Remember the Mazda Koeru concept that made its debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show? The company described it as its "latest venture into the growing crossover SUV market" and confirmed there will be a production version of it before the show was over.

It happened in 2015 and in early 2016 Mazda confirmed it will be called the CX-4. Come 2016 and Mazda’s latest people hauler made its debut at the Beijing Auto Show.

About the same size as the CX-5, the CX-4 is not only a bigger proposition to the car-based CX-3, but also a sportier, coupe-like one.
