Show Time Special


Sporty spice

It was at the previous Detroit Auto Show where Mazda unveiled this concept SUV which behaves almost like a sportscar. Now, we have heard that before. But going by Mazda's recent products, they mostly tend to deliver what they promise. Now, the CX-7 is set to go on sale in the US soon. According to Mazda speak, "The five-seat Mazda CX-7 embodies an astute blend of sports car vitality and SUV practicality, resulting in a fun-to-drive Mazda SUV with the soul of a sports car."


Prominent front bumpers, A-pillars rooted at the body's leading edge and Mazda's signature five-pointed grille make this model instantly recognisable as a Mazda. Large 18-inch aluminium wheels and a sporty interior fulfil every car enthusiast's innate desire to jump in and drive, while high quality is achieved through detailed craftsmanship.

The Mazda CX-7 is powered by the MZR 2.3-litre DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) Turbo, an intercooled 2300cc four-cylinder turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine, which produces a hearty 244 bhp at 5,000 rpm. We sincerely hope it turns out to be a budget Porsche Cayenne!
