2010 Mazda CX-7 unveiled in Chicago

The Mazda CX-7 for the 2010 model year will receive both exterior and interior upgrades to compensate for a skew of engineering improvements done on it. The first of these upgrades can be found in the powerplant itself.

The CX-7 will come with the brand new naturally ventilated DOHC 16-valve 2.5-liter MZR 4-cylinder that attains 161hp at 6000rpm with maximum torque of 161lb-ft at 3500rpm. It comes with FWD paired to a 5-speed auto. Included in the top engine choice is the MZR 2.3-liter DISI Turgo (direct injection DOHC 16-valve, 4-cylinder) powerplant. Yield stays the same at 244hp attained at 5000rpm with 258lb-ft of torque reached at 2,500rpm. Other improvements on the 2010 CX-7 includes body rigidity, reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels including reduction in wind noise.

I think the whole "M5" looking front apron make the car look very awkward.

Not massivly different from the old CX-7. Still like driving my wife's 08 CX-7.

Now if the can only fix the problem of selling the vehicles with the horrible Bridgstone Turanza EL42's. Those tires wear out in less than 20K no matter how well you rotate or take care of them.

First the 3, now the CX-7. Fuglier than the Acura Power Plenum... that's saying a lot!
