Mazda

The 1980s and 1990s weren’t exactly my favorite era for automotive design, but the period did give us some interesting vehicles nonetheless. Among the more compelling ideas to arrive in 1987 was the Mazda Pair – which combined a tiny van and trailer and is one of the cutest concept car designs I’ve ever seen.

Mazda’s new full-size SUV takes aim at competitors like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot while also making a statement towards more luxurious and powerful rides like the BMW X7 and Audi Q7. With the 2024 CX-90, Mazda hasn’t strayed far from its effective and cohesive Kodo design language, which is a good thing.

Virtually every auto manufacturer is looking towards a future where cars will be electrified or purely electric. The downside to electrification is that it forces most vehicles to grow larger and heavier to accommodate battery packs.

Mazda has officially confirmed the pricing for its new CX-50 SUV. The automaker brags that the small SUV brings its signature driving dynamics into the outdoors, with some packages offering mild off-road capability. The entry-level version of the SUV is the CX-50 2.5 S starting at $26,800.

Mazda has revealed the official MSRP for the 2021 CX-30 2.5 Turbo has been revealed. The vehicle starts in the standard 2.5 Turbo model for $29,900. Adding the Premium Package pushes the price to $32,300 while the Premium Plus brings the MSRP to $33,900.

Mazda makes some very attractive and fun to drive vehicles that buyers sadly often overlook. The Japanese automaker has announced the official starting prices for the 2021 Mazda CX-9 three-row crossover. The vehicle offers some small visual updates, as well as safety and tech upgrades.

The 2021 Mazda3 will be offered in both sedan and hatchback versions along with 2.0-liter, 2.5-liter, and 2.5-liter turbo powertrains. Several models are offered in all-wheel-drive versions. The most interesting is definitely the 2.5 Turbo that starts at $29,900 for the sedan version.

If there are two underlying things I can say about every single Mazda you can buy today, it’s that they all have a great, consistent design language, and they’re all fun to drive. Now, not a single one is a horsepower beast, but they’re all engaging, with a good connection between the driver and the vehicle.

If there’s one consistent theme here at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, it’s that electrification is a key part of almost every automaker’s go-forward strategy. Among the companies showing off EVs was Mazda, a company who heretofore has stuck strictly with internal combustion engines.

The 2019 Mazda3 hatchback is a really nifty looking car, and it offers some great driving dynamics for its class. Now, Mazda Motorsports has taken the shooting brake style of the 3 hatch and transformed it into a pro race car with gobs of style.

André Frève has a 1992 Miata that he has taken to the same dealership in Canada for service since they opened in 1993. Recently, the man took his Miata in for service, and to reward him for his loyalty to the guys at Longueuil Mazda provided him with some service that was truly above and beyond.

It’s time to face the facts. Compact crossovers aren’t just a flash-in-the-pan trend, they’re a juggernaut within the auto industry. They’re not going anywhere any time soon. So even though I find many of them boring, or with looks like they were drawn by a seven-year-old, I have to come to grips with reality.

After all the rumors have been flying about a power bump for the 2019 Mazda MX-5, Mazda has finally confirmed it is true. The 2019 MX-5 will have a 181hp, 151 lb-ft of torque 2.0_liter SKYACTIV-G engine under the hood.

Mazda MX-5 fans can rejoice, according to an early Japanese review it looks like the 2019 MX-5 will be getting that power increase to 181 hp we first heard about in March. The car as it is now makes 155 hp and the only people who will be upset by this news are the folks who bought a 2018 model.

Back in March, I talked about a rumor going around that the 2019 Mazda MX-5 would be getting a healthy power bump to keep fans happy. What we heard was that the 2.0L Skyactiv-G engine would be going from 155 hp to 181 hp.
