Mazda
Koeru Concept
Mazda
has made a strong statement at the 2015 Frankfurt International Motor Show as
the unconventional Japanese carmaker unveils the Mazda Koeru, a brand-new
crossover SUV concept, in a world premiere.
As
the name says - Koeru is Japanese for "exceed" or "go
beyond" - the concept embodies Mazda's ambition to deliver value that
transcends the ordinary. In doing so, the Koeru exudes power, vitality and an
extraordinary level of refinement in a bold rendition of the company's KODO -
Soul of Motion design philosophy, which provides the stylistic basis for its
award-winning model line-up.
The
broad proportions and low-leaning cabin generate a sense of speed and volume,
creating a formidable presence. While the KODO signature wing conveys
determination, the LED guiding rings evoke the bright, strongwilled eyes of an
untamed animal. Highlights on the front and rear fenders, meanwhile, extend
towards the large wheels, suggesting powerful legs pounding the earth.
As
a package, the SUV concept expresses the power and agility - but also the
dignity and refinement - of a predator, with aweinspiring proportions and an
intriguing form that hints of Japanese aesthetic.
The
Koeru's sleek shapes also offer outstanding aerodynamics, optimising the flow
of air over the body and stifling underfloor turbulence - details that enhance
vehicle stability, especially at higher speeds. Special NVH-suppressing
technology, meanwhile, makes for a smoother and quieter ride.
Featuring
the latest SKYACTIV Technology, the Koeru is guaranteed to deliver the Jinba
Ittai responsiveness Mazda puts into every vehicle it makes. The details
include lightweight yet rigid body and chassis design, driver-focused
suspension and steering, and innovatively fuel-efficient powertrains built
according to Mazda's sports-car tradition. Together they offer a generous
portion of the brand's hallmark driving fun.
Targeted
at the progressively minded, Mazda's revolutionary new Koeru concept sends a
clear message to the competition in this fast-growing and increasingly
competitive vehicle segment.
