COMPARING CAR MODELS: YOUR ROADMAP TO SELECTING THE PERFECT MAZDA

Choosing your next Mazda is an experience that will differ based on your specific needs. While some people are looking for the ultimate sports car to enhance their luxurious lifestyle, others are expanding their families and looking for the safest vehicle on the market. With such a wide variety of options to choose from, it’s best to compare car models to help you find the perfect fit.

There are some features you’ll be able to enjoy that are consistent across the Mazda family. For instance, almost all Mazda’s offered at Ingram Park Mazda have similar safety features to help protect you while you’re on the road. Still, some models take safety to the next level. You should also consider how many people you need to fit into your car, the style that most appeals to you visually, as well as if you’re looking for a new model, like the Mazda CX-5, or a used vehicle, such as the Mazda6.

Here are a few things you should consider when selecting the perfect Mazda for you.

CONSIDER SAFETY FEATURES

Your safety, and the safety of those in your vehicle, is a top concern for most drivers. You want your new vehicle to not just meet but exceed safety standards so that you can have peace of mind while you’re driving. When you drive a Mazda, you’ll get that peace of mind and then some.

In 2023, all Mazda vehicles tested earned the 2023 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK award. This award is highly coveted and speaks to the true safety of the Mazda vehicles that were tested, which include over five varieties of Mazda vehicles. You’ll also have the option of picking a vehicle that includes i-ACTIVSENSE, a radar and camera system that works to alert you to potential hazards and avoid collisions, or reduce their severity when one of the previous is unfortunately unavoidable.

When it comes to safety, many people choose the Mazda CX-5. This crossover SUV consistently ranks as one of Mazda’s best cars each year since its debut in 2014. It’s a five-seat vehicle that offers driver standard all-wheel drive and just happens to be one of the most affordable Mazda vehicles on the market. Choose a newer model to ensure that you’re offered the most up-to-date safety features available.

PRE-OWNED OR NEW?

Ingram Park Mazda in San Antonio has a wide variety of new cars to choose from, but that’s not all you can expect when it comes to our inventory. Pre-owned options are just as popular and come with the same satisfaction guarantee as new models. With rigorous inspection standards and top-notch mechanics on hand, purchasing a used Mazda from a Mazda dealership has never been easier.

When searching for a pre-owned Mazda, you’ll likely see popular cars like the Mazda6, a classic family sedan option that was made until 2021. Its fluidity control and handling capabilities make it an enjoyable car to drive, and its pre-owned nature makes it a more affordable option than some. Mazda6 vehicles aren’t the only pre-owned Mazda’s you’ll find on the lot. You can browse through hundreds of used car options when visiting Ingram Park Mazda. With financing options available and the ability to become reapproved online, owning one of these vehicles can be done in record time.

FIND JUST THE RIGHT-SIZED VEHICLE

The vehicle you purchase will likely be largely influenced by how many people you expect to transport on a regular basis. If it’s just one and one other, something small and sporty like the Mazda MX-5 Miata might be just what you’re looking for. But if you have a growing family or are often the designated driver for your group of friends, you’re going to need a vehicle that can fit more people. With the right Mazda, you can manage to safely seat as many—or few—people as you need.

For instance, the Mazda CX-90 is a great option if you’re looking to seat as many people as possible. Maintaining its sleek look, this vehicle has up to eight seating options for passengers, as many as a smaller minivan. Plus, Mazda CX-90s are also fully equipped with other notable features such as a sunroof/moonroof, lane keep assist, keyless entry, and more, so everyone can ride in style.

CHOOSE LUXURY

This is a bit of a trick heading because Mazda vehicles are known for their luxury. With sleek exteriors and comfortable interiors, they have been a pleasure to drive since the 1970s. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t levels of luxury. When you’re choosing your perfect Mazda, you also get to create your own ultimate driving experience by choosing the features you love.

Depending on the models you’re looking at, options include heated seats, remote keyless entry, keyless ignition, six-way driver seat, driver footrest, turbocharged engine, and cruise control with steering wheel control capabilities. Plan on doing some hauling? Get the power liftgate or tailgate. Romanticize your drive with a moonroof or sunroof. Take things to the next level technologically with top-of-the-line vehicle entertainment options, such as an LCD monitor in the front, Mazda Connect 7-inch full-color touchscreen, a seek-scan radio, Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, and more. The vehicles offered by Ingram Park Mazda help you to own or lease your own version of luxury with vehicles that make driving more of an experience and less of a chore.
