The Mazda EX-005 (ja|マツダEX005ハイブリッド) was a concept microcar made by Mazda in 1970. It was shown at the 1970 Tokyo Motor Show. It was steered by a joystick, and was the size of an office chair.[6] The EX-005 was designed to be an urban commuter car, but due to a lack of comfort, space, and safety, the EX-005 stayed a concept vehicle and never made production.[7] [8]
