Mazda is primed and ready to go to the Geneva Motor Show with their latest
concept, the Minagi. This new concept car previews the next generation CX5-SUV.
As seen in the Shinary Concept, the design of the Mazda Minagi
jumps out at us with that big smiling face and those flowing lines. The
new, much more aggressive and sporty design will make the future CX-5 a
very important competitor for models like the Audi-Q5, the Volkswagen Tiguan, and the recently launched Kia Sportage.
According to the
first details offered by Mazda, Minagi is a compact crossover SUV
concept that combines Mazda’s SkyActiv technologies – which represent
the harmony between driving pleasure and outstanding environmental and
safety performance – with emotional Kodo design that communicates
pent-up energy bursting with vitality as the vehicle nimbly navigates a
sprawling urban cityscape. Fully introducing SkyActiv technologies
throughout, Minagi is equipped with a SkyActiv engine and SkyActiv
transmission fitted to a SkyActiv-Body and chassis that merge
comprehensive weight reduction with the assurance of ample safety
features.
Exterior and Interior
The fourth generation Mazda MX-5 will feature a large
five-point grille and fluid lines, just like the Shinari concept.
Headlamps will get LED lights technology and everything will be a
combination of sportiness and elegance. The interior will get sports
seats and different aluminum insertions. The latest technologies will
also appear in the future MX5.
The Engine
Under the hood of the future Mazda MX-5 there will be a
newly developed four-cylinder engine with up to 160 hp. It will be a
direct injection engine and will come with a start-stop system. These
two features are new for the MX-5 and will help in improving the car’s
fuel consumption. The standard gearbox will be a six-speed manual, but
buyers who don’t want to use this car to it’s full potential can get a
dual-clutch semi-automatic.
