Mazda Hints at All-New SUV for Geneva Motor Show Debut

Mazda revealed its new platform when it unveiled its redesigned Mazda 3, and it seems like it is planning to use the architecture for an SUV. Instead of revamping of an existing model, Mazda is making room for an all-new SUV. 

Currently, Mazda has a limited number of SUVs in its lineup, including the mid-size CX-7 that was canceled after the 2012 model year. The other SUVs in its lineup are tiny CX-3, three-row CX-9, and compact CX-5.

It is yet unclear where the new SUV will fit. The automaker is reserved on details, saying only that the new SUV will be equipped with Mazda’s SkyActiv engines, including the SkyActiv-X engine which “adopts a unique combustion method to combine the free-revving performance of a gasoline engine with the superior response of a diesel.  “Mazda said in a statement.
