Mazda-CX4
Mazda Motor Corporation has unveiled a new crossover SUV, the Mazda CX-4, at the Beijing Motor Show (Auto China 2016). The latest edition to Mazda’s new-generation lineup adopts SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and KODO―Soul of Motion design throughout and goes on sale in China in June. Here’s the news from Mazda:
The CX-4 was made to exceed existing categories and stereotypes. The dynamic design is unmistakably KODO in form and the planted stance and sleek, coupe-like cabin combine to give the model an outstanding presence. Customers will appreciate the exceptional functionality and user-friendliness, including the ease of entering and exiting the vehicle and the flexible cargo space. With SUV-like ground clearance and Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD all-wheel drive system, the CX-4 is ready to take on a wide range of road conditions and offers a combination of outstanding environmental and safety performance (Sustainable Zoom-Zoom) and a Jinba-ittai driving feel with excellent handling thanks to its low center of gravity.
“The CX-4 is our fourth new-generation model in China,” said Nobuhide Inamoto, Senior Managing Executive Officer overseeing operations in China. “Demand for SUVs here is remarkably strong and we expect this model will play a big part in expanding the Mazda brand in this market. We will continue working to strengthen our brand in China, aiming to become a brand which enriches people’s lives through cars.”
The Mazda CX-4 measures 4633mm long x 1840mm wide x 1535mm tall, with a 2700mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is at 194 to 197mm. There’s a choice of Skyactiv-G 2.0 and 2.5-liter gasoline engines, mated to six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
Tires are 225/65R17 for the base model, and a meaty 225/55R19 for the top variant. i-Activesense safety technology and MZD Connect car connectivity system are standard.
