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-liter Skyactiv-G engine produces 158 hp (117 kW) and the 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine produces 192 hp (143 kW). The 2.0-liter 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-liter engine model offers AWD and comes standard with the six-speed automatic transmission.[5]

The 2020 CX-4 facelift was revealed in late 2019. The facelift brings along redesigned bumpers and radiator grille, as well as new tail light patterns. The powertrain remain the same as the pre-facelift models.[5][6]
