NEW DIESEL MODELS ENHANCE MAZDA2 LINE-UP AT RIVERVALE MAZDA

The expanded Spring 2009 Mazda2 range is now available at Rivervale Mazda with
0 per cent APR* finance. The Mazda2 line-up features a number of exterior and interior enhancements, plus the introduction of two Special Edition 'Tamura' models and two new 1.6D Sport models, that make the 12-strong model range even more attractive.

 

Until 30 June 2009, the Victoria Road showroom is offering drivers the chance to purchase all Mazda2 models with typical 0 per cent APR* finance with a minimum 50 per cent deposit required.

 

"We expect the 2009 line-up, with its significant design and specification upgrades, plus the incredibly fuel-efficient new diesel Sport models and the stylish looking Tamura Special Edition models, to strongly appeal to customers," commented Malcolm Hance, dealer principal at Rivervale Mazda. "The Mazda2 is one of the very best cars available in the supermini market and boasts a spacious cabin and excellent driving dynamics as well as low running costs and low CO2 emissions."

 

The new 1.6-litre diesel engine is available in the Mazda2 Sport in both 3dr and 5dr body styles, offering an unrivalled, class-best blend of performance and fuel economy. The Mazda2 1.6D accelerates to 62mph in 11.4 seconds, achieves 67.3 mpg (combined cycle) and has a CO2 rating of only 112 g/km, qualifying for Band B annual road tax of just £35.

 

For a limited period in 2009, two Special Edition 'Tamura' models (based on the TS2) will be available. Powered by a 1.3 86ps petrol engine, these cars offer the look of the Mazda2 Sport in an even more affordable form, with great appeal to younger drivers. The Mazda2 Tamura 3dr costs £10,275 and the 5dr £10,775 (on-the-road).

 

Equipment levels on Mazda2 are extremely generous. For 2009, specification upgrades on Mazda2 TS models include air-conditioning as standard, two remote jack-knife keys for the remote central locking with deadlocks and silver bezels on the steering wheel. The Mazda2 TS2 (from £9,878) has interior design updates with silver door handles, air-conditioning dials and gear knob decoration, plus a matt black centre console and dark-grey door trim inserts.

 

Occupant safety levels are amongst the best in class, with the Mazda2 5dr achieving a five-Star EuroNCAP crash test safety rating. The three-door also benefits from the same level of safety design, engineering and equipment.
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.
With a starting price of just £8,899 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 £9,399 (TS 1.3-litre, 75ps).
