Mazda Premium Collection cars feature upmarket kit, hybrid powertrain

MANILA: Bermaz Auto Philippines, the local distributor of Mazda vehicles and parts, follows the Japanese carmaker's positioning as a premium brand with the 2022 Mazda Premium Collection. 

The Premium Collection is comprised of the Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda CX-3, and Mazda CX-30. Bermaz Auto described the vehicles as sporting "distinguished craftsmanship and class-leading technology," among other qualities. 

The cars are also equipped with technology in keeping with Mazda’s Sustainable Zoom Zoom 2030 Vision, the carmaker's CO2 reduction goals. 

The refreshed Mazda2 hatchback now sports LED daytime running lights for improved daytime driving visibility, and black 16-inch alloy wheels. With a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine, the model now goes for P1.195 million. 

Inside, the Mazda2 features leather seats and Mazda’s Active Driving Display, which shows pertinent information at the driver’s line of sight. The Mazda2 is also equipped with Smartphone Mirroring and wireless Apple CarPlay and charging. 

The safety suite is enhanced by six airbags, and a host of i-Activsense safety features. These features include the likes ofFront and Rear Smart City Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear-Cross Traffic Alert, and Driver Attention Alert. 

The CX-3 crossover is now available in 2.0-liter Sport and Elegance variants, both of which available for P1.49 million. 

On the outside, the CX-3 Sport wears gray-finished grille and body color mirror caps. The CX-3 Elegance, on the other hand, is highlighted by a gloss black grille and black side mirror caps. Both variants sport unique 16-inch wheel designs and LED headlights and DRLs. 

Moving to the interior, the CX-3 Sport has black leatherette seats with a distinctive center fabric pattern. The CX-3 Elegance, meanwhile, features white leatherette seats with tan Grand Luxe seating cushions, and tan interior details. 

Both CX-3 variants are equipped with Wireless CarPlay and a seven-speaker Bose audio system. Security and safety features such as a Smart Keyless Entry System and Rear Parking Sensors, Side Airbags and Side Curtain Airbags become standard for both variants.

For the Mazda3, alongside the Sport variant of compact sedan and hatchback sits the 3 M Hybrid, which is powered by the e-Skyactiv-G Mild Hybrid (M Hybrid) technology. The 3 Sport has a price tag of P1.495 million, while the Hybrid goes for P1.695 million. 

The Mazda3 M Hybrid's drivetrain is paired to a two-liter Skyactive-G engine. The car's drivetrain uses a host of technologies to yield lower fuel consumption figures and emissions.

The regenerative braking stores the energy used during braking and deceleration in the M-Hybrid battery, from which the hybrid system transfers the energy to power the car's electric supply. When the 3 finds itself at an idle, the engine will shut off automatically, then restart when acceleration is needed once more. 

As for equipment, the 3 Sport and 3 Hybrid both feature black leather seats and 12-speaker Bose audio as standard. 

Lastly, the CX-30 will now be exclusively available with the e-Skyactiv-G M Hybrid and front-wheel drive system, similar to the 3. The compact crossover is priced at P1.99 million. 

Alongside hybrid power, the CX-30 is equipped with full red leather seats, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, LED Adaptive Front-Lighting System, 360-degree view camera, and gloss black 18-inch wheels. 

The 2022 Mazda Premium Collection will be available in a new premium exterior color called Platinum Quartz.

All 16 Mazda showrooms nationwide will carry the 2022 Mazda Premium Collection beginning December. All brand-new models in the lineup are covered by Mazda Philippines’ standard Five Years Free Service Plan, which bundles servicing and maintenance costs with the vehicles' prices.
