So, the long-awaited 2020 Mazda 3 Turbo hot-hatch is finally launched in America and is apparently only available in left-hand drive (LHD) for now. Excuse me while I wipe away raging tears from my keyboard. Mazda announced its arrival to American shores with a sleek launch film which features the first-generation Cosmo, 787B Le Mans car, and a Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo with some added aero kits. The Mazda 3 Turbo is powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged Skyactiv-G that produces up to 253 PS and 434 Nm dep

This might look like a regular Mazda CX-30 but if you have been following Mazda’s recent activities, you will know by now that any Mazda with a matt black paint and contrast colour side mirrors is a prototype that is hiding something important underneath the familiar looking body. It’s Mazda’s way of having a little bit of fun while leaving some Easter eggs for sharp-eyed enthusiasts to spot. The company did this with the all-new Mazda 3 SkyActiv-X, whose running gear was first presented to the

What you see here, is a photo of Mazda’s upcoming rotary engine, mentioned alongside Mazda’s upcoming straight-six engine due for 2022, during the company’s second quarter financial results briefing. As you know, Mazda built its name on the back of rotary engines. It’s the only manufacturer to succeed in producing and improving on Dr. Felix Wankel’s inherently flawed design. While Audi (NSU Ro80), Mercedes-Benz (C111 Concept) gave up on it, Mazda was the only manufacturer who persevered and solv

Soon, Mazda will be launching a new rear-wheel drive sedan with a 6-cylinder engine. It might be for the all-new Mazda 6, but it could also be a new model positioned above the 6. Mazda 60 maybe? Its goal is to take on BMW. A Mazda competing with BMW? What blasphemy is this? To be clear, Mazda is still a long way off from being seen as an equal to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi. Just look at how Lexus is doing. Instead, what's going to happen is for Mazda to slowly take over the space for premium, d

The Mazda CX-30 made an appearance this year at the Geneva Motor Show and last week, Adrian had a walkaround with it at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. The CX-30 slots in the gap between the CX-3 and CX-5 (CX-4 already taken) and is based on the new Mazda 3, which explains the pretty much identical interior. As seen in the video, interior space is not vast, a common Mazda trait but adequate for most Asian-sized adults. Materials and build quality is top notch. On the outside, the car rides on 18-inch

Sebut sahaja Mazda CX-5, tentu anda akan membayangkan Mazda CX-5 dengan warna merah. Oleh itu, apa signifikannya warna merah pada Mazda ini? Mengapa warna merah Mazda sangat menjolok mata? Bagi yang belum mengetahui, Mazda terkenal dengan falsafah rekaan KODO (KODO Design). Falsafah rekaan KODO selalunya diikuti dengan slogan ‘Soul of Motion’. Soul of Motion menggambarkan pergerakan alam yang dijelmakan dalam konteks rekaan KODO. Contoh paling mudah, tahukah anda bahawa lampu signal pada setiap

Bermaz Motor has just officially launched the Mazda Anshin website which gives customers a one-stop solution to sell or buy their Mazda vehicles. The Mazda Anshin website caters to Mazda’s pre-owned vehicles (company demo vehicles) and Mazda’s used vehicles that have undergone strict inspection and are certified by Mazda. Before being sold on the website, these vehicles must undergo a comprehensive 11-point inspection at selected authorized Mazda service centres in Glenmarie and Petaling Jaya. T

Mazda 2 mungkin merupakan hatchback yang tua di pasaran, namun ia masih diminati ramai peminat pemanduan. Ini juga bermakna generasi baru mungkin boleh membuat debutnya pada tahun 2021 selepas 7 tahun di pasaran. Laman web automotif Jepun Best Car Web telah menghasilkan beberapa imej lakar Mazda 2 generasi akan datang. Anda dapat lihat falsafah reka bentuk Kodo yang sama dengan Mazda 3 Hatchback yang sangat cantik. Malah bahagian belakangnya mempunyai penampilan yang nampak seperti mini-Mazda 3.

Jika ada sesiapa yang mampu menandingi kehebatan Toyota dalam trak pikap, ia adalah Ford. Ya, Ford Ranger tidak selaku Mitsubishi Triton atau Toyota Hilux. Tetapi, perlu diingatkan bahawa pada skala global, Ford F-150 ialah trak pikap paling laris di dunia. ‘Built Ford Tough’ bukanlah hanya slogan semata-mata. Budaya trak ada pada asas paling utama budaya Ford, dan ada banyak yang boleh diambil dari kepakaran Ford bila bercakap tentang trak pikap. Generasi Mazda BT-50 yang dikeluarkan sekarang b

Hyundai Elantra Mazda 3 Sedan Hyundai Elantra 2021 baru sahaja dilancarkan dengan harga bermula RM 1XX,888. Sedan segmen C ini dihasilkan secara CBU, meletakkan model ini lebih dekat dengan persaingan bersama Mazda 3. Mengapa bukan Honda Civic atau Toyota Corolla Altis? Hyundai Elantra diposisikan sebagai sedan yang jauh lebih premium dan bukannya populariti berbanding 2 model Jepun popular tersebut. Bandingkan harganya, Hyundai Elantra disasarkan sekitar RM 1xx, 888, sementara Mazda 3 Sedan 1.5

Mazda CX-3 Mazda CX-30 Sejak dilancarkan di Malaysia pada awal Januari tahun 2020, Mazda CX-30 2020 telah menjual lebih kurang 3 kali ganda Mazda CX-3. Hal ini menimbulkan sedikit tanda tanya kerana Mazda CX-30 adalah lebih mahal daripada Mazda CX-3. Perbezaan yang lebih jelas dapat dilihat berdasarkan jadual berikut: Perbandingan Harga Mazda CX-3 vs Mazda CX-30 Model CX-3 CX-30 2.0G (CBU) RM 126,829 RM 144,759 2.0G Limited Edition (CBU) RM 141,329 - 2.0G High (CBU) - RM 159,109 1.8D High (CBU)

Manufacturers seem to be filling in all the niches possible in their SUV lineup. Here we have the Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-30, both are technically in the C-segment SUV market, and we've lined them up for a CX-5 vs CX-30 comparison. Well, some would consider the CX-30 to be a crossover but let’s not get into the whole SUV vs crossover thing just yet. Back to the topic, the Mazda CX-5 and CX-30 not only sit in the same segment, they are within similar price bracket as well. So, which do you pi

Kereta SUV menjadi kegilaan ramai pembeli di Malaysia masa kini, dan syarikat pembuat kereta cuba sedaya upaya untuk mengisi kekosongan barisan model mereka dengan kereta-kereta SUV. Antara yang popular termasuklah Mazda CX-5 dan Mazda CX-30 yang secara teknikalnya berada dalam segmen C dalam pasaran SUV. Mungkin ada yang beranggapan CX-30 sebagai kereta crossover. Tapi, hal mengenai SUV/crossover akan dibincangkan dalam entri lain kerana ia agak rumit untuk dijelaskan. Mazda CX-5 dan CX-30 buka

The new Hyundai Elantra offers an alternative option if you’re shopping for a C-segment saloon. Being a CBU import from Korea, it is a bit tougher for the Elantra to compete with the CKD Honda Civic. A CBU rival of the Hyundai Elantra would be the Japan-made Mazda 3 Sedan 1.5. The Hyundai Elantra is now open for booking, but prices are yet to be announced. We expect the price to be around the price of the Mazda 3 sedan 1.5, which is around RM 137,660. One Korean and the other Japanese, we figure

The Mazda 3 Touring Car Racing (TCR) is the latest addition to Mazda’s motorsports program, which will hit the racetrack in 2020. Information on specifications are scarce but what we do know is that power comes from a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, making 350 horses mated to a 6-speed transmission with paddle shifters. The designers have spent countless hours to ensure that the Mazda 3 TCR is compliant with all TCR regulations and flows with the smooth lines on the Mazda 3, retaining the signat

Mazda CX-30 Nama Mazda CX-30 terasa sedikit janggal, kerana SUV segmen C ini diletakkan diantara CX-3 (segmen B) dan CX-5 (segmen C). Patut ia dipanggil CX-4, betul tak? Namun atas sebab tidak mahu menimbulkan rasa kecelaruan di antara CX-4 yang wujud sebagai model berbeza yang dijual khas di negara China sahaja (berasaskan model CX-5 sebelumnya), Mazda rasa perlu untuk memberi nama yang lain. Mazda CX-30 yang anda lihat di sini adalah antara produk global terbaru Mazda. Dilancarkan pada bulan J

As you know, the Mazda 3 comes in two body types, a sedan and a hatchback (which distributor Bermaz Auto prefers to call it a Liftback). Nameplates aside, the Mazda 3 family actually includes an SUV (or if you insist, crossover). The Mazda CX-30 is essentially a jacked up, shorter wheelbase version of the Mazda 3. Distance between the wheels is 70 mm shorter, with a 40 mm taller ground clearance. The shorter wheelbase also means that the CX-30 has less legroom in the rear than in the Mazda 3, it

If there’s anyone with the capability to challenge Toyota’s supremacy in pick-up trucks, it’s Ford. Sure, the Ford Ranger doesn’t sell as well as the Mitsubishi Triton or Toyota Hilux but remember that on a global scale, the Ford F-150 is the world’s best-selling pick-up truck. Built Ford Tough is not just a tagline. Truck culture is at the heart of Ford’s culture and there’s much to be gained by leveraging on Ford’s expertise in pick-up trucks. The outgoing generation Mazda BT-50 shares the sam

For the last nine years, the outgoing generation Mazda BT-50 has been based on a Ford Ranger, built at the same Auto Alliance Thailand (AAT) plant in Rayong. Now, Mazda has swapped partners, preferring to work with its fellow Japanese automaker Isuzu. The all-new 2020 Mazda BT-50, which made its global debut online earlier today, will be built by Isuzu, based on the venerable Isuzu D-Max. The all-new Mazda BT-50 will go on sale in Thailand in the later part of 2020, built by Isuzu alongside the

The Mazda 2 may be an ageing car but it’s definitely one that is catered to enthusiasts. With that being said, after 7 years on the market, the Mazda 2 is definitely due for a new generation that could debut in 2021. As we had reported before, the team over at Best Car Web has produced some interesting renders of what the next-gen Mazda 2 could look like. Judging by the renders, the Mazda 2 could retain the same Kodo design philosophy of the fantastically gorgeous Mazda 3 Hatchback. Even the rea

The oddly named Mazda CX-30 slots between the B-segment CX-3 and the C-segment CX-5. Why is called the CX-30 instead of a more logical CX-4 then? That's because the CX-4 already exists as a totally unrelated China-only model (based on the previous generation CX-5). This 2020 Mazda CX-30 that you see here is Mazda's latest global product. It's a C-segment SUV, similar to the CX-5 but this one sits closer to the smaller Toyota C-HR than the larger CX-5. Just as its little brother the CX-3 is based

Mazda 2这个车型或许已经有些过时了,但它依旧很受车迷们的青睐。不过,尽管如此,但市售了足足7年的Mazda 2,在2021年肯定需要更新换代了。 与我们之前报道的一样,Best Car Web的团队制作了一些下一代Mazda 2的外观假想图。从渲染的图片上看,Mazda 2可能会保留与惊艳的Mazda 3 Hatchback相同的“魂动”家族设计语汇。 连车尾看上去都像是迷你版的Mazda 3,这其实并不是一件坏事。确实,即将退市的Mazda 2也许是最好看的B级掀背车了,但这张假想图中的新一代Mazda 2也一样有着十分惊艳的造型。 不过,最重要的新闻,应该是关于Mazda 2的未来的。我们之前报道过,在欧洲市场上,下一代Mazda 2可能会基于TNGA-B Toyota Yaris(与东南亚地区的Yaris不同)开发。 但从Best Car Web提供的消息来看,下一代的Mazda 2将采用全新的平台设计,至少日版车型是这样的。 所以,欧洲市场得到的是贴牌的TNGA Yaris,而日本市场(希望大马也是) 的Mazda 2则会使用新的定制平台。目前相关的信息还很少,但是据说车

Mazda 3 yang terbaru sememangnya hatchback yang sangat kacak. Ada juga versi sedan, tetapi hatchback tampak lebih cantik. Daya tarikan Mazda 3 bukan sahaja dari luarannya, tapi lebih lagi. Mazda dikenali sebagai kereta yang seronok dipandu. Oleh itu, kami lebih berminat untuk tahu apa yang ada di bawah butnya. Mazda gemar menggunakan falsafah pemanduannya iaitu “Jinba Ittai” dan falsafah rekaannya, “Kodo”. Tapi, jika kita bincangkan tentang teras kereta ini, ia pastilah tren kuasanya. Ini meruju

Recently, news has surfaced that Mazda has trademarked the CX-50 nameplate, fueling speculations that the company is working on a CX-5 replacement model. But is it true? Sorry to burst your bubble, as companies have the tendency of trademarking a lot of names, but that does not necessarily mean that they will adopt these names on their new models. Although the rumour pinpointed the CX-50, Mazda also trademarked several other names, such as CX-10, CX-20, CX-40, CX-60, CX-70, CX-80, and CX-90. Kee

The latest Mazda 3 is a very good-looking hatchback. There is a sedan version, but the hatchback just looks so much better. According to my colleague, the allure of the Mazda 3 isn’t just skin-deep. I reckon he quite liked it. Mazdas have been known as fun to drive, but I'm more curious about what lies underneath . Now, Mazda loves to spout its “Jinba Ittai” driving philosophy and “Kodo” design philosophy, but if we’re talking about the core of a car, it has to be the powertrain. And in this sen

In conjunction with Mazda's centennial year celebration and the Mazda 3 bagging the 2020 World Car Design of the Year award, Bermaz Auto Philippines, the official distributor of Mazda vehicles in the Philippines, has just released the 2020 Mazda 3 edition100. Separating the regular Mazda 3 from the edition100 is the addition of the Mazdaspeed bodykit, which is finished in Soul Red for the Snowflake White Pearl and Jet Black Mazda 3 models, while Soul Red Crystal Mazda 3 units receive Gloss Black

(Model | Gallery) What you're looking at on this page is the Mazda 2 Hatchback Mid. The lower and more affordable Mazda 2 was introduced when Bermaz Motors introduced the facelift with G-Vectoring Control version to our shores. With the 2 Mid, you lose all of Mazda's infotainment system that you get on the higher spec car like the MZD Connect, the touch screen display and even the head-up display. The higher spec Mazda 2 is priced at RM 94,670 without the signature Kodo Red, this puts the 2 Mid

Mazda CX-30 Mazda CX-30 adalah sebuah SUV segmen C yang unik dalam kelasnya. Dibina berasaskan Mazda 3, ia bukan direka untuk pemandu biasa atau untuk memecah rekod jualan, sebaliknya ia direka untuk pemandu yang sukakan pengalaman pemanduan itu sendiri. Diimport terus dari kilang pembuatan Mazda di Hiroshima, Mazda CX-30 dilancarkan di Malaysia pada awal tahun Januari 2020. Terdapat tiga varian yang ditawarkan, iaitu 2.0G dan 2.0G High yang dikuasakan oleh enjin 2.0 liter 4-silinder aspirasi na
