2026 Mazda3 Sedan exterior image 

Safe, affordable, easy to drive. Reliable, high-tech, fuel-efficient. These are several reasons why new Mazda cars are so popular with people from all walks of life, including first-time owners. Here, Colonial Mazda highlights some models that are particularly attractive for customers looking to buy their very first Mazda automobile.

MAZDA3

Available as a sedan or hatchback, this car is particularly appealing to buyers who commute and/or live in the city. It's exceptionally agile, easy to park, and offers the latest safety features courtesy of the i-Activsense® suite. Plus, you'll have two powerful engines to choose from, each promising an exciting ride.

MAZDA CX-30 

The Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact SUV that shares many of the same qualities as the Mazda3. The difference is that the Mazda CX-30 is bigger and taller, resulting in better visibility and standard i-Activ AWD® (all-wheel drive) for all trims. This model also offers a great combination of driver assistance systems and next-gen infotainment amenities.

The Mazda CX-5 isn't just the Mazda brand's best-selling vehicle - it's also one of the highest-rated compact SUVs on the market. It boasts a spacious, quiet cabin, an engaging ride, and comes with all the latest features. It's also a great example of the Mazda brand's exceptional reliability, which means more time on the road and less time getting Mazda service.

MAZDA CX-50 

If you're a first-time owner looking for something rugged and ready to drive off-road, the Mazda CX-50 is a top pick. This compact SUV pairs attractive exterior styling with a high ground clearance, a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs, and several drive modes that allow you to match the vehicle's performance with the terrain.
