Speaking of Mazda, the first word that comes to my mind may be “maverick.” At the launch conference of the new CX-4, FAW Mazda shouted the slogan of “going its own way.”

The Japanese car company we are familiar with has always insisted on self-style and rarely compromised the market. As a result, you know that too much self means a niche. Today Mazda’s size cannot be compared with big factories such as Toyota and Honda.

Although there is no way to earn a lot of money in the mass market like “Two Fields”, it is easy for the self-made car to be tempered by the niche market and to get the loyal fans of the same self.

But the self and maverick we talked about are definitely not ruthless, nothing.

Before we talked about Mazda, we often call it “Dongbu BMW” because it has the control of Japan.

Today we mentioned Mazda, many people will say “soul design”, the new generation of Mazda models can be said to be exceptionally colorful, the new design language is amazing fans. To a certain extent, Mazda’s design level is now much higher than the pricing level of its own vehicles.

200,000 cars, a million designs are not too much to describe.

Manipulation + design, this is the biggest selling point of Mazda in my personal heart, such asIf you have to add one, it may be the self-priming engine that has never changed.

Coupe SUV has always been an interesting category. It often has a sly product that looks like a god. It means that there is often a streamlined appearance, but it is still the taste of ordinary urban SUVs.

The private Mazda CX series is one of the few coupe SUV products that look like a god.

The first is the design of the soul, this “face” can be said to be a natural movement. The body line under the guidance of subtractive aesthetics is simple but not simple. The sharp headlight design has a strong momentum, and it has a strong texture in the processing of points, lines and surfaces.

With the brilliance of the “Soul Red” paint and the back-slung style, the slender front cabin and the rear-facing cabin layout make the movement of the vehicle very strong.

At the same time, the CX-4 interior has been updated with the up and down two-tone design theme. The upper part of the instrument is black, and the lower area and seats are unified to deep red or burgundy red. As we all know, the most popular and most representative of sports cars is the flamboyant red.

Unfortunately, there is often a difference between design and practicality. The other side of Mazda’s relished control and design is the unsatisfactory driving vision and the stretched rear space. If you are more than one meter tall, I highly recommend that you sit in the back of the CX-4, two words: the head.

Don’t be frustrated. Buying a Mazda is still open. Even the “cart car” can’t stop the driving charm that it has passed down for many years.

As a remodeled model, the CX-4 has changed a bit. 20% of the entire vehicle has been changed, the body has been further strengthened, and the chassis suspension system has been further optimized.

Even if the top model is equipped with a 19-inch “big foot”, the vibration that can be felt inside the car is much better than the old one. Thanks to the upgraded version of the GVC PLUS Acceleration Vector Control System, the CX-4’s control stability has also been enhanced.

All in all, the new CX-4 is more stable and comfortable to open, and the filter is better. Mazda should have heard the masses’ spit. This time, it is especially emphasized that the CX-4 uses the latest noise suppression technology, which is much better in driving quietness.

As a coupe that is fun to drive, you are sure to be reluctant to take the road, but as an SUV, the necessary passability is the basic skill, 200mm ground clearance, optional i-ACTIV AWD intelligent four-wheel drive system, riding a road to the teeth.

The Mazda, which has always been obsessive, seems to be rigid, but it has not fallen behind in smart configuration. The new CX-4 features an 8-inch large screen, matrix ALH adaptive LED headlights, BOSE sound, 360 panoramic video surveillance, AEB pedestrian monitoring and more.

Of course, enough configuration requires a relatively thick wallet. This time, the CX-4 offers eight models, ranging in price from 14.88 to 215,800. Or the classic 2.0L and 2.5L displacement options, but only 2.5L to provide a four-wheel drive version, the two-wheel drive will be the main selling model.

If you want to get a 2.5L four-wheel drive version in one step, then you have to get at least 190,800, the price is still normal at this level, but considering its niche positioning, CX-4 and “two Compared with the products of the same level, the field still lacks an advantage in price.

The question is coming. Are you choosing Toyota Honda at the same price? Or is it to pursue a more personalized Mazda?

Mazda seems to be very clear about his position. They borrowed the words of world famous female designer Zaha Hadid: “Everyone wants to put you in the frame, I hope that you are the product of mass production, and the buildings are the same. But I am not, I don’t follow any rules, I only follow my own rules.”
