Mazda used the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show as an opportunity to show the Koeru Concept, an SUV that might offer us an insight into the manufacturer’s upcoming vehicles. The Koeru –which means ‘’To Go Further’’ in Japanese– sports all of Mazda’s current design cues. At first glance, it looks like a larger CX-3; both its front end and its back are eerily similar to the subcompact SUV.

While Mazda hasn’t confirmed it, this vehicle could be a prototype of the next CX-9. There are very few details available right now, but we know this concept features the latest Skyactiv technologies, which maximize engine power and reduce fuel consumption.

Since this is a Mazda, it will no doubt have impressive driving characteristics and be a blast to drive.
