Overview
- The Vision X-Coupe pairs a twin‑rotor turbo rotary engine with a plug‑in hybrid system for about 503–510 hp, up to 160 km of electric range and roughly 800 km combined range, according to Mazda.
- Mazda claims the X-Coupe can run on microalgae‑derived carbon‑neutral fuel and uses a Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture device that reduces atmospheric CO2 as the car is driven.
- Coverage notes practical limits to the sustainability claims, citing Mazda’s own example of roughly one liter of fuel produced from an 11,000‑liter algae tank over two weeks and the unproven scalability of on‑vehicle CO2 capture.
- The Vision X-Compact is a small hatch concept that showcases a “human sensory” model with empathetic generative AI designed for natural conversation and proactive destination suggestions; no powertrain details were provided.
- Both vehicles are design and technology studies without announced production plans, and Mazda also displayed the new European‑spec CX‑5, highlighting near‑term product focus alongside longer‑term concepts.
