New Mazda CX-7 ‘Sports Crossover’ On Sale At Waters AutoPlanet From 1st November


Waters Mazda Chingford is looking forward to the arrival of the new Mazda CX-7 'Sports Crossover' at its Lea Valley Road showroom, which goes on sale from 1 November.

Available as one highly equipped model, the Mazda CX-7 Sport Tech Diesel delivers a truly unique driving experience by combining handling characteristics more attune to a sports car, with an imposing road-presence and good everyday practicality.

“In the best Mazda tradition, the new Mazda CX-7 enables us to offer drivers in Chingford a distinctive Sports Crossover that is different from the huge line-up of SUV-type vehicles currently available,” explains Steve Bullimore, Dealer Principal for Waters Mazda Chingford. “With its sporty appearance, new CX-7 is more heavily orientated towards a sportscar in its styling and driving dynamics, while offering an SUV-style commanding driving position and a strong road presence that portrays Mazda’s ‘dare to be different’ brand identity.”

Mazda CX-7 Sport Tech Diesel features a powerful and refined 173ps, 2.2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder MZR-CD diesel engine that generates 400Nm of torque at 2000rpm. Meanwhile, combined fuel economy returns 37.7mpg and CO2 emissions are 199g/km.

The new model has a six-speed manual transmission with an ‘overdrive’ top gear (0.711:1), Mazda’s unique Active Torque 4-wheel drive system, which distributes up to 50 percent of engine torque to the rear wheels to maintain traction, a five percent stiffer bodyshell, re-tuned suspension, revised gear ratios and reduced cabin noise.

“This new Mazda combines sensationally spirited performance, thanks to excellent levels of torque that delivers strong acceleration and a responsive drive, with genuine everyday practicality and remarkable refinement,” continues Bullimore. “It’s not a huge vehicle designed for the country that will be brought into town – it is a Sports Crossover with plenty of attitude, versatile ability and great dynamics that out-perform the class, result in an exciting driving experience.”

New Mazda CX-7 has a more dynamic ‘face’ with a larger five-point grille and chrome detailing, a chrome garnish along the bottom of the doors, a larger rear spoiler, new design larger 19-inch alloy wheels and Xenon headlights.

Inside, the new model has generous space for five occupants to travel in comfort, while the sports utility-style rear seat functionality and generous boot space (455 litres with the rear seats upright), make this Mazda an ideal vehicle for multi-activity lifestyles.

The split rear seats can be folded 60/40 using Mazda’s unique Karakuri system with a one‑touch rear seat back release located in the boot trim side panel. With the back seats folded, load space increases to 774 litres.

The CX-7 Sport Tech offers numerous premium features as standard, including: leather seats, climate control air-conditioning, cruise control, electric front and rear windows, electric driver’s and front passenger’s heated seats, a bespoke BOSE® premium surround sound audio system with 6-CD autochanger and nine speakers, plus integrated satellite navigation and Bluetooth® technology (that enables wireless operation of both mobile phones and playing MP3 devices through the car’s audio system).

New safety features include an Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS) system, which automatically activates the hazard warning lights whenever the driver brakes abruptly and heavily, and Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM). This system aids safe lane-changing using wide-angle radar units to monitor traffic behind the CX-7 and warns the driver of an approaching vehicle before he/she has a chance to move across into a busy lane by mistake.

Exploiting the computerised electronics of the four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) system, CX-7 also offers a Traction Control System (TCS), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA). Like the majority of Mazda models, the CX-7 is equipped with front, side and curtain airbags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners and load-limiters.

“I am convinced that there is still plenty of life in the UK’s SUV segment and with the Mazda CX-7 delivering sporty handling and a rewarding driving experience the new model sets Mazda apart from its rivals,” concludes Bullimore.

The new Mazda CX-7 is priced at £25,785 (on the road) and available in a choice of five colours.
