In America, the CX-7 line has been replenished with an economical new four-cylinder engine 2.5 liters and with a capacity of 161 hp. This engine It is suitable for a slow driver, for which sharp accelerations, high-speed taxiing and high maximum speed in the assessment of the car are far from the first places. Acceleration up to 100 km / h takes 10.3 seconds. Lovers drive more familiar previous version Turbo engine 2.3 DISI with a capacity of 238 hp The gamma of power units was also replenished with 2.2-liter turbodieselmmm-cd power 170 hp Only for the European market, the car is equipped with an additional cleaning system exhaust gases Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). It is possible to reduce the content in the exhaust of nitrogen oxides by 40%. The engine meets the requirements of the EURO 5 environmental standard.

The gearboxes also became one more. The company for the already familiar to us six-speed "automata", Mazdovtsy added a five-pidia-band. True, the crossover equipped with such a box can only be an editorial and exclusively with a 161-strong engine.

Mazda CX-7 is one of the few models that combines the sport design and driving pleasure with the space and the functionality of the present SUV.



Crossover Mazda CX 7, which is removed from production in 2012, can be compared with a bright star. She broke out in the sky in 2006, but unfortunately quickly faded enough.

Today, prices for cars of this model on secondary market More than democratic and this is despite the fact that, according to statistics, every 3rd car sold in Russia is precisely a crossover.

This situation is incomprehensible to many motorists. So what is due to the cheapness of Mazda CX-7 and why the prices for this model are so low?

Removed from production, but not forgotten

Very curious the fact that Mazda CX-7 is one of the few models of the Japanese automotive concern, which has no direct heir.

It is relifically known that the Mazda CX-7 serial release was discontinued due to technical obsolescence, and it is impossible to compete with a more advanced, both in terms of design and in the aspect of the technical characteristics - Mazda CX 5.

It is worth noting that the medium-sized crossover, which is in question in this article, from the very beginning it was quite controversial. According to developer engineers, it was created with the orientation of the US market, where the auto class is particularly popular. The years after the overseas "Debut", as Mazda began to offer CX-7 and in the European market.

Here it was slipped, since all-wheel drive model How it is impossible to come better for confident ride on perfectly smooth roads At high speed, not for Russian off-road.

The driving car turned out to be nototted to the pits and uhabam. As a result, the owners of the CX-7 were forced to quickly repair the front suspension, since its support racks came into disrepair on average every 40,000 mileage kilometers.

Breast of durability cannot also ball supports for which 60 thousand km are a critical figure. The most offensive thing is that they have to change them together with quite good silent blocks and front levers, which costs the owners of the crossover "in a penny".

From a technical point of view and the motor was far from flawless. When running 30-40 thousand km, the turbine replacement is a common phenomenon.

The first sign is that it is time to change the turbine is a white thick smoke from the muffler.

This service, both specialized and dealerships, is quite expensive, which cannot but affect cost Mazda. CX-7 in the secondary market.

"Weak places" Mazda CX 7

Small turbine resource The list of disadvantages of this model is not limited. To the number of obvious "misses" developers explaining whythe car is so cheap, you can also include several positions.

1. Quite impressive fuel consumption. According to the manufacturer, the gasoline version with a motor, a volume of 2.3 liters and a capacity of 238 horse powerThe city cycle consumes about 15 liters of fuel, and on the highway - a little more than 9. At the owners this crossover Completely different opinion on this. They almost one voice declare that real numbers Much more: 17-19 liters per 100 km run in the city and 10-12 - on the highway. As for off-road, this indicator also achieves a mark of 20 liters per 100 km.
   
2. Small resource of lambda probe (front oxygen sensor), of which the "jitter" of the car can testify about the exit. The most interesting thing is that the most ordinary top of the breakage can be brake fluid When replacing the pads, because oxygen sensors are extremely sensitive to additives contained in fuel.
   
3. Log in brake discs. « Weak place»Dorestayling cars Mazda CX-7 are brake discs that absolutely not boast of resistance to temperature drops. Eating in the snow or puddle even after a small braking is sometimes enough for them to be swollen. It is worth noting that last years Producer decided this problemBy changing the material for brake pads and disks, and installing new housings.
   
4. Unsuccessful solutions of engineers in terms of engine and automatic transmission - in view of which, you need to keep track of constantly behind them. If you stop controlling these units, then with time, one fault will cause further avalanchers, are increasingly expensive.
   
5. Bad noise insulation.

A lot of claims and other Mazda CX 7 aggregates 7. In particular, the owners often complain that the distribution and rear gearboxes flow, as well as the headlights, which in turn leads to the need for expensive repairs.

All of the above in the complex forms not the most positive car image among potential buyers, which negatively affects demand in the secondary market.

The price reduction in this case is one of the options to correct the situation. That is why the cost of Mazda CX-7 is an order of magnitude lower than a similar class car.

Another independent opinion about this car can be found from the video below:

Today I want to introduce you to the Japanese novice - new model Mazda CX 7 2019, the photo and the price of which is already on the page.

An interesting fact is that the American version of CX-7 is more common in the territory of the Russian Federation gasoline engine. When February 2009 came, in Canada, or rather in Toronto, the representation of the CX-7 resting model was held. And a month later, a car show was held in Geneva, which showed the European Premiere. All.

Exterior

The appearance of the car will have to make many. Mazda CX-7 combines the called body design, two exhaust pipes And lanterns that additionally emphasize the sportiness of the machine. In general, the exterior of the car was improved to the family image of the entire line of Mazda crossovers.

If you look at it from the face, the inflated front wings are thrown into the eyes, over which the hood of the V-shaped form is located. All design elements are harmoniously combined with each other. This speaks of his beautiful aerodynamics. Decorates the Mazda CX-7 The head optics is quite aggressive appearance.

The side air intakes were recycled, fog lanterns were placed in them. Now MAZDA CX-7 appeared more sporty. The new form began to possess the bumper and fog lights. As for the pentagonal radiator lattice, it increased in width and looks like a big smile, which has become almost a traditional moment for the other Mazda cars after 2010.

Stylistics vehicle Preserved its sporty character, as eloquently testify sharp angles of inclination of the front racks, which at the same time give the car with beautiful aerodynamic properties. The medium-sized "crossover" version of the Mazda CX 7 is an excellent sample of the design solution.

Thanks to the massive, low air intake, it is possible to better cool the disi-motor. The radiator grille smoothly flows into the hood, and it seems to demonstrate the continuity of the lines. The very shape of the wings installed in front is slightly similar to the model.

The windshield was installed under an acute angle, and the side windows are running behind the rear doors, dramatically tapering in the fodder area. With the help of reduced dimensions, the front headlights are almost interconnected. They possess 84 built-in LEDs.

Interestingly, IWAO KIZUMI, Mazda's chef designer, said that the concept of the Exterior of the Crossover was invented when he was in the fitness center.

Wheel arches place the wheels to a nineteenth radius. The drop-down roof merges into one whole along with the side line of opening windows. The door of the crossover turned out to be wave-like, they are very reliable. The side windows installed at the back have chrome edging, which allows you to make the exterior of the crossover unusual, adds an additional gloss.

As it should be the SUV feed CX-7 clearly adjusted and light, the rear dimensions are located high. Reflective elements and rear bumper are one integer.

In reality, Mazda CX-7 was able to challenge well-established stereotypes, possessing an extraordinary appearance, excellent internal space and impressive dynamic characteristics. This car Based on improved all-wheel drive base Mazda 6.

Interior

The same style is traced in the interior. When assembly, attention is paid not to the luxuriousness of the cabin, but the quality of individual details. High landing increases the driver overview while driving. In the process of production of the Mazda CX-7 salon, only advanced technologies were used.

The steering wheel to this model moved from the third Mazda. Separate devices on the panel look very pretty and have due informativeness. However, many may have the impression that the central console is overwhelmed by various keys and buttons, it is especially striking against the background of two small screens.

The owners of MAZDA CX-7 mark comfort in controlling the options and functions of the car. All sorts of "twisters" are very convenient and near the hand of the driver. The steering wheel in this Parketnik is regulated by departure and tilt. Also, the electrical adjustment is present in the rearview mirrors. The position of the seats in the car can be adjusted by pressing the buttons.

It's not so easy to find the optimal posture, because the armchairs that received the sport profile, installed low and deep into the salon, and the front rack was very littered back. Due to this, the quality of the review from the driver's seat is not perfect. The three-spoke steering wheel itself, together with the speed switch lever, pulled the skin.

Leather steering wheel

On the steering wheel there are control elements of important electrical systems car. The panel installed in front seems to be divided into two functional zones where the bottom has a dashboard and the ventilation dampers of the round shape, and the top, the screen of the bertocomputer. The front seats are separated by a high central tunnel. They are equipped with straps with tension force limiters.

The stove was installed so so that even in winter time The temperature of the cabin could climb a few minutes after the inclusion. With a powerful audio system installed, it is possible to get such a strong sound that the door sheathing can rattling from its oscillations. Many noted the inconvenience of the location of the screen, which is displayed from the rear view camera.

At the same time, it is very often in rainy weather, it clogs, and the image is removed very bad. As a result, a certain kind of difficulty appears when driving reverse. The second row of seats with comfort can place two people. But the third will have to be sighted. Trunk capacity of 455 liters with sufficiently high loading capacity.

If you fold the rear row of seats, then the capacity is increased at times. Transfer large household appliances or small furniture items will be much simpler! As you know, the Japanese attach special attention to the quality of finishes and materials. In Mazda CX-7, this is especially felt!

In 2007, the Mazda CX 7 machine became the owner of a special prize " Best SUV." in Japan.

When finishing the interior of Mazda CX-7, a hard-type plastic was applied, however, it is not a creaking. To be where to put your belongings, Japanese constructors have provided a 5.4-liter glove box placed between the front seats. In addition, based on Mazda CX 7 photos, there is a glove box that can be locked with the key, as well as pockets in the front doors and niches for magazines on the feed side of the front seats.

With a folded back row, the seats, useful volume increases to 1,350 liters of useful space. Already following the 2009th year, the vehicle received an upgraded "tidy", a 4.1-inch liquid crystal screen, support for bluetooth and a driver's seat with a memory function for 3 positions. The restyling model already has a multimedia system that supports the touch input.

Specifications

Force aggregate

In this section of the review, we consider Mazda CX-7 specifications. TO aK is known in the territory of the Russian Federation you can purchase a car with two engine options:

• Gasoline, 2.5-liter engine with 163 horsepower and maximum torque 205 nm. Like force aggregate will be by the way calm and measured owner who does not put sharp accelerations at the head of the corner, high-speed control and high maximum speed. In reality, the car lacks the power and thrust of the motor. The first hundred is achieved only in 10.3 seconds. It is important to understand that for the crossover, the mass of which exceeds two tons, the 163-strong motor will not be enough. Every 100 kilometers, consumption is about 9.4 liters of gasoline.
• Petrol, four-cylinder, turbocharged MZR engine, 2.3 liter volume with 238 horsepower. Power point In addition to the turbine received an intercooler. At the peak, it gives 350 nm of torque. To accelerate to the speed mark of 100 kilometers per hour, the car with such a motor can be in 8.3 seconds. Management, passing turns and stability on a straight line - the engine has all this. During complex road situations helps rear axle (Connects during front wheels).

Fuel consumption on Mazda CX-7 acceptable. "Engine", 2.3 liters, eats 9.3 and 15.3 liters of gasoline on the highway and in the city, respectively. In general, Mazda CX 7 fuel consumption may depend on many points, including driving manor. The limit speed may exceed 200 kilometers per hour.

The European market has received an additional selective Catalytic Reducion exhaust gas system. Thanks to such a system, it is possible to lower the content in exhaust gases of nitrogen oxides by 40 percent. The power plant complies with EURO-5 environmental standard standards.

Transmission

As a gear shift box for a 2.5-liter "engine", a five-step automaton is used. You can also choose a six-speed "automatic". But the car with such a box goes only with a 2.3-liter motor and the torque is transmitted only on the front wheels. Included with a 238-power engine there is a six-speed automatic transmission.

Chassis

The technical part has independent front and rear suspensiondisk brake mechanisms from aBS system and electronic assistants - EBD, EBA, TCS and DSC. Do not think that the Japanese car Mazda CX 7 has real off-road qualities.

Like any similar car in its class, it is intended only for light off-road. Of course, height road Suit It is 205 millimeters (after the 2009 update of 208 mm), but this does not mean that it is worthwhile through the fields and forests. His element is crossed terrain and light off-road.

Safety

Security systems help CX7 provide dynamic stabilization and emergency braking during an emergency. In addition, Japanese workers tried that during testing the machine on the NCAP system, the car could get 4 stars out of five possible.

Of course, not an ideal assessment, but not the worst, as for the "off-road" version. The overall rating was lowered due to insufficient protection of the neck of an adult passenger. But, despite this, the Japanese managed to take care of the proper level of security.

If you take the carrier body design of the car, then it was performed in such a way that any energy during the collision was not concentrated in the same area, and correctly redistributed over the entire structure and dissipated.

Speaking for airbags and belt tensioners, it is worth saying that they can function in a different way in the car. Controls this process the electronic unit Control.

In the necessary situation, it decides that in this case it will be better - to tighten the belt or serve a signal to gas generators of certain pillows. The airbag is blown away only by the touch of man. The re-using them is not envisaged, as they are disposable.

Even the simplest equipment Mazda CX 7 has belts for front chairs with special tensioning devices and with limiters of belt tensioning force limiters. With the help of a special design open space, manage to count on that during frontal collision The power unit left a lobby or down, but not in the salon.

The steering column during the collision is frozen and does not meet the chest or the head of the owner. Installed in front of the chair, can also significantly absorb energy during the accident japanese crossover. The pedal compartment was placed and constructed, so so that he did not shifted at the accident.

Tuning Mazda CX-7

Japanese automotive concern Mazda is popular in many countries of the world. Partly, this was achieved by the release of passenger cars, which are an excellent way of upgrades. It all depends on personal preferences. You can make a powerful charged sport carAnd if it is not necessary, you can create a stylish look for this crossover, and tuning will help.

Chip tuning

The main task that is placed in front of this method is to increase the dynamic characteristics of the car. If necessary, you can increase the engine power or increase the speed of overclocking.

Under logical reasons, to achieve this, you need to modernize the design of the motor and hide over the transmission. However, if various reasons The owner does not have the right amount to buy new details or simply not in this need, as an alternative solution you can spend just a chip tuning of Mazda CX-7.

External tuning

To any owner, no matter what he has for a car, or Mazda CX 7, I want to stand out against the backdrop of other drivers. There is nothing wrong. But with the help of one chip tuning, they will not achieve this.

It remains to boost over the improvement of the exterior of the vehicle. For example, you can fully change body kit. Other bumpers are installed on the car, mounted thresholds in the form of lining. This can also include special overlays on optics, which contribute to the change of appearance of the facial or forage area of \u200b\u200bthe car.

Such a solution is very popular, since from the outside, Mazda looks more attractive and unusual. With the help of the so-called "radical" kit, you can completely change the look of the Japanese crossover. For some, in general, it may be incomprehensible to what the car is worth it.

As a simpler and cheap option, you can view the replacement of only some parts of the appearance. The most popular elements are thresholds. With the help of thresholds with a modified design, you can achieve not only an attractive form, but also to protect the door of the crossover from the dirt that flies out of the wheels. In addition, you can put the thresholds and steps.

Due to this, you can change the face of the car and simplify access to the cabin. Other owners of Mazda CX-7, there is a desire to change not only the thresholds, and both bumpers, hood, wings. Some mounted new upgraded optics and so on. You can even try to replace the wheels.

If you put the "rollers" by 1 inch more, the car will accelerate even shunter, and during the passage of turns, it will be confident. But it is important to remember one important detail - it is not necessary to acquire steel wheels, as they look no matter.

Comparison with competitors

If you look at the race for the leading position, then the new crossover want to overtake and Chevrolet Captive. Objectively rivals are serious, modern and confident. German car has a dynamic design, excellent running characteristics and high strength.

The salon was also good, and the seats received a comfortable fitness form. An American has unsurpassed dynamic properties and is suitable for all types of movement: as if in the city, travel or country trips.

In addition to the machines mentioned already, the list of competitors Crossover Mazda CX 7 can be attributed, Haval H6 and Great Wall Hover H6.

Mazda is one of the strongest players in the Russian car market. Mazda 3 models and Mazda 6 became in our country the most real bestseller, thanks to a favorable quality ratio / price. And it is worth noting that the demand for these cars to this day remains relevant. However, until recently, this company did not please the drivers with compact crossovers, which have recently quite popular.

And therefore it is not surprising that the Crossover CX 7 collected "from scratch", announced in the distant 2006, immediately interested in many car enthusiasts. This test drive will be directed to the technical characteristics of the car (clearance, fuel consumption, etc.). We will see how the car behaves on the road, consider the salon and appearance. Well, let's start the test drive We are important to the element as specifications.

Technical characteristics of the car

Pretty prefaces, it's time to see what "seven" is capable of on the road. What is her technical characteristics? After turning the ignition key, immediately begins to delight the noise of the engine. Here, five points can be put in engineers for the well-developed 2,3-liter turbo MZR with four cylinders, as well as direct injection Fuel and interclureer. It is worth saying that such a design was used in the versions of Mazda 5 and Mazda 6.

Despite the fact that the engine has a modest volume, he confidently and in a sports car drains a car, which weighs almost one and a half tons. True, a small deficit can be felt on "Nizakh", but it is most likely due to the performance of the turbine, which requires a certain time to create the necessary air pressure on the inlet. Test Drive experienced cars in a variety of modes, and therefore it is possible to say with confidence that the power supply of the engine Mazda CX 7 is enough for almost all situations that can occur on the road.

Whether it is aggressive overtaking on the high-speed track or dense city traffic (exception will be only street racing, because it is strange to acquire a crossover for this case). CX 7 develops 100 kilometers in 8 seconds - this is probably the most compact and high-speed suv, the price of which does not exceed 50 thousand dollars. This car has a pronounced overclocking dynamics, in contrast to such famous models Auto, like Honda SRV or Suzuki Grand Vitara.

Mazda CX 7 sale feature in Russia

Immediately it is worth saying that the standard European version of CX 7, which is equipped with an engine with a capacity of 260 horsepower and a six-speed mechanical boxRussia is not for sale. We are supplied to a slightly modified version of the car: the power of 238 horsepower and a six-speed box-machine.

Changed the developers engines for us for two reasons. First, the version for Russia was adapted under gasoline fuel with octane number (European needs 98th). Secondly, the automatic box was originally produced for the American market, and it was calculated for a smaller power of the engine. But everyone knows about the availability and quality of 98th gasoline in our country. Therefore, this is a completely justified decision to reduce the power of the motor, and the fuel consumption is lower.

CX 7 is the first model of Mazda, which was sharpened under russian market Auto: if we compare with the original American version, then the changes were subjected to the technology of body painting, bumper, suspension, and mirrors, which received additional rotation repeaters. It's nice of course getting such care from Japanese developers. But if even clearance was increased under russian expensive, it would be just perfect. But the fuel consumption is quite acceptable here, let's look at it.

Fuel consumption and other parameters Mazda CX 7

Fuel consumption at CX 7 is 15.3 liters per 100 kilometers in urban conditions. Country roads fuel consumption is 11.5 liters. Of course, this fuel consumption is not a record for the crossover market, but it is quite acceptable if the engine capacity is taken into account. Test Drive showed that such fuel economy Perfect for both Russian roads.

The suspension of this car model in our opinion functions optimally: it is not so soft to influence the steep turns, but not too hard. On large problem areas, the road is pretty shakes, well, the small suspension "eats" without any problems. On steep turns, a little "valve" is felt, but in a car where clearance is 205 mm - this is quite an excuse. It must be remembered that CX 7 is a crossover, and not a racing car. The brakes and the steering wheel react quite sharply, which does not interfere with comfortable ride. Handling in this car closer to passenger carthanks to the "SUV".

Noise level

In this car, the noise level is medium. In the cabin, the sound of the motor will be heard only on very high revolutions (but by idling In general, it is hard to determine whether the engine works or not, it goes so quiet). However, in spite of the developers declared by the developers, a record low coefficient of aerodynamic resistance, the noise of the air flow is well heard at high speed. You can write off this by 205 mm clearance or a certain illusion, because when you do not hear the engine - you start paying attention to other sounds.

Design

Not only engineers deserve the "five" for the development of the car. The designer team also worked on fame. The sports component here is implemented simply great. It looks like a car rather aggressive due to the large lower air intake, the front racks that have a large angle of inclination. Also "aggression" contributes predatory headlights, wide and muscular arches of wheels, in which there are wheels with disks in 18-inch. It looks like a car in the urban stream unusual, stands out among other standard cars, which confirms the test drive.

In the rear of CX 7, the sports spirit is felt in the bevelled roof and the rear top spoiler, as well as in two powerful pipes. graduation system and lanterns with round reflectors. It is worth saying that these lights and truth cause some associations with the famous Lexus RH of the first generation. But we decided to write it off on such a thing as "ideas that twist in the air."

Often car manufacturers Trying to add their crossops the appearance of small and brutal SUVs (an excellent example is Land Rover Frealender 2), but Mazda decided to focus on sports appearance. And it should be noted that the company did not lose here, the car looks great. CX 7 is like sports car, which in any second to break from the place.

Interior Salon

So, our test drive approached the interior. You can't tell about the interior. But one thing is clear - the salon in this car does not correspond to the technical characteristics and appearance of the body. Why so - it is not clear. The steering wheel here is adjustable in height, which can become a problem for high people - it is necessary to immediately keep in mind (there will be no jokes about the growth of the Japanese). In addition, even in the "fidelled" version, there is no such function as speakerphonewhich should work on Bluetooth. The GPS system will have to put it yourself, because this system is only for the American market. Parktronic here is also not observed. Climate control is there, but one-one. Although it is enough.
