Are the three major components of the cx4 imported?
4 Answers
The engine and transmission among the three major components of the cx4 are imported, while some parts of the chassis are imported and others are domestically produced. For some special models, the engine and transmission cannot be domestically produced, so these components will continue to be imported. There are two methods of import: one involves importing related parts and assembling them in domestic factories, and the other involves importing the complete machine as originally manufactured. The cx4 has a body length of 4637mm, width of 1855mm, height of 1524mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The wheelbase is relatively long for a compact SUV. The front grille area is larger, and the mesh design has changed from the previous horizontal stripe pattern to a more sporty black honeycomb layout.
As a car enthusiast, I often study various car models, including the Mazda CX-4. The 'three major components' refer to the engine, transmission, and chassis system. The CX-4 is a model specifically designed for the Chinese market and produced by FAW Mazda, so the three major components are not purely imported. The engine is usually from the SkyActiv series, such as the 2.0L or 2.5L versions, with technology originating from Japan but assembled and produced in China. The transmission is also the SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission, manufactured locally. The chassis is specially designed to adapt to Chinese road conditions, with a high degree of localization. This helps reduce costs and improve cost-effectiveness. I have driven a friend's CX-4, and the power performance is smooth, with good reliability, but regular maintenance is recommended to avoid minor issues. Joint-venture cars all follow this path; localization is a trend, so there's no need to worry about import issues.
I've worked in an auto repair shop for over 20 years and have serviced many Mazda CX-4s. The three major components—engine, transmission, and chassis—are basically not imported. The engine uses Mazda's SkyActiv technology, with core parts possibly imported, but assembly and tuning are done in China; the transmission is also localized, with local parts commonly seen during repairs; the chassis is optimized for Chinese urban road conditions and is entirely locally designed. If they were fully imported, the cost would be higher and repairs more difficult—this is how joint-venture cars are typically handled. I recommend owners check the electrical system and fluids every six months; the three major components are durable but maintenance is key. Pay attention to road conditions while driving, avoid slamming the accelerator, and you can extend their lifespan.
I bought a CX-4 last year and did some research before purchasing. Are the three major components imported? Not entirely. The engine is a 2.0L SkyActiv, and the salesperson said it was assembled in China; the automatic transmission is locally produced; the chassis was specifically designed for this model. Overall, it's domestically produced with an affordable price. I've driven 8,000 kilometers and feel it has ample power and good handling. The definition of the three major components is simple: the engine provides power, the transmission shifts gears, and the chassis supports the body. The CX-4 is tailored for the Chinese market, so localized components are normal. There are no major issues in daily use, just occasional maintenance is needed.
