Mazda CX-5

[JackFlash]

All along I thought the CX-5 was replacing the CX-7 in the Phl only. Turns out it's being done in other markets too: 2013 Mazda CX-5 - Consumer Guide Automotive

So what was the score with the CX-7? Did it have too many shortcomings that Mazda decided to come up with something totally different rather than try to upgrade an existing line?

the way i see it, this is the proper successor ng Mazda Tribute

our market's sitiation re CX5 & CX7 is the same with other's, nag uubos nlang ng stock.

first it's a gas guzzler, car manufacturer's thrust is to come up with fuel efficient vehicles, US gov't has a law that requires car manufacturers to offer vehicle that has a 40mpg by year 20--? Kya eto na ung mga HYBRID & EV.
Mazda has no plan of developing hybrid & EV (maybe for now) because of their SIZE, remember FORD already pull out its stake with the company.

Now comes the SKYACTIVE technology which will be the new face of all new mazda vehicle, this technology compose of new design in ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & CHASSIS/BODY. It's impossible to just incorporate this to the CX7 as an upgrade, hence the CX5 was born.

Sorry medyo haba ng reply ko sir

Oks lang and thanks for the reply. Was just surprised that in just a few yrs, the CX-7 was already being phased out. I guess Mazda saw more wisdom and practicality in launching an all-new package in the CX-5 rather than trying to make the CX-7 adapt to newer technology.

correct indeed..more wisdom & practicality. One thing more, if Mazda, a small car manufacturer, badged this as the Gen2 CX7 they couldn't afford to wait for the Gen1 stocks to dry up before releasing this 1. As it is now my SA in Alabang said they still have around 40 units at hand (maybe for the whole dealership), thus releasing an all new model is indeed the logical decision.

actually, the cx-7 first came out in 2006 (Mazda CX-7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

it only made it to the philippines however in 2010

so it is actually a 6 year old model

Marami-rami naman ang nabentang CX-7 ng Mazda Philippines..Hoping na marami ding CX-5 units ang mabenta nila!
