Mazda MX-Crossport-an entirely new breed of vehicle that combines the merits of a sports car and an SUV-was first introduced to the public in January at the 2005 North America International Auto Show in Detroit. The Tokyo Motor Show marks its debut in Japan. The Mazda MX-Crossport indicates a direction that Mazda's future products could take as it further expands its line up of new generation products.
MPV The all-new Mazda MPV, planned to be launched first in Japan as part of its global rollout, is a further evolution of the original MPV's user-friendly packaging. It reflects Mazda DNA within a relaxing interior, refined and stylish design, and outstanding driving pleasure that far surpasses that of a conventional minivan. The Mazda Premacy Hydrogen RE (rotary engine) Hybrid concept features a hybrid power unit that combines a dual-fuel, hydrogen/gasoline rotary engine with an electric motor. The power unit is transversely mounted at the front in a front-wheel drive layout. The development team aimed to produce a vehicle with outstanding driving and environmental performance along with a comfortable, roomy interior.
Other exhibits include a Mazda RX-8 equipped with the hydrogen RE engine that is viable for practical uses, with plans for commercial leasing in the future. Also on exhibit will be the next-generation MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo engine with direct injection that achieves clean, powerful performance; the Smart Idling Stop System which eliminates the need for an electric starter motor, and delivers quiet and quick starting; and Advanced Driver-Support Technologies that incorporates intelligent transport systems. Mazda is developing unique technologies to create vehicles that combine care for the environment while still retaining the Zoom-Zoom spirit. Test rides in the Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE are available at the Clean Energy Vehicle Test Ride event site. (October 5, 2005)
