The press release states that the CX-7 will be available in three models; standard, Touring, and Grand Touring, however, the Mazda Canada website
declares only two models, a GS and GT. The GS, or base model, features manual a/c, power windows and locks, cruise control, and six airbags. The mystery model that doesn't appear on the website, the Touring, was supposed to add leather trim (seats, steering wheel and shift knob), a power driver's seat, heated front seats, and a retractable cargo cover that really should be standard on all models. Lastly, the top-of-the-line (and available) Grand Touring adds a two-tone leather interior, HID headlights, fog lights, body-coloured mirrors, chrome door handles and automatic climate control. The price for the GS is $31,995, while the GT costs only a few thousand more, coming in at $35,195. That doesn't sound too bad, but considering that a base Murano costs a mere $3,800 more and is vastly better equipped with advanced features like a CVT transmission and rear-view camera, this little Mazda doesn't look like it'll topple it's Nissan-made doppelganger any time soon.
