Mazda Koeru Concept Suggests New Dynamic CX Model
The Mazda Koeru concept has made it’s debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show and is an SUV crossover that could slot between the CX-3 and CX-5 in the manufacturer’s line up. Despite not being based on a current model platform, the Koeru concept shares very similar dimensions to the current CX-5, but features a more sporty, coupé style roofline.
Mazda have said they are unsure whether it would be intentionally positioned between the CX-3 and CX-5, due to it’s more dynamic and lower profile. Conversely, they have also stated it would benefit from being a part of an already recognised model range. This puts it somewhat in the dark whether we will see a new, separate model or a CX-4 in the future, despite it’s alternate styling.
Mazda claim a premium level of refinement on the outside as well as inside the low cabin. The bold KODO – Soul of Motion design offers a highly aerodynamic body, finished off with an aggressive grille and headlight pairing as well as 21-inch wheels. Mazda’s efficient SKYACTIV Technology powertrains also feature with a more rigid chassis for greater handling and improved safety.
Expect to see a complete version next year before the car is ready to hit the shelves in 2017, where Mazda will further their attack towards the fiercely competitive SUV market.
