Mazda sports coupe embodies Soul of Motion

Mazda Shinari Concept

Mazda Shinari is a four-door, four-seat sports coupe concept vehicle and a pure expression of Mazda’s new design theme, Kodo — Soul of Motion — in its idealized form. The Shinari showcases several new design elements that will carry forward into production, beginning with the 2013 CX-5 compact SUV, and it represents the first initiative by Mazda Design to express Kodo.

In the interior, Mazda says it designed the optimum space for both the driver cockpit, to enable the driver to focus on the task of driving, as well as the passenger environment, offering a sense of openness, and it offers new ideas in human-machine interface in cockpit design.

A quick maintenance tip from Russell & Smith Mazda: Run your engine for a few minutes before powering up the heater, air conditioner, windshield wipers and other accessories.
Accelerating with a cold engine can cause premature engine failure.

Mazda Takeri Concept (new Mazda6) European debut at Geneva

The Mazda Takeri Concept – which previews the new Mazda 6 – gets its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Lots of new photos.

It’s only a couple of months since we first saw the Mazda Takeri Concept – at the Tokyo Motor Show in December – and now Mazda are giving the Takeri a European outing with a debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

The Takeri Concept isn’t just a concept for the sake of it, but is pretty much what we’ll get as the 2013 Mazda6, which makes the Takeri not just more interesting than it would have been as a pure concept, but also promises an interesting new Mazda6 too.

The Takeri/Mazda6 utilises Mazda’s latest design language – KODO – Soul of Motion – which we’ve also seen in the new Mazda CX-5 and the Shinari Concept from 2010. And we do think it looks good.

But looking good is just part of the equation for new Mazdas, with the really interesting stuff going on under the skin. The Takeri gets Mazda’s new SkyActiv technology engines which manage to reduce both fuel consumption and emissions without sacrificing enjoyment. That it also does it with petrol engines is a big plus.

The Takeri Concept gets Mazda’s new SkyActiv 2.2 litre turbo diesel with stop-start and the new SkyActiv 6-speed auto ‘box. There’s alos something Mazda called i-Eloop, which converts kinetic energy from braking to electricity which it stores in a capacitor and uses to run ancillaries thereby reducing fuel use and lowering emissions.

The Mazda Takeri Concept - and ergo the new Mazda6 – will debut at Geneva in March 2012.

We are so grateful for this wonderful review!

"My wife and I stopping by the dealer just for "window shopping", Mr. Sutoyo Sugiharto very friendly introduced himself, and very patiently explained our questions in ourown language, "Manderin". He made us really feel at home, rather than struggle in making a deal. Guess what, we made a deal in just two hours. That was including test driving, trim line selection, disscusion of services and technique issues and negotiation of price. In the end, we drive home a Big Chinese New Year Gift.

Thanks, Sutoyo." -wangjp
