Mazda previews Mazda6 20th Anniversary edition at its new Pasig dealership

Mazda is constantly driven by its Kodo design concept in everything it does. Kodo design means “breathing life into the car.” That is why from its wide array of cars, all the way to those purchasing them, the Japanese carmaker single-mindedly strives to bring life.

Recently, Bermaz Auto Philippines, Inc., together with CATS Group of Companies, and Inchcape, opened the newest Mazda dealership along C-5 Road in Pasig City. It is the first-ever dealership to showcase the carmaker’s all-new Japanese Premium showroom concept, featuring an openscheme floor plan further enhanced by natural elements. In short, it uses light from the sun, shadows, contours and shapes, among others, to liven up the interior aesthetic beauty to better the customer’s experience while inside the facility.

Covering a 2,343sq-m area, the dealership features a six-car display showroom and six service bays for services and general repairs.

Special limited Mazda 6 20th Anniversary Edition

To further bring life to the launch event, the special limited Mazda 6 20th Anniversary Edition was also previewed to the company’s stakeholders, bank partners and the media.

During the affair, Mazda Philippines head honcho, Steven Tan, said: “Since its introduction in the Philippines, the Mazda6 has captivated driving enthusiasts with its blend of style and dynamics.”

“Up to now, it retains a loyal following, and the 20th Anniversary Edition is a special nod to those customers who share our passion for driving,” he added.

For two decades, the Mazda6 midsize sedan has constantly evolved, now embodying the Kodo design it prides itself with. To commemorate this, a special edition Mazda6 was built to further enhance this design concept.

It dons special badging on each front fender, a high-gloss front grille and high-gloss silver 19-inch alloys. Newly-developed Takuminuri Colors: Artisan Red Premium and Rhodium White Premium are also added for that fine exterior suave.

Inside, Mazda’s high level of craftsmanship is palpable in every nook and cranny. Luxurious Leganu suede runs through the length of the dashboard, while full-grain Nappa leather seats give the entire cabin that rich, grandiose feel. Their 20th anniversary logo are also embossed on the front seat headrests.

It likewise features a 10way power driver’s seat with memory, six-way power front passenger’s seat, dual-zone climate control, an 11-speaker BOSE® sound system, and an electric sunroof. Enhanced connectivity is delivered through Android Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless charging.
