About the Mazda Challenge
The Mazda Challenge isn’t your typical test drive. Drivers are invited to get behind the wheel at Santa Fe Mazda and feel firsthand the superior driving dynamics, innovative technology, and sophisticated design that sets Mazda apart from the competition.
You’ll experience why Mazda continues to earn praise for superior driving dynamics, award-winning safety features, and premium design at an unbeatable value.
What Sets Mazda Apart?
Mazda combines the qualities loyal Toyota and Subaru owners value most — reliability, safety, and real-world efficiency — but adds something extra: a deep connection to the drive.
Jinba Ittai
Mazda engineers are obsessed with the driving experience. They believe in Jinba Ittai – the feeling of oneness between car and driver.
Translated as “the oneness of horse and rider,” Jinba Ittai represents the ultimate driving experience — a feeling of complete harmony and responsiveness between the driver and the vehicle. It’s the sensation that you and your Mazda move together seamlessly as if driven by a shared spirit.
This unique connection is crafted through Mazda’s commitment to precision engineering, allowing every curve, every turn, and every acceleration to feel natural and intuitive. Mazda is engineered to handle the road with precision, whether navigating a city commute, cruising down the highway, or tackling your next road trip adventure.
When you drive a Mazda, you’re not just behind the wheel; you’re part of a dynamic relationship built for pure driving pleasure.
This philosophy guides every aspect of their design, from the responsive SKYACTIV® Technology engines to the meticulously crafted interiors.
