Mazda just unveiled another one at the Moscow Motor Show – the Mazda Kazamai. Come to think of it, it has been hella frustrating. Mazda teasing us with their zoom-zoom philosophy and that Nagare design language that has been lent to all of their concepts so far.
Well, if you’re asking when will Mazda ever take their rad looking concepts to production, then good news, this will also serve as a preview of the CX-5. And yes, even with that look, the Kazamai is a crossover vehicle.
This will be part of the lighter and more fuel-efficient lineup that Mazda will be launching in three years. With US legislation bearing down on automakers to improve overall fleet efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. Mazda intends 30% and 23% respectively.
And yes, the Kazamai-based CX-5 will be the first models in this project. The car will just be slightly larger than the current Mazda3, which means it will be 100 kgs lighter than rival CUVs. The car will also be powered by direct-injection petrol engines mated to lightweight transmissions
