Mazda Takeri Concept


The newest adaptation of Mazda’s new “KODO – Soul of Motion” design theme, the TAKERI concept brings a new level of strength and allure to sedan styling. The TAKERI offers a taste of the future direction of Mazda’s next-generation CD sedan, having inherited the vision of the Mazda SHINARI, an exciting four-door sports coupe concept showcased last year in Geneva. Under this captivating exterior, the TAKERI features Mazda’s highly-efficient new SKYACTIV-D diesel engine with i-stop idle-stop system and six-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission.
The TAKERI concept, which is a preview of the next-generation Mazda6, is the first car to be equipped with i-ELOOP. Short for “Intelligent Energy Loop”, Mazda’s first regenerative braking system uses a unique solution that converts kinetic energy to electricity during deceleration and stores it in an electric double layer capacitor. The power is used to run the vehicle’s electric components, thereby reducing the engine load and increasing fuel economy by up to 10%. This contributes to the Mazda TAKERI’s outstanding fuel economy, which is achieved at no sacrifice to performance or comfort.

I see Derek Jenkins' hand in that design. He came to Mazda to head up the NA design studio about 3 years ago from VW/Audi. Here is some of his previous work:

Hmm, I kinda like how it seems to have a long front end but also looks like it'd have tons of trunk space. All the while it seems like there would actually be room to comfortably seat four adults. This is one of the first new (concept) cars on which I actually really like the body lines. The only thing I'd change would be to bring the bottom of the grille up a few inches to compliment the headlights better.

I think the grill is more "new' mazda, but I really like the angry looking headlights.
