#2 2021 MAZDA MX-5 MIATA 100TH ANNIVERSARY
In 2020, Mazda celebrated 100 years since its establishment, and to commemorate this monumental date in the company’s history, released exclusive 100th Anniversary edition for most cars in its range. In 2021, one of those is finally making it to the US shores.
#3 2021 Mazda BT-50

#4 2021 Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo
The new turbo-powered 2021 Mazda3 once again proves that a small and relatively affordable car doesn’t have to be boring.

#5 Mazda 6 & CX-5 & CX-9 Carbon Edition
Mazda’s upper market entries are not getting significant mechanical or design changes in 2021, but the trio of flagships represented by the Mazda 6 sedan, CX5 and CX9 SUVs all share the exclusive special trim on the North American market.

Mazda RX-VISION GT3 CONCEPT is one of the newest additions to the Sony PlayStation’s exclusive Gran Turismo Sport series. The model is based on the real RX-Vision concept first shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2015.

#7 2021 MAZDA CX-30 2.5 TURBO
The naturally aspirated SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L with 186 horsepower, used to be the most powerful mill on offer by Mazda’s subcompact crossover CX-30. In 2021, the engine roster has grown to include a turbocharged version of the mill, the same one already been presented for the Mazda 3.
#8 2021 Mazda CX-3
Launched in 2016 and facelifted in 2019, Mazda CX-3 carries over largely unchanged this year.
