About the Mazda Biante
The Mazda Biante is a dedicated eight-seater MPV developed primarily for the Japanese domestic market to compete with the Nissan Serena and Toyota Noah. It is distinguished by its 'tall-boy' proportions and expansive glasshouse, with the A-pillars flowing seamlessly into the large headlights. The 2012 model features the 2.0-litre DISI engine, often paired with Mazda's i-stop idling technology to improve urban fuel efficiency. Inside, it offers a 'Living Mode' where the seats can be slid back to create a massive amount of legroom, though it lacks the 'Karakuri' seating flexibility found in the smaller Mazda 5.

Mazda Biante fun facts
- The name 'Biante' was derived from the Italian word 'Ambiente', intended to highlight the car's spacious interior atmosphere.
- Its exterior styling was a bold application of Mazda's 'Nagare' (flow) design language, featuring a dramatic rising beltline that merges into the front light clusters.
- Despite being designed for Japan, the Biante was also officially exported to markets like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Hong Kong due to regional demand for large MPVs.
