It is said that all Mazda CX-5 variants were completely sold out before 31 December 2020, which was original deadline for SST exemption.

Malaysian assembled Mazda CX-5 Turbo marches to Thailand, priced over RM 250k!

Thailand has just gotten ahold of the Mazda CX-5 Turbo, which was officially launched here last month. The range topping CX-5 is priced at 1.85m Baht, translating to just over RM 250k.

The Mazda MX-30 made its debut late last year at the Tokyo Motor Show, as Mazda’s first series production electric vehicle. The model made its debut as a battery electric vehicle (BEV), meaning it runs entirely on batteries, and is said to go on sale later this year.

下一代2023 Mazda CX-5标价将大幅上涨,对标Mercedes GLC

目前这一代的Mazda CX-5将是最后一代与Honda CR-V、Nissan X-Trail甚至Volkswagen Tiguan和Proton X70等传统SUV竞争的CX-5,同时它也将是Mazda最后一代经济型的家用SUV。 根据日本Best Car Web的报道,在2023年,Mazda CX-5将会换代到全新的车型,并对标Mercedes-Benz GLC。 和即将推出的新款2022 Mazda 6一样,全新的CX-5将会采用新的后驱平台,并搭载一具新的直列六缸引擎。 与新款的Mazda 6一样,2023 Mazda CX-5也是为了从传统德国高端品牌那里吸引消费者而设计的。 从Mazda最新的Mazda 3和Mazda CX-30所取得的成绩来看,这两款车的内装设计比许多低端的Mercedes-Benz和BMW车型都要更好。因此,人们自然也对下一代的CX-5寄予厚望,但请别期望它的标价会是Honda CR-V的水平。 这具直列六缸引擎很可能仍旧会采用自然进气的形式,排气量将达3升(也有可能是2.5升),这意味着现款CX-5上的2.5升涡轮增压四缸引擎将会被淘汰。 到20

Mazda CX-30 vs Mazda 3 – Should you trade higher seating position for better handling?

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
