Mazda Australia has revealed a new 45-second commercial depicting its range of fresh new models. Although us Malaysians are not quite there yet, official distributor Bermaz is poised to add the missing links – the new CX-3 B-segment crossover and MX-5 roadster – in the fourth quarter of the year, so this is sort of a sneak peek at what we can expect.
Though not explicitly pointed out in the video, the ad clearly references Mazda’s jinba ittai (horse and rider as one) concept – it starts off with a man riding on his equine companion, before being transported into the bucket seats of the MX-5. He speeds off into the distance, wearing a great big grin all the way; as we all would, wouldn’t we?
And then he’s joined by the rest of the fleet – CX-3, CX-5 and CX-9 crossovers to his left, Mazda 2, 3 and 6 to his right; all resplendent in gorgeous Soul Red Metallic. It’s a striking, confident display of what is arguably Hiroshima’s strongest product lineup yet.
One thing to note, however, for us – even after our range is completed by the end of the year, we still wouldn’t quite be able to pull off an ad like this, for one simple reason – both the Mazda 3 and CX-5 are no longer available in Soul Red. That’s just too bad…
Mazda MX-5
Mazda CX-3
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Big dilemma for me. Now I have to decide if I want Captur or CX-3. Both also look nice leh based on review.
CX-3.
But I wanna look young leh. Let me test drive CX-3 first la when it arrives. Still think CX-3 is the better one. Have to change my name soon. LOL
Mmmm, that one downvote was not from me. Was probably from a CX-3 enthusiast that took offense at your implication that CX-3 drivers look old. :P
I think CX-3 doesn’t look so old. IMO, it’s rather youthful with a mature confidence.
interior and exterior wise, cx3 menang stengah tiang lor…ha
It is kinda weird that they discontinue the soul red when it is CKD-ed.
It isn’t weird once you do a little digging. This is why:

Have to petition to Mazda to export their TAKUMINURI to Malaysia so can produce Soul Red colour then for CKD.
Range? What range? All I see is ONE identical design stamped to all cars.
Cars are more than their exterior.
so what size would u like, S, M or L?
same car, different sizes (except for mx-5 la).
At least one thing is for certain – we know what to expect from each Mazda car. I can’t say the same for other Asian makes.
Pity they left our the RX8
rotary engine cause too much problems!
Captur currently displayed at BSC and CX3 will be displayed in November but only deliver about CNY 2016…means only November i can only decide which one Captur or CX3…
Big Dilemma for me too. I guess I can wait till the CX-3 to arrive and test drive then only do a comparison. For me now my mind say Captur but my heart say CX-3. Lol
Wanna look young means car must power too, Captur 0-100 10.9 second while CX3 8.9 second…torque 190 vs 203, BHP 120 vs 155, looks like CX3 younger hehe..
I am waiting for the new CX-7 (and CX-9). My family is growing and the CX-5 becomes too small…
Hoping, soul-red would be available for more models in Thailand, too.
To all Honda,Toyota & Nissan fans…EAT THIS!!!
By all this models on market…they don’t even what hit them that FAST!!!
