This summer they will release the “Biante” taken from the English word “ambient.” It follows the “flow” design theories Mazda has been toying with these past few years. “Ambient” represents “surroundings and environment” according to a Biante press release.

Mazda Biante – Like the MPV, only more futuristic!

Mazda Biante
Has Mazda been taking design cues from Star Trek’s shuttle craft?

The Biante features an interior space around 2.0-liters, similar to other three-row minivans produced in Japan. Price details have yet to be officially broadcast. Mazda calls the Biante a developing concept of “Zoom-Zoom Tall.”

Its successor, the Mazda 5, has since become one of the best selling (as well as most recognizable) minivans in North America. But don’t count the MPV out of Mazda’s eye line all together. The car company recently showed off their MPV revamp for Japan and the rest of Asia.

The exterior of this 2008 MPV includes redesigned grill and bumpers along with attractive chrome body parts. This “family minivan” has a more ferocious front end that will tell other soccer moms and dads to get out of the way.

Inside, the MPV provides room along with comfort. Easily seating a family of five or more, its plush seating and chrome trim will lull any one of your kids (or the friends you are tooling around with) to sleep. The smooth 5-speed automatic runs best in 2-wheel drive, especially with the 2.3L engine under its hood. Japan hopes to push for a 3,000,000 yen price tag, and if the history of Mazda in the country continues they will have no trouble finding a market for this new (and limitedly available) Mazda MPV.
