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.

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.
