It’s no secret that compact economy cars have always been one of the most popular vehicle segments. Everyone from young people to families to those who simply don’t need or want a lot of bells and whistles frequently flock to small, fuel-efficient sedans and hatchbacks to get from point A to point B with no fuss. However, it’s time this segment sheds the reputation it’s had for many years. The 2021 Mazda3 proves inexpensive and efficient doesn’t have to be boring.
The compact SUV or crossover space isn’t exactly known to be the most exciting vehicle segment, but the Mazda CX-5 manages to dial up the fun and excitement while still maintaining a practical, family-friendly form factor. Even just walking up to this vehicle for the first time will give you pause — it is clear that this SUV is different from the rest of its competitors, in a very good way. While other small SUVs look bulbous and incapable of doing anything athletic, the 2021 CX-5 looks lean, mean, and ready to tackle the roads.
The subcompact SUV space is not overly packed with great choices for discerning buyers. More and more buyers find the higher ride height in a small size appealing for practicality—and less strain on the body! One of the finest cars in this competitive class is the Mazda CX-3.
The 2020 Mazda CX-9 features an upscale and detailed style from the inside out while meeting all of your needs and wants on the road. Its sharp handling and gutsy turbocharged four-cylinder engine allow the CX-9 to channel Mazda’s lightweight sports car while hauling the kids from practice or taking home groceries from the supermarket.
In the past few years, the subcompact SUV space has been chock-full of fantastic choices for buyers desiring practicality in a smaller package than a traditional SUV. The segment is competitive, but few cars shine as brightly as the Mazda CX-30.
The 2021 Mazda CX-30 has been awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) most honorable award, the 2020 TOP SAFETY PICK+. As an industry leader with more TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards than any other auto brand, this is a well-deserved feat for Mazda. The 2021 CX-30 joins the 2021 Mazda3 Sedan and Hatchback, Mazda6, CX-3, CX-5, and CX-9 as the recipients of the 2020 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.
Redefining the qualities of a superb compact SUV, the Mazda CX-5 is easily turning heads. With exceptional design, driving dynamics, and value, it has been praised time and again. For 2021, the CX-5 has been named among Car and Driver’s 10Best winners, marking the 4th time in a row now.
This year, U.S. News & World Report has named Mazda the “Best Car Brand” for the sixth consecutive year. This is a huge feat for Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) that was driven by the strength of its class-leading Mazda3, Mazda6, and MX-5 Miata.
