A rotary comeback, electrified

\nMazda Vision X-Coupe<\/p>\n

The Vision X-Coupe brings Mazda\u2019s Kodo design language into a muscular, futuristic form featuring a long bonnet, cab-rear proportions and an unmistakable rotary spirit reborn for the hybrid age.<\/p>\n

Under the bonnet sits a two-rotor rotary turbo plug-in hybrid system pairing petrol and electric muscle for a combined 375kW. Mazda claims 160km of electric range and up to 800km total with the rotary engine in play.<\/p>\n

True to Mazda\u2019s sustainability pledge, the concept also debuts “Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture\u201d a tech designed to remove CO\u2082 from the air while driving, helped along by microalgae-derived carbon-neutral fuel.<\/p>\n

In other words, the more it runs, the cleaner it gets. That\u2019s one way to out-Prius a\u00a0Prius<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nMazda Vision X-Compact<\/p>\n

Its smaller sibling, the Vision X-Compact, swaps rotary romance for AI rapport<\/a>. The hatchback explores what Mazda calls the \u201cfusion of human sensory digital models and empathetic AI,\u201d designed to act like a conversational companion, suggesting destinations and sharing in-car banter along the way.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a playful vision of mobility that\u2019s more \u201cmate in the passenger seat\u201d than \u201cvoice assistant with feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dimensionally, the Compact sits at 3825mm long with a 2515mm wheelbase, while the Coupe stretches to a 5050mm grand tourer form on a 3080 mm wheelbase.<\/p>\n

Plus: a familiar face

\nMazda CX-5<\/p>\n

Mazda also gave show-goers the first look at the all-new CX-5<\/a> (European spec), now riding on the new E\/E Architecture+ platform and claiming a sharper Jinba-ittai (driver-car unity) feel, a fitting evolution of a model that\u2019s sold over 4.5 million units worldwide.<\/p>\n

Mazda CEO Masahiro Moro summed up the showcase neatly: \u201cThe joy of driving can be a force for positive change for society and the planet.* If these two concept cars are anything to go by, Mazda\u2019s aiming for a future where driving doesn\u2019t just feel good – it does good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mazda unveiled the Vision X-Coupe and Vision X-Compact concepts at the Japan Mobility Show 2025.
