Mazda Motor Corporation introduced two new concept vehicles, the Vision X-COUPE and Vision X-COMPACT, at the Japan Mobility Show 2025. They represent key figures in its future strategy for sustainable mobility and driver engagement, leading up to 2035.

The Vision X-COUPE is a plug-in hybrid crossover coupe powered by a two-rotor rotary turbo engine paired with an electric motor and battery. It delivers a maximum output of 510 PS (503 hp) and offers an electric-only range of 160 kilometres, extending to 800 kilometres with engine assistance. The model incorporates Mazda’s proprietary Mobile Carbon Capture system and runs on carbon-neutral fuel derived from microalgae, thereby reducing atmospheric CO2 emissions during operation.

Mazda also presented the Vision X-COMPACT, a compact vehicle (that reminds us of the short-lived Mazda2) designed to strengthen emotional connectivity between the car and driver. The concept integrates empathetic AI and a human sensory digital model, allowing the vehicle to hold natural conversations and propose destinations, Mazda’s approach to future smart mobility systems.

In addition to the two vision models, the all-new Mazda CX-5 in its European specification made its first public appearance. Built on the company’s E/E Architecture+ platform, the updated model features increased interior space, refined exterior design, and enhanced Jinba-ittai driving dynamics. The CX-5 has recorded over 4.5 million units sold globally in more than 100 markets.

Under the exhibition theme “The Joy of Driving Fuels a Sustainable Tomorrow,” Mazda emphasized its strategy to merge carbon neutrality with the emotional aspects of driving. CEO Masahiro Moro said the company remains focused on advancing human-centric mobility and delivering new experiences in line with its “Radically Human” philosophy.
