Even in the crazy times we are living in, there is always something to celebrate. This time, Mazda gets to celebrate the Mazda3 winning the 2020 World Car Design of the Year Award! Keep reading for details.

A Major Award

The World Car Design of the Year Award is one of the prestigious awards presented by the World Car Awards (WCA). The Mazda3 is actually Mazda’s second vehicle to be designated as World Car Design of the Year. The Mazda MX-5 Miata won it in 2016.

“Mazda is honored to be recognized with this prestigious award,” said Masahiro Moro, Chairman and CEO of Mazda North American Operations. “While we’re pleased to receive this good news, we remain focused on the health and safety of our employees, dealers, customers, and communities. We look forward to celebrating with our Mazda family in the future.”

Kodo Design Philosophy

Mazda’s design ideology is “Car as Art”. The Mazda3 has embraced a more sophisticated Kodo architecture. People around the globe have agreed. The Kodo design pulls its influence from Japanese aesthetics. It is a “less is more” type of philosophy. There is no need for gratuitous or exorbitant components. According to Mazda “The result is a unique design that creates subtle undulations of light and shadows gliding over the car’s smooth body, crafting a natural and powerful expression of vitality.”
