2 Answers
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.
