Vehicle Overview
The CX-7 five-seat crossover is priced between the Tribute and the larger CX-9 crossover in the Mazda lineup. The CX-7 was designed to deliver the utility of a small SUV and the driving experience of a passenger car. Its competitors include the Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander and Nissan Murano in one regard, but the CX-7's sporty nature and wagonlike shape also liken it to the Volkswagen Tiguan and Infiniti EX35.

engine. This trim level includes a power adjustable driver's seat, heated front
seats, leather trim, a rearview camera and a power moonroof.
