Mazda CX-7 diesel: at last

First Opinion

The CX-7 was a car originally designed for the North American market, hence why it was only ever offered with a large petrol engine until now. But with a strong and

relatively frugal diesel unit under the bonnet, typically impressive Mazda dynamics and a fresh new look, its been given the chance it always deserved to succeed in this

country. The drawback is the price - at almost £26,000 it's encroaching on the territory of more premium compact SUVs.
