Mazda vehicles are designed with the driver in mind and having an active approach to safety can help build upon a premium driving experience with even more peace of mind. Confident driving is better driving, and the updates to the 2019 Mazda6 demonstrate Mazda’s commitment to providing its customers with advanced safety technologies. In the previous model year, the two top-tier trims, Signature and Grand Touring Reserve, allowed customers to enjoy another level of sophistication with plenty of premium features for the midsize sedan. Likewise, customers were excited about the turbocharged Skyactiv-G 2.5T engine being added to the powertrain lineup. Following that success, for the first-time ever, all 2019 Mazda6 trim levels are now standard with the entire suite of i-Activsense safety and driver-assisting technologies. G-Vectoring Control Plus is also standard for 2019 and further improves the steering response to help the driver and all occupants experience a smooth, premium driving experience. Mazda6 Sport comes with an efficient Skyactiv-G 2.5 engine rated to deliver 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Cylinder-deactivation technology is standard on Mazda6’s 2.5-liter engine, which shuts off its two outside cylinders in cruising conditions for even more efficiency. A quick-shifting Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission is equipped on all Mazda6 models and includes a Sport Mode that recalibrates the gear ratios for more spirited driving.

Watch below as Mazda releases the first video of the highly anticipated Mazda CX-30, Crossover SUV:

Mazda CX-30 is more than an entirely new entrant in the rapidly growing compact crossover SUV category…it’s a bold new statement of what such cars should be. As the second model in Mazda’s new-generation product lineup to feature the further-matured Kodo — Soul of Motion design concept, a concept rooted in traditional Japanese esthetics, CX-30 was developed in pursuit of automotive styling as a work of art. To achieve the most alluring, sleek silhouette in this market segment, the designers and engineers worked together as a single team to realize an unprecedented vehicle that uncompromisingly satisfies the generally contradictory demands for roominess, ample cargo space, and truly beautiful proportions. I am confident that its flowing form and refined interior will strike the eye as a singularly beautiful work of art. Beyond that, my desire is for this beauty to stimulate our customers’ creative sensibilities, encouraging them to exercise more creativity in their own lives. Far from being art that is appreciated only on occasion, CX-30 promises to enrich the life of all who choose it by bringing a work of art to the everyday.

Mazda Motor Corporation today made the world premiere of the second model in its new-generation lineup, the Mazda CX-30 compact crossover SUV. As a new core model, the CX-30 will be rolled out to global markets, with sales starting from Europe this summer. The CX-30 will be on display to the public at the Geneva International Motor Show from March 7-17.1 The CX-30 is a new compact crossover that combines the bold proportions of an SUV with elegant styling that embodies Mazda‘s Kodo design language. The development team hoped to create a car that would enrich customers’ lives by helping them and their loved ones make new and stimulating discoveries within their daily lives. Relaxed and user-friendly packaging and a cabin that comfortably seats four adults mean customers can easily enjoy trips to any destination with family and friends. Moreover, the CX-30 was designed to be easy to drive. The increased height over a passenger car provides excellent visibility and makes getting in and out a breeze while the body size makes it easy to maneuver on any road and in any parking lot. Basic performance attributes such as accelerating, turning and braking have been dramatically enhanced. Mazda’s Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture enables people to make the most of their natural sense of balance and the latest Skyactiv engines, including Skyactiv-X, allow responsive control of vehicle speed in any driving situation. “We designed the CX-30 to be an essential partner in the customer’s daily life,” said Akira Marumoto, Mazda’s Representative Director, President and CEO. “It will be made at key global plants so we can deliver Mazda’s renowned driving pleasure and matured Kodo design to customers all over the world. Moving forward, our new products and technologies will ensure customers continue to see the value in owning a Mazda car. We aim to be recognized as a brand that forms the strongest of bonds with each customer.”

Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced that its 2019 Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) advanced rating for automatic emergency braking systems, the nonprofit institution’s second highest rating. The 2019 CX-5 hosts many new technological features that help improve on the vehicle’s comfort, convenience and safety. The CX-5 was one of five vehicles that earned the advanced rating under the IIHS’s new, more stringent automatic emergency braking systems as part of its pedestrian crash prevention ratings. The CX-5’s standard Smart City Brake Support and 360°View Monitor were also instrumental to CX-5 meeting the IIHS safety criteria. The pedestrian autobrake test is the fourth crash avoidance evaluation in the Institute’s lineup of safety tests. Under the new program, vehicles rate as basic, advanced or superior based on their ability to avoid or mitigate a crash with pedestrian dummies in three different test track scenarios run at different speeds. The CX-5 had significant speed reductions in every test scenario, meaning it almost avoided and, in some cases, did avoid striking the pedestrian dummies. “Our Mazda Proactive Safety Philosophy guides us to develop cars and crossover SUVs that are both nimble and responsive to help a driver avoid incidents altogether,” said Masahiro Moro, president and CEO of Mazda North American Operations and managing executive officer, Mazda Motor Corporation. “At Mazda we are not only concerned about the safety of those behind the wheel but those who come into contact with our vehicles every day. We are committed to producing beautifully designed vehicles that push the boundary of form and function.” The IIHS is an independent, non-governmental safety-testing organization, funded by the insurance industry.
