Mazda Has Most 2020 IIHS “TOP SAFETY PICK+” Awards of Any Other Automaker

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) today announced that the Mazda3 Sedan and Hatchback, Mazda6, CX-3, and CX-5 vehicles have earned its 2020 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. Mazda’s CX-9 Crossover earns an additional TOP SAFETY PICK for 2020 Model Year (MY) when equipped with specific headlights.

Survey Finds Road Trips Are Millennials’ Secret To Disconnecting From Busy Life And Enjoying Quality Time

In this busy world, consumers of all generations are engaged in a silent battle to disconnect from work and social media — and the devices that keep them tethered to both. Millennials are no different. A recent survey of 1,004 Millennials (aged 23-38) living in the U.S., conducted by Kelton Global on behalf of Mazda, revealed that if given free time, they would most like to hit the road for a trip, with 39 percent of respondents saying they would head out for a driving adventure. That is 50 percent more Millennials than those who would choose to be a homebody for the weekend to binge content — only 26 percent. Driving not only allows Millennials to disconnect, but also provides an opportunity to reconnect with their travel companions. Almost two-thirds, or 64 percent, of Millennials agree road trips create quality time with their passengers. In fact, their choice of travel companions reiterates their yearning for a connection. Almost all Millennials, at 92 percent, agreed that if they had to pick, they would rather go on a road trip with a loved one than a celebrity musician, athlete, actor or social media star. However, the Mazda Millennial Drivers Survey also uncovered that 22 percent of Millennial drivers would give their car an “A” rating as a getaway companion. Limited storage, uncomfortable seating, hard-to-reach settings, among other issues mean Millennials often think twice before going on a road trip. Key findings include: • Lack of Confidence. Many Millennials are hesitant to make the drive, as 72 percent say there isat least one reason that has held them back from taking a road trip. Frequently cited reasons were lack of confidence in their own driving abilities (28 percent are not comfortable driving in inclement weather and 19 percent don’t trust their skills at the wheel on unfamiliar terrains), while another 15 percent feel their vehicle is not high-performance enough to handle the adventure. • Storage Issues. More than three-quarters (76 percent) of Millennial drivers have experienced difficulties trying to fit what they want to bring along into their car. Among those who’ve had issues with cargo space, the top items they wish they had enough room for include camping or sporting equipment (63 percent), luggage (46 percent), and even space to take their pets on road trips (29 percent). In fact, 1 in 10 Millennials admit they have missed out on a road trip because they didn’t have enough space for all their gear. • Physical and Mental Side Effects. Eighty-three percent of Millennials have experienced a physical or mental side effect from driving for long periods of time. Close to half of Millennials (43 percent) put more comfortable interior on their wish-list of features that would make driving more enjoyable. “The results of this study show that Millennials want to reclaim the roads and bring back the road trip — but it also highlights how many are not taking a trip of their dreams because of an inadequate vehicle,” said Dino Bernacchi, chief marketing officer for Mazda North American Operations. “Mazda has been focused on how driving makes you feel for more than 50 years and as a brand rooted in essentialism and ingenuity, we are discovering new ways to heighten driving experiences. While all our vehicles deliver on this feeling, the CX-30 brings the best of what is next from a company that is known for being a driver’s car. As we look to 2020 and our 100th year in business, Mazda will continue pursuing its goal of rekindling the excitement of the road trip and the enjoyment of driving.” The Antidote to Digital Fatigue The all-new Mazda CX-30 is the ideal crossover to get Millennials on the road for their next adventure, as it is designed to be agile in the city but equipped with the utility and performance capability to go almost anywhere. In addition, Mazda optimizes the driving experience for the real world by studying human traits, tendencies and abilities. The result is the application of an essentialist design ethos that focuses on removing busy elements for a refined, comfortable and responsive experience. The Mazda CX-30 has class-leading horsepower of 186 hp1, features Mazda’s new off-road traction assist and Mazda Connected Services. It also realizes two contrasting design concepts with the flowing beauty of a coupe and bold proportions of an SUV. The all-new CX-30 is rounded out with a premium feeling interior cabin, engineered to reduce road noise inside the car (while promoting meaningful conversations), abundant cargo space and ergonomically designed seats to ensure the driver and passengers are comfortable.

Mazda is dedicated to the purity of the MX-5 Miata, an iconic vehicle with more than a million units produced and the Guinness World Record holder for the best-selling two-seater sports car.

The Miata’s engine paired with its lightweight physique and agile driving dynamics. provide an outstanding power-to-weight ratio that summons pure joy on just about any road.

For 2020, MX-5 Sport adds more i-Activsense safety features that includes Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Smart City Brake Support and Lane Departure Warning System as standard. Aligned with the brand’s path to premium, the Miata receives updated Mazda badging, fonts and key fob design. The sharp, athletic design is matched by a black cloth soft top, 16-inch Metallic Black aluminum alloy wheels, silver dual exhaust outlets, and LED headlights and taillights. Conveniences inside include Mazda ConnectTM infotainment system with seven-inch full-color, touchscreen display, AM/FM six-speaker audio system including driver’s side headrest speakers, HD RadioTM, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, rearview camera, removable dual cup holders, leather three-spoke steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake, Mazda Advanced keyless entry, dual USB audio inputs, push-button start, power locks, power windows with one-touch down feature, amongst more standard essential features.

Both the MX-5 Club and MX-5 Grand Touring are offered in a soft top as well as in a RF – retractable fastback – configuration. The MX-5 RF can open or close its roof in a remarkable 13 seconds; providing the look and feel of both a sporty coupe and an iconic convertible. MX-5 Club and MX-5 Grand Touring are now available in Mazda’s new Polymetal Gray exterior color. The MX-5 Club enters 2020 with Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM as a new feature. When equipped with the Skyactiv-MT manual transmission, this trim level includes a limited-slip differential, Bilstein dampers, front shock tower brace and sport-tuned suspension. This trim level includes all the i-Activsense safety features from the MX-5 Sport and enhances the driving experience with a Bose® nine-speaker audio system that includes passenger headrest speakers, SiriusXM® radio with three-month trial subscription and LED daytime running lights.

CX-30’s Cabin is Imbued with High-Quality Features Designed to Maximize Quality Time

Whether you’re a driver or a passenger in the first-ever CX-30 crossover SUV, one idea remains central: What you don’t see and hear might just be as important as what you do. For example: While driving to a weekend destination, you might notice the high quality and depth of the conversation you’ve had with your spouse ensconced in the passenger seat next to you. When braving the Monday morning commute, you might be surprised at the level of detail you’re able to glean from your carpool counterparts as they recount their weekends. In short, you may notice the caliber of your interactions going up. What you’re not likely to notice, however, is road noise, an uncomfortable seat or the distracting din of music that is too loud. That’s because the entire cabin of the 2020 CX-30 was designed to create a space that’s comfortable, and conducive to human connection. “The cabin had to be spacious enough to facilitate good times shared between family and friends,” explained Naohito Saga, program manager of CX-30, “offering comfort and peace of mind so drivers and passengers could relax and enjoy the ride.” The result is a spacious interior that incorporates a number of features to help create a sense of serenity and flow for both drivers and passengers. Careful attention was paid to the craftsmanship of each and every detail from materials to finishes, creating not only a fantastic environment, but also a cozy conversation space. Here are some standout examples of the intentionality behind CX-30’s interior design: A Well-Appointed Seating Area To give CX-30’s interior a premium feel, Mazda’s designers referenced luxury furniture and leather makers to study how they layered the fabrics and treated their stitching. Then they applied similar techniques to the CX-30’s interior, resulting in a sense of texture, depth of color and a unique luster. A Spacious Cabin The cabin of CX-30 was meticulously crafted to offer an interior space that seats four adults comfortably on even the longest drives. Both the front and rear seats in CX-30 are designed to create a comfortable distance between its occupants. Despite the size difference of the vehicles, CX-30 has the same distance between passengers as the larger-profile Mazda CX-5. Increased space between the seats also allows the driver and front-row passenger to easily converse with second-row passengers or check on a child in a car seat. To further define the space, CX-30 also includes wide center consoles with armrests in both the front and second rows, creating literal ‘elbow room’ for every passenger. A Graceful Entry CX-30 makes it easy to access both the front and rear seats. Even though it has a high ground clearance, its lower hip point on the seats and taller door openings were designed to allow for natural entry and exit. Engineers also added a new shape to the door sills to help prevent accumulations of mud or dust, so that passengers will not get dirt on their clothing when exiting the vehicle. “We carry out a lot of research into the way customers use our vehicles,” said Masanori Mochidzuki of the Architecture Design Department at Mazda. “We want customers to sense the spaciousness of the rear seats as soon as they open the car door and to ensure leg movement will be smooth when they actually board the vehicle. Passengers can get in and out of CX-30 smoothly with minimal neck and lower back strain.” A Quiet Cabin To further enhance the premium experience of CX-30’s interior, one of the most important tasks for Mazda’s designers was to create a quiet, peaceful space; an environment in which the driver can naturally focus on the road and the passengers can relax and have clear conversation. It’s not enough to just make the cabin quiet, though: Mazda’s designers studied human perception of sound to eliminate sounds that are perceived as unpleasant, while transmitting pleasant sounds from the engine and audio system. To achieve a cabin where occupants feel at ease, Mazda engineers rethought nearly every assumption. For example, the audio engineering team at Mazda moved the side speakers in CX-30 from their traditional location in the doors forward to the footwells, eliminating a major source of road noise and vibration. The entire cabin is constructed with a two-layer wall structure, incorporating an insulating layer to further dampen unwanted sound. Holes were eliminated throughout the cabin where possible to enhance the effects of the sound insulation. Even the floor mats and tires were carefully selected for their ability to reduce spikes in road noise caused when traveling across different pavement types. A Refined Audio System While CX-30’s quiet cabin makes conversation a joy, the sound quality in the vehicle is also greatly enhanced by the new Mazda Harmonic Acoustics sound system. By studying human physiology and psychology, Mazda’s engineers were able to position the speakers in a layout for optimal sound playback and transmission to the human ear. This has the effect of balancing out the audio while increasing the dynamic bass range and enhancing mid-range sound clarity to create an immersive quality and clarity of sound reminiscent of a sound studio. When the audio system is added to all of the other comfort features found in CX-30, passengers should be able to relax and enjoy engaging conversations. At the same time, drivers should be able to converse safely and effortlessly. The result? An unheard-of level of quality interaction during the journey the owner is sure to notice.
