I was thinking about buying a used Mazda CX-7, but just because I’m getting a used car doesn’t mean I want a bucket of bolts. What’s the top speed for the CX-7?
In 2012, buyers had a choice of two engines for their CX-7:
161-hp 2.5L inline-four
244-hp turbocharged 2.3L inline-four
The 244-horsepower turbocharged engine is what gets you to 130 mph, and it was available on the s Touring trim and the s Grand Touring trim, so if you’re really interested in speed, you should go for one of those.
Here are a few additional specs for the turbo engine:
244 horsepower @ 5000 rpm
258 lb-ft of torque @ 2500 rpm
0-60 mph in 10.1 seconds
