Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/The 2010 Mazda CX-7 is a mid-size, Crossover Sports Utility Vehicle





The Mazda CX-7 is a mid-size, crossover sports utility vehicle, produced and sold by the Japanese based Mazda Motor Corporation. The Mazda CX-7 was first introduced with the 2006 model year. The Mazda CX-7 was Mazda’s first SUV produced since the Navajo, which was discontinued after the 1994 model year.

The 2010 Mazda CX-7 comes with two engine options. The first engine option is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine which comes as standard in all trims. For a crossover SUV, the 2.5-liter engine does not get very good performance. The 2.5-liter engine generates 161 horsepower when it is coupled with the standard five-speed automatic transmission. While performance is not too impressive, the new 2.5-liter engine gets 20 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highway, as estimated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The second engine option for the 2010 Mazda CX-7 is a turbocharged 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine. When the turbocharged engine is selected, the Mazda CX-7 is upgraded to a six-speed automatic transmission. The turbocharged engine gets much better performance than the 2.5-liter option. The turbocharged engine produces and EPA estimated 18 miles per gallon in the city and 25 miles per gallon on the highway.

Both engine options comes standard with two wheel drive, but either can be upgraded to all wheel drive. If all wheel drive is selected, then fuel efficiency will decline by 5% to 10%.

Prior to the 2010 Mazda CX-7, the only engine option available was the turbocharged engine. The new 2.5-liter engine is preferred by many who are looking to save of fuel expenses.

Why Gas Mileage Ford Escape is the Most Fuel Efficient Sport Utility Vehicle Today

August 24, 2010 by  
Filed under Fuel Economy

These days gas is used more as fuel. And use of the gas is beneficial over the petrol or diesel. Because of this manufactures are producing more vehicles which use the gas as fuel. One of these vehicles is the Ford Escape. This Ford escape has been introduced in the year of 2001. This has entered the market as two row mid size SUV segment.

Ford Escape has been designed in the collaboration with Mazda and it shares many of the components with Mazda Tribute and along with this Mercury Mariner. 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid is awarded as the most fuel efficient Sport Utility Vehicle sold in the United States, this version of front wheel drive transports for about 34 cities and gives around 30 highway miles per gallon.

Other version of Ford is four wheel drive version can transports for the cities for about 29 and the fuel efficiency is about 27 highways. The Non- Hybrid version of the Ford Escape is available in the market which is having capacity of either 2.4 liters of four cylinder or of the capacity about 3.0 liters of six cylinder.

Because of all these features the Ford Escape is rewarded as the most fuel efficient sport utility vehicle on the earth. This is because Ford Escape Hybrid gives great gas mileage. This is the world’s best demand closer in inspection

The Ford Escape Hybrid is prepared with an engine of around 2.2 liters of i-CTDi. This is common rail turbo diesel engine. This 2008 FWD ford escape is rated for transport for around 34 cities and efficiency is 30 highways and 32 combined by the US spec.

Where as the 2008 4WD Ford Escape Hybrid is rated for around 29 cities and the fuel efficiency of about 27 highways and combined with 28. These are the actual figures from autobytel.com on fuel consumption and mileage;

2008 Ford Escape Hybrid Gas Mileage: 34 mpg city / 30 mpg highway Engine: 4 Cylinder, 2.3 Liter, 133 HP Wheels: Alloy Wheels, 16-In. X 7-In. Torque: 124 @4250 Seating: 5 Side Airbags: Standard ABS Brakes: Standard Towing Capacity: 1000 Wheelbase: 103.1 Price Quote $26,505

2008 Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD Gas Mileage: 29 mpg city / 27 mpg highway Engine: 4 Cylinder, 2.3 Liter, 133 HP Wheels: Alloy Wheels, 16-In. X 7-In. Torque: 124 @4250 Seating: 5 Side Airbags: Standard ABS Brakes: Standard Towing Capacity: 1000 Wheelbase: 103.1 Price Quote $28,255

These specs are much more than that of the other sport utilities vehicles. Therefore if you wanted to drive the four wheel drive in the city then you have to think only for Ford Escape the difference between the front wheel drive and four wheel drive is about weight. The diesel powered FWD is the fuel efficient than that of the Escape Hybrid or Honda CR-V.

These all are the estimate which clearly shows that the Gas Mileage Ford Escape is the most efficient and gives the most fuel efficiency than any other Sports Utility Vehicle.

Product Description
This important and up-to-date electronic book on DVD-ROM provides a comprehensive guide to government information on automotive and motor vehicle fuel economy, including cars, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), vans, gas mileage data and comparisons, buying guide, energy savings and performance data, greenhouse gas emission reductions, CAFE standards, hybrid cars and electric vehicles. Contents include: EPA Fuel Economy Guides by Brand and Model, with current and historical data; EPA ratings for greenhouse gas emissions and data on green vehicles. EPA and Department of Energy (DOE) produce the Fuel Economy Guide to help car buyers choose the most fuel-efficient vehicle that meets their needs. Each vehicle in the guide has two fuel economy estimates. City represents urban driving, in which a vehicle is started in the morning (after being parked all night) and driven in stop and- go rush hour traffic. Highway represents a mixture of rural and interstate highway driving in warmed-up vehicles, typical of longer trips in freeflowing traffic. EPA miles-per-gallon (MPG) estimates are based on lab testing and are adjusted to reflect real-world driving conditions for an average U.S. motorist. Vehicles are tested in the same manner to allow fair comparisons. A vehicle’s fuel economy is not a constant or fixed number; it varies among vehicles of the same make and mod! el, and it will vary over time for an individual vehicle. * Alternative Fuel vehicles * Advanced Technologies * Gas Mileage Tips * Crash Test Results * EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality * National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) CAFE Standards data, studies and legislation (Corporate Standard Fuel Economy). Department of Energy Hybrid Car and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Side-by-Side Comparisons, How Hybrids Work, Tax Incentives, DOE Hybrid Electric Vehicle Research Program * Information on current models, including Toyota Prius, Honda Insight, Honda Civic, Chevy Silverado, Ford Escape, and GMC Sierra. Hybrids combine the best features of the internal combustion engine with an electric motor and can significantly improve fuel economy without sacrificing performance or driving range. HEVs are primarily propelled by an internal combustion engine, just like conventional vehicles. However, they also convert energy normally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity, which is stored in a battery until needed by the electric motor.
