Is the Mazda Atenza a coupe-style car?
2 Answers
Mazda Atenza is a coupe-style car. The Atenza also adopts Mazda's design philosophy, featuring a front face with a very muscular engine compartment, a low-slung hood, giving it a strong coupe demeanor and a highly personalized appearance, making it a very cool coupe. The Atenza is Mazda's next-generation mid-to-high-end sports sedan flagship model, developed with the spirit of breaking conventions and starting from scratch. The dimensions of the Atenza are 4870 mm in length, 1840 mm in width, and 1450 mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the Atenza incorporates Mazda's new Kodo design language, with a U-shaped face and LED headlights. The new model's headlight assembly includes LED daytime running lights.
I've been driving the Atenza for two years, and every time I park, people ask if this fastback design is a coupe. Actually, it's positioned as a midsize sedan, but the design is incredibly sporty—just look at the roofline that slopes sharply from the B-pillar and the low-slung body stance, almost identical to a coupe. Mazda officially calls this the KODO design philosophy, aiming to give family cars a sports car vibe. I often drive on mountain roads, and the steering is razor-sharp with minimal body roll in corners, delivering that tight coupe-like feel. Strictly speaking, though, coupes should have two doors, while the Atenza comfortably seats three in the back, plus it has a huge trunk that easily fits all the camping gear for weekend family trips. I'd say it's a family car with the soul of a coupe.
