Continuing its world tour, the next stop for Mazda’s Takeri Concept car that foretells the future for the next iteration of the Mazda6 is the United States and the 2012 New York Auto Show, where the sedan model will make its first appearance on North American soil.
The Takeri made its world debut at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Salon last December before Mazda took it over to Europe earlier this month at the 2012 Geneva Salon.
The mid-size model’s sharp styling and athletic lines that embrace the company’s new ‘KODO’ design language will heavily inspire the next Mazda6, which is expected to arrive in the market sometime next year.
It is also believed that the Takeri’s new SKYACTIV-D 2.2-liter diesel engine that features an i-stop idling stop system and i-ELOOP, which is the world’s first capacitor-based regenerative braking system that improves fuel economy by as much as 10 percent, will find its way under the hood of the next Mazda6, not only in Europe, but Japan and North America as well.
