Japan Mobility Show 2025: Mazda
- Mazda has announced a concept and released a first teaser image, which doesn't really reveal much. We can assume that it has four doors and is probably a coupe. Could it therefore be an evolution of the 2017 Vision Coupe concept? The profile appears to be quite smooth, as there are no door handles or mirrors visible. The most interesting question is likely to be the engine, as Mazda rebuilt its Wankel engine production team in 2024. It is quite possible that this will function as a generator for a battery as a range extender. Since Mazda is championing a “sustainable future” for this year's JMS, a BEV would also be possible.
- Mazda will exhibit its third generation of the Mazda CX-5 at this year's Japan Mobility Show. Production already began in October at the japaneseUjina plant, and the vehicle is expected to be available in stores in December 2025 for approximately €35,000. Around 4.5 million vehicles of this model have been built since 2012. The SUV has a 2.5-liter mild hybrid engine but no diesel variant. Externally, the design of the new CX-5 has not changed too much. However, it will be considerably larger, growing by 11.5 cm in length to 4.69 meters, by 1.5 cm in width to 1.86 meters, and by 3 cm in height to 1.70 meters. The hood will also be raised by 5 cm. This pushes the model out of the C segment and into the D segment. In Europe, 38,914 units of this model were sold between 2014 and 2024. Inovev forecasts a production of 300.000 units per year production.
- Mazda will also present a strictly limited racing edition of its MX-5 roadster. The vehicle is expected to deliver up to 200 hp, cost more than €43,000, and be limited to 100 models.
