Mazda 3 2.0 SkyActiv-G M-Hybrid (2020) review
This is the Mazda3 hatchback with the simpler mild-hybrid petrol engine. Better bet than the SkyActiv-X?

Mazda 2 1.5 SkyActiv-G M Hybrid (2020) review
Small, but almost perfectly formed, the Mazda2 is a small car that thinks it’s a bigger one.

Mazda CX-30 SkyActiv-D diesel (2020) review
Is diesel dead? Not if you ask Mazda, and its new 1.8-litre diesel works rather beautifully in the new CX-30.

Mazda testers' notes
Melanie's nine-hour drive through Albania turned into 13 hours at the wheel of the Mazda CX-30
What was supposed to be a nine-hour drive through Albania turned into a 13-hour odyssey, but at least it gave Melanie plenty of time to test the Mazda CX-30. By the time she reached the darkest sections of the Albanian mountains, the adaptive headlights were working overtime, picking out tight hairpins, blind bends and the many goats, donkeys, cats and dogs in the road. The quiet cabin, comfortable seats and smooth petrol engine made the marathon drive surprisingly easy, while the Bose sound system provided excellent acoustics for a soundtrack of Michael Jackson, Kenny Loggins and Prince.
Melanie is on a road trip through Albania at the wheel of the latest Mazda CX-30
Melanie is on a road trip in Albania this week, driving the updated Mazda CX-30. The route is following the Vjosa River, considered to be Europe's last big wild and free-flowing river.

Shane's turn to try out the new Mazda CX-5
Shane has the Mazda CX-5 on test this week. It looks smart, especially in this gorgeous Soul Red Crystal colour. Lovely cabin with plenty of space as well as great quality (though we prefer more physical switchgear). The chassis is great, too, making it a joy to drive, though it's crying out for a hybrid powertrain as it's petrol only. For now...
