The MINAGI translates emotional KODO design, which is said to communicate pent up energy bursting with vitality as the vehicle nimbly navigates a sprawling urban cityscape.

Furthermore, the MINAGI is equipped with a SKYACTIV engine and SKYACTIV transmission fitted to a SKYACTIV body and chassis. These innovations illustrate Mazda's commitment to delivering outstanding driving dynamics as well as major safety and efficiency attributes across its entire lineup by 2015.

In essence, the manufacturer will showcase various engine models featuring direct injection and clean diesel technology along with advanced manual and automatic transmissions.

The SHINARI Concept will also be on display in Geneva, not to mention the fleet of existing Mazda products.
