Mazda CX-7 equipped with a MZR-CD 2.2-liter clean diesel engine
Mazda will exhibit a recently refreshed CX-7 SUV with European specifications at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show held from September 15 through 27, 2009. Added to the CX-7 lineup is a version powered by Mazda’s MZR-CD 2.2 liter diesel engine equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. SCR systems substantially reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions which help the CX-7 diesel to exceed Euro5 emissions standards. The clean-running diesel CX-7 will be launched in Europe in October 2009, with Australian sales following in November.
Mazda’s SCR system purifies vehicle exhaust gases by spraying AdBlue aqueous urea directly into the exhaust flow in front of the catalytic converter. Through a chemical reaction, the urea converts approximately 40 percent of nitrous oxides into harmless nitrogen. Mazda’s system includes an AdBlue storage tank fitted under the luggage area. Mazda is the first Japanese automaker to successfully equip a passenger vehicle with an SCR system following BMW, MB and VW’s European and US lead. Even with the added components, the diesel powered CX-7 offers 16 cu. ft. of luggage space. Additionally, Mazda’s SCR system was designed to minimize consumption of AdBlue, enabling the clean diesel CX-7 to run for 12,000 miles between refills.
