SUV Practicality with Improved Storage Space
The facelifted Mazda CX-7 has plenty of room for five adults to travel in comfort with their luggage. It is an ideal vehicle for active lifestyles with rear seats that fold down 60/40 by pulling on a latch on the side trim of the boot using Mazda's Karakuri system. A lip at the rear seats helps prevent heavier items from sliding forward, and a reversible water-proof board in the boot floor for carrying dirty items without staining the carpet.
There are numerous storage compartments placed around the cabin. The large centre console box holds up to 4.8 litres and has been upgraded for the facelift model with two new storage compartments at the top for more small-item storage. One of these is a 0.9-litre tray that is ideally shaped to hold a mobile phone, an MP3 player or sunglasses. And the tray at the bottom of the centre panel is now equipped with a rubber mat so that small items do not slide around.
