Add Mazda to the list of brands that have recently increased the pricing of most of their models on sale in Australia.
Yep, the Mazda2 light car, Mazda3 small car, Mazda6 mid-size car, CX-3 light SUV, CX-30 small SUV, CX-9 large SUV, MX-5 sports car and BT-50 ute (see separate story) have all been caught up in the latest round of price rises.
Excluding their entry-level Pure grade, the Mazda2, Mazda3 and CX-30 are now $100 more expensive range-wide (see full pricing tables below).
Meanwhile, the Mazda6’s cheapest three variants have jumped $300, while the other five have moved up $400.
Only the CX-3’s entry-level Neo Sport and Maxx Sport grades have dodged the adjustments, with the rest of its line-up rising $100.
Similarly, the CX-9’s entry-level Sport grade is unchanged, but the rest of its range has become $100 dearer, excluding the flagship Azami AWD versions that’ve instead been upped by $130.
The recently updated MX-5 has increased by $100 across its line-up.
A Mazda Australia spokesperson told CarsGuide no changes have been made to the standard equipment of the affected models.
“Market changes, raw materials and production costs and currency fluctuations among other factors can all affect price setting. Mazda made a small price increase on some models in January to reflect those changes,” they said.
Of note, the CX-5 mid-size SUV and CX-8 large SUV were updated in the past month, while the MX-30 small SUV is the only model to have not made a change in 2022.
