Mazda’s upcoming crossover has been spotted in an unnamed facility in Japan.
The vehicle is naturally part of Mazda’s CX family and was photographed entirely undisguised in an undisclosed facility by Popsuv. As you can see in the adjacent photos, the car is pretty close to the concept shown at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. The pictures aren’t too good and have a low resolution, but you can perceive the general style of the vehicle.
Mazda’s newest crossover is expected to have a different position in the brand’s lineup. The Koeru-inspired model will have a sporty design with a high level of practicality. While some voices call the car CX-4, others believe it will be named CX-6. Regarding size, the vehicle is about as large as a CX-5, so the CX-6 name could be more appropriate. For now, there’s no official comment on the situation.
The Mazda Koeru concept continues the KODO - Soul of Motion design language with a bold twist. From its introduction, the exhibit was promised a production version that would compete in the SUV segment with new attributes and with its sharp design.
Mazda is expected to make use of its SkyActiv technology for the engine, transmission, and chassis for the future crossover, just like the company did with its most recent releases. The SkyActiv name stands for the Japanese brand’s new philosophy on designing and developing new technologies. All the SkyActiv features are meant to make Mazda cars lighter, more fuel efficient, and to enhance the driving experience.
We expect Mazda to unveil the official photo gallery of the new crossover in the coming months. Most likely, the company will choose the Geneva Motor Show to showcase the production version of the car pictured in the photos below. If the vehicle doesn’t appear at the brand’s stand in Geneva, there’s still a chance of it being launched this year at other important automotive events, such as the Shanghai Auto Show, or the Paris Motor Show.
