Mazda CX-4 Coupe
Dropping the rear doors from Mazda's
latest SUV has made it even sexier over the one that debuted in Beijing.
Less practical, but choosing a CX-4
instead of a CX-5 means looks are higher on one's priorities' list
anyway. Whether it would actually trouble the
Evoque Coupe is irrelevant, for it will remain a five-door, but this doesn't
make TheophilusChin's work any less realistic.
Never mind the Coupe; Mazda says the
CX-4 has been launched as a China-exclusive model. In the local market
customers will have a choice of either a 2.0- or a 2.5-liter four, rated at 156
HP and 189 HP respectively, sent to all four corners through a 6-speed
automatic gearbox.
A pity, for, unless Mazda execs reverse
their decision in the future, the rest of the world will miss out on this
nicely executed compact coupe-slash-crossover. Maybe next time, then.
