practicality Mazda Motor Corporation (MC) today revealed the eagerly awaited 2007 Mazda CX-7 crossover sport-utility vehicle (SUV) at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show. This breakthrough model also will be displayed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. “CX-7 represents everything a Mazda SUV should be: powerful, with great styling and detailed craftsmanship and fun-to-drive. Mazda at its finest,” said Doug Dickson, Managing Director of Mazda Australia. CX-7 will go on sale in Australia early 2007 and will compliment the Tribute range. CX-7 is a clean break from the fleet of traditional SUVs currently offered. It is engineered with Mazda’s trademark, “Soul of a Sportscar” and built entirely on Mazda-derived platform architecture. Program manager Shunsuke Kawasaki shows his confidence by stating, “There is no doubt this SUV reflects Zoom-Zoom. CX-7 skillfully blends sports car verve with SUV practicality. It is a vehicle that brings together performance and design like never before and this deviation from the crossover norm is inviting to look at, entertaining to drive, and fun to use.” The CX-7 is just right for adventurous couples seeking a new challenge and driven by the urge for discovery.

Mazda Motor Corporation este o companie producatoare de automobile din Japonia, cu sediul in Hiroshima.

Mazda si-a inceput activitatea ca Toyo Cork Kogyo Co., Ltd. in anul 1920. Toyo Kogyo a venit in lumea automobilistica cu introducerea pe piata a modelului Mazda-Go in 1931, un automobil pe 3 roti, de asemenea ei produceau arme pentru armata japoneza in timpul celui de al II-lea Razboi Mondial. Compania a adoptat formal numele Mazda in 1984, chiar daca toate automobilele vindute pina atunci purtau numele Mazda. Primul automobil pe patru roti a fost Mazda R360 introdus in 1960, urmat de Mazda Carol in 1962.

Compania Ford a cumparat in 1979 25% din actiunile companiei Mazda, si a crescut cota acestora pina la 33.4% obtinind pachetul de control in 1996 cind Mazda a intrat intr-o criza financiara. Ford s-a bazat in multe din modelele sale pe cele de la Mazda, asa cum Probe, care au dat nastere Nord Americanului Ford Escort si Mercury Tracer, dar co-produsul Escape/Mazda Tribute.

1979 a pus calea pentru vanzarea marcilor Ford/Mazda Laser si Telstar in Asia si Australia. Aceste modele au inlocuit pe cele de la Ford Europe vandute pana in 1970. Ford, de asemenea, a folosit modele Mazda pentru a-si stabili prezenta in Japonia - Autorama dealers au vandut aceste modele dar si ocazional modele Ford americane si europene.

Anul 2000 vine cu sfarsitul rebranding-ului Ford inlocuind modelul Laser cu propriul Focus, iar Tlestar cu Mondeo.

In 2005, compania a vandut aproximativ 800 mii automobile in Japonia, Europa si SUA.
