Geneva Motor Show: Hazumi concept previews new Mazda2
The carmaker says the Japanese word “Hazumi” means to “bound” or “spring up” and ‘was chosen to convey an image of a small but vigorous animal, bursting with energy’.
The concept brings together the carmaker’s key focus areas of its KODO — Soul of Motion design, SKYACTIV technology, Mazda Proactive Safety, and a new in-car connectivity system called MZD Connect.
The concept also sees the debut of a newly developed 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-D clean diesel engine ‘which promises outstanding fuel economy without compromising powerful, linear performance’.
