2007 Mazda CX-7 Road Test
Filed under: Mazda, Road Tests, SUVs
At first, we weren’t particularly interested in the announcement of an all-new crossover SUV–the 2007 Mazda CX-7. A new car-based ‘ute is about as rare as a Hollywood wedding. Mostly, they’re ungainly, unexciting vehicles that trade the stability and light weight of a car for extra cargo room and ground clearance that nobody uses. A few high-end crossovers do emphasize the Sport in SUV–Range Rover Sport, ML55, X5, etc.–but in the meat of the market, there’s not much to get our blood boiling.
When we heard the CX-7 would be powered by a 244-horse turbo, however, our ears perked up. After all, Mazda is known for injecting a bit of “Zoom-zoom” philosophy into nearly every vehicle they build. And when we saw that curvy body, we relented, and decided to take a look at what we fervently hoped would not turn out to be just another family hauler with no soul.
