The unique thing in this model is the presence of Freestyle Doors, which is designed to make it easier for passengers to have wide access to enter and exit vehicles. With a two-tone pairing, this crossover features a sluggishness like a coup.

Luxury And Sustainable Interior

Mazda also embeds the theme of sustainability in this car using cork materials, which can directly help reduce carbon emissions in the process of permanenting its raw materials.

This cork layer is applied to enhance the beauty of the warranty while ensuring its durability for use in the car. The selection of snakehead material cannot be separated from Mazda's history, which was founded in 1920 as Toyo Cork Kogyo, which is the manufacturer's factory.

Then, Mazda also uses 20 percent recycled thread in the car seat which is claimed to be the highest ratio for use in the current automotive market.

In addition, Premium Vintage Leatherette ingredients are also presented that use high-quality vegan skin with a charming vintage pattern and use a silicon layer that offers a comfortable texture when touched.
