Mazda unveils Nagare prototype at LA Autoshow

Mazda is certainly making bold design the mainstay of its product line up, the most recent being the sensational CX-7. And we can expect even more exciting designs from the Hiroshima-based company if the Nagare is anything to go by.

Shown at the LA Autoshow, the Nagare follows Mazda concept cars like the Sassou, Senku and Kabura that have displayed both exciting design and innovative packaging solutions.

In the case of the Nagare, the idea is to look forward to the year 2020 and design an emotion inspiring high-speed sports car. Using wind-blown desert shapes and wave-like sea movements as inspiration, the design team at Mazda’s California studios have given the Nagare a bold and simple form, with interesting details. To keep its design as clean as possible, the Nagare has two huge doors that open upward, revealing its three-seater cabin – a central forward position for the driver, and two rear seats.

Beneath its sleek hood, the Nagare has a hydrogen-powered rotary Wankel engine.

MX-5 gets the Coupe-Cabriolet treatment
One would think that a lithe and weight-conscious roadster like the Mazda MX-5 would be the last candidate for a folding metal roof, but its happened! Thankfully, the fabric roof version is still available. Even with this concession to marketing demands, a spokesman for Mazda told oneshift.com that the roof is extremely light, and that it collapses within the wheelbase. It also does not eat into the MX-5's petite boot, and it is one of the fastest to collapse and come up. So the MX-5 RC - for Roadster-Coupe - is more than just a marketing exercise. The people that have driven it say that it feels tighter than the standard roadster.

Mazda sets the pace with its new CX-7 SUV
Better late than never, so the saying goes, and this is the case with Mazda and its first foray into the SUV segment in Singapore. Getting in later allowed Mazda to find out what people really wanted from their SUVs, and the conclusion is quite clear with the stylish CX-7. “No” to bulky, truck-like 4x4s, and “yes” to sleek, stylish SUVs, that are as fun to drive as sports cars. This very much sums up the CX-7 – it really looks good, and going by its reception at the car’s launch last Friday, it will be a hit in the marketplace as well. Under the bonnet there is a turbocharged 2.3-litre 4-cylinder engine that puts out an impressive 174kW and 350Nm of torque. The only transmission available is a 6-speed automatic and permanent all-wheel drive. Looking more like a raised 5-door coupé than an SUV, the CX-7 will definitely send all other 4x4s back to the drawing board. The CX-7 will be up against the new Honda CR-V and Nissan’s new Qashqai in the 5-seater SUV category at the upcoming Singapore Motorshow. Look out for Oneshift.com’s review of the show, and the opportunity to vote for your favourite new models - including the new Mazda CX-7.
