On the Mazda stand was the Takeri concept, which is expected to replace the firm’s Mazda6.
Also on display were the CX-5 crossover, which uses SKYACTIV design and engineering to improve efficiency, and a special edition version of the popular MX-5.
Parkers Pick – Mazda Takeri
- What is it? A concept car that hints at the replacement for the Mazda6.
- Vital stats and facts: Based on Mazda’s new SKYACTIV platform, the flash exterior hides an efficient diesel engine.
- Why would you buy it? It’s a stylish saloon with an efficient powertrain that should appeal to both fleet and private buyers looking for low costs and something a little different. See what sister title Car Magazine thought of the Takeri here.
- Why wouldn’t you? You might not fancy being all that ‘different’, and the SKYACTIV platform hasn’t been proven in the real world yet. Also, it’s not for sale.
- Prices and launch date: Not available at this time
