Last year was yet another strong one for Mazda in Ireland, with vehicle sales increasing by 35 per cent in comparison to 2015.
Mazda says that its success can be attributed to the award-winning sixth generation product line-up, which boasts SkyActiv technology and breath-taking Kodo design. Both components allow the Mazda range to be extremely efficient without compromising on performance while being arguably the best-looking cars on the road.
The fourth generation Mazda MX-5, which was introduced less than 18 months ago, won the highest award of World Car of the Year 2016. This follows a history of accomplishments awarded to the rest of the SkyActiv range.
This recognition of the product excellence, coupled with the recent network redevelopment, have allowed the brand to attain its recent lift in sales growth, making it one of Ireland’s fastest growing automotive brands. This year looks to be an even more exciting year for Mazda, as two all-new models will be launched.
In February, the all-new Mazda MX-5 Retractable Fastback will launch in Ireland. This will give customers a choice of having a mechanical hardtop as well as a powerful 2.0 petrol engine as an alternative to the dynamic 1.5 petrol Roadster, which was launched last year. Later in the year, the all-new Mazda CX-5 will hit Irish shores.
The current Mazda CX-5 has proven to be one of the most successful models to be launched in Ireland by the brand and the updated version is sure to bring new standards to the competitive SUV segment.
The Mazda3 and Mazda6 received updated features in late 2016, including a heated steering wheel and Mazda’s latest technological advancement - G-Vectoring - which improves driving dynamics, comfort, and safety. Customers ordering the upgraded Mazda3 and Mazda6 in 2017 will enjoy this feature as standard.
