The Mazda Koeru concept, which is making its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, is billed as a new crossover SUV concept – the study could possibly preview a sportier CX-5 for the near future.
Said concept rides on a 2,700 mm wheelbase, which matches that of the CX-5. It’s also 4,600 mm long, 1,900 mm wide and 1,500 mm tall, compared to the CX-5’s 4,555 mm, 1,840 mm and 1,670 mm respectively.
It’s definitely a mean looking SUV, especially with its blacked-out A-pillars further lending to its ground-hugging stance. Its wheelarches are massive, matched to equally large 21-inch wheels.
Mazda claims that the Koeru is built on a “lightweight yet rigid body and chassis,” with “driver-focuses suspension and steering.” It’s also said to have aerodynamic additions that enhance vehicle stability, especially at higher speeds.
It’s clear, then, that this is meant to be a lower-slung, more driver-oriented SUV that Mazda intends to bring to the market sometime in the near future. Its wheelbase also points to it being based on the CX-5, which means it’s not a mere design study with little chance of making it into production.
So folks, fancy a sportier Mazda CX-5 SUV?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Looks like Infiniti QX70..
I don’t see the resemblance at least from the front. Well, Infiniti was accused of copying the Mazda3 with their new Q30 hatch.
So I guess they’re even.
Almost production-like.
Come on Paul, it obviously previews the CX-9.
Dimensions are too small. The net is crawling with rumours of a CX-4 or even a CX-6.
i agreed with you, the concept car are too big to be CX5..should be CX7 or CX9.
I would guess it’s a CX-6.
The new CX-9 is far more bigger and prototypes were already spied (search the Internet). The new CX-9 will be unveiled at the LA Motorshow this year.
Almost no difference.
1 Design can sell 10 years.
This looks awesome! looks sportier compared to the current CX-5. can’t wait for it to enter Malaysia.
a more affordable option to Macan & X4
Cannot compare, this has no turbo
Budget version of course no turbo la
Sorry, Current CX-5 is just got every angle right. This one is ugly, the rear is like the hunchback of notre dame, with tiny spoiler. Mazda should come out with new design instead of tweaking the current one. Too much tweak will spoil the design.
WHY IT’S AN SUV? WHY? THIS WORLDWIDE OBSESSION WITH SUV MUST STOP!
That looks awesome like possum…
mazda always come up with good design. Is it new Cx-9 or cx-5? i dont care
I assume, that the Koeru wont replace the CX-5 because it is a different category. The Koeru is for me more a «raised Mazda 3».
But I can imagine, that a future CX-5 will grow to a 7-seater and become the new CX-7.
I very like the Koeru concept…!
Look like Jaguar CX-17
