We recently featured Mazda’s new Shinari concept, which is the first embodiment of the new “KODO” design language for the company’s future models.
Mazda claims positive reactions from the media, industry and fans. Thus, they thought it would be a good idea to give the general public what the new design language featured on the concept car would look like on existing hatchback models like the Mazda2 and the Mazda3.
To do that, the company have released a video of just that. Not using standard 3D rendering, the video was created by projecting images and colours onto clay models. Like the Shinari concept, design of the car’s look very progressive and new, but don’t get your hopes up too much as this is barely a concept, just a preview of things to come. Enjoy the video above!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Miss the old design more…. ( big smilling face grille )
Change here change there, but still the same old look…XD
Same old look? You must be kidding.
Please improve the interior of your cars Mazda, as they look cheaper compared to some of their rivals especially M2. I say again: it is cheaper, doesn’t mean it is very cheap(for Mazda fans).
Same things happen to Proton and Perodua….
not same , if u compare the price !
my vios will kick mazda in da arse. Mazda for uncle. Uncle car for uncle. My vios is da fasters car in da world. Hahaha. Where is my crack now…neeed more drugz to get high…
R u kidding?? If mazda is for uncle, then vios is for aunty
He was being sarcastic, if you can’t tell…
bit like satria neo….lol
yup..i second that…it sure looks like neo…
There are problems with that video…Mazda really should double check the video fully before releasing it. The static flashes don’t look like they were done intentionally, more like a mistake during encoding.
Am I the only one who looks at the front area and is reminded of the Satria Neo?
Not really digging those tiny headlights.
Overall, I have to say, I preferred the smiley faces. But the smiley face doesn’t really work on the 3 currently, so it’ll be interesting to see how they design the Kodo 3.
On a side note, Paul, no comments on the Kiyori concept? Or did I miss the post? Looks like that are definitely worth commenting upon! :)
yep… the rendering of front is like Satria Neo…
a bit Cat’s look…
just a concept design
let the finish product to the talking
boring……the front is kinda similar with neo..i mean the small headlights…..
Nice design, Mazuda’s looks never fail to excite me, it is like the Alfa Romeo of Japan. By the way, the sales man told me the other day they are bringing in a Mazda 3 turbo with 230 hp, can anyone confirm that?
doesnt it the side profile looks like Volkswagen Scirocco?
ugly.. hate small front lamps..
love the design
hate the front-grill
Sounds like Kodok
next gen mazda is gonna look awesome!
zoom zoom to that.
oooo Kodok. No wonder look like frog
it gave me headache while watching tat video… ugly… n lame… not even a part tat look like a leopard…
It’s a cheetah by the way. I don’t get the whole video presentation. Gives me a headache too. And yeah, the cheetah part doesn’t even make sense. It’s like they’re trying to justify their design by imposing the leopard image on the design, and then viola! “we design our car based on this big cat”. IMO, the best cheetah picture to impose on the design is a sleeping one, in the zoo.
look like satria neo.Lol mazda
bhahahaha
Wahaha but different brands,different brains and different technology!!!Mazda(international) & Proton(?)!RM100K+ & RM60k- ROLF :D
