Mazda CX-7 Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

The Mazda CX-7 is a midsize SUV that was sold in Australia between 2006 and 2012.

Rivalling the Toyota Rav4, Holden Captiva, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Nissan X-Trail, the CX-7 aimed to combine the power of a hot-hatch with the practicality of an SUV.

Initially sold with a 2.3-litre turbo-petrol engine straight out of the Mazda3 MPS, the CX-7 was later offered with an efficiency-oriented turbo-diesel and more affordable naturally-aspirated petrol; broadening the range from the $10,990 CX-7 Classic (FWD) to the $14,750 CX-7 Classic (FWD) in later years.
