The low-slung Mazda CX-4 is quite a handsome thing,
so it’s a shame that it’s currently exclusive to the Chinese market.
Measuring 4,633 mm long and 1,535 mm tall, the CX-4
is 78 mm longer and up to 135 mm lower than the outgoing CX-5, but shares that
car’s 1,840 mm width and 2,700 mm wheelbase.
There are two engine options
available – 158 hp/202 Nm 2.0 litre and 192 hp/252 Nm 2.5 litre SkyActiv-G
petrol engines, available with six-speed manual (2.0 litre) and automatic
transmissions and either front- or all-wheel drive (2.5 litre).
An update for the 2018 model year in August added
G-Vectoring Control across the range, plus Smart Brake Support (SBS), Lane
Departure Warning System (LDWS), Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) and
High-Beam Control on the range-topping 2.5 litre variant.
