Mazda's SUV range continues to impress Australians, with the Mazda CX-5 and Mazda CX-3 achieving new monthly sales records in February, according to VFACTS figures released today.

Mazda's award-winning CX-5 continues to outsell any other SUV in the market, achieving its best February result yet. The CX-5 saw 2,191 sales last month, a 13.3% increase on the previous year.

The Mazda CX-3 also pipped its previous February sales record, with 1,562 retails, amounting to a 6.4% increase on the same time last year.

Mazda's results reflect the growing trend toward SUV ownership in Australia, where for the first time in 2017, SUV sales outdid those of passenger cars.

Mazda Australia Managing Director, Vinesh Bhindi, said the result shows sustained growth and high interest in Mazda's SUV range.

"We're thrilled to see Mazda's SUV range remain a top choice for Australian new car buyers, who continue to be won over by our reputation for safety, performance and style," said Mr Bhindi.

"With demand for SUV's showing no sign of slowing down, we look forward to introducing the Mazda CX-8 to Australia in the second half of the year."
