Its name “Nagare” translates into English as “flow” and the designers specifically studied motion and the effect it has on natural surroundings when creating this vehicle.

“The Nagare is a celebration of proportions and surface language that will evolve into subsequent designs planned for presentation at future international auto shows.

Nagare examines light and shadow, and begins to reveal the global design cues for the next generation of Mazda vehicles,” said Laurens.

Its bodylines flowed like liquid across its smooth seamless design and there were no distinguishing marks that detracted from the overall theme of the car.

The interior continued the Nagare's organic themes with futuristic elliptical controls and dials relating information to the driver.
