... Mazda was also totally silent on drivetrain or chassis plans, only revealing the MX-Crossport is 4630mm long, 1930mm wide and has a long 2795mm wheelbase.
However, as this car is being pitched as a direct competitor for the Nissan Murano in North America, a V6 engine makes sense. At the moment the only V6 Mazda has available to it is the Ford family 3.0-litre Duratec.
The underlying platform for the production car also appears to be a Ford family affair, with the plan being to mount it on an adaptation of the corporate C1 architecture.
C1 is already used by Mazda for the compact 3 model and the new 5, which is the small people-mover that replaced the Premacy. It also underpins the Ford Focus and Fusion and Volvo S and V40.
European reports say the platform is known as C1+ and will be used for future Volvo S60, V70 and S80, as well as the rumoured XC50 small SUV. Land Rover will use it for the Freelander.
Ford is developing two vehicles off C1+, five and seven-seat versions of a cross-over known internally as SAV, or Sport Activity Vehicle, as well as a radical replacement for the Galaxy people-mover.
Engines linked to the C1+ project include four and five-cylinder petrol units and a new generation turbo-diesel family.
Transmission choices are said to include five and six-speed manual, CVT and a new dual-clutch design. All-wheel drive will be optional.
