At the recent Geneva Auto Show, which ran March 8-18, many automakers unveiled their latest plans for new and revamped models, concept cars, and vehicle technology for the coming years. Mazda was no different, displaying a new design trim on two popular models; the Mazda CX-5 and Mazda6, both fitted to the styling of Takeri.

Utilizing its KODO design language that aims to capture the "Soul of Motion," the Mazda CX-5 has a new lightweight construction seen on other Mazda concepts. The 2013 CX-5 allows for a wide array of seating arrangements with its 4:2:4 three-way folding seats, as well as an innate infotainment system. With the interactive dashboard, drivers will be able to receive traffic updates and road condition reports on the go, along with the ability to play your favorite music too.

The Takeri design on the new Mazda CX-5 will also be available on Mazda6 models in 2013. The new trim features the unique i-ELOOP regenerative breaking system to help drivers in the Avondale area and beyond maximize their efficiency. Equipped with either the SKYACTIV-D 2.2.-liter clean diesel and four-cylinder SKYACTIV-G gas engine, the technology assists new Mazda  models on fuel economy without bringing down superior, refined performance. Both the CX-5 and Mazda6 offer SKYACTIV-Drive and -MT automatic and manual six-speed transmissions and an all-wheel drive variant as well.

The hope is to see Takeri styling integrated in to future cars, to bring a posh, luxury feel to Mazda and embody the "Soul of Motion."
