- Mazda will unveil a new four-door Vision concept at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show this month.
- The design features frameless windows and a low roofline, possibly hinting at future styling cues.
- Mazda’s Tokyo display will also include carbon-neutral fuel technology demonstrations.
Mazda has dropped a fresh teaser ahead of the Japan Mobility Show 2025: an all-new Vision concept that looks sleek, shadowy and just a tad bit confusing.
Unlike the swoopy sports coupes we’ve come to expect from the “Vision” badge, this one’s rocking four doors, frameless windows and a roofline low enough to make a sedan blush.
A design study in shadows
The teaser shot gives us a strong side profile: smooth panels, sculpted shoulders and what appear to be camera-based mirrors instead of traditional glass. The overall shape appears to evoke fastback meets mystery box. It could be a sporty sedan or an SUV-style coupe, but Mazda’s not saying just yet. “The vision for future Mazda vehicles,” is the official line, hinting this concept doubles as both design muse and tech testbed.
It does not, however, appear to be a follow-up to last year’s Iconic SP Concept. That rotary hybrid sports car is already en route to production. This Vision model seems to represent something else entirely - perhaps Mazda’s broader future design language, with more emphasis on sustainability and driving enjoyment.
Joy of motion, meet carbon neutral
Mazda’s theme for this year’s Tokyo show is “The joy of driving fuels a sustainable tomorrow.”
Translation: the brand’s looking to keep its human-centred driving feel alive, even as it experiments with cleaner propulsion. That could mean electric, hybrid or even combustion engines running on unconventional fuels. Mazda has not disclosed the Vision’s powertrain just yet.
The company will also spotlight new emissions innovations, including proprietary CO₂ capture systems and an algae-derived carbon-neutral fuel it’s co-developing. Expect those technologies to appear in production models later in the decade.
More than just a concept

Sharing the stand will be the European-spec Mazda CX-5, making its first public outing. Mazda’s booth will also feature the CX-30 SeDV for drivers with disabilities, the classic RX-7, the Spirit Racing RS Future Concept, and the CX-60 and CX-80 SUVs.
Whatever the Vision turns out to be, Mazda’s clearly not phoning in its Tokyo presence this year. All will be revealed on October 29, when the covers come off during the brand’s press conference.
