If you are anything like me, then you\u2019ll be driving along the highway spotting the cars coming the other way.\u00a0 One of the snazzier brands out on the roads would have to be those from out of Mazda\u2019s showrooms. \u00a0Mazda\u2019s great variety of models all look great and boast some striking modern designs.\u00a0 Even the new Mazda BT-50 ute, a very reliable workhorse, is looking pretty slick, and so too the family-oriented new Mazda 6 Sedans and Wagons.\u00a0 Mazda also offers a wide range of brand new SUVs with sharp looking exteriors and endearing interiors that are well-equipped. \u00a0The small MX-30 is one of these SUVs, and it also has some cool new materials used inside the cabin \u2013 like the cork inlays that offset nicely against the premium leather trim.<\/p>\n
Toyota, Mazda, Kia, and Hyundai sell the most cars in Australia; Toyota being out in front by a decent margin, with Mazda coming in at second place.\u00a0 For quite some time, in Australia, Mazda has been a popular vehicle to buy.\u00a0 Mazda\u2019s 2022 sales of 43,687 are down 9% on this time last year, though Mazda retains its 2nd placing to Toyota\u2019s 1st<\/sup> place for overall sales.\u00a0 Sales drops have occurred right across the market, thanks to the shortages of components and current logistical issues.\u00a0 Mazda had sold 101,119 vehicles in 2021, quite a large portion of the whole pie, considering all the brands that are available to buy new in Australia.<\/p>\n So, what\u2019s some hot off the press<\/em> Mazda news?<\/p>\n You may have noticed a tidy looking compact SUV running our roads the past couple of years.\u00a0 Mazda\u2019s MX-30 is one of Mazda\u2019s newer creations in recent times \u2013 gaining in popularity too.\u00a0 The little Mazda MX-30 has been a key model for Mazda in that this has been Mazda\u2019s model of choice for bringing new technologies, hybrid motoring, and EV motoring into their modern fleet of vehicles that will also lead them in a new direction for future motoring.<\/p>\n As the direction of future transport trends toward cleaner engines and lower emissions, Mazda launched a series of mild-hybrid powertrains.\u00a0 We saw these first being used in the Mazda 3 and Mazda CX-30.\u00a0 The Mazda MX-30 provided a mild-hybrid engine, but Mazda also made available their brand new pure-electric drivetrain available for the MX-30.\u00a0 Designed purely for an emissions-free city commute, the Mazda MX-30 Electric uses its 107 kW to whistle up to 0-100 km\/h in 9.7 seconds and up to a top speed of 140 km\/h.\u00a0 The driving range proves to be over 175 km, a handy dollop of motoring before recharging needs to happen.<\/p>\n Some other new Mazda technology which will be implemented will be that of a new small rotary engine as a supplementary power source. \u00a0With a NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) accredited range of 224 km, this will provide Mazda-buyers with another means of excellent low-emission city transportation.<\/p>\n Mazda\u2019s approach to electrification is based on the customers\u2019 demand for EVs, and the regional infrastructure available to support them.\u00a0 Within 5 years, Mazda hope to introduce a new hybrid system alongside more battery-electric models in their line-up of new vehicles.\u00a0 This is in response to the newer European emissions rules that come into effect.<\/p>\n Towards the end of this decade, Mazda\u2019s entire line-up will offer fully electrified versions. \u00a0One model that has been talked about as being another exciting Mazda EV will be the little MX-5\u2019s progression into EV powering. \u00a0Now that\u2019s a tasty thought!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are anything
