Mazda Hakaze

We're no strangers to Mazda concept cars, given that the company has unveiled one at every major motorshow going for the past few years. Geneva is no different, with the latest creation named the Hakaze, another variation on the word 'flow' in Japanese.

Unlike the past few slinky sportscar concepts, the Hakaze takes the form of a sporty SUV, though its design language is very obviously from the same school as the Ryuga and Nagare show cars. In our eyes, it is the least successful interpretation of this design theory, though of course we'll reserve final judgement until we see the car in Geneva in a couple of weeks.

Like many Mazda concepts, the Hakaze features unusual doors and a futuristic interior. We're unlikely to see anything resembling this concept in the showrooms for some time yet.
