- All-new #mazda #cx8 and a special edition #mazda #mx5 also on display
Hiroshima / Leverkusen, 10 October 2017.
#mazda Motor Corporation will exhibit two
#concept models at the 2017
#tokyomotorshow: one that heralds the company’s next-generation products and another that embodies the direction of its next-generation designs.
#mazda is also featuring the
#skyactivx petrol engine as a technology exhibit at the show, which opens to the public from 28 October through 5 November after press days on 25 & 26 October.
The product
#concept, a compact hatchback that fuses next-generation technology and design, makes its world premiere in
#tokyo. It features SKYACTIV-Vehicle Architecture, next-generation technologies based on Mazda’s human-centred design philosophy that deliver optimum functionality, and is powered by the
#skyactivx, the world’s first
* commercially available petrol engine to use compression ignition. The upshot is dramatically refined dynamic performance to go with an eye-catching exterior.
The design vision model, meanwhile, defines
#mazda next-generation design
#concept – a more profound expression of the globally acclaimed KODO design language that debuted on the
#mazda CX-5 in 2012.
Also displayed will be the
#mazda #cx8, a new three-row crossover SUV with major upgrades to the SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel, as well as a special edition
#mazda #mx5 Red Top. The
#mazda #cx8 will be on sale in Japan in December. The
#mazda #mx5 will feature a dark cherry red canopy and auburn nappa leather upholstery.
“In August, we announced Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030, our long-term vision for technology development setting out how
#mazda hopes to use driving pleasure, the fundamental appeal of the automobile, to help solve issues facing
#people, the earth and society. The vision commits
#mazda to substantive cuts in CO 2 emissions, and we believe the best way to achieve this is to reduce emissions under real-world conditions while offering a mix of combustion engines and electrification technologies in consideration of each region’s energy situation and energy mix,” said Mazda’s Representative Director, President and CEO
#masamichikogai. “Our stand this year marks the beginning of a new era for
#mazda. We will showcase a
#concept with the design and technologies that will define a whole new generation of
#mazda cars. Among them is
#skyactivx, a petrol engine that achieves a long-held dream in the global
#automotive industry.”
#mazda will hold a press conference on 25 October at 13:40 local time.
