Mazda Kiyora, a lightweight,
next generation, urban compact
concept car, will be revealed at
the 2008 Paris International
Motor Show.
Mazda Kiyora (meaning ‘clean and
pure’ in Japanese) represents
the harmony between driving
pleasure and environmental and
safety features in line with
Mazda’s long-term technology
development vision, “Sustainable
Zoom-Zoom”.
The concept of “Kiyora” helped
the designers to imagine a city
car cutting cleanly through an
urban landscape, with water as
the design theme. Equipped with
Mazda’s next generation 4
cylinder direct injection engine
and featuring the company’s
unique Smart Idle Stop System,
the car achieves excellent fuel
economy and low CO2
emissions. The improved
aerodynamic performance of
Nagare design also contributes
to these factors.
The new Mazda concept car is
based on an all-new platform
designed to maximise weight
reduction and a high level of
safety, in pursuit of enhanced
driving pleasure. It also
features an interior design and
new functions that support a
youthful lifestyle.
Joining the Mazda Kiyora concept
car on Mazda’s stand at the
Paris show, the Mazda MX-5
facelift will make its world
debut, together with the Mazda6
equipped with Mazda’s newly
developed MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo
diesel engine, and the Mazda2
powered by a MZ-CD 1.6‑litre
diesel.
