New Mazda2 Venture Edition Launched in Britain

Every once in a while, automakers introduce some sort of special edition, which most of the times translates to added extras at a friendly price, to renew interest in a particular model series. This holds true in the case of the new UK market Mazda2 Venture Edition.

Based on the five-door hatchback Tamura model, the Venture Edition is priced from £12,995 (OTR) and features additional items of equipment. On the outside, you'll find 16-inch gunmetal alloy wheels, a sports styling kit, front fog lamps, privacy glass and a rear bumper sports trim.

More problems for Mazda Motor Corp., which doesn't seem to be going as well as its management had hoped after the company broke free (or so to speak) from the Ford group back in 2008.

While the company will continue to offer commercial vehicles, it will no longer develop or produce them.

Mazda CX-5 Orders in Japan Surpass Mazda’s Original Estimates by 8 Times in the First Month

Mazda revealed today that it has received close to 8,000 orders for its brand new CX-5 crossover in Japan since February 16.
