KNYSNA, Western Cape -Since Mazda’s solo ‘re-birth’ in South Africa – no longer a brand found under the umbrella of the Ford Motor Company – it now stands tall, strong and independent right around the globe.
In just a few months (September 2014) Mazda has re-entered the South African motoring market with three competitive models: the CX5, the new ‘3’ range and the flagship Mazda6.
Incidentally, that Mazda ‘3’ line-up is doing particularly well for this innovative and revitalised Japanese automaker. As an example to emphasise the brand’s popularity in South Africa it claims to outsell Ford’s Focus (January 2015) by a significant margin and the diesel-powered CX5 SUV resoundingly managed to better Honda CRV sales during the same period.
