After Toyota announced its lineup of Japan Mobility Exhibition Yesterday, it was now Mazda’s turn to preview what lies ahead. The single teaser image initially made us think of the long-awaited RX revival, but once we turned up the brightness, we noticed those were actually the rear doors. The sweeping shape brings to mind the Vision Coupe concept (pictured below)was unveiled in 2017 at the same event, when it was still known as the Tokyo Motor Show.
While we can’t determine the exact body shape of the car, it appears to have frameless windows and a large panoramic glass roof extending towards the rear. The sleek silhouette suggests not a crossover but a fastback or something; Think Mercedes CLS or Audi A7 Sportback.
Whatever the case may be, it is certain that the new concept is greater than the new concept Creator SP. For reference, that coupe is 164.6 inches (4.18 meters) long, making it taller than the Miata but much shorter than the RX-8. The side windows appear too small in relation to the body, and there are no visible door handles. Mazda has improved the side view by using small cameras instead of traditional side mirrors.
Although this upcoming concept does not appear to be a dedicated sports car, Mazda Don’t ignore the fun factor. The company says that the new vision “embodies the future of driving pleasure in every aspect.” We’ll have to wait until the end of the month to find out if it has a combustion engine, and if so, could it be a rotary?

It’s a valid question, considering Mazda has repositioned it Rotary engine team In early 2024. At that time, 36 engineers were tasked with developing “attractive cars that will arouse customer interest.” This visionary concept might fit the bill, assuming a production version follows.
If it has a rotary motor, another question arises: Does it power the wheels or act as a generator to charge the battery? As for the Iconic SP on the road, that’s Mazda Consider both devices. However, we’re probably getting ahead of ourselves since there’s no indication that the next Vision concept will use a rotary engine. Who knows, maybe it will go all-electric.
Mazda’s theme for this year’s show is “Driving Fun Fuels a Sustainable Tomorrow.” The key word here is “sustainable,” which might lead some to think the concept is all-electric. However, we hold out hope that a synthetic fuel combustion engine will emerge.
After all, Mazda has teamed up with Toyota and Subaru to develop compatible engines Carbon neutral fuel. If the model has an engine, it may preview Mazda’s upcoming model SkyActiv-Z The powertrain is scheduled to debut in production cars by 2027.
Everything will be revealed on October 29, during the first press day of the Japanese Mobility Expo. The new CX-5 will also be there for the first time in front of the public.
