The Mazda CX-7 is a midsize SUV that was sold in Australia between 2006 and 2012.
Rivalling the Toyota Rav4, Holden Captiva, Mitsubishi Outlander, and Nissan X-Trail, the CX-7 aimed to combine the power of a hot-hatch with the practicality of an SUV.
Initially sold with a 2.3-litre turbo-petrol engine straight out of the Mazda3 MPS, the CX-7 was later offered with an efficiency-oriented turbo-diesel and more affordable naturally-aspirated petrol; broadening the range from the $9,680 CX-7 Diesel Sports (4x4) to the $15,400 CX-7 Luxury Sports (4x4) in later years.
