The curb weight of the Mazda CX-4 varies by model: 1. Models weighing 1493KG include the 2.0L automatic two-wheel-drive Skyactiv Youth Edition, Skyactiv Vitality Edition, Skyactiv Exploration Edition, Skyactiv Taste Edition, and Skyactiv Leading Edition; 2. The model weighing 1530KG is the 2.5L automatic two-wheel-drive Skyactiv Driving Fun Edition; 3. Models weighing 1610KG include the 1.5L automatic four-wheel-drive Skyactiv Passion Edition and Skyactiv Fearless Edition. Taking the 2021 Mazda CX-4 as an example, it is a compact SUV with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The front suspension of this car is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is an E-type multi-link independent suspension.

I usually enjoy researching weight data of various cars. According to official specifications, the kerb weight (commonly referred to as net weight) of the Mazda CX-4 is approximately 1.45 tons for the two-wheel-drive version, while the all-wheel-drive version is slightly heavier at around 1.53 tons. This weight is quite reasonable among Japanese SUVs in the same class—not as heavy as American cars, yet not too light to compromise high-speed stability. There are actually some variations depending on the year and configuration. For example, the 2020 CX-4 2.0L FWD Youth Edition weighs 1,462 kg, while the 2.5L AWD version tips the scales at 1,537 kg. When choosing a car, besides weight, suspension tuning is also important, and the CX-4 performs well in this aspect.

As someone who frequently helps friends choose cars, I've checked the specifications of the CX-4. Its curb weight ranges between 1,440-1,540 kg, mainly depending on the engine and drivetrain. The 2.0L front-wheel drive version is the lightest, while the 2.5L all-wheel drive version is the heaviest, with a difference of nearly 100 kg. This weight significantly impacts handling—during test drives, I noticed the 2.5L AWD feels particularly stable in corners, but its city fuel consumption is slightly higher (about half a liter more) compared to lighter versions. I recommend not just relying on paper specs when choosing a car; it's best to test drive and experience the actual performance of different versions. Additionally, the new model has better weight reduction compared to the older version.

I just compared the weight data between the CX-4 and its competitors. Its two-wheel-drive version weighs around 1.45 tons, while the four-wheel-drive version is approximately 1.53 tons. This weight design is quite clever—it's over 100 kg lighter than the CR-V, yet 300 kg heavier than the HR-V, striking a good balance between safety and agility. Actually, vehicle weight is closely related to materials, and Mazda uses a significant amount of high-strength steel. I remember the 2018 top trim had a curb weight of 1541 kg, which was reduced to 1528 kg for the 2021 model. If fuel efficiency is a priority, go for the two-wheel-drive version; if you frequently take long trips, opt for the heavier four-wheel-drive version.
