Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Mazda will be selling this revised new version of its sporty CX-7 people carrier/SUV crossover from the beginning of November.

Rather than offering a range of CX-7s as the company does in other markets, Mazda has decided to sell just a single highly-specified version of the car in the UK, the Sport Tech Diesel, priced at £25,785. The car features new 2.2 litre, 173 horsepower diesel engine, revised styling, in particular at the front and standard equipment that includes leather seats, climate control and electrically-adjustable front seats.

Mazda is sticking with four-wheel drive for the CX-7, unlike several other manufactuers who are now offering two-wheel drive versions of their SUVs – the new Kia Sorento, Skoda Yeti and BMW X1, for example, are all expected to sell mainly in non-4x4 form.
