Mazda has been an integral part of South Africa's motoring landscape for over five decades, crafting vehicles that bring the joy of driving to generations of enthusiasts. Our journey has been one of resilience, innovation, and independence. A pivotal moment in our history was becoming independent from Ford, allowing us to define our path and strengthen our commitment to human-centric design and advanced engineering.
Mazda’s history in South Africa is marked by landmark models that have set new standards in their respective segments. The launch of the CX-5 introduced Skyactiv technology to our customers, delivering a perfect balance of efficiency, performance, and design. Meanwhile, the legendary MX-5 became an icon of lightweight, exhilarating driving, embodying the spirit of connection between car and driver. These milestones laid a solid foundation for a brand that consistently pushes boundaries, ensuring that every Mazda is crafted with uncompromising luxury and an unwavering focus on the driver.
Heritage is the backbone of our progress, and through continuous innovation and technology, we continue to move beyond expectations. Skyactiv technology remains central to our philosophy, optimizing every aspect of the driving experience. Whether it's efficiency, performance, or sustainability, we engineer vehicles that create a sense of connection and confidence while minimizing environmental impact.
Mazda's CX SUV range is designed for every lifestyle, seamlessly blending performance, fuel efficiency, and human comfort with KODO: Soul of Motion design. The CX-3, CX-30, and CX-5 offer versatility and driving confidence, while Mazda CX-60—our flagship SUV—brings next-level refinement and innovation. Featuring a 3.3L turbo diesel mild hybrid engine, the CX-60 delivers impressive power (187kW and 550Nm) with enhanced efficiency, marking a bold step forward in Mazda's commitment to performance and sustainability. Now available in South Africa, this model combines a striking design with cutting-edge technology, such as the Driver Personalisation System, ensuring a tailored driving experience.
Customer experience remains at the core of Mazda's journey. Guided by the Japanese philosophy of Omotenashi – thoughtful hospitality – we go beyond the vehicle to enhance every aspect of ownership. With our industry-leading 5-year unlimited kilometre service plan, warranty, and roadside assistance, we provide peace of mind and confidence in every journey. Our dealer network is strategically evolving to serve our customers better, ensuring Mazda remains a trusted and accessible brand throughout South Africa.
Our legacy is one of independence, innovation, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence. From our early days to the introduction of iconic models, Mazda has remained deeply committed to this market, shaping the future while honouring our rich past. We are not just creating cars; we are crafting experiences that bring the joy of driving to life.
With Mazda, Wonderrrr truly awaits.
