Mazda celebrates ten years of its Kodo Design language

Description

Introduced at the 2015 and 2017 Tokyo Motor Show respectively, they anticipated the new elegance and yet more pronounced minimalist aesthetic of recent interpretations of Kodo design. Dynamic and emotional forms are achieved by shaving off any unnecessary elements to bring out the very essence of beauty and motion. By eliminating character lines, for example, an empty space is created on the vehicle’s side panels that functions as a blank, endlessly changing canvas for the play of light and shadow – a “less is more” aesthetic that is strongly informed by Mazda’s Japanese heritage.

  • Mazda's next-generation KODO Design & SKYACTIV-X Technology

    Mazda's new SKYACTIV-X engine represents a significant step towards this goal. It is the world's first commercial gasoline engine to use compression ignition, in which the fuel-air mixture ignites spontaneously when compressed by the piston. The company's proprietary combustion method Spark-Controlled Compression Ignition (SPCCI) combines the spark ignition of a gasoline engine with the compression ignition of a diesel. This overcomes two issues that have, until now, impeded the commercialisation of compression ignition gasoline engines; maximizing the operating zone in which compression ignition is possible, and achieving a seamless transition between compression ignition and spark ignition.
