Here's Your First Look At Mazda's RX Vision Follow-Up
We’re just a few weeks away from the public debut of Mazda’s follow-up for the stunning RX Vision concept at the Tokyo Motor Show. From the sounds of it, the car will be powered by a rotary engine, and today Mazda has given us our first look via a teaser image.
As you can just about make out, it cuts a similarly long, unfussy figure to the RX Vision, but this concept has sprouted an extra pair of doors. Mazda is calling it a “design vision model,” intended to preview the future of its “Kodo design language.”
It’ll share Mazda’s stand with another concept (above), which the Japanese manufacturer calls a “compact hatchback that fuses next-generation technology and design.” In other words, it’s a preview of the next 3 hatchback, even if Mazda won’t say as much just yet.
It’s powered by Mazda’s innovative, ultra-high compression homogeneous charge spark ignition (HCSI) petrol engine, dubbed SkyActiv-X. It’ll make its debut alongside the RX Vision successor and the new CX-8 three-row SUV on 25 October.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
Comments
The most promising aspect of the upper picture is that it looks like a 4 door, like the late RX-8. At this point, if Mazda would offer a rear wheel drive 4 seater, I would be ecstatic, whether it’s powered by a rotary, which I would certainly prefer, or their HCCI engine.
Reminds me of the Lexus LC-LF concept
another concept with no door handles, excited for the actual car tho
