2010 Mazda CX-7

2010 MAZDA CX-7: SOPHISTICATED, SUSTAINABLE AND DETAILED

Sporty crossover gains new engine option, plus styling and engineering enhancements

 

Launched in 2006 as a 2007 model, the Mazda CX-7 offers a blend of sports car verve and SUV practicality in a way that few other crossover vehicles can, and has garnered high praise by consumers and media as a true driver’s vehicle.    

“A key word in the development process of the 2010 CX-7 was refinement,” said Masashi Otsuka, Mazda Motor Corporation’s CX-7 program manager.  “The vehicle we had to start with was already really good and well liked by consumers, so my team didn’t have to start over, but simply refine.”  For 2010, the CX-7 continues to offer more of what has made it a success and adds characteristics of sophistication, sustainability and detail.

To address a customer request, the highlight of Otsuka’s team’s work for the 2010 model year is the development of a more economical example of the already thrifty CX-7.  This model will incorporate an all-new naturally aspirated DOHC 16-valve 2.5-liter MZR four-cylinder engine coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission.  The existing MZR 2.3-liter DISI Turbo (direct injection DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder) engine will still be offered in the upper trim levels.

Sold worldwide, the 2010 CX-7 made its debut at the 2009 Canadian International Auto Show in February and made its first appearance in the United States at the 2009 New York International Auto Show.

2010 MAZDA CX-9: BOLDER AND MORE SOPHISTICATED

 

As the saying goes, there is always room for improvement.  In the automotive industry, minor improvements often come in the form of performance, handling and design – all things that have become synonymous with Mazda vehicles.  So, naturally, when the Mazda design, engineering and product marketing divisions sat down to discuss minor refreshes for the 2010 CX-9, they quickly realized just how challenging the task would be.  

 

An instant success when it first hit the market in 2007, the CX-9 raised the bar for three-row crossover SUVs.  From its dynamic styling and safety to versatility and performance, Mazda’s flagship crossover SUV continues to wow customers and automotive critics alike as it moves into its fourth year of production.  For the 2010 model year, the CX-9 receives a significant exterior and interior facelift, added options, including available Real Time Traffic (RTT), and reinforced safety features.

Mazda 3 Springfield Missouri

October 1, 2009

Irvine, CA (September 10, 2009) – Mazda today reported that its all-new 2010 MAZDA3 has been awarded the prestigious Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).To qualify for Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of good in the Institute’s front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with Electronic Stability Control. Criteria to win are tough because the award is intended to drive continued safety improvements such as top crash test ratings and the rapid addition of electronic stability control, which is standard on most trim levels of the MAZDA3.”Recognizing vehicles at the head of the class for safety helps consumers distinguish the best overall choices without having to sort through multiple test results,” says Insurance Institute President Adrian Lund.Combined with the top 5-star ratings in the US government’s NHTSA frontal and side driver crash tests, MAZDA3 is one of the safest choices in a small car. The all-new MAZDA3 comes standard with frontal and side airbags and roof mounted side air curtains, in addition to active head restraints that move closer to the driver’s head in the event of a rear impact. Coupled with available Dynamic Stability Control, tire pressure monitors, strong Triple-H body construction and anti-lock brakes, the MAZDA3 offers a comprehensive safety package.”Mazda is known for cars that are fun to drive because they have superb steering, brakes and overall handling,” said Jim O’Sullivan, president and CEO of Mazda North American Operations. “This active safety helps avoid the accident in the first place and makes the MAZDA3 a perfect example of safety meets zoom-zoom!”In the IIHS 40 mph frontal offset test, 40 percent of the total width of each vehicle strikes a barrier on the driver side. The barrier’s deformable face is made of aluminum honeycomb, which makes the forces in the test similar to those involved in a frontal offset crash between two vehicles of the same weight, each going just less than 40 mph. For the side test, a 31 mph (50 km/h) perpendicular impact into the driver side of a passenger vehicle. The moving deformable barrier that strikes the test vehicle weighs 3,300 pounds (1,500 kg) and has a front end shaped to simulate the typical front end of a pickup or SUV. The rear impact sled test of the seat simulates a rear-end crash with a velocity change of 10 mph, approximately equivalent to a stationary vehicle being struck at 20 mph by a vehicle of the same weight.Celebrating its 40th Anniversary in the United States in 2010, Mazda North American Operations is headquartered in Irvine, Calif. and oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda vehicles in the United States, Canada and Mexico through nearly 900 dealers. Operations in Canada are managed by Mazda Canada, Inc., located in Ontario; and in Mexico by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City.

MAZDASPEED3

When it comes to bold style and electrifying performance, Mazda has always been at the forefront. So it should come as no surprise that the 2010 MAZDASPEED3 has taken what made their vehicles so great to drive and tripled the fun factor.

Drivers will love the slick and sporty black interior, packed with snazzy features like black semi-bucket front seats, new LED turbo boost gauge, new tachometer emblazoned with the MAZDASPEED logo, driver-oriented dashboard, and organic red graphic design and red stitching throughout. Powered by the award-winning MZR 2.3-liter DISI Turbo engine, it has a top speed of 155 mph, 263 horsepower at 5,500 rpm, and 280 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,000 rpm, along with low-viscosity transmission fluid that will allow the specially-designed, 6-speed manual transmission to function perfectly even on the coldest of days.

If you want features, this Mazdaspeed3 has them in spades. Dual-zone climate control, variable intermittent windshield wipers, aluminum pedals, roof-mounted aerodynamic antenna, electroluminescent gauges, and illuminated vanity mirrors are some of the many features that come standard on this vehicle. Plus, you can also get it with the available MAZDASPEED3 Tech Package that includes a premium 10-speaker BOSE sound system with digital amplifier, noise cancellation technology, and BOSE Centerpoint surround sound; a compact full-color navigation system; SIRIUS satellite radio; 6-disc CD changer; advanced keyless entry; perimeter alarm; and push-button start.

One of the most award-winning vehicles in recent times, the Mazda CX-9 has been named the top of its class and received the AutoPacific 2009 Vehicle Satisfaction Award (VSA).  The VSA is an industry benchmark for objectively measuring how satisfied an owner is with a new car or light truck, and reflects the opinions of consumers nationwide.  Mazda CX-9 owners have ranked the vehicle tops in the ultra-competitive large crossover SUV segment.

The VSAs summarize the results of AutoPacific’s 2009 model year vehicle satisfaction research.  More than 25,000 consumers around the country participated in the survey. “Vehicles that score highest in AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Awards have hit the mark delivering value and satisfaction with their buyers by performing well in 48 separate categories that measure the ownership experience,” says AutoPacific president George Peterson.

“We are extremely honored to receive such a remarkable award,” said Jim O’Sullivan, president and CEO, Mazda North American Operations.  “The CX-9 is a clear class leader and we are proud consumers have recognized the value that this vehicle offers.”

The three-row Mazda CX-9 deftly blends sporty driving spirit with seven-passenger sport-utility vehicle (SUV) practicality.  CX-9 is powered by a 273-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine and features standard Roll Stability Control and an available Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system, which helps see and prevent the unexpected.  CX-9 has also received the top rating of 5-stars in frontal and side impact crashes from the US government’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) vehicle safety tests and a top rating of Good from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for front and side crash protection.  Priced from $29,400, the CX-9 is available in three trim levels – Sport, Touring and Grand Touring – and offers cutting-edge safety technology, high-quality craftsmanship and unique driving dynamics atypical of other vehicles in its class.
