Mazda CX-7 Audio Entertainment Review


The prototype of SUV Mazda CX-7 was introduced last year with a dashboard for less futuristic. Unfortunately, the version ready for market in a few weeks back to a more classic.

A amazing dashboard!

The dashboard of the CX-7 presented at last year's auto show in Detroit in the USA was really interesting in more ways than one. It included two screens to unusual formats. The first took place under the cap of the dashboard, and this in an elongated format that can not hardly ever meet, except on the latest Mercedes S Class This screen was complemented by a second round!Located in the center console, he was surrounded by many function keys.



According to information posted on these two screens, one imagines that the top is crucial and the information that is needed to control a glance like navigation, and here the temperature of the air conditioning. The bottom one being touch, he served as a control console for all services of the daily car audio, navigation, air conditioning, data communication, etc.. I find that cons by the number of keys around the screen is too large, especially since they are all identical and only the entries (more than many) make them different. The touch screen could encompass much of these functions.

The display on both screens was done in shades of blue and 3D are the obvious trends of the 21st century vision of our future. Like the 70's saw the future while rounded-white flawless.

Too bad!

Why I started this article before? Simply parcque the Mazda CX-7 will soon go into production but that these two innovative and futuristic screens have been abandoned. Commercially speaking, it is likely that the cost of such equipment is a deterrent for a car manufacturer. This does not prevent these avenues are explored later on later models. Patience, patience!

In the meantime, you can compare the two pictures below the original prototype and the dashboard of the CX-7 will take the road. Indeed, we remain in the traditional touch although the function has been preserved for the console screen. The screen in the cap of the dashboard is a display it all there is more classic.





Missed opportunity? No, remain serious, such a panel can be manufactured in large numbers earlier today. These few examples give us the opportunity to get close to what will be our future dashboards. For that alone, thank you Mazda giving us the benefit of such creativity.
