Mazda Kazamai to be unveiled in Russia

Another of Mazda’s `Nagare’ design language concepts will be unveiled at Moscow International Automobile Salon (MIAS) on August 26.

The compact crossover Kazamai — which means `swirling crosswinds’ in Japanese – follows show cars like the original Nagare, Taiki and Furai in lines and planes inspired by nature.

The Kazamai melds Nagare’s ‘flow’ design cues with aerodynamic proportions.

“The design features panel lines inspired by crosswinds in nature which evoke visual lightness,” Mazda says.

“Its bold five-point grille, accentuated front wheel arches and sleek roof line, combined with large 22-inch wheels, lend it high emotional appeal.”

Kazamai’s lightweight body will carry a four-wheel drive powertrain consisting of a next-generation direct injection engine and a newly developed transmission.
