摘要

This compact SUV is the first vehicle to benefit from Mazda's latest powertrains, chassis and lighter, stiffer platforms. The compact SUV market is a growing sector and one that can deliver healthy margins, Most vehicle manufacturers now have a model in the segment, and more than 1.2 million compact SUVs were sold in Europe last year. Mazda's offering is the CX-S. Hideaki Tanaka, the vehicle's programme manager, says: "Mazda has been in deficit for the past four years, so we were looking for a product which was going to make a profit."
