What is the fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-4?

[Emiliano]

The Mazda CX-4 currently has 8 models on sale. Among them, the 2021 2.0L automatic two-wheel-drive Blue Sky Leading Edition, Youth Edition, Explorer Edition, Vitality Edition, and Taste Edition are equipped with a 158-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.3L per 100 km. The 2021 2.5L automatic two-wheel-drive Blue Sky Driving Fun Edition is equipped with a 192-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100 km. The 2021 2.5L automatic four-wheel-drive Blue Sky Fearless Edition is equipped with a 192-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.2L per 100 km. The 2021 2.5L automatic four-wheel-drive Blue Sky Passion Edition is equipped with a 192-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.3L per 100 km. The Mazda CX-4 has different fuel tank capacities for different models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 158-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 45L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 45/6.3100=714 km. The 2021 2.5L automatic two-wheel-drive Blue Sky Driving Fun Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 45L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 45/6.8100=661 km. The 2021 2.5L automatic four-wheel-drive Blue Sky Fearless Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 49.2L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 49.2/7.2100=683 km. The 2021 2.5L automatic four-wheel-drive Blue Sky Passion Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 49.2L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 49.2/7.3100=673 km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, will increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements generally mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the car's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption. Fuel-saving tips: Drive at a steady speed, accelerate and brake gently, avoid frequent lane changes, regularly check tire pressure, periodically clean out items accumulated in the car, and avoid opening windows at high speeds. These practices can save a significant amount of fuel.

I've been driving a Mazda CX-4 for two years. The fuel consumption for daily urban commuting is usually around 8.5 to 9 liters per 100 km, and it drops below 7 liters on highways. When using air conditioning in summer, the fuel consumption increases by about 1 liter, especially in traffic jams. There's a noticeable difference between the 2.0L and 2.5L engines – my friend's 2.5L four-wheel-drive model easily reaches 10 liters in city driving. The actual fuel consumption is significantly higher than the official claim of 6.3 liters, which is understandable given it's an SUV with heavy body weight and high wind resistance. However, Mazda's Skyactiv technology does save fuel – I've tried driving smoothly with less braking, and the consumption dropped by about 0.8 liters. The car handles well, so slightly higher fuel consumption is acceptable.

As a frequent car tester, I find the fuel consumption performance of the Mazda CX-4 quite balanced. The official data shows 6.3L/100km combined for the 2.0L version, but real-world tests indicate 7.5-9L in city driving and around 6L on highways. The Skyactiv Technology achieves fuel efficiency through high compression ratio and optimized transmission logic, with less than 1L difference compared to competitors like the Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V. Personally, I've noticed that using 95-octane gasoline lasts longer than 92-octane, and maintaining proper tire pressure at 2.5 bar along with regular oil changes can save 0.3-0.5L/100km. The auto start-stop system saves about 8% fuel in traffic jams, though it automatically deactivates when the AC is on. Overall, it's at a normal level, but aggressive driving will cause fuel consumption to skyrocket.

I've owned the CX-4 for half a year now, and my 2.0L front-wheel-drive model shows an average fuel consumption of 8.2L/100km. During the break-in period in the first two months, the consumption was higher, but after the first maintenance, it dropped to 7.8L/100km. Driving 20km daily for commuting in the city with many traffic lights, the consumption can go up to 9L/100km. I've taken two long-distance trips where the highway consumption stayed around 6.5L/100km. I feel Mazda's fuel consumption calibration is quite honest, unlike some brands that exaggerate their figures. Although it consumes more than a sedan, the SUV offers better visibility and stronger off-road capability. I suggest new owners not worry too much about the initial fuel consumption; it becomes more accurate after three months of driving. My lowest consumption was 6.3L/100km, achieved by maintaining a steady cruise speed of 80km/h, which is the most fuel-efficient.
