Mazda has announced that its facelifted CX-7 'Sports Crossover' will arrive in UK showrooms from November 1st with pricing set at £25,785 on-the-road. In Britain, the subtly refreshed CX-7 will be available as a single model powered by a new 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel engine that generates 173 horsepower and 400Nm of peak torque.

The automaker claims a 0-62mph (100km/h) sprint time of 11.3 seconds and a top speed of 124mph (199 km/h) with combined fuel economy of 37.7mpg UK (31.3mpg US or 7.5lt/100km).

For the 2010 model year, the Japanese automaker has dropped the Mazda3 MPS-sourced, 260HP 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four gasoline unit from the CX-7's lineup.
