Although times may change, what has kept Mazda widely popular across many countries around the world is its unwavering commitment to preserving the core DNA of the brand in every vehicle, regardless of the power source. Mazda continues to uphold its 5 Common Values, which guide the development of every Mazda vehicle. These are:

• Artful Design
  Design that is as creative and refined as a piece of art – Car As Art. Expressed through the KODO: Soul of Motion design philosophy, Mazda captures the spirit of movement, resulting in a form that is strikingly beautiful inside and out. Mazda’s signature exterior colors are crafted using the “Takuminuri” technique, which represents master craftsmanship in painting—producing finishes as if painted by hand.
• Japanese Mastery
  Meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship rooted in Japanese tradition. Every Mazda is infused with refined quality and uniquely Japanese charm, especially in the interior—where carefully selected materials and stitching are designed with the precision of traditional Japanese artisans, reflecting true Japanese aesthetics.
• Human-Centricity
  A human-first design approach that prioritizes ergonomics and intuitive usability. Everything from the driver’s position to the arrangement of interior features is designed around the human body. Even the seat structure is engineered to maintain the spine’s natural “S” curve and upright pelvis positioning—helping reduce fatigue and enhance comfort on every drive.
• Effortless Joyful Driving
  Delivering a driving experience that’s fun, intuitive, and confidence-inspiring. Equipped with the advanced GVC Plus (G-Vectoring Control Plus) system for precise and balanced performance—especially around corners or in emergency maneuvers. i-Activsense safety technologies enhance driver awareness and help prevent unexpected incidents, while Mazda’s Skyactiv body structure is built to minimize injury in the event of an accident.
• Ingenious Solution
  Mazda’s advanced engineering and smart innovations, such as the SKYACTIV-G engine and SKYACTIV-DRIVE automatic transmission, combine the best features of all transmission types. They deliver smooth gear shifts, responsive acceleration, and exceptional fuel efficiency across all speed ranges.

The New Mazda CX-30 Essential, the premium crossover SUV is uniquely styled under the KODO Design – Soul of Motion philosophy, and embraces the “Less is More” concept, highlighting elegant simplicity. This design direction reaffirms Mazda’s commitment to elevating automotive craftsmanship to the next level.
