■ Scheduled for launch in Europe in fall 2013.
Exterior design
An uncompromisingly alluring KODO look for an uncompromisin¬gly competitive market segment, evolving the boldness of Mazda’s new-generation design theme to the brimming vitality of its sporty compact hatchback and sedan variants.
■ Features the lower, wider KODO stance and rear-leaning cabin with boldly flared fenders and a raked profile rising towards the rear.
■ Longer wheelbase with smaller front and rear overhangs hints at perfor¬mance, also improving road stability and safety while creating more space for the engine as well as occupants.
■ Advanced craftsmanship for a new level of build quality with e.g. the minimum gaps possible between body panels and doors that open in a surprisingly natu¬ral motion.
■ The KODO face with its contoured sig¬nature wing grille flows into the solid, powerful character lines along the side of the body in an expression of energetic tension.
■ Sleek new headlamps project the “glaring” presence of a predator with a cleanly-structured lighting signature featuring a light-guiding ring, LEDs and inner lenses.
■ Nine body colours including Soul Red Metallic and two all-new tones: Titani¬um Flash and Deep Crystal Blue, respectively inspired by emotion, sophistication and speed.
■ Available with 16- and 18-inch wheels.
