at the 2006 Los Angeles Auto Show. Production and sales of the car began later that year.

Especially for the Mazda CX-7, a new platform was created, which used separate components from other models of the company. Donors for the new car were the Mazda 3, Mazda 6 MPS and Mazda MPV.

The overall length of the crossover is 4,680 mm, width - 1,870, height - 1,645. luggage compartment- 455 liters (774 liters with folded rear seats), the ground clearance of the Mazda CX-7 is 208 millimeters.

Options and prices Mazda CX-7 2013

Working on the design of the Mazda CX 7, the company's specialists tried to combine the advantages and disadvantages of different classes. High ground clearance and short overhangs of the crossover body provide good geometric cross-country ability.

The windshield located far ahead of the driver and the layout gravitating towards a one-volume layout provide spaciousness and spaciousness of the cabin. Large tilt angle windshield, a relatively low roof line and a high window sill line make the Mazda CX7 silhouette more dynamic.

In the exterior of the restyled crossover, you can see all the same “inflated” wheel arches, a narrow gap in the upper part of the false radiator grille and a massive stern. The most noticeable change in the exterior was the new front bumper with high side grille elements and integrated fog lights.

The interior of the Mazda CX-7 looks sporty and is dominated by correct forms. Round air vents and climate controls, a round speedometer well, rectangular buttons on the center console and a strictly horizontal visor in front of the dashboard.

The only element that stands out against this background is the edging of the block of scales and indicators in the instrument panel, made up of two semi-ellipses connected to each other at an angle.

Specifications Mazda CX-7

Russian buyers have the opportunity to buy Mazda CX-7 with one of two options for gasoline engines. The base is a 2.5-liter engine with 163 hp. and developing a maximum torque of 205 Nm, which is transmitted to the front axle through a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The second version of the power unit is a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine that produces 238 hp. and 350 Nm of peak torque. This engine is aggregated in tandem with a six-speed automatic transmission that transmits torque to all wheels.

The fuel consumption of the Mazda CX 7 with a 2.5-liter engine is 9.4 liters per hundred kilometers in the combined cycle, in the city the crossover consumes 12.4 liters, and on the highway - 7.5 liters per hundred. The version with a turbo engine is a little more “gluttonous” - 11.5 liters in the combined cycle, 15.3 liters in the city and 9.3 liters per 100 km on the highway.

The choice of trim levels for the Mazda CX7 is not rich, buyers are offered only two versions - Touring and Sport, the latter being available only for a car with a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine.

Mazda CX-7 owner reviews

Mazda CX-7, 2007

Mazda was purchased in 2007. The queue for a car in those days was from 6 months. Equipment Sport a plus winter tires. The first trip Moscow - Voronezh did not disappoint, but for the first 5000 km I had to limit myself - a run-in took place. After running on the highway, it is quite comfortable to move at a speed of 160 km / h, the Mazda CX-7 is well controlled and there are no loud noise. Good accelerating dynamics when starting off and when overtaking. Comfortable movement on rough terrain up to 80 km/h. Winter operation brought a "surprise" - at -20 the car did not start in the morning, and I had to call a tow truck. The service changed the candles and said that all CX-7s “suffer” from this. Total mileage 75,000 km in 27 months of operation. Sold in July 2010. Losses during the sale amounted to more than 500,000 rubles. Auto hull for two years - 120,000 rubles. The cost of gasoline at the rate of 15 liters per 100 km in a circle.

Advantages : good design. Comfort. Powerful engine. Capacity. Music. Equipment.

Flaws : high flow fuel. Thin metal on fenders and doors. Afraid of cold start at -20 and below. The quality of the plastic inside the cabin.

Dmitry, Voronezh

Mazda CX-7, 2009

Very happy with the car, bought from official dealer. The Mazda CX-7 engine is very reliable and, most importantly, powerful, the gearbox does not “stupid”. I go quietly, I try not to drive. Handling and maneuverability are excellent, there is practically no roll. I tried to drive along a serpentine in the mountains at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. Before that there were different cars, but they are "Mazda" and are not suitable for soles. The interior is roomy, there is enough space in the rear seats. Finishing materials are very high quality and practical. In fact, the maximum speed is limited to 200 kilometers per hour, although it is written everywhere that it is 181.

As for off-road qualities, they are impeccable. I had to drive through snowdrifts and ice in winter. Everything worked out, the main thing is not to put too much pressure on the sneaker. The fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-7 is certainly overestimated, in the city about 18 liters in summer, and in winter all 20. I tried to start it in 30-degree frost, everything turned out with ease. I think the only drawback is the rigidity of the body, because if you park somewhere on an uneven surface, the doors close differently. I don’t always feel the dimensions, so I advise everyone to install parking sensors. I also had to finish the "Shumka", as it was disgusting. I visited the service, I didn’t like the service at all, they do everything somehow not qualitatively and don’t try at all. Trouble, in general.

Advantages : exterior. Reliability.

Flaws : poor soundproofing.

Sergey, Ryazan

Mazda CX-7, 2010

The car as a whole suits, the soundproofing is quite normal, otherwise many complain about it. I additionally installed noise and vibration isolation of the wheel arches, well, just in case of a “fireman”. Paid a little more than 5000 rubles. The dynamics of the Mazda CX-7 is excellent, sometimes I overtake even Toyota Rav 4 and Mitsubishi Outlander. Chassis is very comfortable, not hard and not soft, but such as it should. The standard audio system sounds good, nothing creaks in the cabin, I hope everything will remain so in the future. The driver's seat of the Mazda CX-7 is very comfortable, I easily set it up for myself. Visibility is normal for me, although looking at the arched pillars, many do not think so. Maybe I'm just used to them and everything suits me. Handling is just amazing. steering clear, and the box works well. But still, there are some "cons". For example, I really don't like hard plastic, which can start to creak at any time. And the expense is enormous. Around the city it comes out somewhere around 15-20 liters, and on the highway at least 13. This is assuming I don't drive too fast. It's a pity that there is no memory for seat and backlight settings open doors. In addition to this, more steering column departure is not regulated, in general, there are many things, but I try to come to terms with it.

Advantages : soundproofing. Chassis.

Flaws : hard plastic interior. Fuel consumption.

AT model range Japanese company Mazda has several cars whose history was not so successful and long. For example, the CX-7 lasted only 6 years from the moment the first copy was released until the car was taken out of production. In principle, today you can still find a brand new crossover that has stagnated in the showroom of an official dealer, but their number is constantly decreasing. It is impossible to say that the car was not popular, because the demand for the model was high. In any case, there are devoted fans of the CX-7 all over the world, which means that in ten, twenty years it will be possible to find this SUV in excellent condition.

Mazda CX-7 - a dynamic and sophisticated crossover

Price and equipment Mazda CX-7

starting price updated version cx-7 was about 980 thousand rubles. For this money, buyers received a pretty decently charged crossover with a wide range of options. Let the motor down a bit. As for a mid-size vehicle, the engine was not powerful enough in the initial configuration. There were no problems in the city, but as soon as the car drove into rough terrain, rolls appeared, the crossover skidded. For the progressive version, it was necessary to pay almost 1.45 million rubles.

On the one hand, the difference is quite noticeable, but on the other hand, the SUV received a magnificent turbocharged unit capable of delivering up to 163 hp. With him, the CX-7 became just a beast. Today you can only buy a used model.

Auto history

Already at the turn of the millennium in the automotive sector, there have been some shifts towards compactness and adaptability. Vehicle. Naturally, they did not bypass Japanese manufacturer Mazda. In 2004, the development of a qualitatively new crossover was started, which was supposed to literally amaze motorists around the world. Initially, the designers designed it to be medium-sized. Only by 2010 did the CX-7 take on the form of a compact car.

When choosing an affordable and technically equipped car, pay attention to which are becoming more and more popular in our country.

They will not leave anyone indifferent. This car is truly sporty and in many ways unique.

First, the SUV was presented as a concept called the MX-Crossport. The presentation took place in 2005. In principle, it was quite successful, so conveyor production was not long in coming. Already in January 2006 in Los Angeles general public was able to admire the serial version of the crossover. The release was carried out on the basis of a plant in Hiroshima. The Japanese were the first to be able to purchase a novelty. Then the car migrated to America, Europe, and then reached Russia.

In 2012, Mazda announced that the CX-7 was being phased out. Experts say that this was expected, because the car would not have been able to compete with its brother, who was quickly gaining popularity. We are talking about CX-5.

Modifications

Although the history of the model is not so long, it still has several modifications. Moreover, the designers even managed to make one planned restyling, which completely updated the generation of the crossover. As a result, five versions of the CX-7 can be named, which have fundamental differences between themselves.

The basic version of the SUV is considered to be a car with a 2.2-liter CDi AWD unit. It develops power up to 173 hp. This is the only diesel from the range of engines. The gearbox is exclusively automatic. In general, the same transmission is offered for most modifications. The design and "stuffing" of this version were quite acceptable, although not luxurious.

Further, two separate modifications can be distinguished, equipped with turbocharged gasoline units. Their capacities are 238 and 260 hp, volumes - 2.3 liters. Front drive. The gearbox has already been mentioned. With such engines, the car turned into a dynamic crossover. Turbines work wonders on the track.

There is also an all-wheel drive modification with the already familiar 2.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and 260 hp. In fact, the only difference is in the platform.

In 2010, after restyling, the developers added another modification. It was created specifically for lovers of a comfortable ride. six speed automatic, front-wheel drive and a mid-power 2.5-liter engine with 163 hp guarantee unsurpassed handling and maneuverability.

Classmates

The Mazda CX-7 SUV has many classmates who are similar to it not only in terms of performance, body shape, but are also in the same price category. Of the cars that win the cx-7 in value, the Citroen C4 Aircross can be distinguished, Mitsubishi ACX, Mini County, Nissan Beetle, Peugeot 3008, Skoda Yeti. Of course, in technical specifications, the Japanese crossover surpasses almost all of the listed models, but you can’t argue with the price. For some motorists, it is she who plays a decisive role in choosing a vehicle.

In some ways, classmates of the CX-7 are the Ford Kuga, Jeep Compass, Mitsubishi Outlander, Opel Antara, Peugeot 4008, Subaru XB and Volkswagen Tiguan. Do not forget about the new fellow of the same brand, namely the Mazda CX-5. Just because of its appearance, the mid-sized SUV had to cease to exist. The listed models are considered classmates of the cx-7 only by indirect signs. For example, the Outlander is unlikely to be comparable in size or body shape to the Japanese SUV, but their platforms and performance are generally similar.

Overall dimensions, body, wheels

Over the course of six years of production of the car, the Japanese have never changed the size of its body. They make up:

• Length - 4680 mm;
• Width - 1870 mm;
• Height - 1645 mm;
• Wheelbase - 2750 mm;
• Ground clearance - 208 mm;
• Front and rear wheels- 1615 and 1610 mm.

The owners of the car were pleased with the impressive ground clearance, which allowed you to move confidently in off-road conditions. Disc sizes range from 17 to 19 inches. As an option, it was also possible to install 20-inch products, but this option seemed even too massive. The body of the cx-7 has a classic for Japanese cars shape. It was painted in one of nine shades of enamel. The base colors were white and black.

Appearance

The CX-7 looks amazing from the outside. It’s even a little insulting that the management of the concern decided not to continue producing the car. At first glance, it may seem that you have a massive hatchback in front of you, but after a moment this impression dissipates. With such overall dimensions the model can only be a crossover, and also not very compact.

The front of the car is characterized by a classic body kit, a small radiator grill, which is emphasized by an aerodynamic lip and a massive air duct. Dimensional lighting equipment is represented by narrow domes. They contain headlights. As an option, standard fixtures are replaced with xenon or LEDs. For foglights, the developers took away large and deep wells located on the sides of the air intake. Branded "tick" Mazda flaunts at the very center of this action. The hood is smooth, devoid of any stiffening ribs and stampings. In general, the body of the car as a whole is well streamlined.

Inspection of the car from the side makes it clear how littered the front roof pillars are. The transition between the hood and the windshield is not noticeable at all. The roof also has a slightly inflated shape. Due to this, oncoming air flows freely pass along the body. The car is quite large in length, so three windows are placed on the side. Impressive wheel arches protrude menacingly on the sides. They contain huge discs that give the model respectability. There is only one stamping on the doorways near the bottom edge. The rear-view mirrors are complemented by LED strips.

The stern of the Mazda CX-7 is even more than classic. Most likely, the designers simply did not want to bother about this. The roof ends with a miniature spoiler, huge shades of overall lighting equipment slightly step onto the plane of the sidewalls, license plates are placed in special recesses. rear bumper much more than the front. Immediately below it is a sheet of hard plastic, necessary for protection. exhaust system. In principle, the appearance of the crossover is recognizable and attractive.

Interior trim
