Likely to be called the Mazda CX-6, the Koeru concept has the same wheelbase as the current CX-5, at 2,700 mm, but the Koeru is longer, wider and sits lower to the ground than the CX-5. According to motoring.com.au, the Mazda Koeru could also be a preview of the next-generation CX-5.

The Koeru Concept sits on 21-inch wheels and features “premium level of refinement inside and out”. Mazda also said that the “enriched KODO shapes deliver outstanding aerodynamics and with it high-speed stability”. Inside, the Mazda Koeru features i-ACTIVSENSE and Mazda Connect, both of which will likely enter production.

True to the Jinba-ittai driving experience, the Koeru concept is said to have exceptional NVH technology that suppresses noise and vibration path. The result is a continually pursued responsive and exhilarating driving experience, according to Mazda.

Mazda has a history of putting its concept cars into production, like the Minari concept which turned into the Mazda CX5, Takeri concept which later became the Mazda 6 and the Hazumi which was later the Mazda 2. Perhaps this could evolve into another production vehicle.
