New Cars for 2013: Mazda

Charting the changes for the 2013.

Mazda
CX-5: see comparo

CX-9: Mazda's three-row SUV carries over as is until a redesigned model arrives in 2013 with the fuel-saving, zesty-driving Skyactiv technology. It's possible that the CX-9 will get what is likely to be Mazda's first modern turbo-diesel in the U.S., a 2.2-liter.

MX-5 Miata (shown above): Until the next gen appears in 2014 on a platform Mazda will share with Alfa Romeo, the Miata gets a new front fascia, new colors, a tan-top option, a redesigned wind blocker, and interior trim changes. The mid-level Touring has been replaced by a racier Club edition with 17-inch gunmetal wheels, an air dam, black mirrors, and special red stitching and interior materials.

6: A completely redesigned 6 will debut as a 2014 model at September's Paris auto show and appear in dealerships in January 2013. Unlike it does with the current 6, Mazda will build only one size for the world, with flowing sheetmetal based on the Takeri concept from last year's Tokyo show. Basic dimensions will fall somewhere between those of the current U.S. model and the shorter, narrower Euro version. The V-6 will be dropped in favor of Skyactiv fours, including the 2.2-liter turbo-diesel.

he Real Spin on Mazda for 2013 - New Cars

Mazda makes it a habit of building fun-to-drive vehicles. But can Mazda, and its new SkyActiv technology, help translate this sporty nature into sales success?

By Nick Kurczewski
You have to love a car company that came up with the Miata roadster, made a minivan that was actually enjoyable to drive, and persevered with an engine named “Wankel.” Whether you’re behind the wheel of a classic rotary-powered RX-7, or driving a brand new Mazda2 hatchback, this underdog of the Japanese auto industry is one of the best when it comes to building cars that make you smile. Even better is that Mazda doesn’t reserve the best bits for its most expensive offerings. Sure, the 2-passenger MX-5 Miata has wonderfully nimble steering and one of the best manual gearboxes in the business. But if you your budget doesn’t stretch to a drop-top – or you need way more load-lugging space – that same level of feel-some mechanicals can be found in the brand’s entry-level Mazda2, or the Mazda5 family wagon. With its new SkyActiv technology, Mazda is streamlining the way it builds cars. The goal is to offer improved fuel mileage and even better driving dynamics. Will that be enough to get Mazda vehicles zooming off dealership lots?
Reasons to Check Out a Mazda in 2013:
  1. Mazda's SkyActiv technology is actually a suite of refinements, all aimed at reducing friction and weight throughout the chassis and powertrain. Think of it as Mazda building a car, then taking it to the gym to get rid of any extra pounds. In the 2012 Mazda3, SkyActiv helps boost overall fuel economy by approximately 30-percent, to 28/40-mpg in a Mazda3 5-door equipped with an automatic transmission.
  2. The new CX-5 crossover has been a smash success for Mazda. Sales have already exceeded supply, and Mazda is busy churning out more of these agile and handsome little sport-utes as fast as it can. This is the first Mazda built from the ground up with SkyActiv and the result is class leading fuel economy, along with sharp steering and well-controlled suspension. A little more horsepower would be nice, however.
  3. Big changes are coming to the Mazda6, the brand's worthy (but often overlooked) midsize sedan. Set to arrive for the 2014 model year, the next Mazda6 should borrow styling from the slinky Takeri Concept, first seen at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show. The Takeri's larger and more prominent front grille, along with its sweeping front fenders, should help Mazda's next family sedan turn some heads. The car will include a fuel-saving stop/start system and a regenerative braking system called i-ELOOP. Instead of a battery, energy is stored in a capacitor, which in turn provides power to the vehicle's electrical components. It's cool tech, but we wish Mazda hadn't given it a name that sounds like the Muppet's Swedish Chef telling us he's getting hitched tonight in Las Vegas.
  4. Mazda Takeri Concept

  5. If you think the Mazda MX-5 Miata is a 'girlie car,' then stop reading and go bury your head back in the sand. This rear-wheel drive roadster is one of the most perfectly balanced sports cars to be found in any price range. And yes, we said it, the Miata is a sports car – and we're totally comfortable with it. The next model will be co-developed with Alfa Romeo and will feature bolder styling, more cabin room, and possibly a turbocharged 1.3 or 1.5-liter 4-cylinder.

Safety Check: Tips on Getting Around Safely


Whether you’re a new or experienced driver, following these common sense tips can help keep you, your passengers and your car safe, and your premiums low.
Before You Get Behind the Wheel
  • Keep up with car maintenance - Well-maintained cars are safer cars, so make sure you change your oil on a regular basis and make sure all the parts of your car (engine, tires, belts, hoses, mirrors, windows, windshield wipers, lights, horn, etc.) are working properly.
  • Consider installing a car alarm to deter potential thieves.
  • Plan ahead - Consider the safest route and give yourself enough time to get to your destination so you don’t feel the need to speed.
  • Check the forecast to find out if severe weather is expected when and where you’re driving, then plan your trip accordingly.
  • Be prepared for emergencies - All drivers should prepare an emergency road kit and store it in the trunk of their vehicle. Suggested items include a flashlight, road flares, a first aid kit, blanket, water, road atlas and warm clothes for use in the winter season.
When Driving
  • Don’t drive tired - Make sure you’re well rested and alert for your journey.
  • Avoid driving distracted - Put down the cell phone, food, hairbrush and makeup. Avoid adjusting the radio, heater/air conditioner. Stay focused on the road ahead instead of the scenic view and any accidents that might be on the side of the road.
  • Follow the driving laws - Buckle up, maintain a safe distance from other cars, stay out of the passing lane if you’re not passing another vehicle, etc.
  • Never operate a vehicle while impaired - An auto should never be operated if you drink alcohol or take drugs. Once they're consumed, alcohol or drugs immediately impair your judgment, reaction time slows, and emotions and behavior become exaggerated. If you operate a motor vehicle while impaired, you jeopardize not only your life, but also the lives of others.
  • Be patient and considerate to other drivers - It's important to treat other drivers as you would want to be treated. Aggressive driving, following too close and using high beams improperly are all examples of actions that can lead to serious accidents.
When You Park Your Car

  • Keep your doors locked and windows rolled up, and take your keys with you. Don’t make it easy for thieves to steal your car or the items in it.
  • Remove valuable items from your car or keep them out of plain site so thieves won’t be tempted to break in and steal them.
  • Park your car in a well-lit, well-traveled area.
  • Avoid parking next to large vehicles or any objects (dumpsters, large trees or shrubbery, etc.) that someone could easily hide behind.
If You Have a Breakdown
If you’re in an accident or your car breaks down, safety should be your first concern. Getting out of the car at a busy intersection or on a highway to change a tire or check damage from a fender bender is probably one of the worst things you can do. The Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) recommends the following precautions when your car breaks down:
  • Never get out of the vehicle to make a repair or examine the damage on a busy highway. Get the vehicle to a safe place before getting out. If you've been involved in an accident, motion the other driver to pull up to a safe spot ahead.
  • If you can’t drive the vehicle, it may be safer to stay in the vehicle and wait for help or use a cell phone to summon help. Under most circumstances standing outside the vehicle in the flow of traffic is a bad idea.
  • Carry flares or triangles to use to mark your location once you get to the side of the road. Marking your vehicle’s location to give other drivers advance warning can be critical. Remember to put on your hazard lights!
  • In the case of a blowout or a flat tire, move the vehicle to a safer place before attempting a repair—even if it means destroying the wheel getting there. The cost of a tire, rim or wheel is minor compared to endangering your safety.
