“We design Mazda MX-30 not only as an electric car but also as society’s partner in carrying out their daily activities. Adopting the Jinba-Ittai philosophy, which prioritizes unity between driver and vehicle, and KODO look with minimalist and elegant design, every detail of Mazda MX-30 is crafted thoroughly to make the journey feel more personal. When the vehicle is used more frequently, you can truly feel the uniqueness and comfortability, as if it becomes part of the driver,” stated Ricky Thio, COO of PT EMI.
