- Stylish Bongo Friendee aero version offered at affordable price -

Mazda Motor Corporation announces the release of the City Runner IV, a special edition of the Mazda Bongo Friendee, which goes on sale today at Mazda and Mazda Anfini dealerships across Japan.
Featuring a spacious cabin and versatile seat arrangements, the Bongo Friendee has been acclaimed for its insightful design.

The base model for the City Runner IV is the 2WD 2.0-liter RS-V Aero with a standard roof, equipped with a square ergonomic cabin and unique, electric roll-up curtains. The special edition offers an exclusive body color, Titanium Gray Metallic, and original 3-dimension decal to give a tougher look. It has also adopted some high-grade features for the interior such as seat center armrests for the second and third row seats and door trim cloth identical to the seat surface. Even with these added features, the City Runner IV sells for 200,000 yen less than the base model, a truly affordable price.
