Aesthetically seems to imitate the super sportive RX-8 characteristics and the no less spectacular Mazda 6 MPS. Although for the bodywork seems to have 4X4 characteristics and his reality outside of the road is very limited and it wouldn’t be able to go up of uphills because his bad attack angle.

We can find a Sportive Mazda CX 7 turbo 5p with 258 CV of potency and 2,3 liters motor for 37,800 euros approximately, equipped with total automatic traction. His direct competition can be the BMW X3 3.0si (48,200 euros) or the Lexus RX 350 (from 54,960 euros), both with gasoline motor and similar potency.

The North American brand Dodge Nitro presents us their 4,0 V6 model with the same potency, but is smaller and the motor has worse reactions in the highway. Besides the price is superior in more than 2,000 euros.

The CX 7 are thought to circulate by asphalt, out of the asphalt his use is very limited because it doesn’t have reducing gear and is not conceived to attack big uphills neither speed bumps.

The cheapest option if we want a vehicle with similar concept is the Seat Altea Freetrack, with 2,0 TSI turbo motor that develops 200 CV. All for 29,900 euros.
