Overview
- Mazda’s Vision X-Coupe debuts with a twin-rotor turbo rotary plug-in hybrid rated at 510 PS, claiming up to 160 km of electric-only range and about 800 km total.
- The company says the X-Coupe can run on microalgae-derived carbon‑neutral fuel and features ‘Mazda Mobile Carbon Capture,’ which it claims reduces atmospheric CO2 as the car is driven.
- The four-door fastback measures roughly 5,050 mm in length and features a minimalist cabin with analog-style gauges alongside a wide display and a sequential-style shifter hint.
- The sub‑4‑meter Vision X-Compact emphasizes an ‘empathetic’ AI that holds natural conversations and suggests destinations, paired with a pared-back interior that uses a phone in place of an infotainment screen.
- Mazda has not committed to producing either concept, and a company representative said X-Compact production would be considered based on public reaction, as journalists note past rotary concepts have not reached showrooms and question the scalability of algae fuel and on‑car carbon capture.
