We know that Mazda, as one of the few brands with the spirit of "craftsman", can still maintain its original intention of building cars in this increasingly impetuous era. When the market is playing with small displacement supercharging explosive power, Mazda delvies into the limits of naturally aspirated engines, bringing users the ultimate smooth power output and intelligent power response. When the market began to play the big screen and voice, Mazda went against the grain and used a "small screen" to create a fresh, fast and agile interactive experience. It is precisely because of Mazda's persistence that it has gained the love of many "horse fans".
