Japanese crossovers in our country have always been loved and popular. And even if there were ardent opponents of this technique, then they were divided into those who were simply unlucky and those who were not even able to buy such a car.

The topic of our article today is not one car, but three. These are popular crossovers CX3, CX5 and CX7.
The review will touch upon the features, configuration and such a burning topic as the "compatibility" of this technique with our conditions.

CX3 and CX5

Mazda crossover CX 5 is one of those cars that are praised more often than scolded. And you can see it in almost any major city. The situation in the world is about the same. The fastidious Europeans love the "five" for reliability, comfort and rather pleasant appearance... Americans traditionally trust Japanese quality. And the Russians just checked it on their roads. The CX 5 copes with both light off-road and rough terrain. And all this despite the fact that the car, well, not at all, is not for dirt and gravel.

The model was presented 3 years ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show. During this time, she experienced a restyling, but did not become less popular.

And all this, despite the fact that this car fits into a million rubles only in stock with minimal "buns". This does not stop brand lovers. However, this is not surprising - her classmates can rarely oppose anything to a completely successful japanese car... And further on the photo is a crossover Mazda CX9:

So let's move on to the TX model. Everything is pretty simple here. The car is sold in 4 configuration options:

• Drive (four-wheel drive / petrol / 2 l / 150 hp; front-wheel drive / 2 l / 150 l. / Automatic; front / 2.0 / 150 hp / mechanics).
• Active (four-wheel drive, automatic, 2 l / 150 hp; front-wheel drive / 2 l / 150 hp; four-wheel drive, diesel 2.2 l. / 175 hp, automatic)
• Active + (four-wheel drive, automatic, 192 hp)
• Syuprim (only all-wheel drive, petrol 2 l / 150 hp, diesel 2.2 l / 175 hp)

ABS, EBA and EBD are present on all trim levels. For this machine, such a set is standard, even in stock.

For the Mazda CX 5 crossover, the price varies from 1.1 to 1.5 million rubles. Will cost you the most diesel car in the Supreme configuration. If you are not confused by the high enough price, then this will be an excellent choice.

In this configuration, you get a safe braking system, dynamic stability control, a complete set of airbags and traction control.

CX5 is positioned as stylish car, guaranteeing reliability and safety to its owner. But it is also an image car, in which it is not a shame to appear in the city, whoever the owner of the car is.

By combining conservatism and creativity, the designers got exactly the product that the market needed - modern, stylish and high quality.

Mazda is like a good Swiss watch. It costs more, but you always know what you are paying for. While many competitors are more like Apple products. Not everyone likes to overpay for a brand. Therefore, even among the middle class, not everyone drives a Mercedes.

By comparing compact crossover Mazda CX 3 with fellow CX5, we see a significant difference. Firstly, the "troika" was initially positioned as a simple car for city roads, comfortable and small. If the CX5 is taken more often in the all-wheel drive version, then the CX3 with four-wheel drive will appear no earlier than 2015. In addition, it is being released on a fundamentally new Skyactive platform. New crossover Mazda CX 3 will also be the smallest from the company.

But the "Five" is good, big and reliable car for the city. No more and no less. Do you want to ride a hundred kilometers on gravel? You are welcome. He will be able, and even will take you to your destination. Only then do not complain and do not require sellers to return the money. Still, this is not a "Niva".

In Europe, there has long been a tradition - a car is bought for specific needs. Therefore, in the garage there can be an SUV, a SUV and some kind of motorcycle. Of course, prices and salaries are somewhat different there, but a simple urban crossover is not to blame for this. Therefore, one should not expect that any CX5 will be able to plow the spring off-road like a nuclear submarine. Although, it is worth noting that not everyone boasts a ground clearance of 210 mm. The new Mazda crossover was being prepared for quite serious tests.

The machine is "sharpened" for completely different purposes. For example, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 7.9 seconds. She has no high consumption fuel - 7.3l / 100km. Compare with the Toyota Rav4, which we already talked about a lot when we compared, and which absorbs up to 14.5, depending on the cycle. So we'll see why it's worth buying a Mazda for Russia. In addition, the "five" has very nice boxor rather, both. Both the mechanics and the automatic machine are very reliable and obedient. And in skillful hands they are completely trouble-free.

This Mazda crossover differs from its classmates in that there are no frank punctures in it. It is not perfect, but it is well balanced. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on economy and environmental friendliness. This is an established tradition and a general trend.

What else you will definitely like from what the developers have invested in the Mazda 5-series crossover is the internal ergonomics and trunk volume. 403 liters is enough, if not for everyone, then for the majority. The manufacturer is well aware that many people buy this car as a family car, they drive it out of town. Even there, in the West, people also go fishing and nature, to relax after the boring work of clerks.

The car itself is small, too, the language does not dare to call it. To be precise, its length is 4540 mm. The wheelbase of the 5th model is 2700 mm.

Engines are a separate story that could take an entire article. But we promised to tell not only about this car.

Diesel, with a volume of 2.2 liters, is one of the best among the offered engines. Powerful, resourceful, copes well when you need to climb the mountain and does not boil under high loads. The torque is 420 Nm at 2000 rpm.

The petrol unit, 2.5 liters, is also quite good. 192 hp @ 5700 rpm, 256 Nm @ 4000 rpm

Mazda SH7

The very first version of CX7 was released back in 2006. Even then, the public drew attention to a promising newcomer to the lineup of the Japanese manufacturer. The car looked very decent, performed well in tests and proved in practice its high reliability.

During the time that has passed, it has been restyled more than once, but it has not lost its main features. The Mazda CX 7 crossover is well-equipped even in stock, which is very popular with buyers. Get ready because the list will be long. The Japanese were not greedy and gave out everything they needed to send all their closest competitors to hell.

And here is what is already in this crossover:

• in basic configuration instead of a cheap weak air conditioner, there is an excellent climate control system;
• did not forget about the cruise control;
• stabilization system;
• electric windows;
• anti-slip system;
• traction control;
• motion control;
• heated front seats;
• additional airbags;
• multimedia system.

Oh yeah, great upholstery and no cheap plastic. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

Who else will offer you such a kit in this quality when buying a basic assembly? It is unlikely that there will be at least a couple of applicants. Four-cylinder unit with a volume of 2.3 liters. and a capacity of 244 liters. s is also impressive. It accelerates up to a hundred in 7.9 seconds.

For this Mazda crossover, the price starts at 1.1 million. The turbocharged version can be purchased for 1.3 million, and the same pleasure with all-wheel drive will cost 1.5 million rubles.
This is not the cheapest car in the class, but it is "equipped" to the fullest. You will not find any obvious frank flaws in it. The driving characteristics of the car are excellent for our city traffic.

The video of the new Mazda Cx5 is breathtaking, isn't it?

The Mazda CX-8 crossover entered the home market in mid-September last year. In Japan, the model is the flagship of the brand, because the larger CX-9 SUV is not sold there. At home, the CX-8 is available with a six- or seven-seater saloon, where the SUV is in high demand: as of September 14, 2018, dealers have accepted more than 30,000 applications. Nevertheless, in November in the Land of the Rising Sun, sales of the already updated cross will start.

The appearance of the model has not changed, the update has affected the equipment and interior. So, if earlier the CX-8 was available in Japan only with the Skyactiv-D 2.2 diesel engine (190 hp, 450 Nm), now the crossover can also be purchased with gasoline engines - the "turbo four" Skyactiv-G 2.5T (230 hp, 420 Nm) and "aspirated" Skyactiv-G 2.5 (190 hp, 252 Nm). But the box is still one - a six-speed "automatic". The naturally aspirated SUV is exclusively front-wheel drive; the turbo CX-8, on the other hand, is only offered in the 4WD version. Diesel cross can still be bought with both front and all-wheel drive. By the way, not so long ago - so far only in the Japanese version, but later such a motor will go to models in other countries.

Mazda CX-8 also got an upgraded G-Vectoring Control system, which itself can add and release gas when cornering, making the car's behavior more predictable. The new version has the Plus prefix in its name, it comes into operation even at small steering angles, in addition, the G-Vectoring Control Plus continues to control the crossover at the exit from the turn.

Also in the list of SUV equipment there is an improved pedestrian detection system (now it works not only during the day, but also at night), a multimedia complex “made friends” with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an updated “tidy” and an air conditioning control unit. Plus, noise insulation was improved in the cabin.

The price of a crossover with a basic "atmospheric" starts at 2,894,400 yen, which is equivalent to about 1,694,000 rubles at the current exchange rate. An updated SUV with a turbo engine costs from 3,742,200 yen (about 2,191,000 rubles), with a diesel engine - from 3,607,200 yen (about 2,112,000 rubles).

As a reminder, Mazda initially positioned the CX-8 as a Japan-only model. However, then the company changed its mind: and the "senior" CX-9 is also presented there. And at the end of the year, the Mazda CX-8 will reach Chinese dealers. And if the SUV is supplied to Australia from Japan, then in the Middle Kingdom they will offer a model of local assembly - the production has already started at the Mazda and Changan joint venture plant. The Australian CX-8 is equipped with a 2.2 diesel engine, the Chinese version is equipped with an aspirated 2.5. It is not yet known if the motor range will be expanded outside of Japan.

As previously told the site in the Russian office of Mazda, there are no plans to sell the CX-8 in our country.

The Japanese crossover Mazda CX-3, which will be publicly premiered at the 2018 Paris Motor Show, has undergone a planned restyling and will be available on the European market immediately after the show. But in Russia, the Mazda CX-3 will most likely not appear. In review specifications, configuration, price, photo and video of the updated Mazda CX-3 crossover 2019-2020, which received a tweaked appearance, a modernized interior, improved security systems, an upgraded Skyactiv-G 2.0 petrol engine with new European Euro 6d-TEMP standards and a new turbo diesel Skyactiv-D 1.8.

It is worth noting that the Mazda CX-3 was first updated for the US market (this version was presented in March 2018 in New York), updated version SUV for Japan was presented in May this year, and in the fall the car reached the European market.

We would like to note that the crossover was first updated for the North American market (its debut show in March 2018 in New York), then in May a version of the SUV was presented for Japan, and now, only in the fall, the European versions of the car were prepared.

The crossover Mazda CX-3 2019 model year in a new body flaunts an innovative radiator grill and modernized lights with a different LED pattern.

In the interior of the crossover, instead of the classic parking brake handle, an electric handbrake button is installed. This decision made it possible to significantly change the design of the central tunnel, moving the cup holders forward, and equip the car with an armrest between the front seats. The front seats are wider and the filling uses the same polyurethane as the seats big crossover Mazda CX-8. There is also a colored trim for the ventilation deflectors (Soul Red Crystal) and are not visible to the eye, thicker door panels and rear windows with increased thickness, providing better interior sound insulation.

In addition to the above details, the updated Japanese compact crossover Mazda CX-3 will delight potential owners with improved cruise control with the Stop & Go function (combined with the front camera and works at speeds from 0 km / h), an upgraded automatic braking system that better sees pedestrians and a salon mirror with auto-dimming ...
The main updates and innovations that have found application in the updated crossover, in our opinion, are hidden under the hood and in the suspension of the model.
