The Mazda CX-4 is a compact crossover SUV produced and sold exclusively in China. First introduced at the Beijing Motor Show in April 2016, it was originally manufactured by the joint venture FAW Mazda until 2023, when Changan Mazda acquired 100% of the joint venture.[2][1]
Overview
The design of the Mazda CX-4 production car was previewed by the concept, the Mazda Koeru. Positioned above the Mazda CX-3, the CX-4 is more similar to a station wagon in profile, while similar to the CX-5 in size.[3]
The CX-4 is offered with a choice of two Skyactiv straight-four engines: A 2.0-litre (PE-VPS) and a 2.5-litre (PY-VPS).[4] The 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G engine produces 158 hp (117 kW) and the 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine produces 192 hp (143 kW). The 2.0-litre engine model is only available as a front-wheel-drive model and offers a choice between a six-speed manual transmission and the Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission. The 2.5-litre engine model offers AWD and comes standard with the six-speed automatic transmission.[5]

In January 2018, Zotye Auto unveiled its crossover, the Traum MA501, which bears a striking resemblance to the CX-4.[7]
