Mazda Kiyora Concept

The Mazda Kiyora is Mazda’s latest concept car and will be unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. The Kiyora concept is a lightweight urban compact car. The Kiyora name means “clean and pure” in Japanese and is meant to represent the “Sustainable Zoom Zoom” harmony between driving pleasure and environmentally friendly features.

The urban compact is equipped with a direct injection 4-cylinder engine and Mazda’s Smart Idle Stop System. Is this a Mazda-ized Ford Ka or something larger?

Look for two more photos of the concept after the jump.

    Darn…Mazda future design team must be a bunch of freakin ‘alien’. They keep fascinate me every single time they come out a concept. Man…any cars manufacture who’s got their hand on Mazda’s artist is one lucky company. Oh wait! One already did…TESLA! Congrats Mazda for all the job well done and congrats Tesla for managed to ‘kidnapping’ their head designer especially on his great job with the Furai.
