The 42nd edition of the biennial Tokyo Motor Show that opens for the public on December 3 will see Mazda unveiling a new prototype version of its Japanese domestic market Biante people carrier.
The Biante GRANZ showcar is a design study for a more luxurious version of the 4.7-meter (186-in.) long minivan. The most noticeable changes take place up front where Mazda’s designers moved the firm’s new five-point grille from the lower part of the bumper to right under the hood. The new grille also gains prominent horizontal chrome slabs.
Other mods include the exclusive chrome rear finisher, bespoke tail pipes, new chrome trim around the body and different 17-inch alloy wheels.
Mazda did not say whether it plans to introduce a production version of the eight-passenger Biante GRANZ for Japan.
