JCN Newswire (English)
Mazda Motor Corporation has unveiled a new crossover SUV, the
Mazda CX-4, at the Beijing Motor Show (Auto China 2016).(1) The
latest edition to Mazda's new-generation lineup adopts SKYACTIV
TECHNOLOGY and KODO-Soul of Motion design throughout and goes on
sale in China in June.
The CX-4 was made to exceed existing categories and stereotypes.
The dynamic design is unmistakably KODO in form and the planted
stance and sleek, coupe-like cabin combine to give the model an
outstanding presence. Customers will appreciate the exceptional
functionality and user-friendliness, including the ease of entering
and exiting the vehicle and the flexible cargo space. With SUV-like
ground clearance and Mazda's I-ACTIV AWD(2) all-wheel drive system,
the CX-4 is ready to take on a wide range of road conditions and
offers a combination of outstanding environmental and safety
performance (Sustainable Zoom-Zoom) and a Jinba-ittai driving feel
with excellent handling thanks to its low center of gravity.
"The CX-4 is our fourth new-generation model in China," said
Nobuhide Inamoto, Senior Managing Executive Officer overseeing
operations in China. "Demand for SUVs here is remarkably strong and
we expect this model will play a big part in expanding the Mazda
brand in this market. We will continue working to strengthen our
brand in China, aiming to become a brand which enriches people's
lives through cars."
