The Mazda CX-7 is brand new for 2007, a sleek crossover arriving at a time when consumers are switching from traditional SUVs to these more efficient car-based sport-utes in record numbers. Aimed at people who love to drive (our staff), the CX-7 gets the same turbocharged four-cylinder as the MazdaSpeed 3 and 6, making 244 horsepower in this application and optionally coupled with Mazda’s active torque-split AWD system. Forget about third-row seats; there isn’t one in this SUV. Instead, the CX-7 provides a good-sized cargo area and a flat load floor. Acura sells a similar package called the RDX at a premium price, but also provides premium materials and equipment not found on the Mazda.
