Mazda has unveiled a new concept car, the Vision X-Coupe, at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. The concept showcases Mazda’s design language evolution, blending elements from current models like the 3 hatchback and CX-30 crossover into a four-door coupe form factor.
The standout feature of the Vision X-Coupe is its powertrain technology. The concept features a plug-in hybrid system with a two-rotor turbocharged rotary engine as the internal combustion component, delivering a total output of 503 hp. This configuration offers a total range of 500 miles, with 100 miles on electric power alone.
Mazda has also incorporated sustainability initiatives into the concept. The company envisions using carbon-neutral refined fuel from microalgae and capturing CO2 from the vehicle, effectively turning driving into a means of reducing emissions. Masahiro Moro, Mazda’s President and CEO, emphasizes this eco-friendly approach as a key aspect of the company’s vision for the future.
This innovative integration of hybrid technology and sustainability efforts positions Mazda as a leader in eco-conscious automotive design, combining performance with environmental responsibility.
