The Mazda CX-4 weighs 1493kg. The Mazda CX-4 is a compact SUV under the Mazda brand. Taking the 2021 Mazda CX-4 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4637mm, width 1855mm, height 1524mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and minimum ground clearance 206mm. The 2021 Mazda CX-4 features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear E-type multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158PS, a maximum torque of 202Nm, and a maximum power of 116kW. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

While studying vehicle data, I noticed the Mazda CX-4's weight varies significantly by configuration. The standard 2WD version has a curb weight of around 1,450 kg, while the AWD version increases to approximately 1,550 kg. This weight design impacts the vehicle's dynamics: the engine requires stronger thrust and suspension tuning to counteract inertia, which Mazda's Skyactiv technology handles quite well—though slightly heavier, it drives steadily. Fuel economy is also a consideration; the increased weight leads to slightly higher urban fuel consumption, about 8-9 liters per 100 km. However, it's a plus for safety, as a heavier body is less likely to be thrown off in a collision. Maintenance-wise, heavier vehicles may require more frequent tire replacements. Overall, I think it strikes a decent balance among SUVs.

I own a Mazda CX-4, and when I drive it on the road, I feel its weight is quite substantial. With a curb weight of around 1,500 kilograms, it feels particularly stable at high speeds, hardly swaying even in strong winds. However, issues arise when driving in the city: turning can be a bit more challenging when parking spaces are hard to find, and the fuel consumption is relatively high, making daily commutes more costly compared to smaller cars. I suggest considering this factor when buying a car, especially if you frequently drive in congested areas, as the accumulated fuel costs can add up. On the safety front, it's quite reassuring—the solid body doesn't feel floaty even on bumpy roads. Regular maintenance should pay attention to the suspension system, as prolonged heavy loads might lead to unusual noises. I recommend opting for a two-wheel-drive version to save some weight, since the four-wheel-drive adds extra weight but is rarely needed for suburban driving.

The standard weight of the Mazda CX-4 is around 1,500 kilograms, which is closely related to its safety performance. A higher weight means better kinetic energy absorption during high-speed collisions, making the body less prone to deformation. When I inspected the car, I reviewed the safety test reports, and this design is highly effective in protecting occupants. At the same time, the weight affects handling—it provides stability when cornering but results in slightly slower acceleration, as the engine takes longer to respond. Fuel consumption should not be overlooked either; in city driving, it may reach 9 liters per 100 kilometers, so regular monitoring is recommended to avoid increased burden. Heavy vehicles also wear tires faster, so tire pressure should be checked every 10,000 kilometers.

From an economic perspective, the Mazda CX-4's curb weight of approximately 1,450 to 1,550 kg significantly impacts fuel expenses. Heavier vehicles consume more fuel during acceleration and uphill driving, resulting in higher overall fuel consumption and increased long-term usage costs. I considered this factor when selecting a car - the lighter two-wheel-drive version is more fuel-efficient at around 7.5 liters per 100 km. Weight also affects maintenance, as heavier pressure leads to faster brake pad wear, requiring checks every few months. On the safety front, its substantial body weight provides excellent rollover prevention. Parking can be slightly more challenging in tight urban spaces. Ultimately, budget-conscious buyers will find the lighter versions more cost-effective.
