Styling

The Mazda Kazamai was number six in a series of concept cars with the Nagare flow design language. The design featured panel lines inspired by crosswinds in nature which evoke visual lightness. The car also had a bold five-point grille, accentuated front wheel arches and sleek roof line, which were combined with large 22-inch wheels. [1]

Technology

Thanks to its aerodynamic design, evolved lightweight body structure and use of aluminium, 2.0 L DISI direct injection engine and lightweight 6-speed automatic transmission, the Kazamai had a 30% better performance and fuel economy and CO2 emissions compared to the foregoing 2.0 L gasoline engine.
