Mazda Puts on a Show in Tokyo

Mazda unveils two futuristic concepts at the Japan Mobility Show that blend rotary engines, hybrid technology, and artificial intelligence.

Mazda revealed two concept models at the Japan Mobility Show 2025: the Vision X-Coupe and the Vision X-Compact. These cars align with the exhibition theme: “The Joy of Driving Fuels a Sustainable Tomorrow” for 2035, focusing on technology and sustainable mobility.

Vision X-Coupe: Mazda’s Ode to the Rotary Engine

The Vision X-Coupe is a coupe crossover continuing the “KODO – Soul of Motion” design language. It combines a twin-rotor turbo rotary engine, a historical Mazda signature, with an electric motor and battery in a plug-in hybrid system. Together, they deliver 510 horsepower.

In electric mode, the range reaches 160 km. Combining the combustion and electric engines, it can go up to 800 km. The vehicle uses a carbon-neutral fuel derived from microalgae and the “Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture” technology to limit its environmental impact.

Vision X-Compact: AI at the Service of the Driver

The Vision X-Compact explores the interaction between humans and the car. It can converse with the driver, suggest destinations, and adapt to their habits. The goal is to create a more intuitive and user-focused driving experience.

These two concepts demonstrate Mazda’s future direction: rotary engines, hybrid solutions, and connected vehicles. No production schedule or pricing has been announced. Therefore, it is unknown if these cars will ever hit the road. Nonetheless, it is always interesting to see a manufacturer test new ideas and technologies through concepts.
