Mazda3 & Mazda5 Venture Edition launched

Mazda has launched the Mazda3 Venture and the Mazda5 Venture Edition in the UK, with sporty styling and extra equipment.

So far this year we’ve had the Mazda6 Venture Edition and the Mazda MX-5 Venture Edition to push buyers in to Mazda Showrooms, and now we get two more – the Mazda3 Venture Edition and the Mazda5 Venture Edition to add to the temptations.

Both versions of the Venture Edition are based on Mazda’s TS2 specification with a bit of added sportiness thrown in for more showroom appeal, with a spoiler at the back, side skirts, a sports grill, privacy glass and Fogs. Both the Mazda3 and Mazda5 get new gun metal alloys – 16″ on the Mazda3 and 17″ on the Mazda5.

Interior tweaks include a SatNav, Bluetooth, Climate and Cruise, with the Mazda 3 also getting heated seats and the Mazda 5 a splash of Piano Black trim.

The Mazda3 Venture Edition comes with a choice of the 104bhp 1.6 litre petrol or the 114bhp 1.6 litre diesel, and the Mazda5 with the same 1.6 litre diesel or the 148bhp 2.0 litre petrol.

The Mazda3 Venture Edition costs from £17,495 and the Mazda5 from £19,995, and both Venture Editions are now on sale.
