German honours for Mazda

Mazda scooped three German design awards at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week.

The company’s flowing ‘kodo’ design language has translated to sales, and to numerous awards, over the past three years.

The prestigious Automotive Brand Contest, sponsored by the well-regarded German Design Council, is annual event judged by a group of design experts and journalists.

Mazda received the team of the year award for design consistency across the brand’s product line, and accolades for the Mazda CX-3 compact SUV and its Bike by Kodo concept.
