Mazda's sporty yet accessible nature has made it a favorite among motorheads across the world. Their new release, the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Meridian, adds to this history. An upgrade on top of the 2.5 liter, 256 horsepower four-cylinder Turbo model, the Meridian upgrades the appearance and the off-road capabilities of the CX-50. For exterior colors, the Meridian is available in Zircon Sand, a light brown, or Polymetal Grey. 

The Mazda CX-30 is Mazda's smallest vehicle in its SUV lineup—but don't let its size fool you. The compact SUV has the comfort and stately feel of a larger car, but still keeps the agility and excitement that drivers love about the Japanese manufacturer. 

In exciting news for Mazda owners, the 2021 and 2022 models of the Mazda CX-9 have been rated as best in class in safety by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The IIHS rated the CX-9 as a top safety pick in the midsize SUV class. Additionally, the CX-9 was the only vehicle in its class to receive a "good" rating, the highest awarded by the IIHS, in all crashworthiness tests. Clearly, this is a huge plus in the book of anybody looking for an SUV.

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata keeps all of the fun of the classic Japanese sports car, while still keeping some modern advances. The main selling point of the Miata is how much fun it is to drive, and the 2022 model certainly excels in that division.

Mazda Motor Corporation has always been on a mission to lend a helping hand to where it is needed.

In Ukraine, unrest remains as heavy fighting persists between Russian and Ukrainian forces.

The Mazda foundation is expanding past simply providing high quality vehicles. This year alone, the foundation distributed $495,000 across 11 organizations via its annual grant giving process.
