Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced that the 2014-2018 Mazda3 has been awarded CarGurus first place award for “Best Used Car” in the Compact Sedan/Hatchback category. CarGurus Used Car Award nominees were selected from late-model cars originally available in the United States. Vehicle generations that include the 2015 model year were considered in their entirety when evaluating nominees. Nominees were evaluated on criteria including CarGurus user reviews, professional test drive reviews, popularity, availability, and projected 12-year retention value. The Mazda3 was the overall winner in the Sedan/Hatchback category receiving top marks in a competitive field. “Shoppers who love to drive owe it to themselves to test-drive a pre-owned Mazda3” said Matt Smith, CarGurus senior editor. “Few vehicles deliver the same level of driving enjoyment, and even fewer do so while offering shoppers the choice between sedan and hatchback body styles. Add in the Mazda3’s impressive value retention, and this sporty compact is a great choice for many shoppers.” Since its debut in 2004, the Mazda3 has become the best-selling Mazda in the world, with more than 5 million sold. The Mazda3 is sought after for its engaging driving dynamics, award-winning design and unparalleled quality. With four decades of predecessors, Mazda’s driving philosophy of “Jinba Ittai,” representing the harmony between car and driver, has remained the same. “Our cars are designed to enhance people’s lives and be an extension of their person,” said Jeff Guyton, President of Mazda North American Operations. “We are thrilled to be honored with this award which recognizes Mazda’s dedication to craftsmanship and ensures that our vehicles will delight for years after purchase.” At Mazda, everything we do is designed, engineered, tested and retested to make driving better. And our Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are no exception. Setting this standard of Certified Pre-Owned quality means only the most well maintained, late-model Mazda vehicles make the cut. Major and minor components are studied, scrutinized and tested to make sure they meet the highest expectations. And for utmost peace of mind, every Certified Pre-Owned Mazda is covered with warranty protection and 24-hour emergency roadside assistance.

Kelley Blue Book, a leading vehicle valuation and information source, has recognized Mazda for the second consecutive year as the Top Performance Brand in its 2019 Brand Image Awards. Representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public, the 11th annual Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards recognize automakers’ outstanding achievements in creating and maintaining brand attributes that capture the attention and create enthusiasm from the new-car buying public. “We work hard to focus on what the driver wants – cars that are engaging to drive with our unique Kodo styling and our inventive engineering. This commitment to our customers is what pushes us to continually make improvements. We are honored to have this dedication recognized by being awarded Kelley Blue Book’s Top Performance Brand award for 2019,” said Dino Bernacchi, chief marketing officer for Mazda North American Operations. “Mazda is a company made up of skilled craftsmen, and we will continue to infuse each vehicle with the soul and passion of our talented people.” Determining the winner of the Brand Image Awards is not just based on a moment in time or a quick online poll. The 2019 Brand Image Awards are determined by consumer automotive perception data from Kelley Blue Book Strategic Insights’ Brand Watch, which is an online brand and model perception tracking study. It annually taps into more than 12,000 in-market new-vehicle shoppers who research purchasing decisions through Kelley Blue Book’s official website, KBB.com. The comprehensive study provides insights on what factors new car buyers take into consideration when making their purchase decisions. The study also captures brand and model familiarity and brand loyalty among new-car shoppers. “Mazda vehicles are engineered to be intuitive and exciting to both the driver and passenger, which is something that resonates with consumers,” said Hwei-Lin Oetken, director of strategic insights for Kelley Blue Book. “This is Mazda’s second consecutive award for Top Performance Brand, which is validation of the Mazda team’s steadfast commitment to building familiarity and loyalty among consumers.” Mazda will be presented with the Top Performance Brand award at the New York International Auto Show on Wednesday, April 17 by Steve Lind, vice president and general manager, OEM and Industry Solutions for Cox Automotive.

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 has been recognized by Good Housekeeping as a top rated vehicle in the compact crossover SUV category for their 2019 Best New Car Awards. The experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute (GHI) joined forces with Car and Driver to put the year’s newest vehicles to the test. After driving the year’s new vehicles over 5,000 miles of city roads, highways and test tracks, they narrowed down the field to the top 50 makes and models. In addition to industry standards and proprietary protocols, the GHI Labs tested the new vehicles on safety, value, handling, design and technology to determine the winners. “Mazda CX-5 is fun to drive and we were impressed by how smoothly the car handled both around town and with highway driving,” said Laurie Jennings, GHI Director & Lead Consumer Tester. “With the CX-5 you feel like you’ve gotten more than you paid for,” added Rachel Rothman, GHI Chief Technologist and Head Engineer. “Its modern, sophisticated design makes it feel like a timeless, high-end pick.” Constantly evolving, the Mazda CX-5 takes its next key step with a high-quality interior befitting a new top-tier Signature trim level. Additionally, the CX-5 has evolved with a refinement of the powertrain line up with the addition of the turbocharged Skyactiv-2.5T engine (Grand Touring Reserve & Signature Trim) and an enhanced focus on the chassis featuring the latest technologies with G-Vectoring Control Plus (all trims). Other optional features that can be found on certain trims of the 2019 CX-5 that support comfort, convenience and safety include: Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM compatibility; a reconfigurable 7.0-TFT gauge display; heated and ventilated front seats; heated rear seats, heated steering wheel; BOSE® 10-speaker premium sound system; windshield-projected Active Driving Display head-up unit and a 360° View Monitor. “The sleek Kodo design and Mazda’s Skyactiv Technologies are what differentiates Mazda from other automakers,” said Jeffrey Guyton, president, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO). “We are proud that Good Housekeeping and Car and Driver have recognized the beauty and value of the CX-5 for the second year in a row.” The CX-5 is Mazda’s best-selling vehicle in the U.S. and has surpassed 2 million units sold worldwide. Industry accolades for the CX-5 are numerous and include IIHS Advanced Pedestrian Crash Prevention Rating, Car and Driver’s 10 Best Trucks and SUVs for 2019 and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Honors. The 2019 CX-5 carries a starting MSRP of $24,350. For more information on Good Housekeeping’s 2019 Best New Car Awards, visit Goodhousekeeping.com/carawards.

Following its recent global reveal at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the all-new 2019 Mazda3 has picked up its first award. Members of the influential Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association (GAAMA) voted the 2019 Mazda3 as their “Biggest Bang for Your Buck” vehicle at the 2019 Atlanta International Auto Show. “Mazda has strategically placed the Mazda3 in a class above,” said Daryl Killian, president of the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association. “With all-wheel drive, sedan and hatchback options, Mazda has removed any justifiable reason for consumers to look elsewhere and with a premium all-wheel drive model coming in under $30,000, why would they?” Having sold more than 6 million units since its 2003 debut, the all-new Mazda3 is a global strategic model that has driven Mazda’s growth from both a brand and business perspective. The 2019 Mazda3 sets a new milestone as the first production model to lead Mazda into a bold new era. Blending beautiful second generation Kodo design language and exhilarating driving dynamics, Mazda3 was developed to inspire and create an emotional bond with its customers in two very distinct ways. Despite sharing the Mazda3 moniker, the hatchback and sedan models have distinct personalities—the design of the hatchback is emotive, the sedan elegant. The all-new Mazda3 offers what few do in this segment—all-wheel drive. Combined with unique G-Vectoring Control Plus, the Mazda3 with i-Activ AWD performs exactly as the driver intends. Based on its philosophy of designing the car around the human being, Mazda has dramatically enhanced the car’s fundamental driving attributes such that accelerating, turning and braking feel completely natural to the driver. Other available features include windshield-projected, full-color Active Driving Display head-up unit, leather seats, power moonroof, signature front and rear LED lighting and Adaptive Front-lighting System. It also adds a BOSE® 12-speaker premium audio system as part of the preferred package, and paddle shifters when equipped with Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission. “The automotive press has had glowing things to say about the sleek and elegant Mazda3 sedan and bold and powerful Mazda3 hatchback,” said Masahiro Moro, chairman and CEO of Mazda North American Operations and senior managing executive officer, Mazda Motor Corporation. “We’re honored to receive GAAMA’s ‘Biggest Bang for your Buck’ award as further affirmation that we are reimagining and designing cars people are excited to drive.” The 2019 Mazda3 is currently on sale starting at an MSRP of $21,000.
