Sleek and assertive outside…

The athletic character is the first thing you notice. A front windshield more raked than many out-and-out sports cars. The aggressively styled lower air intake. A compact upper grille.

The front end is strong and sophisticated; the bonnet well-defined. You’ll then notice the flat roofline, an upward sweeping belt line and muscular bumpers guarding 18” wheels. At the back, the sporty theme continues with two large tailpipes and detailed round tail lights.

It all adds to the Mazda CX-7’s assertive road presence.

…sporty and stylish inside

Inside, the sports car-inspired cockpit shows the Mazda CX-7's keen sense of detail. The dashboard is pleasing and functional, set with an ergonomic and easy-to-read three-pod gauge cluster, which is backlit by indirect blue lighting during night-time driving. Design was key in developing this vehicle and styling accents include red illuminated black-out meters and indirect blue ambient illumination for the centre console, with silver-finish trim frames around the instruments, centre console and armrests.

In short, this is a car to be admired – whether you’re looking in or out.

Comprehensively protected

No-one likes to think about the worst happening. With the Mazda CX-7’s exhaustive set of active and passive safety features, you really don’t have to. A finely tuned braking system, rigid body structure and excellent visibility ensure you’re in control.

Safely cocooned

Designed using the Mazda Advanced Impact energy Distribution and Absorption System, the Mazda CX-7 provides high levels of safety in the event of a collision, from any direction. High-strength steel is used where appropriate, while sub-frame connections help to absorb collision energy.

For peace of mind and protection of all passengers there are six airbags – front and side for front occupants, plus curtain airbags for all occupants. Also standard are front seat belt pre-tensioners and load-limiters, which work in conjunction with the airbag system to offer maximum protection in the event of a collision.

Stop right there

Powerful disc brakes at each wheel, with electronic Anti-lock Braking System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution and Emergency Brake Assist, will swiftly bring you to a standstill. On the move Dynamic Stability Control and Traction Control optimise road holding on slippery surfaces and tight bends.

Passive safety features include an energy-absorbing steering shaft, impact-absorbing front seats and a brake pedal with a mechanism to prevent rearward movement.

See the benefits

At night, Xenon headlights are easier on the eye, which helps to keep you more alert. They produce more than twice as much light as a halogen bulb, so you can see the road much more clearly. But they also use less power, freeing it up for other car functions.

When weather conditions really take a turn for the worse the rear fog lamps are a welcome safety aid and you also benefit from automatic dusk sensing headlights and front fog lamps.
