You can now buy 400 hp nissan Z for less than the Mazda MX-5
Dealers are offering serious deals on Nissan Z, and new tariffs show they won't last long Several Nissan Z models are now listed with a discount of $10,000 or more. The base ZS's base Z has 400 hp and a manual transmission for under $37,000. The new 25% tariff on all car imports may soon raise the price of Z. Sports cars may not move the volume they used to do, but for enthusiasts who still care about rear-wheel drive and proper power, these options are surprising if you know where to look. The Nissan Z is a retro-style sports car with a lot of power and a great chassis. Nevertheless, Nissan sells much less sales than Ford and Mustang (44,003 in 2024) than the ZS. Some of them depend on availability, but largely it has to do with price. The Mustang starts at less than $32,000. Z starts at about $11,000 for $42,970 before delivery. Well, now that the…
Mazda CX-6E disconnects the cover and looks like our Tesla model
Mazda's upcoming CX-6E was monitored for testing for the first time. The compact electric SUV is being developed with the 6E sedan. This is the reshaping of the Deepal S07 of Chinese automaker Changan. Mazda's electrification attempts have not been great so far. The MX-30 BEV has been criticized for its small practice range, and we ran the CX-60 PHEV for six months as refined as crude oil. But Mazda could be a serious contender for electric car buyers when the CX-6E is paired with the Tesla Model Y for the next 18 months. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que :()}; adpushup.que.push(function(){if(adpushup.config.platform!=="Desktop"){adpushup.triggerad("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-4db4-8135 c5088799a76a76a76f8") adpushup.triggerad("82503191-E1D1-435A-874F-9C78A2A54A2F"); These spy shots show the compact electric SUV, which Mazda teased last week, on test for the first time, and from what we can see, it looks very close to the Arata concept Mazda criticized in 2024.

New Mazda electric SUV may eventually give models
It is named China's Mazda EZ-60, which may arrive in Europe as a CX-6E Mazda has just dropped a new trailer to focus on the upcoming Electry EZ-60 crossover. The EZ-60 is very similar to the Arata concept shown at last year's Beijing Auto Show. It is expected to be available as a CX-6E in pure electrical and range extender form. The concept cars are all fun and the percentage of games is very low. Today’s numbers are just a little touching, though, as it looks like Mazda will make the Arata concept almost unchanged. In China at least, the production version will be called the EZ-60, although it will enjoy different badges in other markets. Mazda hopes this landing is better than the unstoppable MX-30. You may remember our recent reports that the European version of this electric SUV may end up being called the CX-6E. This is tracked because Mazda has just taken a similar move with the…
2025 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid Premium Plus
Photos of Dustin W. Johnson Off-road popularity The vehicle not only affected Jeep Wrangler and Ford F-150 Raptor sales. This leads to the vehicularization that has never been tried before or is able to drive a more challenging vehicle than Starbucks. This explains the growth of Honda’s Trailsport lineup, the current Hyundai Santa Fe’s Land Rover Defender-style route and the vehicles you see here. In November 2021, Mazda revealed its first ever 2023 CX-50, a vehicle that has "enables drivers to venture further into the outdoors and various terrains." When you compare the CX-50 to the CX-5, you see that focus. When I brought home the long gray metal 2025 CX-50 Hybrid Premium Plus (MSRP: $41,920) I had the chance to do it, for a few nights, parked it next to my wife's CX-5.

Four Mazda models are being discontinued this year, but one
It is reported that by the end of 2025, four Mazda models will be discontinued. Death-in-law cells include crossovers, cars, vans and even hatches. Not surprisingly, only SUVs are expected to acquire successors in the future. Mazda's future roster is shaping an exciting lineup, with a new generation of popular CX-5 and a hybrid rotary sports car in the works.

Mazda driver escapes 20 miles before the pit ends
During the chase, the officer's pit-style manipulation leads to direct collapse, highlighting the dangers of aggressive pursuit techniques Georgia police chased the Mazda 3 for 20 miles before using the pit. The high-speed chase reached a speed of 100 mph and nearly avoided a crash. Police chase ends with the collision with Chevrolet Malibu and Toyota Camry. The recent police chase in Georgia once again reminds how far the police are willing to go when the suspect refuses to stop.

What is the best four-door equal to the Mazda Miata?
If the Miata is always the answer to an affordable two-door car with excellent driving dynamics, what is the answer when you need four doors? Mazda's MX-5 is widely regarded as one of the best everyday cars for enthusiasts. Our QOTD is when two more doors have to be added, which four-door car is the best choice. Miata is always the answer. This is the independent abbreviation of Mazda's long-standing two-door sports car, also known as the MX-5. Performance enthusiasts have attracted attention with such high attention for a variety of reasons. It is relatively cheap with excellent chassis dynamics, it provides excellent feedback and, most importantly, the maintenance is fairly cheaper over time, not to mention reliable. But what should you do when you need the same qualities as Mazda’s most famous model in a four-door car? The easiest route here might be to look at other Mazda models, but we immediately ran into a problem: the Mazda6 sedan…

Toyota’s next GR86 may be Mazda and Turbo
The third-generation GR86 will be reportedly joining the upcoming Celica, MR2 and GR Supra in Toyota's expanded sports car lineup The successor of the GR86 was reportedly developed entirely by Toyota. According to the latest report, Mazda engineers may have been involved in the project. The next coupe will retain the FR layout, although it can ride on a new base. Toyota Tar Racing has a lot in its plate over the next few years, including the return of the Celica and the mid-sized MR2 successor. You might think these models will make the GR86 feel redundant, but surprisingly, Toyota has no plans to kill the affordable RWD sports coupe. In fact, new reports indicate that there is already a new generation. The original Toyota 86 debuted at the end of 2011 and was replaced by the GR86 in 2020. Given the timeline, it is reasonable to expect the third generation to arrive by the end of the decade, with…
Choice of the day: 1976 Mazda Cosmo
The Japanese are strange Tax structure in the automotive side - taxes based on consumption expenditure and net weight, and there are taxes based on engine size. That's why KEI cars have become a thing in Japan, and that's why Mazda uses Wankel's rotating engine. Our choice for the day was JDM vehicles, which offer both rotary and piston engines, can you guess which one is more popular in its domestic market? In 1976, Mazda Cosmo was listed on ClassicCars.com in a dealership in Christian Fort, Virginia. Mazda's first official flirting with the Wankel Rotary Engine was on the 1967-72 Mazda Cosmo, a fun vehicle that is arguably comparable to the Toyota 2000GT. There are few rotary engines, but it punches an oversized hole punch, making it attractive to engineers and Japanese consumers. Mazda brought its car to Nürburgrgring to prove its durability, as the engine remains the most novel novelty in the world since NSU (the company that Felix…
Mazda settles lawsuit, 4 drivers can reach $4K,
The lawsuit claims that the infotainment system is frozen, stuck in a boot loop or fails entirely. MAZDA2, MAZDA3, MAZDA6, CX-3, CX-5, CX-9 and MX-5 are affected by the problem. Despite the solution, Mazda has denied all allegations of negligence in the system. Mazda owners who deal with the faulty infotainment screen may eventually see some relief. But, as often happens, the biggest payday won’t go to the affected driver, which will turn to the attorney who leads the allegation.

What else should you buy besides the MG 3?
this machine gun 3 It has been Australia's best-selling light car for many years, partly due to its affordable price, and it continues that momentum in 2024 with the arrival of a new generation of models. Last year, MG 3 registrations totaled 12,563 units, more than double the number of its closest rival, the Suzuki Swift (6126 units), which is also due to launch a new generation model in 2024. This new MG 3 hatchback is quite different from the budget-oriented model it replaces. Most notably, it no longer holds the crown as Australia's cheapest new car on sale - that title is now held by the smaller Kia Picanto. Another big change is the introduction of hybrid powertrains. This means the Toyota Yaris Hybrid finally has a competitor in this segment. It's worth noting that while the new Suzuki Swift is called a hybrid, it's only a mild hybrid and can't drive the vehicle on electricity alone. Hundreds of…

A new Mazda CX-50 Turbo wrapped in plastic
Imagine finding a brand new $43,000 CX-50 with no license plate waiting outside your workplace on New Year's Day, and no one has come to claim it for days.

A brand new Mazda CX-50 Turbo sat in an empty university parking lot completely unclaimed and without a license plate, leaving everyone scratching their heads. Did Santa take a wrong turn, or is there a more reasonable explanation for this car orphan? The compact SUV was first spotted on New Year's Eve by Reddit user Jack Buckley, who works nearby.

Honda S2000-style Mazda MX-5 NC looks happier
This Modified Mazda MX-5 Wants to Be a Honda S2000 When It Grows Up It's based on the MX-5 NC and looks clean despite being nearly 17 years old. Striking looks combine with performance and chassis upgrades. Mazda MX-5 NC: Heavier, more comfortable, the unsung hero of the Miata lineup, at least on the Internet.
