KODO Design

Designed to turn heads

Our new KODO “Soul of Motion” design language abounds with graceful, yet energetic, lines. Like the effects of wind or the flow or water, KODO is a unique expression of power and beauty seen in instantaneous motion at the very moment motion begins. It’s a cheetah pouncing on its prey. It’s the moment a sword strikes in the ancient Japanese art of kendo. It’s instantaneous power, speed, dignified tension and sophisticated beauty. And it’s highly seductive.

KODO
KODO “Soul of Motion” design intricately blends dynamism and emotional appeal, evoking an intelligent, dignified and spirited poise.

Performance
The MAZDA6-exclusive alloy wheels look better, wear better and – most of all – handle better, with less vibration and greater resistance to twisting forces. Like the technology above them, they perform.

Soul Red
No shade of red was good enough. So we engineered a new one with an elaborate three-step painting process. The result is a red so deep, yet so vibrant, it could only be called Soul Red.

Ultimate athletic space
KODO interior design creates “ultimate athletic space,” focusing on linking ergonomics with basic mechanical functions.

HMI
The new Human-Machine Interface (HMI) cockpit design has optimum space and easy access to technology tools that enable the driver to focus on the task of driving.

Controlled intuitively
Thanks to the available HMI Commander Switch, audio, navigation and Bluetooth® can be controlled intuitively and smoothly using rotary, push and tilt operations.

Aesthetics & acoustics
The available leather-trimmed upholstery on the MAZDA6 is so meticulously crafted that its perforated holes are spaced flawlessly to enhance not only the cabin’s aesthetics, but its acoustics as well.

Ride in first class
With KODO design, even passengers ride in “first class.” With generous legroom and scalloped seats, passengers receive the “chauffeur” treatment.

World’s first bioplastics
In collaboration with industry-academia-government, Mazda has developed the world’s first bioplastic that can successfully be employed in car production. Bioplastics are carbon-neutral and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, thus producing less CO2.

Three-Layer Wet Paint System
Mazda has developed the unique Three-Layer Wet Paint System, the first technology in the world to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) and CO2 emissions simultaneously.
