The Mazda Hakaze (マツダ・葉風, Matsuda Hakaze) is a concept car that was revealed in early February 2007 by Japanese manufacturer Mazda.[1] Its major design elements come from a new design language developed by Mazda called Nagare, designed by Laurens van den Acker, which also designed other Mazda concepts, and most notably the Renault Clio and Renault Captur. [2] This element has been used on past Mazda concept cars such as: Mazda Nagare; Mazda Ryuga; Mazda Kabura.
Niche
[edit]It was designed to have the looks of a coupe, the functionality of a Crossover SUV or CUV, while having the driving capabilities of a roadster.
Features
[edit]The car has no door handles, cameras in place of mirrors, lighting effects, scissor doors, and a partially removable roof.[3]
Interior
[edit]Inside it has four bucket seats, making somewhat of a 2+2 format. There is a wrap-around center console. Everything inside can be adjusted to the driver's specific needs; once they are set the settings are stored in a Bluetooth card that the driver keeps possession of. When the driver activates the car using the card, all his/her personal preferences are automatically adjusted.
