The Mazda CX-7, produced from 2007 to 2012, was a stylish and capable crossover SUV that carved a niche for itself in the competitive compact SUV market. Riding on a platform shared with the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner, the CX-7 offered a sportier driving experience than its platform siblings. Its sleek, coupe-like design, featuring a sloping roofline and a distinctive front grille, set it apart from the more conventional boxy SUVs of the time. The CX-7 was available with a single engine option, a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing a respectable 244 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, provided decent acceleration, making the CX-7 a fun-to-drive SUV, even despite its relatively high curb weight. Beyond its sporty demeanor, the CX-7 offered a spacious and practical interior. While the sloping roofline might have slightly compromised headroom for rear passengers, the CX-7 provided ample legroom for both front and rear passengers. The interior was well-appointed with comfortable seats and a range of available features, including a premium Bose sound system, navigation, and a sunroof. The CX-7 also boasted decent cargo space, making it suitable for hauling luggage or everyday errands. Although the CX-7 was known for its sporty handling and engaging driving experience, it also suffered from some drawbacks. Fuel economy was less than stellar compared to its competitors, and the ride quality could be somewhat harsh on rough roads. Nonetheless, the Mazda CX-7 offered a unique blend of style, performance, and practicality, making it a compelling option for those seeking a stylish and capable compact SUV.
