Mazda unveils Vision-X Compact: a round-shaped hatchback concept

At the Tokyo International Motor Show, Mazda showcased its innovative Vision-X Compact hatchback, distinguished by its round shape reminiscent of a ladybug. This subcompact car features large windows and a panoramic roof, providing ample natural light and excellent visibility. The front design expresses a distinctive character while the rear lights boast a unique configuration. The interior of the Mazda Vision-X Compact prioritizes simplicity and originality. It incorporates straightforward panel shapes, complemented by color-matched inserts, thereby blurring the lines between the exterior and interior design. This allows passengers to maintain connection with the outside environment. Equipped with two 10 cm round digital displays, one integrated into the steering wheel and another on the console behind it, the cabin provides essential real-time data. For navigation and additional functionalities, a smartphone can be conveniently docked in a designated holder. This concept also features an AI-driven onboard assistant capable of machine learning. With dimensions of 3.82m in length and 1.8m in width, the Mazda Vision-X Compact is considered a true urban microcar, hinting at possible future developments for the Mazda2 model.
