马自达宣布将在下月开幕的日内瓦车展发布Hazumi概念车,最近车厂发布了该车趣图,马自达希望借助这款概念车来向公众展示下一代马自达2的设计风格。“Hazumi”在日语中是“迅速成长”或“跳跃”的意思,这辆概念车向人们展示了下一代马自达2的设计雏形,而马自达2量产版预计将于今年晚些时候发布。从趣图看,这款概念车的很多设计元素都取自马自达3和马自达6,但它的车身尺寸更紧凑。至于量产版马自达2,它的目标客户群主要是女性消费者,目前可以确认的是,该车将采用缩短后的CX-5平台。预计新车的车身尺寸将比老款车有所增加,同时还将衍生出跨界车版本。马自达还将在日内瓦车展发布新开发的SKYACTIV-D 1.5清洁柴油引擎,预计该引擎也将搭载在马自达2以及该品牌其他小型或紧凑型车上。
Mazda Hazumi concept teased ahead of Geneva debut, previews next-gen Mazda2
Mazda has announced plans through this teaser photo to preview the next-gen Mazda2 by showing the Hazumi concept at next month's Geneva Motor Show.
"Hazumi" means "spring up" or "bound" in Japanese and the concept will provide a first glimpse at Mazda's upcoming subcompact model which will probably be shown later this year. Judging by this teaser photo, we notice Mazda has taken styling cues from the Mazda3 and Mazda6 but on a smaller scale to fit the small dimensions of the concept.
As far as the production version, the Mazda2 will target a female audience and it is believed the vehicle will ride on a shortened variant of the CX-5's platform. Expect the car to grow in size compared to the outgoing model and chances are it will spawn a crossover variant.
Also in Geneva next month the audience will get to see Mazda's newly developed SKYACTIV-D 1.5 clean diesel engine which will likely find its way under the hood of the Mazda2 as well as other small and compact models from the Japanese marque.
