The Akari LE Front Wheel Drive is $35,500 (manufacturer suggested retail price).
Above and beyond the rest of the range’s lists of standard features, the LE has a stack of gear befitting a top-spec model including Nappa leather seats, 18-inch allow wheels, a power sliding-and-tilt sunroof, heated front seats with 10-way power adjustment and memory settings, 360-degree view monitor, adaptive LED headlights, lane-departure warning and more.
Apple CarPlay is not onboard yet, but Mazda owners will soon get the option to have kits installed at an expected cost of $500.
It has a five-star ANCAP rating and safety gear includes Mazda’s Smart City Brake Support (an AEB equivalent), blind spot monitoring, and as already mentioned lane departure warning.
