The Harmony of Two Elements

Offering the comfort level equal to that of super premium MPVs with its exceptionally quiet cabin, the Mazda8 allows its passengers peaceful sleeps during long-distance travels.


Carmall.com - A perceived dream car is subjective to each individual. Some may even be willing to pay extravagant amounts of money for a car because of all the state-of-the-art features it carries - all in the name of experiencing the best ride. On the other hand, there are those who weigh it differently, emphasising on affordability regardless of features.

For either, the Mazda8 is a car worth considering. Moreover with its Rp.499 milion price tag, it's an affordable vehicle for the middle segment of car consumers.

The Mazda8 stands quite glorious regarding its features and equipments, including a sunroof, eight-way electric driver seat, leather-wrapped seat, rear parking camera, sliding door with jam-safe mechanism, dual front airbags, GPS navigation that is integrated to the head unit on the dashboard, and many more.

Game on! A challenger for even the highest echelon of the MPV market

The aforementioned are features you would normally find on premium MPVs such as the Toyota Alphard and the Nissan Elgrand. In Indonesia, these premium MPVs fall in a price range of Rp.650 million to over Rp.1 billion. Hence the Mazda8 at its offering price is certainly a bang for buck.

Exterior

A car just wouldn't be a Mazda if it doesn't come sporty, as seemingly the entire range of Mazda's current line-up, whether sedan, hatchback or SUV, come some sort of rakish with their design. The Mazda8 you see here is no exception.

From the side, the curves on its fenders right to the corners of the front bumper provide a sturdy impression, while luxury is exuded by the application of chrome frame on the Mazda8's number plate, as well as chrome accents on the front grille.

Furthermore, sideview mirrors with turn indicator lights, Xenon HID headlights, LED stop lamps, as well as a roof spoiler are aesthetic enhancers on this MPV's exterior, which is offered in three choices of paintjob.

More relevantly, the Mazda8's floor height has been designed with passenger convenience in mind, with only a single step needed to position yourself inside the cabin.

Interior

Upon entering the cabin, you'll find yourself being spoiled by ergonomic, captain seat-style, second row seats that come with arm rests, head rest and an alley between the second row seats to provide passengers access to third row seats without the need to do any seat-foldings.
