Innovation is at the forefront for Mazda after it recently announced its first-ever battery-electric vehicle to the US market. Beginning in fall 2021 with California dealerships, the brand’s new electric MX-30 is a dynamic driver, beautifully designed, and optimized to be more efficient than ever before. 

 

Wise car shoppers not only check the upfront expense of a new car, they also contemplate the total cost of ownership that is beyond the initial sticker price.

This is why Kelley Blue Book (KBB) experts honor the best choices among new-vehicle brands and models with lowest projected ownership cost through the 5-Year Cost to Own Awards. Maintenance, insurance, fuel, state fees, and vehicle depreciation are things that are considered at great length by KBB. This helps buyers save money by choosing the best vehicle that will meet their needs, and long-term budget.

Mazda has displayed a new spark of innovation with the recent launch of its first all-electric vehicle – the all-new Mazda MX-30. This is the first step in realizing the brand’s multi-solution electrification strategy.

Since the brand’s inception, Mazda has been known for building fun, good-looking, and affordable cars. Models such as the MX-5 Miata and the RX-7 are legendary for how they look, drive, and handle. Fortunately, Mazda hasn’t forgotten its sporty roots, and still bakes some sportiness into each model. The model we’ll be looking at today, the CX-30, is no exception. The compact SUV space isn’t exactly known for being the most exciting car segment, but this small Mazda proves that you don’t need a coupe or convertible to have fun. 

Among three-row SUVs, the all-new 2021 Mazda CX-9 definitely stands out. It will hook you with its incomparable looks, and secure you with the performance. Beyond that, you will be thrilled by the engaging driving experience and updated technology offered.

Mazda’s recent perfect score from the 2021 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) assessment is a sweeping testament of its commitment to exceptional vehicle safety.

Seven out of seven tested 2021 Model Year Mazda automobiles are winners of the coveted Top Safety Pick+ award, the highest safety award granted by IIHS. What’s even more astonishing is — this is the second year in a row that these vehicles have earned the high marks.

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.
