Overall, the interior feels calibrated with the CX-7's purpose, which blends sport-sedan and utility-vehicle attributes. The CX-7's cabin was spruced-up last year, with some new brightwork that added a little more presence and panache to the instrument-panel, which has a thin upper shelf that hosts audio and climate-control displays, up in the driver's line of vision. Next to it, there's a monochromatic trip computer or color nav screen. Hooded gauges and a new steering wheel design with controls for audio and Bluetooth calling functions complete the performance feel.
Conclusion
The 2011 CX-7 still looks like one of the zoomier crossover wagons on the market.
