IN pursuit of its mission to bring about a beautiful earth while enriching people’s lives and uplift society through the value found in its products, Mazda Philippines once again raises the bar for style and technology at the 7th Philippine International Motor Show. The premium Japanese brand will showcase a lineup featuring the latest evolution of its Kodo: Soul of Motion design language and the most advanced SKYACTIV Technology suite of engineering solutions available to date.
All new for model year 2019 is an exquisite range of nameplates highlighting the latest rendition of Mazda’s signature design philosophy as well as groundbreaking engineering innovations that introduce the next-generation direction of SKYACTIV Technology.
The venerable Mazda6 leads the way with a fresh new look penned to evoke dynamism and emotion. With heightened improvements in dynamic handling, an even more luxurious riding feel with its quieter and smoother cabin, and more powerful 2.2-liter SKYACTIV-D engine and more fuel efficient 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine options, the Mazda6 brings class-above quality and drivability to a new generation of car owners who value an exhilarating premium driving experience.
Championing Mazda’s crossover lineup is an all-new introduction to its flagship CX-9 model range. The CX-9 Signature is Mazda’s most luxurious vehicle to date and it features an even more elegant interior lined with meticulously crafted Rosewood trim and Nappa leather seats in all three rows. The CX-9 Signature is the true pinnacle of class and refinement in the realm of 7-seater crossovers.
Both the 2019 Mazda6 and CX-9 continue to come with G-Vectoring Control, the realization of Mazda SKYACTIV Vehicle Dynamics designed to help achieve a smoother, more engaging ride. And to further complement the improved driving experience for the CX-9, it is now equipped with Apple Car Play and Android Auto which enhance connectivity and improve interaction between the car and driver.
To highlight the brand’s all-encompassing Jinba Ittai or horse and rider driving ethos, the world’s most popular sports car, the MX-5 open-top, two-seat Roadster, shall once again be the centerpiece of the brand’s presence at the 7th PIMS. Now with a higher-revving 184-ps SKYACTIV-G 2-liter gasoline motor and telescopic steering wheel adjustment across the new model range, the 2019 MX-5 in both soft-top coupe and RF lines, continue to heighten the sensation of top-down sports car driving to a whole new level.
Patrons of the 7th PIMS shall also see the full lineup of Mazda vehicles which include award-winning models packed with the updated SKYACTIV body, chassis, engine and driving dynamics technologies and innovations designed to bridge next-generation technology and current-day demands.
