The CX-7, which was based on the MX-Crossport concept, is a midsize crossover that combines SUV capabilities with the agility of a sporty car, resulting in an enjoyable ride.

The CX-7 has a distinctive instrument panel with a "double-roof" design in its cabin. The controls are sensibly placed and the materials used are of good quality. It is spacious enough for both front and rear passengers to travel comfortably on longer trips.
