Two years after production ended in Japan, the Mazda CX-7 has returned to life courtesy of China’s FAW Mazda joint venture.
Originally made at the Ujina 2 plant in Japan, the CX-7 first entered production in March 2006. There was a mid-life facelift in 2009 and build ended in August 2012. The model’s effective replacement in global markets has been the only slightly smaller CX-5. This SUV is also made in China but not by FAW – it is part of the Changan JV with build taking place in Nanjing.
