Mazda will be premiering its new Minagi compact crossover SUV concept at the Geneva Motor Show this March, and has released the first sketches of the vehicle.
The company says that the vehicle will showcase its SkyActiv technologies and new Kodo design language, and is effectively a preview to an upcoming next-generation product – an entry-level SUV likely to be the CX-5.
No details as yet, but Mazda states that the Minagi will fully introduce the host of SkyActiv technologies available – it’ll feature a SkyActiv body and chassis as well as a SkyActiv engine and transmission.
From a design language point of view, the Kodo design theme on this one is said to “communicate pent-up energy bursting with vitality as the vehicle nimbly navigates a sprawling urban cityscape.” Do you see it in the renditions?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The front is like skyline g37 crossover and the rear is a clear reminiscence of the hyundai tucson.long live cx9~!!
Good…upcoming Mazda CX-5 on the way.
ZOOM ZOOM…
Why can’t Mazda adopt these sort of styling in to their production cars?
I mean the current 6, CX7 and CX9 are cool.. but the smiley grin on the Mazda 3 just irks me… it may look cute, but it makes the current Vios less funny.
Wait the next generation…the new range will be on concept shinari..
i’ll be trading my wife’s H-Siti to this when its launch!..woohooo :)
It looks like this Kodo language was already used on the hatch versions of the 2 and 3.
I don’t see the pent-up energy part, it looks a little controlled. Perhaps a nice wacky aftermarket spoiler? Or jet wings. Or a thruster, I dunno.
The pent-up energy would be the driver’s, definitely at 6pm on a weekday, negotiating KL traffic!! Glad I don’t have to do this every day!
Hehe, me neither. Advantages of working 5km from home.
paul..DNF for Proton. Chris Atkinson is reported to have crashed his PROTON Satria Neo. during SS1..huhu~
look almost like Hyundai Tucson, hope pricing wise not too far away!
Rear look sebiji just like Savvy, copycat Mazda
you’d better get your eyes checked… (T.T)
Yeah right, Mazda copied Proton……..no only need your eyes checked, get your brain checked too….
The only thing I can see is Tucson copycat
that’s a bit like looking at an apple and saying that it looks like a banana…
I spy…. a Murano…which just shows just how far up ahead the curve it was when it was launched in 2004.
It does look good though. But then again, the dawn of SUVs and CUVs have passed.
Mazda has seemed to have lost some of its mojo. Most of its new cars are re-hash of old concepts. Long gone are the driving force behind the rotary and the spark that revived the “small british sportscar”,
Long live the Rotary Turbo!
this car is remind me the hyundai tucson,the only different is the front grill
Kopi kat Tucson.
What a shame.
seriously it looks like a tucson but still nice design language by mazda
