Tough news, folks. If you’ve quietly had your eye on the Mazda CX-4, we are sorry to disappoint you here — a scoop from Australia claims that the model will only be sold in China. Little wonder then, as to why spyshots have only come out of the country, followed by news that it will make its global debut at the coming 2016 Beijing Motor Show.
A report by CarAdvice quoted Karla Leach, a senior manager of public relations for Mazda Australia, who broke the news. “We like the look of the car, and think that the styling very much is in line with Australian tastes, at the moment it isn’t going to be sold outside of China,” she said.
Mazda may have only released a single teaser image that depicts the model’s sloping roofline, chrome belt line trim, roof rails and rear wing. But thanks to several spyshot opportunities in China, we’ve been able to show you far more revealing pictures of the car.
Apart from its familiar exterior and interior design that largely resemble what we’ve seen on other Mazda models, such as the Mazda 3 and 6, there’s little else known about the CX-4. The car maker’s SkyActiv-G petrol and SkyActiv-D diesel engines are expected to feature here, offering power outputs ranging from 155 hp to 184 hp.
More details ahead, as we await the Mazda CX-4’s official debut at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show. For those still with hope, know that Mazda itself hasn’t yet made any official announcements regarding the model’s global availability, so you could argue that there’s still hope for it heading to other parts of the world.

Good..too many same face models lokks boring

yalor, his family members who are same face look boring for others…:))))
at least the front lights looks different for m2, m3, cx5, mx5, m6 ( mazda not so stingy to invest in the light mold )…compare to merz and audi who so called high-class car, they almost use the same front light, kedekut ni!!!
Open your eyes!! Mercedes front like are different for C,E,S. The taillights are identical.

CX-“4” only sold in China ?.. then it will “4” as Chinese hate word of “4” or “dead”…better their have another name for it.
Im sure ppl already grow up dude.. Its 2016… Until when ppl gonna believe in numbers dedicating their lives….
But rav4 is selling there as well. Should they change name to Rav3A and Mazda3A ??
sell or don’t sell in M’sia doesn’t matter.
i tot CX4 is a fix for crampy back passenger seat in CX3
Maybe not sold in Australia only….doesn’t make sense create a model just for one market unless you are certain it will sell like no tomorrow. China likes huge cars and a small one like the cx4 will have limited market there
What a great looking car. Would sell well globally. So why does it take Mazda so long to release their models in certain markets? Thailand for example. Who runs Mazdas global marketing? The company needs a shake up..
Still remember Honda said that Civic Turbo wont come to SEA. and now Thailand got it and I thk its coming to Malaysia soon.I believe the Mazda Aus PR salah dengar kut~
