Mazda is ready to peel back the covers of two new concepts at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show.

The first concept, Mazda says, is a compact hatchback previewing the next generation of a production model. Underpinned by an all-new platform and Mazda’s new SkyActiv-X gasoline engine, the teaser image strongly suggests we’re looking at the next-generation Mazda3.

Mazda’s second, Tokyo-bound concept supposedly heralds the evolution of the company’s Kodo design language.

Mazda’s second, Tokyo-bound concept is a bit more pie-in-the-sky. Not much else is known about it, other than Mazda billing it as a “design vision model” and promising it “will define the next generation of Mazda design” – essentially an evolution of the company’s Kodo design language.

Along with the two concepts, Mazda’s Japan-only CX-8 – a sleeker, if not less practical variant of the CX-9 – plus a special edition MX-5 Miata will debut at the Tokyo Motor Show on Oct. 27.
