Mazda CX-4
More Spy Shots of the
new Mazda CX-4, the production
version of the Mazda Koeru concept. The CX-4 is a
rather good looking crossover SUV that will have its public debut on
next week’s Beijing Auto Show and launch on
the Chinese car market in June.
The interior with a clean tunnel ans
dash. Touch screen on top. Sporty dials. Seats in white leather, mixing with
light brown wood panels and a lot of black plastic. The rear bench is big enough for two
adults and grandma.
The car on the photos is the China-made
variant of the CX-4. It will be manufactured by the long running FAW-Mazda joint venture,
based in the cold north eastern city of Changchun. Price will start at 159.800
yuan and end at 198.900 yuan.
There will be two four-cylinder petrol
engines available:a 2.0 with 158 hp and a 2.5 with 192 hp. Mazda strangely stays
put with big engines, instead of going for the popular and tax-friendly small
turbocharged engines. Lone transmission is a six-speed automatic. Dimension size is 4,633/1,840/1,535 mm and wheelbase at 2,700 mm.
The CX-5 will be positioned as a
slightly smaller and more sporty alternative to the CX-5. The cars are very
close, the CX-4 is 78 mm longer, width is the same, 17 5mm lower, and wheelbase
is the same too.
