Like I've said... the Mazda6 is actually okay compared to other cars of its size... though others, like the CX9, are indeed guzzlers...

The problem is that the BT50 comes from the Southeast Asia operations of Mazda... not Mazda Japan or USA... the Japanese market and US market vehicles of Mazda don't come with the new high-tech diesels they get in the European market. Hopefully Ford/Mazda will decide to share the 2.0 TDCi architecture amongst their higher end products... I can see that engine doing well in the Mazda6 and the CX7.

I think if I'm not mistaken, it has something to do also with trade relations between Asean and the EU. Ford Group Phils. cannot just import these engines from Europe without the Free Trade agreement wherein duties are remove. Without these trade agreement, cost of these diesel engines will skyrocket bec. of huge taxes.

Mazda is using its limited global assets carefully focusing its diesel technology in diesel-mad Europe.

Mazda CX-7 is already officially launched!

http://www.topgear.com.ph/news/mazda...-refreshed-cx9

Mazda Philippines has freshened up its product line with the introduction of two crossover sport-utility vehicles (SUV)--the new Mazda CX-7 and the revised Mazda CX-9.

The new Mazda CX-7 is a midsize SUV that fits perfectly between the compact Mazda Tribute and the full-size Mazda CX-9. It's being sold at P1.495 million.

Up front, the new Mazda fascia is hard to miss as it sits on the CX-7's large five-point grille and black mesh linings. The SUV sports a roof spoiler and the tapered rear side windows, giving the CX-7 an athletic rear haunch. Complementing the Mazda CX-7's sporty exterior is an interior that evokes nothing but class. The center panel's dark grey metallic finish conveys a sense of composed refinement while the sliding and reclining leather seats give it a stylish atmosphere.
With an MZR 2.5-liter engine capable of putting out 161hp and 205Nm of torque on tap paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, the CX-7 assures sporty handling and superb driving performance. Couple this with a 2,750mm wheelbase and the all-new CX-7 gives passengers a higher level of athleticism.

The Mazda CX-7 comes with dual front, side, and curtain airbags for driver and passenger safety. It is also equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) with EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), DSC (Dynamic Control Stability), and TCS (Traction Control System) that automatically reduces driveline torque to help restore traction. Security features include remote keyless entry and burglar alarm system for the Mazda CX-7 owner's peace of mind.
"It is a perfect example of a sport crossover SUV that has all the functions of an all-wheel drive SUV with its comfort, dynamic performance, sporty handling and stylish finish," said Steven Tan, Mazda Philippines vice president for marketing and sales.

Meanwhile, Mazda has refreshed the CX-9 (P2.899 million) with a facelift that starts with an elegantly sculpted five-point grille which again carries the new Mazda fascia. Complementing it are combination lamps and fog lamps in front as well as the dual chrome exhaust pipes and garnish at the rear.

Bad news for Mazda is that the 2010 Hyundai Tucson iX will also be launched probably next month.

Based on these excerpts...

Does the CX-7 have lesser HP than the Tucson iX? Accdg to this site: http://www.worldcarfans.com/10908252...mages-released

The Tucson ix will come with Hyundai's latest 2.0 liter Theta II gasoline engine with 166 hp coupled with the automaker's new 6-speed transmission.

Is HARI releasing the same variant here?
Does the CX-7 have AWD or is this just "marketing speak" to lure buyers away from the Forester 2.5?

FWD lang ang CX7 na ilalabas sa pinas and it's ok for me.....

Less HP on paper... but the 2.5 will have a lot more torque thank the 2.0, so will be quicker in most aspects, if the weight is similar. Peak HP matters much, much less than average HP.

-

With TCS and DSC, the CX-7 will have the same safety as a good AWD vehicle, but it will not have the same off-road traction or ability as the Forester. I don't know if it comes with an LSD. If it does, then it will be just as good as an AWD vehicle on the road, in all respects short of 10/10ths driving. It still won't be as good off-road... but you can be surprised what you can do in the mud with just 2WD...
