Mazda reveals KAI CONCEPT and VISION COUPE

Mazda revealed two concepts today at the 2017 #tokyomotorshow. The #mazda #kaiconcept, a compact hatchback that heralds a new generation of inspired vehicles from the award-winning Japanese carmaker, made its world premiere. It was the second appearance for the #mazda #visioncoupe, a design #concept that debuted yesterday evening at a pre-show #event called #mazda Design Night 2017.
Featuring the next-generation SKYACTIV-X petrol engine, SKYACTIV-Vehicle Architecture and a more mature expression of the kodo design language, the #kaiconcept embodies the technology, engineering and styling concepts that will define the coming generation of Mazdas. Refinements in all areas of dynamic performance have produced a considerably quieter, more comfortable ride and enhanced performance. The #kaiconcept features muscular, solid proportions in a form brought to life by a delicate flow of reflections over the sides of the body.
Highlights of the #visioncoupe, meanwhile, include a kodo - SOUL OF MOTION exterior that embodies a minimalist Japanese aesthetic, achieving a simple “one-motion” form that conveys a sense of speed. The interior applies the #concept of ma (literally “space”) from traditional Japanese architecture, combining three-dimensional depth with a strong longitudinal axis to produce a relaxed space while maintaining the feeling of motion. As for the concept’s name, it pays homage to Mazda’s tradition of design elegance represented by #coupe models like the #mazda R360, Mazda’s first passenger car, and the #mazda Luce Rotary, also known as the #mazda R130.
Otherwise, #mazda has spotlights on the all-new #mazda CX-8, a three-row SUV going on sale in Japan later this year, as well as the 2018 #mazda MX-5 and 2018 #mazda MX-5 RF. The latter offer a number of enhancements such as a higher quality ride, more peaceful cabin and a wider choice of body colours.
In line with Sustainable Zoom-Zoom 2030, Mazda’s long-term vision for technology development, the company is looking to use the fundamental appeal of the automobile – driving pleasure – to inspire people and enrich society.
The company will hold press conference at 13:40 today, the first of two press days, to be broadcast live on YouTubeTwitter and Ustream. The 45th Tokyo Motor Show is open to the public from 28 October to 5 November.
