To boost sales of Mazda’s superb Mazda 3 MPS, customers will receive a £500 saving if they opt for the version with the sports appearance kit.
This will cancel out the additional £500 which Mazda currently charge over the standard model.
In the UK, the sports hatchback market is both well established and more demanding in terms of styling than in other European countries which is why Mazda developed a Sports Aero kit model, together with Mazda in Japan.
This version includes a larger rear sports spoiler, low-drag two-spoke sports door mirrors and lowered suspension. And believe me it makes all the difference in the world. Without the kit, the Mazda 3 MPS feels like a jack Russell on wet lino. We also think it will become a standard feature and no longer cost a premium.
There’s also additional incentives for Mazda dealers who signed up for the Mazda 3 MPS Tactical Offer. This scheme allows subscribed dealers to go for an aggressive pricing campaign, giving them a fast start and saving customers a lot of the green stuff in the process, which can only be a good thing.
Meanwhile the rest of the Mazda 3 range will benefit from 0% finance with a 50% deposit or 4.9% APR with a smaller more flexible deposit and terms.
There’s also a high level of 3 1.6 TS petrol automatics in stock at national level and so Mazda have also targeted these specific models and offered dealers generous bonuses to help reduce stock levels. Sounds like there’s going to be some real bargains out there.
