Notes
- Dimensions differ by source: Japanese Wikipedia (Japanese market) 4,575 × 1,845 × 1,690 mm, wheelbase 2,700 mm; English Wikipedia 4,550 mm long, 1,840 mm wide (market not stated). No Mazda dimension sheet is cited for the KF.
- The 2021 facelift went on sale in Japan in December 2021 (Japanese Wikipedia: announced 8 November 2021) and is the 2022 model year in the US.
- In the US a 2.2 Skyactiv-D diesel was sold only for the 2019 model year (Signature trim); no figures are recorded for it.
- European engine figures come from German Wikipedia's specification table. In Europe both petrol engines gained 24 V mild hybrid (M Hybrid) for the 2023 model year.
- English Wikipedia gives production as November 2016 – 2025; Japanese Wikipedia lists Japanese sales running into 2026.
