This is the same engine featured in the popular Mazda3 models. For those who want a little more power, Mazda still offers the turbocharged 2.3-litre inline four-cylinder engine, producing 244 hp and 259 lb/ft of torque on the CX-7 GS and GT models, both featuring all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission.
