Mazda CX-7!

Post by conan »

A very handsome SUV for a change! The front and rear fenders are lifted from the RX-8.


LOS ANGELES – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced details of its much-anticipated upcoming 2007 Mazda CX-7 crossover sport-utility vehicle (SUV). The company also confirmed that the car will make its public debut at the upcoming Greater Los Angeles Auto Show here, and the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2006.

The Mazda CX-7 is the first of three all-new Mazda vehicles that are being designed and engineered specifically for the North American market.

Mazda’s five-seat CX-7 is a refreshing departure from the fleet of traditional SUV ’ s currently plying American roads. Produced on entirely Mazda-derived platform architecture, Mazda CX-7 embodies an astute blend of sports car verve and SUV practicality, resulting in a fun-to-drive SUV with Mazda’s trademark “Soul of a Sportscar” . It is a vehicle that brings together performance and design like never before. The Mazda CX-7 is just right for adventurous couples driven by the urge for discovery.

“The North American market continues to play a pivotal role in Mazda Motor Corporation’s global future,” said Jim O’Sullivan, president and CEO, MNAO. “Vehicles such as CX-7, designed and engineered specifically for the North American market, will make Mazda an important and influential force in the industry . This vehicle represents everything a Mazda SUV should be: powerful, great styling , detailed craftsmanship and fun to drive. Mazda at its finest” .

The distinctive exterior design of the Mazda CX-7 is an extension of the sports car motif influenced by the 1995 RX-01 and 2005 MX-Crossport concept vehicles. In addition, CX-7’s strong emotional styling shows its family resemblance to the RX-8 sports car. Prominent front fenders, A-pillars rooted at the body’s leading edge, and Mazda’s signature five-pointed grille clearly register this new model as a Mazda. The 18- inch aluminum wheels and tires proclaim Mazda CX-7’s Zoom-Zoom intentions and immediately signal that this is a vehicle built for drivers .

An interior design , also previewed by the MX-Crossport concept , fulfills every car enthusiast’s innate desire to jump in and drive. The three- dial instrument cluster, sports car inspired high-mounted shifter and fo rm-fitting front bucket seats are configured for spirited motoring. The instrument panel consists of a unique ‘double-roof’ structure, in which a small ‘roof’ over the meter cluster is positioned just in front of a large ‘roof’ that extends across the entire instrument panel. The 60-40 split rear seat accommodates three adults in comfort and quickly converts to an extension of the 29.9 -cu. ft. cargo hold, bringing total cargo capacity up to 58.6- cu. ft . The 39-inch-long rear compartment (seats up) offers more stowage space than some larger SUVs.

Matching the sporty appearance is Mazda CX-7’s powerful and dynamic performance. Mazda CX-7 is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.3-liter four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine that produce s 244-horsepower at 5,000 rpm. While key powertrain features are shared with the recently launched MAZDASPEED 6 , the Mazda CX-7 is exclusively tuned to deliver 258 lb-ft of torque at a remarkably low 2, 5 00 rpm, and at least 99-percent of the maximum torque available all the way to the 5,000 rpm horsepower peak. With Mazda’s six-speed Sport AT transmission, CX-7 performs as if there’s an engine twice the size under the hood. Furthermore, the Mazda CX-7 delivers an estimated 23 mpg in combined driving.

A sturdy unitized body structure, fully independent suspension, and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with standard four-wheel anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) , Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS), underlie Mazda CX-7’s athletic road manners. Customers may select the driveline best suited to their needs: F ront-Wheel Drive or Mazda’s Active Torque-Split All-Wheel Drive . With Active Torque-Split All-Wheel Drive , a computer-controlled coupling feeds up to 50-percent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels for exceptional handling whether the driving conditions are dry and fast or slippery and paced.

Mazda CX-7 arrives in the spring of 2006 as a 2007 model.

Memang keren abis modelnya ! Streamline bgt dan kesannya ceper walopun SUV !

Tp, jangan berharap banyak CX7 ini hadir di tanah air. Mazda 3 sedan dan hatchback saja gema-nya sudah redup, padahal dulu gw sempet dikasih brosurnya. Nyatanya ... hanya 2 kali liat Mazda 3 hatchback warna hitam. Itupun datang ke bengkel gw untuk pasang film Huper Optik dan isi nitrogen !

Emang berbeda sistem manajemen dari ATPM sini dgn luar negeri (spt Singapore, Amrik etc).

Di Singapore aja yg deket, populasi Mazda n Mitsubishi masih banyak apalagi varian terbarunya cukup banyak. Aneh di Indo redup sekali. Varian barunya ngga muncul2 ...

CX7 masuk indo koq dengan harga 499juta. Gw udah pernah coba test tapi cuma di lurusan SENCI, jadi ga tau bantingan kaya apa tapi kayanya suspensinya firm n sedikit stiff because mobil ini kenceng n mazda bikin supaya stabil di kenceng. Mobilnya gw suka, model keren banget,eye-catching di mata, tarikan mantap abiz, bisa narik kebelakang badannya karena turbo, jok segala OK karena udah semi bucket, sound system bose, sunroof. Cuma rasanya ni mobil ga selega harrier gw. ruang kepalanya pendek, tempat duduk belakang kurang lega di banding ma harrier gw dulu(model baru, 2003). Tapi mesin jangan tanya, but bensin cekak karena turbonya makan bensin banget. Transmisi agak butut, tiptroniknya ga cepet pindah. Ada delay time n klo mau engine brake tapi putaran mesin ketinggian, di block. gw tarik dari, dah gigi 2, mau engine brake supaya muter balik, mau ke gigi 1 tapi putaran mesin diatas 4000RPM, di block. Payah banget n pada akhirnya baru mau pindah ke satu pada putaran 2000-3000RPM. Payah bener d automaticnya. Klo bisa gw program, gw program sendiri d. Tapi overall bagus, cuma klo mau keluarin unsur sportness-nya, itu transmisi mesti di program lagi. Kurang menarik disitu aja karena klo ga, mesti bolak-balik bengkel mazda untuk perbaikin Rem...

mending ambil harrier 2,4l atau mazda cx7 yah?

harrier kayaknya mesin dan interior kuno, cuma resale value nya bagus banget

Sebenernya interior ga kuno si, cuma sudah dari tahun 2003 kita melihat harrier ini n terus laku keras penjualannya. Makanya lama-lama jadi bosan. Mesin memang masih sama seperti camry 2.4L. Ya kalau mau tampil beda ambil CX-7, tapi dengan syarat, resale value jatuh n belom tentu built quality bisa ngalahin Harrier, karena Harrier built qualitynya termasuk bagus n kedap suara mobilnya n sampai sekarang, mobil ini masih laku n resale value kuat banget

Harrier Vs Cx7 Hmm....

kalo untuk dipake di sini kayaknya mending harrier ya soalnya resale bagus, maintenance juga mudah, sparepart juga lebih gampang, dan mungkin juga lebih murah ngerawatnya karena udah banyak bengkel "biasa" yg bisa megang ni mobil.
kalo soal model relatif lah.....dua2nya sama2 bagus tapi CX7 mungkin sedikit lebih eksklusif karena jarang. Harrier menurut gw tahun 2008 atau paling lambat 2009 udah keluar model terbarunya (lexus RX).

consnya suspensi yang keras dan boros.

Bensin terakhir di test sih masuk 1:7, ngga sampe 1:6. Kecuali kalau nyetirnya suka tarik tarik terus mungkin 1:6 kebawah hiehieheihie
Mobil seharga 500jt keatas sudah sepantasnya minum pertamax+.

Untuk mobil sekelas gini sih toyota ma honda harus import.... sedangkan mazda kan atpm tapi barang CBU jepang. Jadi kalau ngomong resale value ya lain lagi bahasannya.

Masalah suspensi sih, sesuai ya dengan tujuan mobil ini. Untuk handling yang mantap dan kemampuan ngebut yang ok. Jadi suspensinya kalau diset empuk, bakal goyang goyang nih mobil.

Jadi ya...cons'nya cuman itu doang kalau menurut saya.

Mobil dibeli untuk dipake, bukan untuk dijual lagi. Jadi jgn terlalu dipikirin resale value deh, kecuali penggunaan maks 3 tahun baru deh boleh dipikirin resale value'nya... kalao sampe 5-6th penggunaan... harga resale kayaknya udah masuk posisi netral (dibilang kemahalan ya ngga, dibilang kemurahan ya ngga).

kalo soal resale value g rasa mang ga ada yg bs ngalahin toyota seh ya..
tp waktu g td neh boil mantep banget..
power band nya terasa banget, harrier 2.5l jauh lah..
trus dalemnya g rasa retro gt, demen aja seh..
built quality jg bagus...
mang seh g baca di forum luar fc nya aja yg agak lumayan haus..
cx-9 kemahalan n lebih boros..
tp overall, mazda has done a gud job for their new models..
zoom zoom gt loh.. ahaha...
