The Mazda Hakaze (マツダ・葉風, Matsuda Hakaze) was a concept car that was revealed in early February 2007 by Japanese manufacturer Mazda.[1] Its major design elements came from a new design language developed by Mazda called Nagare, designed by Laurens van den Acker, which also designed other Mazda concepts, and most notably the Renault Clio and Renault Captur. [2] This element has been used on past Mazda concept cars such as: Mazda Nagare; Mazda Ryuga; Mazda Kabura.
Niche
It was designed to have the looks of a coupe, the functionality of a Crossover SUV or CUV, while having the driving capabilities of a roadster.
Inside it had four bucket seats, making somewhat of a 2+2 format. There was a wrap-around center console. Everything inside could be adjusted to the driver's specific needs; once they were set the settings were stored in a Bluetooth card that the driver kept possession of. When the driver activated the car using the card, all of his/her personal preferences were automatically adjusted.
