Mazda will reveal the Mazda Koeru, a new crossover SUV concept at the Frankfurt motor show next month (September 2015).

Koeru, Japanese for “exceed” or “go beyond,” will be a step into the coupe/crossover/SUV market. A few other brands have dipped their toes into this segment with the like of BMW X4 and Merc GLE Coupe being the most notable. The Koeru will likely be called a CX4 if it makes it to production. Mazda aims to target performance, efficiency and overall value with the Koeru.

Koeru uses Kodo

KODO – Soul of Motion design is continued, the Koeru concept we see here looks purposeful and aggressive, no doubt Mazda will tell us it has been styled on some predatory wildlife. In true Mazda style, it is punting fun-to-drive dynamics and SKYACTIV technology for better fuel efficiency.

The carmaker will also display its new-generation model line-up in Frankfurt. Highlights include an all-new Mazda MX-5 complete with accessories as well as several SKYACTIV powertrains.
