The Mazda CX-80 is revealed ahead of arriving in the UK in the autumn, a seven-seat SUV sitting above the CX-60 and costing from £48,920. The new Mazda CX-80 is revealed as a new range-topping model for the UK, taking aim at cars like the Volvo XC90 and sitting above the CX-60 on which it’s […]

Mazda reveals price and spec details for the 2024 Mazda MX-5, available as a Roadster and RF in three trim levels with two engine options. The current Mazda MX-5 has been with us, pretty much unchanged since 2015, despite which it continues to sell well, with 25,000 sold in the UK alone in that time. […]

The 2024 Mazda2 Hybrid was revealed last year and will go on sale in the UK in March with a choice of four trim levels. Two years ago, Mazda revealed the Mazda2 Hybrid which, you would reasonably expect, would be an ICE Mazda2 with a hybrid powertrain. But it wasn’t. Instead, Mazda announced that the […]

But that’s a lot of […]

The recently revealed Mazda CX-60 – aimed at cars like the BMW X3 – gets a new 3.3-litre in-line six diesel option.
