Is this the Mazda CX-20? Mazda Vision-X Compact previews electrified CX-3 and Mazda 2 replacement

Mazda’s shrimp automobile vary is increasing outdated, with the Mazda 2 light automobile (2014) and CX-3 light SUV (2015) now a decade extinct.

With no hybrid or electrical vitality, these two are out-of-sorts with rivals cherish the Toyota Yaris, and so, after its Tidy Product offensive, Japanese label Mazda has shown off the Imaginative and prescient-X Compact thought at the 2025 Tokyo Mobility Blow their personal horns.

Crucial points of this thought are thin on the bottom, even though we assume it previews the invent course of the next era Mazda 2 and CX-3, presumably to be called the CX-20 and presumably being amalgamated into a single model in manufacturing guise.

Even when put next with the shrimp vehicles in Mazda’s vary, the Imaginative and prescient-X Compact is slight. At 3825mm long, 1795mm broad, 1570mm broad and driving on a 2515mm wheelbase, it’s 40cm shorter than CX-3 however very shut to the Suzuki Swift hatch in dimension.

Given the proximity between the CX-3 and CX-30 currently, Mazda would possibly per chance per chance well per chance make a resolution to shrink its entry-stage ‘CX-20’ SUV offering half a dimension down, however then this would per chance well additionally be an all-original model, or simply a invent spy.

Visually, the Imaginative and prescient-X Compact is linked to its peers with an illuminated entrance grille which hints at heavy electrification. The hatchback shape carries the total C-pillar frequent within the CX-30 and Mazda 3, as correctly.

Interior is the important thing departure for Mazda, with an ethereal feel and diverse intellectual colours bringing a nearly Fiat 500-cherish retro vibe; a visually-light ’P-R-N-D’ tools selector with spherical knob sits on the centre console.

There’s a big diameter, thin-rimmed steering wheel with correct a unique, circular digital dial in entrance of the driving force. The wheel aspects lunge shifters, doubtlessly for tools altering however additionally adjusting regenerative braking.

This thought is shown in left-hand drive, too, suggesting European micro automobile aspirations.

And it’s charge noting that there are no dominant touchscreens within the theorem that. As a replacement, the auto is pictured with a smartphone mounted on the trudge — Volkswagen Up!, anyone?

Mazda calls the Imaginative and prescient-X Compact the ‘procedure forward for neat mobility’, with onboard artificial intelligence intended to ‘deepen the bond between of us and vehicles by procedure of the fusion of a human sensory digital model and empathetic AI.’

As for the powertrain crucial points of a manufacturing version, it’s miles unclear for now.

Mazda would possibly per chance per chance well per chance leverage its abilities with the MX-30 shrimp SUV to offer a host of choices for its original light vehicles, including pure battery EV for Europe, sequence-parallel hybrids and in-home rotary vary extender.
