Some time ago, Mazda introduced the latest generation of its flagship SUV, the CX-5, to fill the gap between CX-3 and CX-9.
Only, Mazda CX-5 has a weakness, which is only able to accommodate 5 passengers only. In fact, Mazda does not offer CX-9 sit 3 rows in Japan.
To
get around this, as reported by LiveDoor, Mazda will introduce a newest
SUV named CX-8 with 7 seats in the State of Sakura Flowers.
Dimensionally, Mazda CX-8 has dimensions smaller than the CX-9, so it is expected to be a tough opponent for the Honda CR-V.

liter engine and 2.5 liter 4 cylinder for gasoline engine. And a 2.2 liter volume for diesel-engined.
Ford Motor Co. applied for patents for headlamps and other additional lights that are quite unique and interesting. This patent is named "vehicle lighting system with dynamic beam pattern".
This system will use a
series of lights and a small mirror to project pixels. As a result, the main light can emit certain symbols and shapes on the asphalt.
Further explained, this patent consists of several applications. For example he showed how the lights can help the driver park the car.
By
pressing a button on a key phob, the system will project an arrow
pointing to the ground, so the rider can clearly see the length of the
car. Of course this is very useful when you want to park in parallel.
The lamp can also project light to the rear of the car. It shows the driver how much space he has before, for example, hit the wall.
For this is actually more effective if using the rear camera. But the advantage is that it is cheaper.
Ford is not actually the first manufacturer to innovate on lights. Suzuki for example, recently also registered a unique lamp patent for motorcycles.
Based
on the explanation on the morebikes.co.uk page, it is known that this
is simply a system that allows the direction of LED lights (which amount
to four) to adjust to various conditions.
