The MZR 2.3L DISI turbo engine found in the Mazdaspeed3
and Mazdaspeed6 has been retuned in the North American-Spec CX-7 to deliver torque at a lower RPM for less turbo lag off the line, at the cost of power. This was achieved thanks to a redesigned, smaller KO4 turbocharger
. UK-Spec CX-7's feature the same, larger KO4 turbocharger and transmission found in the Mazdaspeed line.
, and a choice of either front wheel drive or Mazda's Active Torque-Split all wheel drive system.
