Sustaining interest?
More pics and information on Mazda's latest concept car, a futuristic cross-over SUV'Sustainability' is a new catch-cry for automotive manufacturers -- and they're hitching it to just about anything and everything.
The latest company to link 'sustain' (which we thought was a breakfast cereal) to a corporate trait is Mazda. Identifying its blanket strategy as 'Sustainable Zoom-Zoom', the company has released more details concerning the Kazamai concept car (more here) that will be revealed in Moscow at that city's motor show.
According to Mazda, the Kazamai is a near-future SUV which will be 30 per cent more economical than contemporary SUVs of similar dimensions and specification. If the CX-7 is the exemplar for contemporary SUVs, perhaps this is what you would call a mean achievement.
Named from the Japanese word for 'swirling crosswinds', the Kazamai is the latest in Mazda's Nagare ('flow') concept cars to be unveiled publicly and is powered by a 2.0-litre direct injection four-cylinder (DISI) engine, driving through a six-speed automatic transmission. Weight is kept to a minimum by use of aluminium in exterior panels, chassis and engine block.
Mazda is unveiling the Kazamai at the Moscow show as the embargo lifts on this information -- 3.00pm today, AEST.
