Compact crossovers win the world – the share of this class in the market steadily grows. Therefore doesn't surprise that more and more manufacturers are engaged in struggle for sympathies and purses of buyers. Hasn't stood aside also Mazda – Japanese have brought on the Geneva showroom next similar concept. Why the next? Mazda already showed 2,5 years ago on Moscow motor show concept Kazamai. However the project hasn't received continuation. First, about technologies SKYACTIV have heard unless engineers of the company. And secondly, the design direction has cardinally changed – on change Nagare (stream) has come KODO (soul of movement). What for KODO? Remember autumn prototype Shinari to which honor to show idea has dropped out. Mazda Minagi became the second car, of Ikuo Maeda (the chief-designer of Mazda) which idea were embodied in metal and plastic. It has well, turned out rather not bad, and the main thing, is much more clear to general public, rather than frankly futuristic Kazamai.And here with power units – a riddle! Clearly only that the car will be entered completely in concept SKYACTIV which is developed by Japanese for the sake of achievement the best fuel efficiency and bigger pleasures from driving. Easier and strong body, the sympathetic chassis, motors with the increased EFFICIENCY and the modernized check points.
And, though outwardly Minagi looks car quite ready to manufacture, the debut future Mazda CX-5 depends on that, how fast engineers can embody all chain links SKYACTIV in life. At the best the serial crossover (it is probable, he will receive index CX-5) will see the world in the autumn, on a showroom in Frankfurt.
