Performance
intercooled turbo diesel engine
The Diesel Sports model brings guilt-free performance to the CX-7 range with a refined yet torquey 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine, impressive economy and clean emissions. 127kW of power and a generous 400Nm of torque ensure sporty performance while fuel economy of just 7.6 litres per 100km on the combined cycle and a Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) system for ultra clean emissions will make you feel good about it.
DISI turbocharged petrol engine
CX-7 Classic Sports and Luxury Sports deliver sports car like performance through a 2.3 litre direct injection turbocharged petrol engine. With 175kW of power and 350Nm of torque on tap you'll feel exhilarated every time you put your foot down. A combined fuel economy figure of 11.5 litres per 100km and Euro stage IV clean emissions are also something to smile about.
Naturally aspirated petrol engine
Known for its efficiency and driveability, the proven 2.5 litre naturally aspirated 4 cylinder petrol engine in CX-7 Classic is characterised by strong torque at low to mid-range speeds and by superb balance and economy. The 2.5 litre engine uses just 9.4 litres of fuel for every 100km on the combined cycle.
Active Torque Split (ATS) AWD system
Both 2.3 litre DISI turbocharged petrol and 2.2L turbo diesel engines are matched to the Active Torque Split (ATS) all-wheel drive system ensuring the performance is delivered to the road. An onboard computer using real-time data on steering angle, yaw rate, lateral G force and engine status, determines road surface and driving conditions, distributing the optimal amount of torque to each wheel.
Fuel efficiency
CX-7 Classic features impressive fuel economy of 9.4 litres per 100km. CX-7 Diesel Sports will have you the envy of your friends with a head-turning fuel economy of 7.6 litres per 100km.
*Fuel consumption's figures are for the combined cycle and are based on ADR 81/02 test results.
Suspension
Tuned to suit the power characteristics of each engine, the suspension system of the CX-7 features MacPherson struts up front and multi links at the rear. This allow precise control of wheel orientation, ensuring a good grip on every road surface while maximising stability and ride comfort.
Transmissions
Both 5-speed (Classic) and 6-speed (Classic Sports and Luxury Sports) Activematic (auto) transmissions are superbly matched to their respective engine's performance characteristics and also assist to improve fuel economy. Both feature a pseudo-manual mode for control of upshifts and downshifts during spirited driving. The slick-shifting 6-speed manual (Diesel Sports) is a perfect match to the high torque of the diesel engine.
