Parenting experts from Parents magazine and automotive experts from Edmunds.com recently named the all-new 2017 CX-5 as their Best Midsize Crossover on their list of 10 Best Family Cars of 2017. The CX-5 was praised for its combination of value, performance, safety and family-friendly features. Families no longer have to compromise safety for performance or creature-comfort features for an elegant design. The CX-5 is a vehicle that sets itself apart from the competition, and, starting at an MSRP of just $24,045, the CX-5 reaffirms that families can have it all. “For 2017, we completely redesigned the CX-5 and made more family-friendly improvements,” said Tetsu Nakazawa, Mazda North American Operations vehicle line manager for the CX-5. “We even engineered the rear doors to open wider from the previous model year to allow for easier child-seat loading and unloading. Being recognized by Parents magazine and Edmunds is an honor and it attests to our commitment of making a great vehicle that fits a variety of lifestyles.” more Since the first-generation model went on sale back in 2012, CX-5 has been widely praised for its quality, sophisticated design, craftsmanship and impeccable handling. The newly redesigned 2017 CX-5 has a premium interior with a hushed cabin and smoother ride, providing the perfect setting for any passengers longing for an undisturbed nap. Proactive safety and i-ACTIVSENSE technologies such as Blind-Spot Monitoring, Smart Brake Support and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) with close proximity warning give drivers an added boost of confidence when transporting loved ones. The 2017 CX-5 is currently available in Mazda dealerships nationwide. For more information about the 10 Best Family Cars of 2017, please visit www.edmunds.com

The compact Mazda3 does it again and again and again… and again. For the fourth time in a row, Mazda3 has taken the No. 1 spot on Kelley Blue Book’s 10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000. Remarkably, Mazda3 has appeared on KBB.com’s annual affordable cool cars list every year since the car’s inception 14 years ago. “The Mazda3 is widely regarded as the best-looking and most fun-to-drive vehicle in the segment, and we call it one of the coolest cars of all time,” said Jack R. Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. more Two longstanding criteria—fun-to-drive and fun-to-own—are critical among the deciding factors of what the KBB.com editors freely admit is a very subjective “cool factor,” the overarching No. 1 criterion for a vehicle to place on this list. Kelley Blue Book’s list of Coolest Cars Under $18,000 proves that you can find a head-turning vehicle that also suits your needs without breaking the bank. The 2017 Mazda3 carries a base MSRP of $17,845 and comes standard with Mazda’s industry-exclusive G-Vectoring Control (GVC), leading to smoother, more accurate steering inputs resulting in greater confidence and control for the driver. The latest model features an interior above its class and a striking design, delivering a more premium appearance. Advanced safety features such as i-ACTIVSENSE, Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring and Smart City Brake Support helped the Mazda3 earn a Top Safety Pick+ honors from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mazda3 is offered in sedan and five-door with available six-speed manual in addition to the automatic transmission, providing a sought-after option for purists.

Following its much anticipated arrival in dealerships, Mazda North American Operations is taking the all-new 2017 Mazda CX-5 on a fifteen-city, nationwide “Experience the All-New 2017 Mazda CX-5” tour where prospective customers will have the opportunity to understand why driving a Mazda is so special, all while experiencing Mazda’s latest approach to craftsmanship, engineering and design, and how that’s embodied in the all-new CX-5. The cross-country tour will include “Intercept” events, or the more traditional ride and drive experience at a set location and “Mastercraft” events, which will feature special events in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Chicago, inviting Mazda owners to explore the “Mastercraft” behind a certain product or craft that aligns with the Mazda brand. more “Our goal is to engage our audience in an impactful way, in a location that’s convenient and familiar to them,” said Russell Wager, vice president of marketing for Mazda North American Operations. “By allowing our customers to engage with our brand and our vehicles in an environment that is fun and interactive, we create the opportunity for potential customers to experience our personality as a brand. Ultimately, we hope they have such a great time during their drive experience that they consider joining the Mazda family, when searching for their next vehicle.” Participants of the “Intercept” component will be guided through the city on a quest to learn more about the vehicle and the unique Mazda driving experience. During the tour, participants will learn first-hand how a lighter vehicle can ultimately make the drive more fun; that safety features can enhance, and not overtake, the driving experience; how technology can help support the driving experience, not take away from it; and how Mazda’s Jinba Ittai driving philosophy directly translates to the driver’s everyday experience in the vehicle. When Mazda’s designers and engineers went back to redesign the all-new 2017 model, they emboldened it with a new, more refined KODO—Soul of Motion design, premium interior and added refinement and technologies. CX-5’s exterior draws in the eyes and never lets them go, honed in several new colors, including the lustrous Soul Red Crystal that brings a show-car-like finish to everyday drivers. Inside, the driver and passengers will notice a hushed cabin and smoother ride, thanks to an obsessive attention to detail and Mazda-exclusive technologies like G-Vectoring Control that uses the throttle and steering to smooth CX-5’s ride and build driver confidence. With all of the refinements, Mazda stayed focused on creating the best-driving vehicle in its segment—a hallmark of the Mazda brand and an area that further sets CX-5 apart from the competition.

May your day start without any requests, excuses, or emergencies! Happy Mother's Day!
