Overview
2008 Mazda CX-7 GRAND TOURING Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
With the full-size SUVs falling from public favor, manufacturers are pinning their hopes on a new class of SUV, commonly referred to as the crossover. The crossover combines the ride and handling of a car with the high seating position and spacious cargo hold of a large SUV, but without the larger vehicle's penalties for fuel economy and maneuverability. One such vehicle is the 2008 Mazda CX-7, a sleek, five-passenger SUV with the heart of a sports car. Designed to evoke the same sporty image as Mazda's flagship performance coupe, the RX-8, the CX-7 may be the sportiest crossover you can buy for under $25,000. Although the CX-7's turbocharged four-cylinder engine may be a radical departure for those accustomed to a big V8, we think consumers will quickly warm up to its powerful performance and reasonable fuel consumption.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
If you're the type who prefers a sport coupe to a station wagon, but the realities of family life mean you need interior space and versatility, the 2008 Mazda CX-7's roomy rear seat, optional all-wheel drive and seductive good looks present a workable compromise. Those who require seating for seven or the ability to tow more than 2000 pounds won't be enthusiastic about the CX-7. Drivers accustomed to a permanently-engaged four-wheel-drive system may not warm to the CX-7's Active Torque Split all-wheel-drive system that engages only when the front tires slip.
What's New for 2008
A new catalytic converter and engine tuning mean premium fuel is now recommended, but not required.
