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.[2]

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).[3] 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.[4]
