The Mazda Axela Navi Edition comes with a highly functional HDD navigation system, which includes a "one-seg" terrestrial digital television tuner and a rear view monitor. Additionally, the 2.0-liter models also feature an exclusive Bose^® sound system, which was developed specially for the Axela, and Mazda's Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) that aids nighttime driving by automatically turning the headlights in response to steering wheel angle and vehicle speed.
