Mazda Demio :
Price. Reviews. Specifications.

  On April 20, 2017, the compact car Mazda Demio was partially renewed. In this renewal, Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE safety technology was equipped for all grades, improving the safety of the model.
  Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE contains 4 components: Smart City Brake Support (SCBS F) - automatic brake that helps to avoid a collision with the preceding vehicle and reduce the damage during low-speed driving (at advance time); False Start Suppression Function - cognitive support technology that contributes to restraining a rapid start, when an obstacle is detected (at advance time); Blind Spot Monitoring System (BSM) - a radar that gives warning when vehicle changes lanes and another vehicle is detected in the left or right blind spots; Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) - a radar that alerts the driver when another vehicle is approaching from the side when driving backwards.
  It is expected that other Mazda models such as Axela, Atenza, CX-3 and CX-5 will be also equipped with i－ACTIVSENSE during FY 2017.

  Mazda Demio was released for sale in August 1996 and became a popular car, symbolizing Mazda in the 1990s. Demio is a sister car of Ford Japan Festiva Mini Wagon.
  The main reason why Demio became so popular is apparently because its reasonable and compact package was highly appreciated by customers.
  Size of Demio is pretty big compared to a standard town-car, but smaller than typical “Compact Leisure Car”. This size settings attracted many Japanese customers.
  In the minor change in December 1999, both the design, as a part of Mazda brand strategy, and safety equipment were renewed. In September 2000, new sports grade was added to Mazda Demio line-up, together with improvements of safety and environmental features.
