Tuned Mazda ensemble to feature at Tokyo Auto Salon

mazda tokyo auto salon 2015 7

Staying true to its ZoomZoom philosophy, Mazda is touted to reveal a number of souped-up models at the upcoming 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon in January. Held annually, the Tokyo Auto Salon centres on the aftermarket scene and is regarded as one of the top shows in regards to the tuning scene.

Of all the models said to make an appearance, it is perhaps the presence of the Global MX-5 Cup car that has got us most excited. The more obtainable (hah!) ensemble of exhibits include tricked-out versions of the Mazda CX-3, CX-5, 2 (Demio), 3 (Axela) and 6 (Atenza).

On the Mazda CX-3, changes include a lower ride height, bodykit with red accents, black multi-spoke wheels and a somewhat tasteful vinyl application fore and aft the front wheels. The same treatment is echoed on the Mazda 2 and 3 with the exception of the 3 being featured with an additional red colour scheme.

Utilising a more stealthy approach, the Mazda 6 and CX-5 will feature black paint, darkened alloys and subtle brushed elements. Presented as Prestige-style concepts, the 6 and CX-5 are rumoured to appear as limited edition models not long after the show, which opens its doors from January 9 to 11.

  • Mazda 6 is one solid looking beast if you have a black color with black rims on and lowered. The car looks a bit high on the standard version though!

    The CX-3 looks good with that lowered suspension it look more like a hatch now but sadly its only coming here in 2016 but good news is we will get a diesel engine so its not all that bad…I bet Mazda is waiting for better fuel quality before they bring in better engines.
