MAZDA ON RECORD SALES PACE
1-FEBRUARY-2007

Mazda Australia has started 2007 at record sales pace, retailing 6627 vehicles last month.

The January result was Mazda’s best ever in Australia, passing its previous best month – 6111 sales in February 2005 – by a significant 8.4 per cent or 516 vehicles. It was a hefty 23 per cent up on the same month last year (5384 sales).

Not surprisingly other records tumbled last month. Mazda’s most popular car, the Mazda3, achieved its best result with 3347 sales.

The Mazda2, with 557 sales, and Mazda’s commercial utility range (BT-50 and the superseded B Series) with 719 retails, posted record January results. Mazda6 with 1107 sales had its best month since July last year.

Doug Dickson, managing director of Mazda Australia, said: "Mazda has been the top-selling full line importer for the past two years and this record January result gets us off to a flying start this year.

"Most pleasing is that our whole range showed strong gains and the all-new

CX-7 crossover had a very successful first full month with 540 sales. Its combination of outstanding style, driving dynamics and spacious interior has shifted the goal posts in the SUV market".
