The Mazda Kai Concept has been revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show today hinting at the look of the next-generation Mazda 3.
THE KAI CONCEPT HAS been revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show today showing off a new design direction for the brand’s small cars and you can bet the next-generation Mazda 3 will take styling cues from this thing.
In a short statement, ahead of the official reveal later today, Mazda said “The Mazda KAI CONCEPT compact hatchback heralds a new generation of Mazda cars. Featuring the next-generation SKYACTIV-X gasoline engine, SKYACTIV-Vehicle Architecture and a more mature expression of the KODO design language, the model embodies the technology, engineering and design concepts that will define the next generation of Mazda cars.
“Refinements in all areas of dynamic performance have produced a dramatically quieter, more comfortable ride and an enhanced performance feel. The KAI CONCEPT features muscular, solid proportions and its form is brought to life by a delicate flow of reflections over the body sides.”
If I believe the hype about Sky-X, we should see 30% better fuel economy, but more power and torque. Hopefully the 2.5l engine can hit at least 150kW, 280Nm.
