Mazda 2011

Mazda 2011 Mazda is primed and ready to go to the Geneva Motor Show with their latest concept, the Minagi. This new concept car previews the next generation CX5-SUV.

As seen in the Shinary Concept, the design of the Mazda Minagi jumps out at us with that big smiling face and those flowing lines. The new, much more aggressive and sporty design will make the future CX-5 a very important competitor for models like the Audi-Q5, the Volkswagen Tiguan, and the recently launched Kia Sportage.

According to the first details offered by Mazda, Minagi is a compact crossover SUV concept that combines Mazda’s SkyActiv technologies – which represent the harmony between driving pleasure and outstanding environmental and safety performance – with emotional Kodo design that communicates pent-up energy bursting with vitality as the vehicle nimbly navigates a sprawling urban cityscape. Fully introducing SkyActiv technologies throughout, Minagi is equipped with a SkyActiv engine and SkyActiv transmission fitted to a SkyActiv-Body and chassis that merge comprehensive weight reduction with the assurance of ample safety features.

Exterior and Interior

The fourth generation Mazda MX-5 will feature a large five-point grille and fluid lines, just like the Shinari concept. Headlamps will get LED lights technology and everything will be a combination of sportiness and elegance. The interior will get sports seats and different aluminum insertions. The latest technologies will also appear in the future MX5.

The Engine

Under the hood of the future Mazda MX-5 there will be a newly developed four-cylinder engine with up to 160 hp. It will be a direct injection engine and will come with a start-stop system. These two features are new for the MX-5 and will help in improving the car’s fuel consumption. The standard gearbox will be a six-speed manual, but buyers who don’t want to use this car to it’s full potential can get a dual-clutch semi-automatic.
