Mazda CX-7 - Pictures

The CX-7 provides views of a off-roader with the sharp handling a hatchback. 

The car will rival cars like the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Hyundai ix35 and the Kia Sportage. 

The interior has a sporty feel and has good build quality, however due to a mass of buttons on the dashboard the interior can look cluttered.  

The drive is much more involving compared to other four-wheel drive cars. 

The ride is firm, but the dampers do a good job absorbing the bumps. 

The bootspace is 455-litres, which is less than the CX-5.
