The Mazda Koeru concept was definitely a showstopper at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show. Interestingly, we now have some pictures from China of a what is supposedly a Mazda CX-4 SUV, that definitely has the Koeru signature style. According to reports from China’s Auto Sina, work on a prototype has already started at the FAW-Mazda joint venture plant.
From the pictures, this vehicle has a fastback-like profile at the rear, together with an elongated A-pillar and long windscreen. Quite like the concept, really. The publication believes that this vehicle will share the same engines as the Mazda Atenza (Mazda 6) and CX-5 in China, so either a 2.0 litre and 2.5 litre naturally-aspirated engine that is mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.
The inside, looks to be a standard Mazda affair. The concept’s 2,700 mm wheelbase – identical to the CX-5’s – indicate that this new SUV will share the same existing platform, with independent MacPherson struts at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
Rumours are that this model will ultimately be the called the CX-4. It is believed that this vehicle will be tailored for the younger target market who are more outgoing and willing to sacrifice inner cabin space for more style. It is rumoured that a production-ready version will debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November and that mass production will begin in March next year.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
bring it here please!
reasonably specced and priced of course…
it looks like this year facelift Rx..
Mazda really need to relook into the interior design.
To beat the honda HRV. They need to improve the interior space especially the rear and console height.
Even the CX-5 come with the cramp rear seat. what a disappointed layout from Mazda.
Umm. Hello? You’re obviously not Mazda’s target market. If you want room and practicality there is a whole gamut of dullmobiles out there to choose from. That’s reality.
completely different segment, no comparison (the mazda would be better in all areas anyway). and have u had a look into the latest mazda 6 interior? honda hrv aint got nothing on this..
Mazda 6 compete with the Accord not HR-V !!
thats to show mazda interior quality these days, and they did used the same interior in the pre-facelift mazda6 & cx5…surely everyone know this?
So is this supposed to be the coupe form of the CX-5 judging by the size? If it is then expect this to cost more than the CX-5.
