I bought a sports luxury a month ago, I am getting around 13L/100km so far, not too bad for a awd.

The ride is harsh, the seats don’t have enough bolster to hold the passenger, a lot of rattles mainly coming from the dash.

The BMW X1 is much much better and I almost bought one, sigh……

“Feels empty”? WTF? The CX7 has one of the stiffest rides out there, definitely not comfort biased for an Suv!

Murano ST or Forester XT gets my vote!

They have a common issue of breaking engine mounts, so get them checked out MAX!

I have a Cx7 standard and it feels like it has no guts and its noisey to travel in.i wish my husdand would have got a Ford Territory.

Nithian.. Can’t agree about the consumption..I’ve kept detailed records for 18 months and get 11.8 l/100klm overall and 10.9 on trips…the Computer currently shows 12 as being the overall figure so I/m pretty close..34000klm on the clock and still going well

I have had the new diesel CX7 for the past month and have to say I love it – more than enough power and heaps of torque! Average consumption of about 7.5-8.4L per 100km stop/start driving around town depending on how heavy my foot is which I think is a good figure for a car of its size. Yet to take it on a long trip so look forward to seeing those averages drop………

Yes I agree the consumption is shocking – tried driving using auto cruise often but this did not help much. The best consumption was 479km on a full tank.
Wish there could be something that Mazda could do to improve the consumption.

You have no idea what you are talking about, the ride is safe, smooth and equal to a Murano. The Nissan does feel empty (tested one) but the CX7 is uncomparable.
