Mazda CX-7

The CX-7 offers a blend of sports car verve and SUV practicality in a way that few other crossover vehicles can, and has garnered high praise by consumers and media as a true driver's vehicle.

The 2.5-liter DOHC inline-four delivers 161 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and offers maximum torque of 161 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm. By coupling this engine to a light-weight, efficient, five-speed automatic transmission and using a front-wheel-drive layout, this new powertrain combination returns fuel economy of 20/28 mpg (city/highway). This drivetrain combination is available on the SV and Sport models only, and only with front-wheel-drive.
