Specifications

When choosing a Mazda CX-7 (new model), photos of which are given in this article, the operating features of the installed power units should be taken into account:

• The 2.5-liter engine in the mixed cycle consumes about 9.4 liters per 100 km traveled. At the same time, when driving in the city, consumption increases to 12.4 liters; on the highway, the figure is 7.5 liters.
• A turbocharged version takes more fuel than a regular one. In the mixed cycle, consumption is 11.5 liters, in urban areas it takes 15.3 liters per 100 km, and when driving on the highway it takes about 9.3 liters of gasoline.

Many are waiting for the start of sales of the Mazda CX 7 2017 in Russia, since the car is quite playful despite its large dimensions. It should be taken into account that the new car will be equipped with modern security systems. An example is the blind spot monitoring system. As practice shows, it works at speeds of more than 55 km/h. This decision is due to the fact that at a lower speed the car can simply enter a turn. The installed sensors can detect obstacles at a distance of about 50 meters. The rear view camera has also been updated, the driver's seat has electronic unit control and memory.

Body dimensions are as follows:

• The length is 4700 mm.
• Height 1645 mm.
• The width is 1870 mm.

The wheelbase is quite large, 2750 mm, which determines a large amount of free space in the front and rear. But the ground clearance is typical for a car of this class - it was 208 mm. As previously noted, the car in an expensive configuration comes with an all-wheel drive system. At the same time, she works in automatic mode: as soon as the front axle begins to slip, the rear axle is connected, to which no more than 50% of the traction is supplied. That is why the car can overcome significant obstacles.

Main competitors

The following cars can be called competitors of the Japanese automaker:

1. Hyundai ix35.

Of course, in terms of price they cannot compete with the CX-7, but all these models are in the same class.

Let's sum it up

The crossover is very practical to use and at the same time has good equipment. That is why many people, when looking for an inexpensive car with good equipment, pay attention to the CX7. Its advantages include the following points:

• Good quality of panels and materials used in the manufacture of seats.
• Low price with modern equipment. The car is equipped with several security systems that allow high efficiency control the position of the crossover in your lane.
• The installed motors have enough high power, which allows you to drive the car with the greatest comfort.

However, there are also several significant disadvantages:

• Only one gearbox to choose from.
• There are only two engines, both petrol.
• The car does not reach business class.

Photo Mazda CX-7

Mazda cx 7 belongs to the SUV class and is mid-size Japanese car, including five seats.

Since creation Mazda car cx 7, more than 10 years have passed. However, it was officially presented in January 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it 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 MX-Crossport, which was unveiled a little earlier, in 2005. The launch of mass production of the Mazda CX 7 took place in the spring of 2006 at the concern's automobile plant in Hiroshima. It is worth noting that the crossover has aroused great interest among drivers who like serious equipment.

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 and aggressive both inside and outside!

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 extremely 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 from other models from Mazda. For example, the front suspension is entirely taken from the Mazda MPV minivan, and as the basis for the rear, the developers decided to take the suspension from the Mazda 3, which has undergone minor modifications.

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

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

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

Specifications Mazda cx 7

Before describing the technical 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 showing the technical characteristics of the engines with which the crossover was equipped:

The first is called MZR-CD R2AA, has a displacement of 2.2 liters and is equipped with a turbocharger, which allows it to produce 170 hp, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 11.3 seconds, and average consumption fuel is 7.5 liters. Below is a photo of this engine in the engine compartment:

For reference! The CX-7 crossovers, which were assembled for the European market, had an additional cleaning system installed. exhaust gases(SCR)!

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

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

The last of the two gasoline engines, with a displacement of 2.5 liters, was installed on post-restyling versions of the Mazda cx 7. This engine is distinguished by the fact 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 the passport data, and fuel consumption is 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 CX-7 models, which are intended for the American market. There is also Russian version ICE L5-VE, which works in conjunction with a manual transmission and allows you to achieve a power of 170 hp.

Which engine to choose Mazda CX-7 with

When choosing an engine, you should first take into account 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 is worth understanding that a supercharger not only adds power, but also reduces the life of the engine.

In addition, according to the owners of this power unit, problems with the turbine and engine oil starvation very often arise. An important parameter is fuel consumption, because turbocharging significantly increases it.

Naturally, for most drivers, engine reliability, efficiency and service life are more important. For these purposes, the L5-VE naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 2.5 liters is best suited.

Unfortunately diesel engine MZR-CD R2AA, which is installed on European versions of the CX-7, is extremely rare in our country. However, if you are lucky enough to find such a copy, it will be a good alternative to a naturally aspirated gasoline engine. Diesel engines They have greater efficiency and service 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 an L3-VDT petrol turbocharged engine. And it's not because it's the most attractive option. The whole point is that on our secondary market Finding any other engine is an extremely difficult task.

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

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

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

For 4 years after its release, the car did not change, and a little later a number of design changes were made during restyling. But it did not become as popular as it should; it was overtaken in sales by the company’s other compact crossover, the CX5, which appeared later. Therefore, the company decided to discontinue this model.

Mazda CX 7 ceased production in 2012.

Although it is not produced now, this is not a reason not to consider this crossover in more detail; nevertheless, it was Mazda’s first.

Main Features

Exterior

To create the CX 7, the designers designed a completely new platform. At the same time, to quickly solve design problems, many components of the crossover were borrowed from other Mazda models.

Externally, the designers tried to connect sporty character, inherent in all Mazda models, with the universal characteristics of an SUV.

This attempt turned out to be successful - neat, with smooth body lines and practically without a strong transition from the front of the car to the windshield - CX 7 has sporty notes in its design. A smooth transition is also made from the roof to the rear of the crossover.

The front end is rounded to the maximum. At the transition from the bumper to the hood there is a radiator grille. At the same time, it is not significant in size and is covered with a coarse-mesh stylistic mesh. At some distance from the grille, diamond-shaped headlights were placed on the sides, the corners of which were also rounded.

The main place on the bumper is occupied by a rather large air intake, decorated with a chrome strip at the top. The intake itself is covered with the same mesh as the grille. Three-section stylized niches were installed on the sides. The upper section houses the fog lights, and the other two sections are reserved for additional air intakes. The bottom of the bumper is decorated with a small skirt with a protective overlay.

The side parts of the car are notable except for the wide chrome edging of the side glazing, a small transition step at the bottom, and linings to protect the sills.

The back is quite interesting. There is a smooth transition from the roof to the almost vertical position of the bottom of the rear door. Top rear window decorated with a symbolic spoiler.

The bumper protrudes somewhat, but its corners are quite rounded. An interesting solution was the placement of brake light repeaters. They were installed on a protective cover below the bumper, at the level of the exhaust pipes.

Dimensions

In terms of dimensions, the CX 7 is a completely standard mid-size crossover. He has them as follows:

• length 4700 mm;
• width 1870 mm;
• height 1645 mm;
• wheelbase 2750 mm;
• ground clearance 205 mm;
• curb weight 1600 kg;
• trunk 455 l;
• tank 62 l.

Interior

The salon now looks somewhat outdated, but also unusual. The instrument panel is presented in the form of three large wells. The central and left ones are reserved for analog sensors, and the right one is for on-board computer. Moreover, its display is monochrome.

The center console body was installed at a slight angle. At the top of it, under the visor, two small displays were placed. One is for navigation, it is color, the other is for displaying information about the operation of the audio system and climate system, it is monochrome.

Three deflectors were installed under the displays. Next comes a whole scattering of keys that control the climate and audio systems. The central tunnel houses only the gearshift lever and the parking brake lever.

Specifications

The CX 7 crossover went on sale with several types of power units and transmissions. Specifications power plants different, the first in the din of power plants in the CX7 was a 2.2-liter turbodiesel with a power rating of 173 hp. The transmission it came with was a 6-speed manual transmission, and the drive was on both axles.

The most common was the 2.3-liter diesel unit. In a car equipped with an automatic 6-speed gearbox, this unit developed 238 hp. Also, the CX 7 came with an engine of the same size, but with a “mechanics”, also 6-speed, but this engine produced 260 hp.

There was also a gasoline unit in the din. It was the largest in volume - 2.5 liters, but its power was only 163 hp, since it was naturally aspirated. This engine also came with a 5-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

Having a sporty appearance, the Mazda crossover did not have such character. Its speed and dynamic performance were mediocre.

So, the engine volume The 2.2 TD with automatic transmission accelerated to 100 km/h in 11.3 seconds, reaching a top speed of 200 km/h, and its average consumption was 7.5 liters. Another engine - 2.3 TD - s manual transmission accelerated to the first “hundred” in 8.2 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 211 km/h and consuming an average of 10.4 liters of fuel. The same engine, but with an automatic transmission, accelerated in 8.3 seconds, its maximum possible speed was 181 km/h, and its average fuel consumption was 11.5 liters. And finally, the gasoline engine with automatic transmission accelerates in 10.3 seconds, its maximum speed is 173 km/h, and fuel consumption is 9.4 liters.

Options and price

Mazda CX7 was delivered to dealers in several configurations. They implied different technical equipment, but there was also a set of equipment that was basic and all cars were equipped with it. This kit included:

• systems (ABS, TCS, EBD);
• cruise control;
• steering wheel with leather trim and multifunction;
• heated and adjustable seats (front);
• audio system;
• rain sensor;
• airbag package.

Although the CX 7 crossover had several power plants and transmissions, it came to us only with certain equipment and configurations.

So, we only had modifications available from 2.3 liter diesel and automatic transmission, as well as with a gasoline unit. Two configurations were offered for them: “Sport” and “Touring”.

The diesel crossover was priced at 1,334 - 1,479 thousand rubles. Petrol was cheaper - 1,184 thousand rubles.

Although the car is not produced, its owners continue to use it. And they note that the CX 7 has excellent handling, fairly responsive engines, and good fuel consumption.

The disadvantages of the CX 7 include the car's insufficient equipment, such as an electric trunk drive, and the lack of additional lighting in some places. They also note that the crossover is poorly prepared in terms of noise insulation.

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

A new platform was created especially for the Mazda CX-7, which used separate components from other models of the company. The “donors” for the new car were Mazda 3, Mazda 6 MPS and Mazda MPV.

Overall length crossover is 4,680 mm, width – 1,870, height – 1,645. Volume luggage compartment- 455 liters (774 liters when folded rear seats), Mazda ground clearance CX-7 equals 208 millimeters.

Options and prices Mazda CX-7 2013

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

The windshield located far ahead of the driver and the one-volume layout ensure a spacious and roomy interior. 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 the same “blown” wheel arches, a narrow gap in the upper part of the false radiator grille and a massive stern. The most noticeable change to the exterior is the new front bumper with high side grille elements and integrated fog lights.

The Mazda CX-7's interior looks sporty and is dominated by regular shapes. Round air deflectors and microclimate regulators, a round speedometer well, rectangular buttons on the center console and a strictly horizontal visor in the 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 half-ellipses connected to each other at an angle.
