Mazda unveils new concept in Moscow


hid kits
Continuing Mazda's series of stylish concept cars employing the company's Nagare 'flow' design language is the new Kazamai concept car, which made its first public appearance at the Moscow Motor Show this week.

Kazamai translates as 'swirling crosswinds' in Japanese and the show car takes the form of a sporty compact SUV.

The debut of Mazda's latest concept in Russia is significant, as the country's car sales have exploded in the past four years to challenge Germany for title of Europe's biggest market. Not only that, but the SUV segment accounts for a massive 16% of cars sold.

Although it is thought that the Kazamai hints at a new compact SUV to sit below the current CX-7 in the Mazda line-up, it is obviously still too futuristic to make it into the showroom, with items such as its eye-catching 22-inch alloy wheels unlikely to be the norm for some time to come.

However, the concept does preview Mazda's forthcoming suite of fuel-saving technologies, as well as the use of lightweight materials.
