[Long-term test] At first, X6 was built on the basis of X5, and GLE Coupe was built on the basis of GLE. Although X4 and GL were relatively cheap later, the high price of luxury brands still made them only a few people’s things. Until a while ago, a car appeared, so that ordinary consumers can also come into contact with this Coupe style, and the price is less than 200 thousand, isn’t it attractive? Well, that’s it.
Hello, everyone, I’m Hou Yunfeng, the evaluation editor. I’m always called "Monkey Brother" at ordinary times, and I’ll perform the CX-4 long test this time. I also have a partner, that is, Wang Xilin, the car critic of our Car Encyclopedia. Why is she sitting on a somersault cloud? Because Cece recently had a bad cold and had to go to the hospital for infusion every day, she couldn’t catch up with the first issue, but she told me to take a group photo together, so I had to put her on the P. Don’t worry, everyone. After Cece recovers, she will come back to bring you long-term test content.
During the long-term test for half a year, CX-4 will be used as the daily commuter car for me and Sisi, and it will be used in turn. I commute 70 kilometers every day, and Sisi needs 50 kilometers. The distance is far and it is also very blocked. During this time, we will experience the fuel consumption, power, space and maintenance of CX-4, and strive to bring you the most authentic car experience. If you have any questions about CX-4 or want us to answer them, you can leave a message on my editing blog or Cece’s Weibo.
● Brief introduction of long measuring vehicle
Let’s talk about the test car first. The 2016 Mazda CX-4 2.5L automatic four-wheel drive Blue Sky Passion Edition has a long name, and it is the second best in the whole system. It is also the low match in two 2.5L cars, with a guide price of 192,800. Why did you choose it in the 2.0L five-car and 2.5L two-car? The reason is very simple. The power performance of the 2.5L model is better, and the 19-inch big feet are more in line with the Coupe shape. I believe that the friends who buy CX-4 are mainly for the face value and power, otherwise why don’t I buy a 2.0L one? Compared with the 2.5L high allocation, the power and four-wheel drive are the same, but some configurations are missing. Generally speaking, this car has a high cost performance and is suitable for friends who love driving.
From the first time I saw CX-4, I was attracted by its Coupe shape, which was really handsome and personalized, and the rate of turning back on the road was not low. The 19-inch big feet are particularly air-lifting. It looks much stronger than the 17-inch model of the 2.0L model, and the tires are thick enough. You don’t have to worry about running over potholes and manhole covers. It’s quite good.
However, CX-4′ s handsome big slip back shape has many troubles in daily use, and the rear windshield has a poor view. Once, three colleagues sat in the back row and went out together, and almost nothing could be seen in the rearview mirror. Moreover, it rains frequently these days, no matter it is light rain or heavy rain, as long as it falls on the rear windshield, it will be difficult to slide down, and it will be blurred if it gathers too much. When I used to drive an SUV or a car, I didn’t drive it very often. If I switch to CX-4, I must keep it open, otherwise I really can’t see it.
