The cabin has an 8.8-inch Mazda Connect display as standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A separate 7-inch touchscreen handles climate controls for the automatic air conditioning. Adaptive cruise control with stop and go, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist and a reversing camera come as standard. Parking sensors are rear on base grades and front plus rear on higher ones. The layout feels driver-focused with a head-up display available.
Boot space measures 366 litres with seats up including underfloor storage, dropping slightly with Bose audio. Folding the 60/40 rear seats opens it to 1171 litres. The space is square and useful for daily loads though the freestyle doors limit rear access.

Materials include recycled PET fibres, vegan leatherette and cloth mixes. Dual-zone climate control is standard. higher grades add power driver seat with lumbar and memory plus heated fronts and wheel. Noise-isolating windshield and IR/UV glass cut heat and sound.

Power comes from a pure electric motor on 35.5 kWh pack or mild-hybrid petrol setups. R-EV adds a small rotary generator. Energy use sits around 17-19 kWh/100 km on EV versions. Range is short-haul focused on the battery-only model.
Servicing is simple on EV models with checks for coolant, brakes, 12 V battery, tyres and cabin filter. Intervals run yearly or every 10-16 thousand km. Brake fluid and coolant last longer than on petrol cars. Hybrid versions need oil changes.
Five-star Euro NCAP result covers the whole range including later R-EV. Structure stays stable in offset and side tests with full points on pole impact. Centre airbag stops occupant clash. Standard kit includes smart brake support, blind-spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, lane keep, driver attention alert, traffic sign recognition and radar cruise with stop-go.
Keep the car with regular tyre rotation and filter swaps. Battery warranty runs longer than the base three-year cover. Freestyle doors and cork trim need normal care. no complex fluids on pure EV versions beyond coolant and brakes.
