2017 Mazda CX-4 Gets Sweet Koeru Styling

The exterior design of the 2017 Mazda CX-4 crossover is completely based on the Koeru concept. The interesting compact crossover borrowed almost everything from the concept, which is pretty great, because now looks really stylish and dynamic. Compared to the bigger CX-5 model, the upcoming car is largely aggressive thanks to the lower roofline and sloping tail gate. However, the front end seems almost identical to CX-3 model. The new CX-4 features the same headlight styling and front bumper, while the grille sports the same shape but less slats. We haven’t seen the interior yet, but there will be a head-up-display and a MZD connect infotainment screen, as well as quite interesting upholstery.

What About The New CX-5?

How we see it, the all-new Mazda CX-4 will be more stylish and lifestyle model, but it will still take away a good part of the market from the CX-5. However, the introduction of this kind model could be a great deal for the CX-5 model, because the crossover could easily become larger, which will solve the issue of the current tight interior of the model.

In any case, the CX-4 will make the debut very soon, so we will have more sweet details. Stay tuned…
