The 2018 Mazda CX-3 brings a look of style, luxury, sleek lines, and exciting features to enhance the driving experience. Whether you need a quality vehicle for in town driving or a durable ride for extended over-the-road adventures, the CX-3 models fill the bill. more Available Trims The CX-3 is available in three trims. These include the Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring models available with front-wheel-drive (FWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD).   There are differences among the models to consider when selecting which one provides everything you need when you’re behind the wheel. These may include, but not limited to, safety features and options, interior and exterior features, and upgraded entertainment systems. Overview Each model comes with a basic 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and gas engine type with a combined fuel economy of 31 mpg. Models are equipped with a 6-speed shiftable automatic, a 4-cylinder 2.0-Liter engine, 146 horsepower, and accommodates five passengers.   Overall, the C-3 provides a fun-to-drive vehicle with plenty of get-up-and-go, has competitive fuel economy, sharp lines, and eye-catching style. All-Wheel-Drive versus Front-Wheel-Drive An available option on 2018 CX-3 models is the i-ACTIV AWD® all-wheel-drive system. Whether your driving time focuses on work, business, or pleasure, weather conditions are an important factor in safe driving.   With the i-ACTIV system in place, it is always on the lookout for changes that affect the traction of the SUV. Through monitoring of conditions and adjusting the power to accommodate the changes provides the necessary traction to prevent the wheels from slipping.   Front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles handle normal conditions of light rain and minimal snow adequately. Since the SUV is relying on the two front wheels for traction, it may not provide the same level of traction power as an all-wheel-drive model. Sport Standard features on the Sport are designed for a comfortable, convenient, and safe ride. These include fold flat rear seats for more cargo space, Bluetooth, back-up camera, automatic emergency braking, tire pressure warning sensor, and cruise and audio controls on the steering wheel. Touring The CX-3 Touring is considered the mid-level model and has plenty of style, power, and several standard features. For clear and well-lit driving, it is equipped with automatic headlamps, automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, heated front seats, and blind-spot monitoring featuring a rear cross-traffic alert.   The SUV also features 18-inch wheels and the Touring Preferred Equipment package, which includes a rear cargo cover, power sunroof, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a Bose 7-speaker audio system. Grand Touring The top-of-the-line CS-3 comes with the Premium safety package, which includes automated emergency braking system at high-speed, automatic high-beam headlamps, and lane departure warning sensor. The Grand Touring model also includes adaptive cruise control, an adjustable driver’s seat fitted with lumbar support, memory settings for the seat, heated steering wheel, and traffic sign recognition capabilities. Interior The cabins of each CX-3 model is detailed and designed for comfort. Some of the interior features available, depending on the model, include rear window defogger, remote keyless illuminated entry system, tilt and telescopic steering column, MAZDA CONNECT™ Infotainment System, Pandora® radio integration, and more.   The 2018 CX-3 models bring a solid driving performance through enhanced suspension, optional front-wheel or all-wheel-drive, and quality construction. Whether you choose the Sport with standard features, the mid-level Touring with extra features, or the Grand Touring with premium features, each offers a quality driving experience.

The 2017 Mazda 6 isn't your average family sedan. The Mazda 6 is sleek and stylish, packed with power, and full of safety features to put your mind at ease. more Interior Details The interior of the 2017 Mazda 6 has been designed with the refinement of a sports-car in mind. The center console is larger to accommodate the navigation and entertainment system, and the dashboard has been given a sporty update. Upgrade to the available high-grade Napa leather seats for even more luxury. Every Mazda 6 comes standard with the Mazda Connect infotainment system. It's fully touch screen and allows you to seamlessly connect to your smart device so you can make hands-free phone calls and listen to your favorite music. Add the available Bose 11-speaker surround sound system to bring your driving experience to the next level. Skyactiv Technology Mazda wanted to create a vehicle that had incredible performance while still ensuring it was fuel efficient. With their Skyactiv Technology, they've been able to do just that. They have reshaped the body to make it more aerodynamic. It is stronger, yet lighter, so you still get plenty of speed without sacrificing safety. Mazda has also tweaked the internal combustion engine in order to deliver better fuel efficiency. The 2.5-liter engine that comes standard with all Mazda 6 vehicles has a higher compression rate than most conventional engines. This means that they're getting more energy out of the fuel than a regular engine. This allows the Mazda 6 to give drivers up to 35 miles per gallon highway. The Skyactiv Technology also gives drivers the choice between a Skyactiv 6-speed automatic transmission or the Skyactiv MT 6-speed manual transmission for more control behind the wheel. Advanced Safety Features The Mazda 6 comes standard with several safety technologies that make driving safer and more enjoyable. These features include rear cross traffic alert, a lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance in case you veer into a busy lane, blind-spot monitoring, brake support in case you need a little extra help detecting objects, and cruise control. The vehicle also has intelligent lighting systems that help you see better while making sure you're a responsible driver. The high beam control system helps you see better at night and will alert you when you should turn it on. It then senses when there is an oncoming vehicle and it dims them until the vehicle has passed. The available advanced LED lighting system is a great feature on the 2017 Mazda 6 that helps you see around bends and tight corners at night. As you turn, the lights pivot up to 15 degrees to help you better see what's in front of you. Another upgrade that makes the Mazda 6 so special is the available I-ACTIVESENSE system. The I-ACTIVESENSE uses cameras and radar around the outside of the vehicle to react to and alert you of unsafe situations. The 2017 Mazda 6 is a vehicle that is packed with comfort and luxury yet it doesn't sacrifice the speed, performance, or safety. What more could you ask for in a new car?

You'll love the new and exciting features in the 2017 model. more Power and Performance The Mazda ethos is the blend a little bit of sports-car know-how into all of their vehicles. The CX-5 definitely has the power of a sports-car. Under the hood, you'll find a 2.5-liter inline-four engine with 187 horsepower, 185 pound-foot of torque, and a six-speed automatic transmission. You can swap into manual control by using the console-mounted shift lever. With all that power it still manages to be great on fuel. The new 2017 Mazda CX-5 gets an EPA-estimate 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Interior Comfort The interior of the CX-5 has been designed with the driver in mind. The door handles and interior controls have been moved so that they are perfectly placed for ease of use. The interior is lined with metal wood trim and the cabin is quieter than ever before. The CX-5 is comfortable for all five passengers that it seats. The back seat has increased legroom, available heated rear seats, rear air-conditioning vents, and rear-reclining seats for those long drives. The backseat also has two USB ports so that everyone can stay connected and charged-up. Need more cargo space? Not to worry, the back seats have an easy-release and fold down to give you up to 59.6 cubic feet of cargo space. You can fold down one or all of the seats depending on your needs. New Exterior Style Mazda put a lot of care into the design of each and every one of their vehicles and that is very apparent in the new CX-5. The 2017 CX-5 is more stylish than ever. The front grille is larger and concave to make the vehicle look much wider than its predecessors. It now has slim LED headlights and the A-pillars have been pushed back 1.4 inches to emphasize the length of the hood. Mazda has also created a new paint color for this year's CX-5 that compliments its body shape and gives it a sense of movement even when it's parked. The new color is called Soul Red Crystal Metallic. Safety Technology The new 2017 CX-5 is packed with safety technology that will make driving it even more enjoyable. The new Predictive I-Activ all-wheel-drive intelligently determines when all-wheel drive will be needed. The system monitors the outside temperature, throttle input, and braking patterns to determine where to distribute the torque. Another great feature of the CX-5 is the traffic sign recognition. Using navigation and the front camera, the vehicle preemptively warns you using a display screen that sits at eye level what is coming. Other technology features include a lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and radar cruise control. The 2017 CX-5 has had over 250 enhancements to make it more powerful, comfortable, spacious, safe, and sleek.

News is coming out for the 2018 Mazda 6, and it's looking like this version will be the last of its current generation before a major refresh for the 2019 model year. That means you can expect the same sharp design seen on the 2017 model, mixing style with comfort and technology. The cabin is one of the most appealing aspects of the Mazda 6, so let's take a look at the best interior features making a return for next year. more Generous Standard Audio System The Mazda 6 is divided into the Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trim levels. On the basic Sport, drivers get a six-speaker CD player and audio system with HD radio and online audio streaming. The infotainment screen is controlled by a simple rotating dial and voice controls, plus a touchscreen for when the 6 is parked. Bluetooth streaming and a USB port are also included. For drivers who want to really rock out or get the best quality on spoken-word programs, the mid-level Touring trim offers an optional 11-speaker Bose premium sound system with satellite radio. Climate Control and Comfort Uncommon for such an affordable family sedan, the Mazda 6 includes automatic climate control, which treats the front and rear seats as separate zones. If you want a more subtle and fancy way to warm up, try the Touring's Premium package, which adds heating functions to the imitation leather front seats. The Grand Touring takes it a step further with premium leather seats and a heated steering wheel. Convenient Driver Aid Systems Drivers, especially those with families, will appreciate safety features. While the infotainment screen on the standard Mazda 6 Sport includes a rearview backup camera, the Touring has blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts and forward collision mitigation. The former helps warn you not to back up or change lanes if another vehicle is in your way, and the latter applies the brakes automatically when a collision is imminent, which reduces the force as much as possible. Innovative Trunk Rear Seat Levers As a family sedan, the Mazda 6 needs to be easy to load and unload groceries, sports equipment, and everything else. The trunk has 14.8 cubic feet of space, sufficient for its class. But the 6 shines brightest when you need more room. The rear seats have remote seatback release levers so that you can simply open the trunk, push the buttons in the trunk walls, and pop the rear seats down without even touching them directly.   A mild update to the 2017 Mazda 6, the 2018 version is a mid-size sporty sedan that starts out nicely equipped for its price range and then rises closer to a luxury sports car as you climb the trims.

The CX-9 is among Mazda's most popular vehicles, a well-equipped and stylish SUV that adds an extra touch of refinement, both in terms of design and road manners. However, while Mazda describes the CX-9 as perfect for passionate drivers, it's also a practical vehicle for families. Check out some of the best things this three-row Mazda offers in terms of safety, comfort, entertainment, and efficiency. more Advanced Standard Safety Tech A rearview backup camera and automatic emergency braking are highlights of the 2017 CX-9. In 2016, the CX-9 Touring trim level offered Smart City Brake Support, an automatic braking system for lower speeds. But in 2017 the Touring gets this system standard plus blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. The Grand Touring adds rear parking sensors, lane-keep assist, enhanced forward collision prevention, and adaptive cruise control. Some of these features are available as options on the lower trim levels, so you don't necessarily have to make the full upgrade to a higher trim. Roomy and Comfortable Interior This luxurious Mazda has a lot more going for it than a leather-wrapped steering wheel and rosewood accents. With both the third and second rows folded flat, the CX-9 has about 72 cubic feet of cargo space, and passengers equally benefit from that much room when the seats are up. The driver gets a six-way adjustable seat, and standard tri-zone climate control means the back and front rows can have the exact level of cooling or heating that suits them. Chic Entertainment Suite Road trips will never be boring thanks to the standard technology on all 2017 CX-9 models, including a seven-inch Mazda Connect screen with compatibility for navigation apps. Upgrade only one trim level to the Touring and you'll get the 8-inch alternative screen instead, along with two USB ports. Both infotainment screens forgo unreliable touchscreen controls and instead have a handy dial to cycle through options and make selections. If going hands-free is more your style, you can also use voice commands to open apps, enter an address, and much more. Power Meets Efficiency All versions of the 2017 CX-9 include a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, an exhilarating ratio that keeps it sprightly in both city and highway driving. Thanks in part to a smooth six-speed automatic transmission and painstaking engine refinement, this SUV boasts excellent fuel economy for its size. In most cases you could expect 25 combined miles per gallon in front-wheel drive and 23 combined mpg in all-wheel drive.   With Mazda's 2017 model, luxury and practicality aren't mutually exclusive. The basic Sport trim level is an awesome mix of family friendly standard equipment, and an affordable bump up to the Touring trim adds so much more. While it prides itself on more personal benefits, such as appearance and fun driving, families need not shy away from the CX-9.

Mazda offers some of the finest passenger vehicles of modern-day motoring. 2017 was no different as the model after model came out and dazzled Mazda fans the world over. Discover some of the top 2017 Mazda models and what makes them so special. more 2017 Mazda Miata At first glance, the 2017 Mazda Miata is a beauty. The design team took the style aspects that worked on the XR6 and perfected it in this model. The silhouette is sleek and elegant and reminds drivers of a barracuda, gently swooping along the ocean floor. This vehicle is known for its handling capabilities, and there is also the impressive 155 horsepower that makes it a formidable opponent on the road. But the fuel economy doesn't suffer too much here, as the car manages 26 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the open road. 2017 Mazda CX-9 The original CX-9 was introduced to us a number of years ago as Mazda's answer to a big crossover vehicle. With years to fine tune the smaller things that make this one a crossover of choice, there are a number of reasons why the 2017 model is one of our favorites. Although it kept many of the design features of the 2016 model, it does offer a new trim that includes automatic emergency braking as a standard feature. This makes it sought-after as many top range features are already standard, even with the base model. It also powers along easily with the 227 horsepower on regular gas and 250 horsepower on premium. Mazda 3 Sedan Once again a feast for the eyes, this car carries a powerful look yet still manages to remain elegant. As for driver satisfaction, this is one of the best vehicles in terms of handling. The trim options are easy to navigate and customers choose between the basic, well-equipped or loaded model. When it comes to safety, this is also a great option as it scores top marks in this category. Apart from quick acceleration, this model also features the tell-tale Mazda base features. This means even the base model is loaded with a stack of features ordinarily paid for with other brands. Mazda CX-3 Although this model is sometimes easily overlooked because of its big brother, the CX-9, the 2017 installment of the CX-3 is a worthy mention. This is because of the addition of the iACTIVSENSE feature that is now standard with this model. This little feature packs a whole lot of punch as it offers drivers access to adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, brake assist, high beam control, and more. This immediately ramps up the safety and the best part is that the 2017 model is less expensive than the 2016 model.   If there is one thing about Mazda that makes it the car of choice for so many out there, is that its drivers become accustomed to spectacular features. The cars are reasonably priced which makes them easily attainable to most drivers. What's more, these reasonable prices doesn't mean the brand skimps on safety.
