The inline-4 of Mazda CX7 gives above average power and can achieve 0-60 mph in 7.7 seconds; CX9 takes 7.4 seconds to achieve 0.60 mph. Gas mileage of both these vehicles is fair. The EPA-rated of Mazda CX7 is 17mpg in city driving and 23mpg on the highway. Mazda CX9 model earns 16mpg in the city and 22mpg on the highway for a 2-wheel drive. All-wheel drive versions offer about 1mpg lesser.
The Mazda CX9 sports 18-inch alloy wheels in the sports models and 20 inch wheels in the top-end grand touring. This series has full power accessories, air conditioning, telescoping steering wheel with mounted cruise and audio controls and a lot more. Mazda CX7 is equipped with standard air conditioning, an AM/FM/CD audio system, cruise control, power windows and mirrors. Both the series have similar trim levels such as base sport, mid-range touring and high-end grand touring.
The grand touring offered by the Mazda CX7 series features leather upholstery, heated exterior mirrors and automatic climate controls. The CX9 grand touring offers 20-inch wheels, rain sensing wipers, xenon headlights, keyless ignition and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. CX9 is sporty and roomy as compared to CX7 but the 20-inch wheels take away some of the smoothness in the ride. However, money spent in any of these series is well spent because they cater quality better than any other competitors.





Released in 2002, the Mazda 6 was essentially the fourth in its generation, but is better known as the Mazda 626 replacement. The Mazda 6’s GG platform was a progression of the previous model’s GF platform. The spacious Mazda 6 ultimately became the successor to the 626 model and is known by Mazda 6 Brisbane enthusiasts as a solid combination of style and handling ability.
