The Mazda CX-7 is a five-passenger midsize crossover SUV. Those familiar with Mazda's product line might recognize the CX-7's design cues right away, some of which are inspired by the RX-8 and Miata. Mazda essentially began with a sports coupe design as its baseline and then inflated it into a more functional and rugged vehicle. The stylish interior also reflects the Mazda CX-7's sporty inspiration.

The Mazda CX-7's standard equipment includes cruise control; 18-inch wheel and tires; ABS brakes; traction control; stability control and power windows, locks and mirrors. The Touring and Grand Touring trims add luxury items such as leather seats and front seat heaters. Options packages include a moon-roof and Bose Audio Package with an in-dash six-CD changer. A Technology Package features satellite navigation, a rearview camera and a voice control system.
