Mazda Biante is not as well known or popular as Toyota Noah, Toyota Voxy, Nissan Serena or Honda stepwagon in Kenya but its liked by those who have taken the leap and bought it. Its production run ceased in 2018 and is therefore not available as a brand new car. Its successor is regarded as the Mazda CX-8 regardless of the fact that they are not in the same category.
The Biante was developed under the concept of "Zoom-Zoom Tall, where you can see, ride, and expand your dreams." It is a model that features a spacious and easy-to-use interior space and dynamic and unique styling. .
It debuted in 2008, but at the time it had the longest interior length (2,990mm) and interior width (1,545mm) in its class, while the interior height (1,350mm) was at the top level in its class, resulting in a spacious interior. We are making the space come true. In addition, the large triangular windows on both sides and the large side windows with low bottoms create a sense of spaciousness and openness.
In addition, the frontage of the sliding doors on both sides is large at 780 mm, making it easier to get in and out of the vehicle. It is devised. We have pursued "cleanliness" in a spacious and practical car interior, such as the use of nanoe, which is effective in disinfecting, deodorizing, and suppressing allergens such as pollen, and the adoption of "cleanable sheets" that are processed to prevent dirt from sticking and are easy to wipe off. Comfort is also a point.
A 2015 Ex-Japan unit can cost from Kshs 1.3M more or less climbing upto Kshs 2.3M for a 2018 model. This makes it cheaper than its Toyota counterparts.

Biante has a very distinctive appearance as a minivan. The most striking feature is the shaping that continues from the sharp headlamp units to the large triangular windows. The design is directly connected to the side view window section, a detail not found in other models.
This is a design that gives an intuitive impression of the spaciousness of the interior of the vehicle just by looking at it from the outside. This trend extends to the rear section, where the large LED combination lamps directly below the rear window emphasize the spaciousness, driving stability, and low center of gravity.
In 2012, Mazda's new design concept "Kodo" was introduced, and the exterior image changed with the introduction of a special edition car "Glanz" with a signature wing design on the front. And with minor changes in 2013, Grants has been officially promoted to a catalog model.
A wide meter cluster with a sense of depth is positioned slightly toward the driver's seat from the center of the top surface of the dashboard, minimizing the movement of the driver's line of sight and allowing it to be seen by passengers in the second and third rows. It has been.
By sliding the 2nd and 3rd row seats all the way to the end, you can enter the "living mode" where you can secure up to 863mm of legroom in the 2nd row. In addition, you can enjoy practical and easy-to-use seat arrangements such as "walk-through mode" that divides the second row seats into left and right, and "luggage mode" that can be selected according to the size of luggage.
There are two types of seats available: light beige with a bright and open feeling, and black with a firm and solid feel. The basic color of the decorative panel is black. We have prepared a trim that makes you feel.

The suspension was developed exclusively for the Biante, adopting a MacPherson strut at the front and a multi-link system at the rear. It achieves both a comfortable ride and stability when riding with a large number of people. The brakes are 4-wheel disc brakes with large rotors, and are characterized by linear and firm effects according to pedal operation.
In addition to the high-rigidity body, damping materials, sound-absorbing materials, and suspension settings optimize vibration characteristics to suppress road noise and enhance comfort inside the vehicle.
Based on Mazda's high-rigidity and safety body (MAGMA), the vehicle is designed to be safe, assuming collisions from all directions, including full-wrap head-on collisions, side collisions, and rear offset collisions.
In the event of a collision, a crushable brake pedal, airbag system, neck shock mitigation front seat, and other equipment reduce the impact on the occupants. Consideration is also given to reducing obstacles to
Although the Biante does not have advanced safety driving support functions or hybrids like the latest model, it is a model that you can enjoy individuality such as a fairly spacious interior space, a user-friendly seat arrangement, and a distinctive interior and exterior design among middle-class minivans. is.
