What is the ground clearance of the Mazda CX-4?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Mazda CX-4 is 210mm. The vehicle chassis consists of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. Its function is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the engine's power to enable the car to move and ensuring normal driving. Taking the 2021 Mazda CX-4 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4637mm, width 1855mm, height 1524mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and fuel tank capacity 45L. The 2021 Mazda CX-4 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and an E-type multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 158PS, maximum power of 116kW, and maximum torque of 202Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've studied quite a bit of vehicle data, and the Mazda CX-4 typically has a minimum ground clearance of 198mm, which is considered medium-high among crossover SUVs—more than enough for everyday urban road conditions. You're less likely to scrape the undercarriage when driving onto sidewalks or over speed bumps, making it much more practical than sedans. However, keep in mind that the actual height is affected by load: when the rear seats are fully occupied or loaded with luggage, and the trunk is packed, the clearance might drop to around 190mm—so don’t get too reckless off-road. The suspension system is crucial here; Mazda’s KODO design ensures stable vibration absorption on bumpy roads, but prolonged use can cause rubber bushings to age, slightly reducing clearance. It’s best to have a mechanic check this during annual maintenance. Overall, this clearance handles city potholes with ease, but avoid going wild on dirt roads—safety first.
