Bitauto Original At this Guangzhou Auto Show, the Changan Mazda brand brought its new compact SUV-CX-50. As the second product in Mazda's "0" product series, the CX-50 is equipped with Mazda's new generation platform technology and a new "soul movement" design concept.
The CX-50 is not as sophisticated, light and dynamic as the traditional Mazda. This car obviously has a tough and even strong style, and it has a certain sense of off-road vehicle. The completely blackened grille adopts a popular horizontal dot matrix design, and the black trim strips on the lower half of the grille further emphasize the tough style. The lower half of the front of the car and the front bumper are almost all made of black, which is large and thick.
The size of the headlights is further reduced compared to the body. The double "L" shaped daytime running lights are compared to the sharp "squinting eyes" of Mazda in the past. This new headlight gives people the feeling Much gentler.
The side of the CX-50's body continues the style of the front. From the lines to the shape, it is square and powerful, and you can feel the practicality brought by the large and thick body. Mazda never neglects the details on the side. You can see a line extending from the hood and from the C-pillar to the taillight, which makes the light and shadow effect on the side more abundant. At the same time, there is a sculptural-like under the C-pillar. The bulge not only enhances the strength but also improves the viewing quality.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4785/1920/1638mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2815mm. The new style 19-inch wheels fit very well with the body lines. The tire model is Bridgestone ECOPIA H/L 422 plus series, the specification is 225/55 R19, which is a low rolling resistance tire that focuses on environmental protection and energy saving. .
Coming to the rear of the car, the wide rear bumper is full of visual experience of a hardcore SUV. The two exhaust outlets and fenders on both sides are also very wide, making the tail more layered. The CX-50 is equipped with air guides on both sides of the rear of the car, which not only makes the details more eye-catching, but also creates some vehicle performance capabilities. Viewed from the rear, the outline of the entire car body is thick and powerful, integrating Mazda's fine points very appropriately.
Currently, the interior of the CX-50 has not been officially announced, but we can get a sneak peek through the official pictures. The interior will obviously continue to maintain Mazda's usual simple styling. The functional divisions of each part are clear and clear. Although the central control screen is not so mainstream in size, it does not affect normal use at all. On the contrary, it makes the entire car layout more harmonious without being overly prominent. Appropriate stitching decoration also adds bright colors to the interior of the car.
In terms of power, the domestic version will be based on Changan Mazda’s newly developed petrol-electric platform.It is a technology platform newly developed by Changan Mazda for the Chinese market that is compatible with various fuel/gas-electric hybrid powertrains. The early models put on the market are available with Chuangchi Blue Sky 2.0L and 2.5L high compression ratio engines. The 2.5L engine is equipped with intelligent cylinder change technology, which stops the outer 2 of the 4 cylinders when driving at a constant speed. Cylinder technology helps improve actual fuel consumption by reducing fuel consumption during this period. HEV hybrid models will also be launched in the future.
Editor’s comment: The CX-50 will be produced in China by Changan Mazda in 2023. This car is built on Changan Mazda's newly developed petrol-electric platform. In the future, it will be a new generation model for domestic Mazda in the mid-to-high-end SUV market. Let us stay tuned next year.
