Mazda unveiled two concept vehicles at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, formerly known as the Tokyo Motorshow.
The Vision X-Coupe and Vision X-Compact (‘X’ pronounced as ‘cross’) are the two main exhibits at the Mazda booth this year, featuring the theme of “The Joy of Driving Fuels a Sustainable Tomorrow” for 2035.
According to a press release from Mazda, the Vision X-Coupe is a four-door, four-seat sports concept that embodies the further evolution of ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language.
It is powered by a plug-in hybrid system integrating a two-rotary turbo engine with a motor and battery. With an output of 510 horsepower, the vehicle offers a driving range of 160 kms in motor-only mode and up to 800 kms when operating in combination with the engine.
And by combining carbon-neutral fuel derived from microalgae with Mazda’s proprietary CO2 capture technology (Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture), the vehicle contributes to reducing atmospheric CO2 the more it is driven.
Meanwhile, the Vision X-Compact is a model designed to deepen the bond between people and cars through the fusion of a human sensory digital model and empathetic AI.
Acting like a close companion, it is capable of engaging in natural conversation and suggesting destinations, helping expand the driver’s world, according to Mazda. This represents the Hiroshima-based company’s vision for the future of smart mobility, where vehicles and people form an emotional connection, much like a heartfelt relationship.
Furthermore, the all-new Euro-spec Mazda CX-5 is also on display to the general public for the first time. Featuring a specious interior, refined KODO design, and enhanced Jinba-ittai (oneness between driver and car) driving dynamics, this model represents the evolution of a best-selling vehicle that has sold over 4.5 million units across more than 100 countries. This latest model is designed with MAZDA E/E ARCHITECTURE+, the new electrical and electronic architecture offering an evolved driving experience.
Masahiro Moro, Representative Director, President and CEO of Mazda, stated: “The phrase, ‘The joy of driving fuels a sustainable tomorrow,’ expresses not only Mazda’s fundamental spirit, but also the core of its future challenges. Under the shared global mission of achieving carbon neutrality, Mazda believes that the joy of driving can be a force for positive change for society and the planet. We remain committed to fulfilling the desire of those who love cars and wish to continue driving as long as possible.”
He said Mazda will continue to evolve the ‘Joy of Driving’ based on the value of ‘Radically Human,’ and will aim to deliver the ‘Joy of Living’ by creating mobility experiences in our customers’ daily lives.
