MAZDA RECOGNIZED AS BEST CAR BRAND BY U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT

Since 2007, U.S. News & World Report has developed an innovative rankings system for vehicle brands, spanning more than 30 classes of cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, wagons and sports cars. Scores are based on the consensus opinion of America’s trusted automotive experts, as well as reliability and safety data.

For three consecutive years, Mazda has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report with the Best Car Brand award. Mazda is consistently celebrated for its engaging driving dynamics, accommodating seats, attractive cabin designs and innovative technology. This year’s award highlighted three remarkable Mazda models:

Mazda3

The Mazda3 was highlighted for its outstanding comfort features, offering a more luxurious cabin than many other vehicles of a comparable value. It’s also highly efficient, getting up to 36 mpg on the highway and 28mpg in the city. And with 4-door or 5-door styles, you can pick the Mazda3 that best suits your routine (the hatchback model can even hold a snowboard or bicycle if you fold down the seats).

Mazda6

The roominess of the Mazda6 was called out by U.S. News & World Report, which noted that it’s an excellent car for a small family. And with up to 35 mpg on the highway, it’s almost as efficient as the Mazda3. Bonus? Driving a Mazda6 means you’re exceptionally safe, as it continues to receive exceptionally high crash test ratings. 2018 marks the first time that the Mazda6 has included a Dynamic Pressure Turbocharged SKYACTIV®-G 2.5T engine. Delivering up to 250 HP1 and 310 lb-ft of torque, it’s engineered to be ultra-responsive at low RPMs, with power to spare when you’re already off and running.

MX-5 Miata & MX-5 Miata RF

U.S. News & World Report noted that while two-door vehicles aren’t always considered practical, the MX-5 Miata and MX-5 Miata RF are surprising standouts. With up to 35 mpg on the highway, the MX-5 Miata and MX-5 Miata RF excel in the sports car market. They also feature innovative safety features, including blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alerts, and lane departure warnings. And what better way to enjoy the warm Kentucky weather than a ride in a convertible? The MX-5 Miata and MX-5 Miata RF delivers the experience, available with a classic black or just-released dark cherry soft top option.
