Double premiere for Mazda at the Tokyo Motor Show

  • Compact hatchback #concept to debut with new technology including #skyactivx engine
  • Design vision #concept reveals direction for Mazda’s next KODO-inspired model generation
  • 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.
