The threat of fully autonomous driving is, realistically, decades away. We want to celebrate the fun of driving while we still can, but we also want to do it on a budget.

Mazda’s Canadian EV plans start to take shape.

The Mazda CX-5 comes with an impressive list of standard features for an affordable sport utility vehicle. In addition to the standard and optional features, the automaker offers a variety of Mazda CX-5 accessories that make it a better vehicle for each individual owner, but there are some things that you can’t get from the dealership. Of course, if you buy your Mazda SUV from a private buyer, you cannot add accessories to the final bill and that is why the automaker aftermarket is such a thriving industry.

It’s a bit hard to believe that 26 years ago, no one really knew what a Mazda Miata was.

I’d like to introduce you to a long-time friend and enemy of mine. It’s called the Snow Belt.

Despite what the Detroit-based automakers will tell you, there remains a market for small and mid-sized cars.

Each year the team at J.D. Power reveals what mainstream car brands owners find most appealing. This year, you might be surprised at the results.

Mazda has been a popular brand in North America for ages now and is well regarded by enthusiasts for the massively fun MX-5 Miata, along with its well-sorted lineup of spritely sedans and crossovers.

It’s a big win for Kia’s biggest vehicle; Soul EV picks up award too, alongside two wins for Porsche and one for Mazda.

The Electric Vehicle (EV) market continues to grow—giving the electric-curious among us more to learn about while expanding the range of options available to the in-market shopper.

The crossover boom is inescapable, even for Mazda, a marque long revered as the maker of fun-to-drive, reasonably priced cars. Its Mazda3 compact sedan formerly served as a gateway into the brand, but even it waned in popularity with the rise of enthusiasts’ least-favorite mildly lifted segment. Thus, the CX-3 crossover was born to woo singles and small families into a Mazda with an entry-level subcompact crossover.

After showcasing the CX-30 at the Geneva Motorshow this year, Mazda has finally announced the pricing of its coupe-esque SUV for the North American market. The MSRP for the CX-30 starts from $21,900 and goes up to $29,600 for the Premium top trim. Prices exclude the $1045 destination fee. The CX-30 fills the gap between the CX-3 and CX-5 crossovers. It is about six inches shorter than the CX-5 and features a wheelbase that is two inches shorter and is also narrower by two inches.  Compared to its competitors like the Nissan Rogue Sport, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and the Subaru Crosstrek, it is slightly longer than the Rogue but smaller than the other two. But in profile looks uncannily similar to the CX-5. You could even call it the coupe version of the CX.
