Vehicle Outline
Exterior design
• Fun-to-drive with instinctively attractive styling
— A two-fold type soft top has been adopted for improved ease of opening/closing.
Interior design
• A comfortable interior and sporty design incorporating Mazda’s inherited DNA
— A simple, clean-cut dashboard with a spacious feel has been adopted.
— A center panel that integrates module audio and air conditioning controls has been adopted.
— An instrument cluster with an emphasized sportiness has been adopted.
— Illumination that is both easily visible and comfortable for the eye has been adopted.
Engine
• Engine block
— Variable valve timing that optimally adjusts valve timing in accordance with driving conditions has been
adopted.
— An aluminum-alloy cylinder head and cylinder block have been adopted.
— Lightweight pistons, low-tension piston rings, and shimless tappets have been adopted to minimize friction
losses, thereby contributing to improved fuel economy.
— An auto-tensioner that automatically adjusts the belt to compensate for stretching has been adopted to
minimize maintenance requirements.
• Intake, exhaust, control
— Weight reduction has been achieved due to a hard-plastic dynamic chamber.
— High torque is obtained from the lower-middle to the high engine speed ranges due to the adoption of the
variable intake air system.
— Maximum torque is achieved at all engine speeds due to the adoption of a variable valve timing system that
controls intake valve timing in accordance with driving conditions to attain highly efficient air charging.
— An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has been adopted for all models resulting in cleaner exhaust
emissions and reduced fuel consumption.
