What’s waiting for 2011 from Mazda?

Going on the list of new car for 2011 by Mazda

Mazda 2 All new for this year, the Mazda 2 enters the market in Sport and Touring trim levels. Together arrive with a 1.5-liter DOHC 16-valve inline-4 and a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The Sport has 15-inch steel wheels with covers, while the Touring has 15-inch alloys. The Touring model also adds fog lights, a rear roof spoiler, chrome exhaust tips, leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, upgraded cloth interior, steering-wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls and a trip computer.

Mazda 3 The Mazda 3 was redesigned for 2010 and as a result only slight package/option changes arise now. These contain rain-sensing front wipers, auto on/off headlights, auto-levelling adaptive bi-xenon headlights and LED rear combination taillights for the Technology package. Traction and stability control have been added to all models. Automatic power door locks were added to the four-door iSV and Sport models. S and GT models get standard 10-Speaker Bose surround sound, an in-dash six-disc CD changer and a moon roof. There are also various colour option changes and a “low coolant temperature” warning light.

Mazda 5 There is no new Mazda 5 for 2011. Instead, Mazda promise to offer a completely redesigned Mazda 5 for 2012.

Mazda 6 Mazda 6 Touring with a manual transmission joins the SV trim as those killed off this year. The 2011 Mazda 6 gets new 17-inch wheels, a new headlight design, new fog lights and, on Touring Plus and Grand Touring models, folding mirrors with turn signal lamps. Ingot Silver and Techno White Pearl paint takes the place of the deleted Brilliant Silver Metallic and Performance White. On the interior there's new cloth seating material, a new steering wheel, new instrument panel trim accents, stitched vinyl armrests and standard floor mats. Fuel economy is up across the board for the 2011 Mazda 6, with the four-cylinder automatic now returning 22/31 mpg.

Mazda CX-7 For 2011, the naturally aspirated, 161-hp 2.5-liter was added to the all-new iTouring model. 4.1-inch colour screen and rear-view cameras are standard on the iTouring. The MZR 2.3L DISI turbo engine is still accessible on upper-level CX-7s, producing 244 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.

Mazda CX-9 After a mass of improvements for the previous year, the Mazda CX-9 stays basically the similar for 2011. New 18- and 20-inch wheels are the only changes.

Mazdaspeed 3 For 2011 the Mazdaspeed 3 gets all the same updates as the standard Mazda 3.

Mazda MX-5 Miata The MX-5 comes into 2011 almost untouched. Major upgrades were in 2009 and there were colour changes in 2010. The body-colored power-retractable hardtop is only accessible on Touring and Grand Touring models for 2011. Chrome surface door handles and headlight bezels accent the exterior of the 2011 and the interior is tweaked with a deleted storage compartment behind the rear seat; the top actuator button is now over the auto controls.

Mazda RX-8 The 2011 Mazda RX-8 is unaffected from 2010, though Aurora Blue Mica has been deleted.

Mazda Tribute There are no changes to the Ford Escape-based 2011 Mazda Tribute.
