All-new Axela Sport '20S Touring L Package'
The company's theme for this year's Tokyo Motor Show is "Mazda defies convention to keep fun-to-drive alive." The theme expresses the company's desire to introduce people all around the world to the joy of driving that is unique to the Mazda brand. This goal is supported by four pillars; SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, opening up new possibilities in both environmental and driving performance; KODO design, which expresses a dynamic and powerful life force; Mazda's safety philosophy Mazda Proactive Safety; and a new-generation car connectivity system called Mazda Connect.
The Mazda3 is a core model in the Mazda line-up accounting for more than thirty percent of the company's global sales volume, and it is the third of Mazda's new generation vehicles to be completely redesigned. At the Tokyo Motor Show, the Mazda3 SKYACTIV-CNG Concept, which runs on compressed natural gas (CNG), will be exhibited for the first time alongside gasoline, hybrid, and diesel-engine models. Mazda is proposing the new Axela as a 'multi-solution.' Capable of using a diverse range of energy sources, every model still offers Mazda's trademark fun-to-drive experience. Furthermore, regardless of fuel-type, all models in the Mazda3 line-up feature SKYACTIV engines—a testament to the versatility of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY.
The new Mazda stand will also feature technology exhibits explaining Mazda's unique Human Machine Interface (HMI) and car connectivity system. Alongside new-generation models such as the Mazda CX-5 and Mazda6, the displays show Mazda's most recent technologies and hint at the direction of future models.

Summary of major exhibits
Mazda Axela
Featuring i-ACTIVSENSE advanced safety technologies and a new car connectivity system called Mazda Connect,
the Axela is the most recent Mazda model to be fully redesigned. With
the full suite of SKYACTIV technologies and KODO design, the all-new
Axela incorporates Mazda's latest technologies and trademark driving
pleasure. The company will offer the model with three different
powertrain options (gasoline, diesel and hybrid) making it the first
Japanese maker to do so in the Japanese market. At the Tokyo Motor Show,
with the addition of the CNG concept model, the new Axela is being
offered as "multi-solution" to the diverse needs of customers around the
world.- SKYACTIV-G 2.0/1.5-liter gasoline engine
The 2.0-liter engine is paired with a 4-2-1 exhaust system which contributes to the combustion efficiency of this high compression engine. Compared to the previous model with a 4-1 exhaust system (FWD Sport with automatic transmission under JC08 test mode) it offers more torque and approximately 9 percent improved fuel economy. The 1.5-liter gasoline engine model offers greatly increased torque and approximately 26 percent improved fuel economy (comparing FWD sedan with automatic transmission under JC08 test mode). - SKYACTIV-HYBRID
The hybrid models pairs an electric motor with a specially-designed 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine. It realizes both exhilarating driving performance and outstanding fuel economy performance of 30.8 km/L under JC08 test mode. - SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter diesel engine
The diesel engine model offers torque comparable to a 4.0-liter V8 gasoline engine while meeting Japan's Post-New Long-Term regulations without the need for expensive NOx aftertreatment systems. - Mazda3 SKYACTIV-CNG Concept (reference exhibit)
Demand for CNG-powered vehicles is increasing all over the world and the SKYACTIV-CNG Concept adopts a dual fuel system that runs on both gasoline and CNG. CNG engines must burn fuel at high pressure and because the SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine already achieves a high compression ratio it can easily be modified for CNG with only minor modifications. Vehicles with CNG engines reduce emissions by about 20 percent compared to those with gasoline engines of the same displacement. Mazda proposes the Mazda3 SKYACTIV-CNG Concept as a potential way to offer driving pleasure to even more customers around the world while reducing impact on the environment at the same time.

Mazda CX-5
This crossover SUV was the first of Mazda's new-generation products
incorporating both SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and KODO design. With its bold
and dynamic design, responsive driving performance, outstanding
environmental and safety performance, and packaging that ensures a
comfortable and enjoyable ride for all onboard, it is not surprising
that the CX-5 is winning awards in markets around the world. In addition
to being named Japan Car of the Year 2012-2013, the model was the
best-selling SUV in the country in 2012.
Mazda Atenza
Sporty and refined in both performance and looks, Mazda's flagship
also offers the highest level of safety and environmental performance.
From the i-ELOOP brake energy regeneration system to the i-ACTIVSENSE
advanced safety technologies, the Atenza offers the very best of Mazda's
engineering and craftsmanship.
Mazda Atenza ASV-5
The Atenza ASV-5 is equipped with futuristic safety systems. In a
world-first, one of these systems enables automobiles with an in-car
autonomous sensor to communicate with streetcars, helping to prevent
collisions and support a smooth and safe flow of traffic. Mazda's aim is
to support safe and smooth coordination between automobiles and
streetcars, in which there is renewed interest as an eco-friendly form
of public transportation. Mazda began trials on public roads using ITS in September 2013 and the system was demonstrated at the 20th ITS World Congress Tokyo 2013 held earlier in October.
