Mazda Canada Reports Sales for January 2019

RICHMOND HILL, ON, Feb. 1, 2019 /CNW/ - Following one of its best January sales performances in 2018, Mazda Canada Inc. (MCI) today reported January 2019 sales of 3,745 vehicles, which is a decrease of 15.2 percent versus the same period in 2018.

KEY JANUARY SALES NOTES:

    --  While the Mazda3 managed to hold the overall sales lead through 2018,
        the CX-5 starts the new year with an early lead on the perennially
        best-selling Mazda model. The Mazda3 has easily been the best-selling
        model in Mazda's lineup since it's first full year on sale in 2004, and
        with the all-new Mazda3 launching later this month, it won't give up the
        title without a fight.
    --  Eighteen brave Canadian souls chose to take home a MX-5 roadster in
        January, which is 50 percent more than in 2018.
    --  Mazda's predictive i-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive option continues to be a
        favourite among Mazda CX-line buyers, with 81.5 percent of customers
        choosing the AWD option in January.
