Versatile, innovative thinking

As well as sleek sports styling, the Mazda RX-8 contains enough room to make it a truly practical car for everyday use. The newly developed freestyle door system allows the compact looking sports style cabin in combination with the convenience of easy access.

The rear door-opening angle is also set to optimally reduce the effort of door opening. Lightweight aluminium rear door construction and absence of centre pillars assure smooth and effortless door operation and a spacious door opening area. Loading baggage onto the rear seats also becomes supremely easy.

In addition, a 290-litre boot volume means you'll have enough room to hold two suitcases or golf bags. The console box also incorporates a new idea in space efficient stowage: the lid, which doubles as an armrest slides rearward to reveal two cup holders behind the gearshift lever. In its rearmost position the console box opens to reveal storage for four CD cases.

There are loads more smart storage spaces thoughtfully placed throughout the cabin, including map pockets, so you'll find everything you need for a comfortable journey.
