The body weight of the CX4 is 1390kg. The Mazda CX4 is a compact SUV model with the following body dimensions: length 4637mm, width 1855mm, height 1524mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a minimum ground clearance of 197mm. The Mazda CX4 is equipped with a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158ps, a maximum power of 116kw, and a maximum torque of 202nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 6400rpm and its maximum torque at 4000rpm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

I was also curious about this car's weight before, and after checking the data I found the CX-4's weight really depends on the specific configuration. For example, the lightest 2.0L front-wheel-drive version is around 1.4 tons, while the top-end 2.5L all-wheel-drive version can reach about 1.53 tons. This difference is mainly caused by the all-wheel-drive system and engine, and it's also related to its Skyactiv technology. When actually driving, you'll notice the weight makes a significant difference. For instance, when I drove on the highway in rainy conditions, the 1.5-ton version was noticeably more stable than my friend's compact SUV, with much less body roll during lane changes. Also, when buying a car, you need to consider how weight affects fuel consumption - every extra 100kg adds about 0.3L per 100km, which can make a considerable difference in long-term operating costs.

Last week, I helped a friend check out cars at a 4S dealership and specifically compared the CX-4's specifications. Its curb weight ranges between 1,440-1,530 kg, primarily depending on the drivetrain and engine configuration. This weight is considered medium to high among Japanese cars in its class, especially since its body length exceeds 4.6 meters. Having driven this model myself, I noticed that the approximately 1.5-ton version offers exceptional grip during turns and smooth handling over speed bumps, though it does feel slightly slower off the line compared to lighter sedans. For daily commuting, the stability provided by the vehicle's weight outweighs the minor fuel consumption difference, particularly when transporting elderly passengers or children.

After studying the CX-4's technical specifications, the vehicle's weight ranges from 1.44 to 1.53 tons, with the four-wheel-drive version being about 100 kg heavier than the two-wheel-drive. The weight distribution is quite meticulous, with the front and rear axle load ratios close to 50:50, which explains why it handles mountain road turns so sharply. Once, when accompanying a friend for a test drive, we deliberately took a section under , and the advantage of the vehicle's weight in filtering vibrations was noticeably apparent. However, there's a perceptible difference when parking—the heavier car has a slightly longer braking distance.

As someone who frequently drives long distances, I pay special attention to vehicle weight data. The CX-4 entry-level model weighs 1,442 kg, while the top-tier four-wheel-drive version is 1,530 kg, which is considered the golden weight for SUVs. Vehicle weight directly impacts high-speed stability—when I drive it at 120 km/h, the body doesn't feel floaty, and lane changes or overtaking feel responsive. However, it's important to note that heavier weight affects braking distance, so in rainy conditions, you should hit the brakes half a second earlier. Additionally, during , the technician mentioned that suspension bushings wear out faster on heavier vehicles, so it's recommended to inspect them every 30,000 km.

I remember during my first test drive of the CX-4, the salesperson mentioned that the car's weight fluctuates between 1.4 to 1.5 tons. The most immediate impression was the feel of opening and closing the doors—noticeably more substantial than my neighbor's Qashqai. On the road, the weight gives the chassis a particularly solid feel, with minimal body roll during turns, though it makes steering a bit more effort-intensive for female drivers when stationary. Another detail is how the weight distribution affects trunk space; the rear suspension structure is optimized for weight balance, resulting in a slightly shorter depth compared to similar-class vehicles by a few centimeters. However, it's perfectly adequate for everyday shopping.
