The Mazda Hakaze (マツダ・葉風, Matsuda Hakaze) was a concept car that was revealed in early February 2007 by Japanese manufacturer Mazda.[1] Its major design elements came from a new design language developed by Mazda called Nagare, designed by Laurens van den Acker, which also designed other Mazda concepts, and most notably the Renault Clio and Renault Captur. [2] This element has been used on past Mazda concept cars such as: Mazda Nagare; Mazda Ryuga; Mazda Kabura.
It was designed to have the looks of a coupe, the functionality of a Crossover SUV or CUV, while having the driving capabilities of a roadster.
