Mazda Guide
Mazda has earned a reputation for building stylish, reliable and rewarding cars that often feel more premium than their price tags suggest. Rather than chasing outright performance or the latest technology trends, the Japanese manufacturer focuses on elegant design, high-quality interiors and engaging driving dynamics.
Efficient petrol, hybrid and electric powertrains feature across the range, while Mazda's commitment to craftsmanship helps its models stand out in increasingly crowded market segments. Whether you're looking for an affordable hatchback, a family SUV or one of the world's best-loved sports cars, Mazda continues to offer distinctive alternatives to mainstream rivals.
Current Models

The Mazda2 Hybrid combines Mazda styling with Toyota's proven hybrid technology, creating one of the most efficient and dependable superminis on sale. Comfortable, easy to drive and inexpensive to run, it offers impressively low fuel consumption alongside strong reliability. Although closely related to the Toyota Yaris, Mazda's competitive pricing makes it an attractive alternative for buyers wanting hassle-free motoring.
Mazda 3 (19-) | RRP From : £25,300 Powertrains : MHEV Key rivals : DS No4, Honda Civic, Kia K4, Toyota Corolla, Volkswagen Golf |
Although beginning to show its age against newer rivals, the Mazda3 remains one of the most desirable family hatchbacks on sale. A beautifully finished interior, efficient yet responsive mild hybrid petrol engines and competitive pricing help it remain an excellent all-round choice, while its sharp styling still looks remarkably fresh.
Mazda CX-30 (19-) | RRP From : £27,300 Powertrains : MHEV Key rivals : Citroën C4, Kia Niro, Mercedes GLA, Renault Symbioz, Toyota C-HR |
The CX-30 takes everything that makes the Mazda3 appealing and adds extra practicality, a higher driving position and improved everyday usability. Stylish, comfortable and beautifully built, it remains an excellent choice for buyers wanting a premium-feeling family crossover without the size of a larger SUV.
Mazda 6e (25-) | RRP From : £38,000 Dimensions : 4921 × 1890 × 1491 mm Key rivals : BMW i4, BYD Seal, DS No8, MG IM5, Tesla Model 3 |
The Mazda6e marks Mazda's return to the executive car market with a stylish, spacious electric liftback that places comfort and refinement ahead of outright sportiness. A premium-feeling interior, generous equipment and competitive pricing make it an appealing alternative to more established electric saloons, while its elegant design gives it genuine showroom presence.
Mazda CX-5 (26-) | RRP From : £31,550 Powertrains : MHEV Key rivals : Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Nissan X-Trail, Toyota RAV4, Volkswagen Tiguan |
The all-new CX-5 builds on Mazda's best-selling SUV with more space, improved technology and a refined new mild hybrid petrol engine that successfully combines strong performance with impressive efficiency. A high-quality interior and generous practicality ensure it remains one of the most complete family SUVs on the market.
Mazda CX-60 (22-) | RRP From : £46,945 Powertrains : Diesel MHEV, PHEV Key rivals : BMW X3, DS No7, Lexus NX, MG HS, Volvo XC60 |
The CX-60 moves Mazda firmly into premium SUV territory, offering a beautifully crafted interior, distinctive styling and an unexpectedly capable six-cylinder diesel alongside an efficient plug-in hybrid. Strong desirability and outstanding pre-registered value mean it's often available for little more than a new CX-5, making it one of the smartest buys in its class.
Mazda CX-80 (24-) | RRP From : £50,085 Powertrains : Diesel MHEV, PHEV Key rivals : Audi Q7, Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan X-Trail, Peugeot 5008, Volvo XC90 |
The CX-80 builds on the strengths of the CX-60 by adding genuine seven-seat practicality and significantly more interior space. Premium materials, refined diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains, plus impressive towing capability make it an excellent choice for large families seeking something a little different from the usual SUV options.
Mazda MX-5 (15-) | RRP From : £28,605 Powertrains : Petrol Key rivals : Abarth 500C, BMW 2 Series Coupe, MG Cyberster, Morgan Super 3 |
The MX-5 remains the world's best-selling roadster for good reason.
