HIROSHIMA, Japan—Mazda Motor Corporation will host the world premiere of the Mazda KOERU crossover concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show, which opens on September 17 and runs through September 27, 2015.^*1

The Japanese word "KOERU" means to "exceed" or "go beyond," a fitting name for Mazda's new foray into the growing crossover SUV market, because the model aims to exceed existing category standards and stereotypes. As the latest embodiment of Mazda's KODO-Soul of Motion design theme, Mazda aimed to impart the KOERU with the power and vitality of a wild animal while maintaining a sense of refined dignity. The latest SKYACTIV technologies ensure the model provides outstanding environmental performance without compromising on Mazda's renowned driving pleasure.
