This is the Mazda Vision Study Model, the prototype that could anticipate the new MX-5. It is a concept that the company has presented taking advantage of the presentation of its future strategy. And although it seems to anticipate the new Mazda MX-5, the brand has made it clear that they want 40% of their sales in 2030 to be electric cars. Will the new Mazda MX-5 be an electric car?
The answer currently is a resounding no. At the moment, with the information we have, everything indicates that the new generation of the MX-5 will maintain the combustion engine. But this prototype has confused us by its focus clearly on the electrical world. It has an apparently blind grill. In addition, it mounts cameras instead of mirrors, a solution that seeks to improve aerodynamics, a vital section in electric cars.
Analyzing its aesthetics, we find a car with a two-door coupe body very close to the ground. If we take a look at its proportions they seem similar to those of an MX-5. In the same presentation that Mazda has made about its strategy, this concept appeared after the four generations of the roadster, understanding that it is the successor. So will it or will it not be electric?
It is still early to guess. Being a concept, it could simply advance its aesthetics, but then have an internal combustion engine and the characteristic features of this type of car. The Miata is a very special car for the brand, and its legacy should serve to make the brand think things through before taking a false step. It is the best-selling roadster in history, and a car that remains faithful to its philosophy, the same since the eighties.
