Pare che il motore da debutto dell'imminente CX-7 (si parla di metà 2006) sarà una versione depotenziata del quattro cilindri turbo 2.3 litri che equipaggia la 6 mps... avra' solo 244cv.  :o :o :o

All-New Mazda CX-7

The Mazda CX-7 crossover sport-utility vehicle (SUV) will make its public debut at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, and the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2006.

Arriving in the North American market in the first half of 2006 and in the Australian market a year later, the five-seat 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 Sports car?. It is a vehicle that brings together performance and design like never before.

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. Large eighteen-inch aluminum wheels proclaim CX-7?s Zoom-Zoom intentions.

The sporty interior fulfills every car enthusiast?s innate desire to jump in and drive. Along with this sporty overall image, high quality is achieved through detailed craftsmanship.

The Mazda CX-7 is powered by a turbocharged and intercooled 2.3-liter four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine, MZR 2.3L DISI TURBO that in North American tune produces a hearty 180 kilowatts at 5,000 rpm.

A High-Styled Crossover SUV With the Soul of a Sportscar

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 SUVs 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 form-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 produces 244-horsepower at 5,000 rpm. While key powertrain features are shared with the recently launched MAZDASPEED6, the Mazda CX-7 is exclusively tuned to deliver 258 lb-ft of torque at a remarkably low 2,500 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: Front-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.

Mazda North American Operations is responsible for the sales and marketing, customer parts and service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States. Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., MNAO has more than 700 dealerships nationwide.

ZOOOOM ZOOOOOMMMM ZOOM ZOOM! ;D

Che vuoi tu ? Solo 244 cv da un 2.3... minimo ti farà cagare  :P :P :P ;D :-*

mi fa cagare la linea, la potenza specifica non la commento se no mi fate le paturnie, comunque meglio una versione così piuttosto che un diesel sportivo!

Non è molto distante dal prototipo che però, imho, seppur co ncmabiamenti lievissimi ,fa un altro effetto.

viste su autopareri.com

Belli, ma questi, gli interni, li comprano direttamente in Alfa? O li smontano nottetempo dalle varie 147 parcheggiate in strada?

Niente male secondo me.

Molto bello , con un diesel venderebbe bene in Europa.

E il gruppo Fiat proporrà suv di questo genere??

no

Belllllllo  :D

ecco, l'abbiamo perso... ;D ;D ;D

Davanti è caruccio, ma dietro è un plinto! E pure la fiancata non scherza  :-X

Una cosa non ho capito, ma questa sarebbe un SUV? ??? Impossibile dai, l'altezza da terra è minore della 147!  :P :-X

Molto bella!

...sono sempre più convinto che Mazda stia veramente facendo delle belle cose in questi ultimi anni....un ottimo esempio di casa giapponese che cerca il proprio stile e fascino.

stavo pensando la stessa cosa ;D
sarà anche bello (e lo è relativamente ai concorrenti), ma è davvero basso x essere un suv...nelle prime foto l'avevo scambiato x una segmento c

a me non sembra cosi basso...

Nemmeno a me... forse pensano sia lungo 3 metri e le ruote da 13"....  :P ;D

Dai, la luce da terra è bassa ... secondo me meno di una Crosswagon ... e cmq non ha niente del SUV, è più una monvolume, quando l'ho vista mi è venuta in mente la Mazda 5 (PS: non posso postare foto, da casa me le visualizza male  :-\).

niente male
anche gli interni sono belli
