Mazda Kiyora (meaning ‘clean and pure’ in Japanese) represents the harmony between driving pleasure
and environmental and safety features aspired to in Mazda’s long-term technology development vision, “Sustainable Zoom-Zoom.”

The improved aerodynamic performance of Nagare design also contributes to this.
