Featuring the next-generation SKYACTIV-X gasoline engine, SKYACTIV-Vehicle Architecture and a more mature expression of the KODO design language, the Mazda KAI CONCEPT embodies the technology, engineering and design concepts that will define the next generation of Mazda cars. Refinements in all areas of dynamic performance have produced a dramatically quieter, more comfortable ride and an enhanced performance feel. The KAI CONCEPT features muscular, solid proportions and its form is brought to life by a delicate flow of reflections over the body sides.

Since 2010, Mazda has attracted global acclaim for its vital and dynamic car designs created under the KODO—Soul of Motion philosophy. Moving forward, the company will explore a Japanese aesthetic and further develop KODO in pursuit of more elegant and premium styling.
THe Mazda VISION COUPE is next-generation design vision model.
The exterior of the next-generation vision model embodies a minimalist Japanese aesthetic, achieving a simple “one motion” form that exudes a sense of speed.

SKYACTIV-X is an entirely new internal combustion engine from Mazda that combines the high-revving character of a gasoline engine with the fuel efficiency, torque and fast initial response of a diesel. With its proprietary combustion method called Spark Controlled Compression Ignition (SPCCI), SKYACTIV-X is set to become the world’s first* commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition. SPCCI overcomes the long-standing issue of maximizing the zone in which compression ignition is possible and realizes a seamless transition between compression ignition and spark ignition.
* As of August 2017. According to in-house investigations.
