The Mazda Sassou is a small, lightweight three-door hatchback design concept that Mazda presented at the 2005 Frankfurt Motor Show as a look at where its B-segment car might head. It was designed at Mazda's design center in Frankfurt, Germany, and was shown with a turbocharged three-cylinder 1.0-litre MZR DISI direct-injection gasoline engine and an idling stop feature, as a lightweight urban car for young, first-time buyers. Its hidden features followed the Japanese Shoji screen principle and were revealed by an illumination system, while the interior used a USB stick as a key and a compressed-air back seat that changed its seating layout. Sassou is a Japanese term for having a positive state of mind.
