New Mazda6 prices to start from just £14,891 on-the-road

 

·         Expanded 2009 new Mazda6 line-up on sale from January

·         Eleven models priced from £15,869 feature all-new 2.2-litre diesel engine

·         Five equipment levels – S, TS, TS², Sport and Sports Luxury

·         Enhanced safety with new lane-change ‘Rear Vehicle Monitoring System’

 

When the expanded 26-strong line-up of 2009 new Mazda6 models goes on sale in January, prices will start at just £14,891 (OTR).  Mazda is taking the opportunity presented by the arrival of its all-new MZR-CD 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, with a choice of three power outputs, to also introduce some specification upgrades and one additional diesel model – offering both the low power (125ps) and mid power (163ps) engines in the TS hatchback.

 

Among the specification upgrades is a new standard equipment feature on 15 models from the £17,563 TS² upwards – Mazda’s lane-change ‘Rear Vehicle Monitoring System’.  This innovation will be a significant boost to safer driving.  Fully automatic, the new active safety feature employs two rear-facing radar units that detect and warn the driver of an approaching vehicle before he/she has a chance to move across into a busy lane by mistake.

 

“In its previous 140ps form, our diesel Mazda6 out-performed many potential rivals and delivered real financial benefits for our customers.  Now we have taken another big step forwards with all three 2.2-litre diesel engines providing increased power and torque, combined with class-leading fuel economy and modest CO₂ ratings.” Mark Cameron, Mazda UK Sales Director.

 

“New Mazda6’s three-way choice of power and performance, plus even more refinement, will greatly boost this model’s appeal to both user-choosers and retail customers.  The availability of DSC (dynamic stability control) on all models and our new lane-change radar system on many models, will also make new Mazda6 even more attractive to fleet managers concerned to fulfil their duty of care,”

 

Refined, Responsive, Fuel-efficient, all-new Diesel

 

Overall, the all-new MZR-CD 2.2-litre engine offers substantially higher power and torque than the previous-generation 2.0-litre diesel, while delivering equal levels of fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions and weighing just 6kg more than the smaller capacity power unit.

 

Offered in three versions producing 185, 163 and 125ps of maximum power output and 400, 360 and 310Nm of torque respectively, the 2.2 will meet the demands of a wide spectrum of customers.  Excellent low-end response (from as little as 1,800rpm with a flat maximum torque curve that continues until 3,000rpm) contributes to the smooth and powerful driving feel.

 

It is one of the quietest and most powerful engines in its class, with a lively yet cultivated character that will offer a truly exclusive driving experience.  Every Mazda6 diesel comes with a six-speed manual transmission – fitted with a high top ratio (0.711:1) for quiet, relaxed and fuel-efficient cruising.

 

The three new diesel powertrains for new Mazda6 retain, or hugely improve, the Zoom-Zoom, fun-to-drive, attributes of this popular Mazda.  Acceleration to 62mph with the 2.2-litre low power 125ps diesel takes just 0.2 seconds longer than the previous 2.0-litre 140ps diesel (10.9 compared to 10.7 seconds for the hatchback), while the mid power 163ps achieves 62mph in 9.2 seconds and the high power 185ps reaches that speed in just 8.5 seconds.

 

Five, Highly Specified Equipment Levels

 

Although Mazda is keeping the new Mazda6 range as simple as possible for 2009, buyers will continue to be offered a broad choice of powertrains and specifications, with each of the equipment levels – S, TS, TS², Sport and Sports Luxury, highly specified within its price band.

For 2009, two S models offer entry to Mazda6 ownership from £14,891.  Comprehensive standard equipment includes: Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS), six airbags and ‘Active’ front seat head restraints, 16-inch alloy wheels, remote central locking, manual air-conditioning, Karakuri 60/40 split folding rear seats, a radio/single CD audio system with 4 speakers and an auxiliary jack for MP3 players.

 

Nine TS models (from £15,869), add 14 items including: electric and heated door mirrors, cruise control, trip computer with speed alarm, dual-zone climate control air-conditioning, leather steering wheel and gear knob, two additional audio speakers (total = six), a rear seat centre armrest and CF-Net steering wheels controls.

 

Priced from £17,563, eight TS² models add nine items including: 17-inch alloy wheels with 215/50 R17 tyres, electric folding door mirrors, dusk-sensing automatic lights, rain sensing automatic wipers, an integrated Bluetooth^® system and the new Rear Vehicle Monitoring System (RVMS).

 

Four Sport models (from £19,326), feature smart entry and push-button start, a 240W BOSE sound premium audio system with eight speakers, half leather heated sports seats, Bi-Xenon headlamps plus a much bolder visual differentiation from all other versions, with the ‘Sports Appearance Pack’ fitted as standard on this model, while 18-inch wheels were introduced for the first time on a Mazda6.

 

Three range-topping Sports Luxury models (from £20,353), bring customers premium equipment such as full leather seats, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors and electrically powered sun roof.

"The current Mazda3 offers huge value for money, particularly on the Takara model with its generous specification," explained Malcolm Hance, dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda in Victoria Road.  "On top of that we have some excellent deals across the current range, making the Mazda3 a real family car bargain in these difficult economic times."

 

The 14-strong line-up of upgraded Mazda3 cars was introduced in May 2008.  Four new Takara models, priced from £13,310 on-the-road, replaced the previous TS variants.  Standard equipment on Takara models includes climate control air conditioning, electric front and rear windows (with global opening/closing), integrated steering wheel audio controls, driver's seat adjustable lumbar support, rear seat centre armrest plus 16-inch alloy wheels, leather rimmed steering wheel and gear knob, a trip computer and a 6-CD auto-changer.

New for the upgraded line-up are the two Mazda3 1.6 Sport models (hatchback and saloon), both priced at £14,886 until 31 December.  These models have most of the range-topping equipment from the 2.0 Sport –– such as the full Sport styling kit, 17-inch alloy wheels, Xenon headlights, rain sensing wipers and autolights, rear combination lamps with LED lights and a premium BOSE^® audio system with seven speakers –– and three new items; chrome exhaust, black interior trim with red stitching and privacy glass.

 

The three Mazda3 2.0 Sport models are upgraded to feature leather seats as standard.  The two petrol versions are priced at £16,257 and the diesel at £17,626 until 31 December.

 

Mazda3 possesses one of the segment's best active and passive safety packages.  Active measures include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) as standard on all models.  Passive measures encompass driver and front passenger airbags, front side airbags, full-length curtain airbags (on all but the entry-level S hatchback), seatbelts with pretensioners and load‑limiters, and both a collapsible steering column and brake pedal.

 

The all-new five-door Mazda3 saloon made its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show last month while the four-door hatchback was unveiled at the Bologna Motor Show on 3 December.  Models will arrive in showrooms in 2009.

"The Mazda CX-7 offers driving excitement in a sophisticated four-wheel drive crossover vehicle,” said Malcolm Hance, dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda.  “It is a powerful, dynamic sports car with the presence and stature of a sports utility vehicle.  It’s completely different from anything else in the SUV market.”

 

The turbocharged 2.3-litre petrol engine generates 260ps and 380Nm of torque, has a top speed of 130mph and sprints to 62mph in just eight seconds.  Available as a single highly-specified model priced £24,081 on-the-road, it will retain a sector-leading 40 per cent of its value after the benchmark three years or 60,000 miles.

NEW MAZDA RX-8 R3 DELIVERS EVEN MORE DRIVING FUN

Sports car fans can now buy the new version of the Mazda RX-8 at Rivervale Mazda in Brighton with typical 4.9 per cent APR* finance.  The latest rotary-engined, four‑seater, four-door coupe is on sale at the Victoria Road showroom priced at £24,473 (on‑the‑road).  Powered by the unique 231ps twin-rotor engine, the new Mazda RX-8 R3 offers drivers a heightened experience with faster steering, chassis and engine responses, more refinement, more equipment and even greater value. 

 

"The Mazda RX-8 is already a design classic.  There really isn't anything else like it on the market," enthuses Malcolm Hance dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda.  "Mazda has been perfecting the rotary engine for 40 years, and the RX-8's RENESIS twin‑rotor power unit's mix of high-revving smoothness, reliability and performance is very special.  At under £24,500, the new Mazda RX-8 R3 is still incredibly good value for a 146mph sports car with the ability to reach 62mph in just 6.4 seconds."

 

The Mazda RX-8 has always had the appearance of a classic sports car with a powerful‑looking and dynamic exterior design.  This has now been enhanced by the standard‑fit Sports Styling Pack, which comprises a sport front bumper, side skirts and rear wing all finished in body colour.  The new model's front wings no longer feature the air‑extractor vents behind the wheel arches and accommodate the turn-repeater lights instead.  In addition, it also has a larger five-point grille, new front headlamps, new front fender designs, new twin round LED rear lamps and a redesigned rear bumper with larger exhaust pipes.

 

The more aggressive appearance is complemented by the all-new larger diameter 19-inch alloy wheels with ultra-low profile tyres.  These extra-light wheels have five 'rotor‑shaped' spokes and are finished in dark titanium. 

 

The new Mazda RX-8 R3 is available in four new body colours –– Aurora Blue Mica, Crystal White Pearlescent, Diamond Grey Metallic and Sparkling Black Mica –– and two carry-over colours, Sunlight Silver Metallic and Velocity Red Mica.  Whatever colour customers choose, there is no additional charge. 

 

"The changes made for the Mazda RX-8 R3 have not detracted in any way from the unique selling points that made the Mazda RX-8 such a stunning car at its 2003 launch," explains Malcolm Hance.  "Mazda RX-8 is still the world's only rotary-engined production car and, that very rare creation, a genuine four-seater coupe.  The freestyle doors ensure good access and the car has the typical Mazda functionality, practicality and reliability that also make it a 'use-me-every-day' kind of car."

 

"With the new-look Sports Styling Pack for the Mazda RX-8 R3, Mazda is taking a step back towards its sports car heritage, giving its coupe the appearance of a Japanese racing car," added Mark Cameron, Mazda UK sales director.  "The model delivers an even more focused and sporty driving experience, while retaining the original model's many uniquely attractive technical innovations and adding numerous premium features.  The new Mazda RX-8 R3, together with the Mazda MX-5, is sure to maintain Mazda's position as 'Britain's favourite sportscar brand'."

 

To find out more about the new Mazda RX-8 R3 or to arrange a test-drive, please call Rivervale Mazda on 01273 707007 or visit the showroom at Victoria Road, Brighton.

MAZDA MX-5 - BRITAIN'S FAVOURITE SPORTS CAR

Rivervale Mazda in Brighton is expecting a rush of customers looking for a breath-taking drive after introducing a number of fantastic deals on the iconic Mazda MX-5, including 0 per cent APR finance* on all models.  The Victoria Road-based dealership is also offering the Mazda Service Plan (valid for the first three annual services) free of charge on all soft-top models until 31 December 2008.

 

The two-seater sports car was recently selected for critical acclaim by automotive experts, who named the Roadster Coupe version ‘Best Convertible’ in the 2008 Auto Express New Car Honours.  The Mazda MX-5 was also crowned ‘Best Roadster’ in the 2008 Auto Express Used Car Honours.  This is the third successive year the model has won the coveted awards. 

 

“With its advanced driving dynamics and incredible handling, it’s no wonder the Mazda MX-5 is the world’s best-selling sports car,” declared Malcolm Hance dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda.  “The Mazda MX-5 is stylish, sporty and exciting, offering the thrill of sports car driving with the added benefits of refinement, security, reliability and affordability.”

 

The multi-award winning Mazda MX-5 sports car has become a legend in its own lifetime and it continues to deliver pure motoring thrills almost 20 years since its debut.  Mazda MX-5 sales in the UK have passed the 90,000 mark and globally Mazda has produced more than 800,000 MX-5 sports cars since production began in April 1989 to claim a unique place in the Guinness Book of Records**.  With on-the-road prices starting at just £15,420, the Mazda MX-5 maintains its positioning as an affordable sports car.  A larger engine with more power and a full complement of modern active and passive safety equipment make it even more of a sports car bargain.

 

The third generation Mazda MX-5 also has improved fuel economy and reduced CO₂ outputs, thanks to Mazda’s weight-reducing ‘gram strategy’.  The soft-top can be opened and closed in just a few seconds, while the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe boasts the world’s fastest-folding powered retractable hard-top ­­–– up or down in just 12 seconds.  

 

Customers can choose from a line-up of soft-top models priced from £15,420 on-the-road or Roadster Coupe models priced from £18,209.  Buyers can choose from three powertrains and a range of individual options and packages.

UPGRADED MAZDA6 SETS NEW CLASS STANDARDS

Rivervale Mazda in Brighton is offering customers a number of great deals on the Mazda6 until the end of the year, including typical 0 per cent APR* finance on all models.

 

Until 31 December 2008, the Victoria Road-based dealership is also offering the Mazda Service Plan free of charge on all models (valid for the first three annual services) and free Smart Nav –– worth £700 –– on Sport and SL models of Mazda6.

 

“The upgraded Mazda6 has retained and enhanced many of the original model’s distinctive design features that set it apart from other vehicles,” comments Malcolm Hance, dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda.  “Not only is this new car one of the most stylish in its class, its performance, practicality and economy figures are amongst the best available.”

 

The current Mazda6 was introduced at the end of 2007 and is an even more stylish, functional and economical car than its predecessor, which was popular with both families and company car drivers.  This year Mazda has introduced 10 diesels and nine estates to complete the 25-strong range, which is priced from £14,891 on-the-road, with CO₂ emissions from just 147g/km.

 

The latest Mazda6 –– named ‘Best New Car’ at the 2008 Fleet World Honours –– has achieved a weight loss of up to 50kg, despite being even better equipped with enhanced comfort and safety features over its predecessor.  Mazda believes that reducing weight and improving the car’s fuel efficiency and CO₂ emissions should not have a detrimental effect on the car’s performance.  The upgraded Mazda6 still competes with the best in its class with the 2.5-litre Sport achieving 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds and a top speed of 137mph.

 

The Mazda6 boasts five equipment levels –– S, TS, TS², Sport and a Sports Luxury ‘SL’ level.  The SL matches the performance of the Sport model but has a more discreet exterior and more luxurious interior, with full leather seats (heated in front), front and rear parking sensors and an electric sunroof

FREE INSURANCE AVAILABLE ON WORLD CAR OF THE YEAR 2008 - THE MAZDA2

 

Rivervale Mazda in Victoria Road is now offering customers a host of special offers on the Mazda2, World Car of the Year 2008, including free insurance.  Buyers (aged between 21 to 70 years) of the Mazda2 3dr Sport models can take advantage of 12 months free insurance on cars registered between 1 October and 31 December 2008. 

 

Drivers can also purchase all versions of the new Mazda2 hatchback at Rivervale Mazda with typical 6.9 per cent APR* finance before the end of December 2008.

 

“The new Mazda2 is one of the very best cars available in the supermini market,” commented Malcolm Hance, dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda.  “It boasts distinctive styling, a spacious cabin and excellent driving dynamics as well as low running costs and low CO₂ emissions.  We encourage everyone to come and take the supermini for a test-drive and experience for themselves why it was voted World Car of the Year 2008.”

 

The Mazda2 5dr, which was introduced in September 2007, broke the industry trend for increasing weight and size with each successive replacement model.  Thanks to Mazda’s weight-reducing ‘gram strategy’, the new Mazda2 is 100kg lighter, leading to excellent fuel consumption –– up to 65.7mpg.  It also gives the range a CO₂ emissions rating starting at 114g/km, equating to an annual road tax rate of just £35.  Occupant safety levels are still amongst the best in class and whilst the three-door model is yet to be tested by Euro NCAP, a best possible five star rating is expected to match the Mazda2 five-door performance.

 

Largely in recognition of Mazda's 'dare to be different approach', the new Mazda2 was named ‘World Car of the Year 2008’ beating a list of 39 other contenders, including the short-listed Ford Mondeo and Mercedes C-Class.  Previous winners of this coveted award include the Lexus LS460, BMW 3-Series and Audi A6.

 

Both the three-door and five-door versions of new Mazda2 share common exterior and interior dimensions.  The differences between the two body styles are the rear seat shoulder room, which is 25mm larger in the five-door model as well as the three-door’s front door being 220mm longer than the five-door.

 

The exceptionally generous standard equipment on the new three-door model of the Mazda2 parallels the five-door’s specification closely with only a few differences.  The three-door model features ‘tilt-and-slide’ front seats to allow access to the rear seats, unique side sills in the Sports Styling Kit and the exclusive availability of Crystal White Pearlescent exterior paint on all models.

 

With a starting price of just £7,930 on-the-road the Mazda2 TS 3dr (1.3-litre, 75ps petrol) is one of the most price-competitive small cars in the UK.  Prices for the Mazda2 5dr start at £8,420 (TS 1.3-litre, 75ps).

 

The most recent additions to the Mazda2 range are the four new Mazda2 1.3 ‘TS Air con’ models, priced from £8,420 (3dr 1.3-litre 75ps), rising to £9,886 for the 5dr 1.4D 68ps.
