Mazda Unveils Next-Generation 3, the Kai Concept
Smooth, inside and out.
Mazda‘s latest four-door hatchback concept was recently unveiled in Tokyo, Japan. Titled “The Kai Concept,” the Japanese car manufacturer opts for a smoother exterior on this next-generation 3 vehicle, as part of its KODO design language, compared to the sharper lines of its current 2018 model.
More precisely, the hatchback boasts super-thin side mirrors, a narrow rear window, an elongated hood with an aggressive Mazda grille and burly fenders for a muscular look. For the interior, Mazda applied more curvature to the dashboard and a sleeker separation between top and bottom portions. Not to mention, the company outfitted the concept with revamped seating that comfortably snugs the spine.
The Kai Concept also offers a smooth and quiet ride on the road which is largely due to the multi-directional ring structures of the frame alongside optimized energy transfers in the chassis. Another key feature is the car’s SKYACTIV-X diesel-style gasoline engine that improves torque output, acceleration response, and fuel efficiency, as per Auto Blog.
Mazda has yet to reveal whether or not The Kai Concept will undergo production. Let us know your thoughts on the concept and head over to Mazda’s official website to learn more.
