It is based on an all-new platform designed to minimise weight and maximise safety, powered by a next-generation four-cylinder direct-injection engine.

Joining the Kiyora concept in Paris will also be three world premieres from Mazda, with the new face lifted MX-5 and two new diesel variants added to the current range.

    Mazda cant seem put a foot wrong lately. Wish i could afford to update to a 3MPS, that thing is an absolute rocket & a blast to drive.

    Wonder if they’ve built an auto gearbox that can handle the MZR-CD yet.

    I believe with the new engine (2.2) it will have an auto gearbox. Rumoured to also be available in the CX-7, hope that is true.
