The 2016 Mazda3 Wins Numerous Awards for Safety and Value

Mazda3 1

Every year the newest models of cars fight tooth and nail for awards from a variety of companies. These companies award titles such as highest economic value or best crash ratings. Mazda continually crafts cars that top the charts, and the heavily-awarded Mazda3 continues this tradition. The 2016 Mazda3 handily beat out its competitors and was even named the 2016 Best Car Brand by U.S. News and World Report.

 

The Mazda3 has received several upgrades and improvements for this model year which caught critics’ eyes. The changes helped the company earn several honors, including being named the most fuel-efficient auto manufacturer in the United States by the EPA. The Mazda3 is a perfect representation of this fuel-efficiency, with benchmarks of 41 highway mpg and 30 mpg average in the city. The greater efficiency doesn’t take away from the vehicle’s ability to exhilarate though; the 2.0-liter engine still packs a punch and creates a thrilling driving experience.

 

The Mazda3 also tops the charts in terms of safety. Thanks to the implementation of a Smart City Brake Support System, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the Mazda3 a 2016 Top Safety Pick Plus. The Mazda3 also achieved a 5-star crash test safety rating from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a great accolade that any family car should have.

Mazda Looks To Upgrade New Models With Diesel Engines

mazda

With the Mazda3 and Mazda6 receiving new makeovers and updates for 2017, Mazda also announced information about an upgrade in development which shows promise. Mazda has been working on implementing a diesel engine option for these two cars, which would improve upon the current gas powered units and increase car durability and performance. After much speculation as to if Mazda had committed to the technology, a timeline for the release of a diesel engine in America has been confirmed.

 

While developing any new technology, especially a new diesel engine, can be difficult, Mazda is undertaking this task due to inherent advantages in the technology. A major improvement is that diesel engines do not need a spark plug, which leads to less maintenance problems and greater vehicle longevity. This means lower equipment costs and fewer problems. Additionally, diesel engines used to be noisy and difficult, but newer technological developments have reduced the noise and made them more durable. The fuel also runs at a lower temperature that causes less damage to the engine. This allows diesel engines to last two to three times longer than a gas engine before needing maintenance.

 

Mazda is optimizing diesel engines to meet U.S. emission standards while still providing an exhilarating drive. These engines have already been implemented in cars in Japan and received critical acclaim, but U.S. emission standards are far stricter and Mazda is working to drive down emissions while maintaining the thrill of driving. Diesel engines will revolutionize the way the Mazda3 and Mazda6 drive, be sure to check out Cardinale Mazda In Salinas for these engines soon.

No matter your route or destination, the Mazda6 will get the whole crew there in safety and style.

The Mazda6 is just as powerful as it is safe, and every model features an adrenaline pumping 184-hp 2.5-liter engine with six-speed transmission, conveniently available in manual or automatic. Additional features such as a seven-inch infotainment console and adaptive cruise control create an enjoyable driving experience that will make your drive to work a breeze. The Mazda6 is a pleasure to drive regardless of the destination or passengers, and both can definitely add to the excitement.
