- Crossover concept offers sporty yet refined styling and driving performance -

Hiroshima, Japan: Mazda Motor Corporation will host the world premiere of the Mazda KOERU crossover concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which opens on September 17 and runs through September 27, 2015.\*1

The Japanese word "KOERU" means to "exceed" or "go beyond," a fitting name for Mazda's new foray into the growing crossover SUV market, because the model aims to exceed existing category standards and stereotypes.

As the latest embodiment of Mazda's 'KODO - Soul of Motion' design theme, Mazda aimed to impart the KOERU with the power and vitality of a wild animal while maintaining a sense of refined dignity.

The latest SKYACTIV Technologies ensure the model provides outstanding environmental performance without compromising on Mazda's renowned driving pleasure.

To increase awareness of the Mazda brand, the automaker will display its full line-up of new-generation models featuring SKYACTIV Technologies and 'KODO - Soul of Motion' design at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
