Mazda Australia enjoyed its best ever month on record in June, retailing 5543 cars and commercial vehicles.

The June total was up 190 sales on the same month last year, which had stood as Mazda’s best monthly performance since the brand arrived in Australia in 1959.

As expected the Mazda 3 sedan and hatch topped Mazda’s sales, recording its best month to date with 2236 retails.

The Mazda 2 also had its best month since arriving in late 2002, retailing 567. The Mazda 6 continued to shine with 1116 sales, while Tribute accounted for 612 sales and the B Series 650.

The managing director of Mazda Australia, Doug Dickson, said: “The June result gives us six record months this year, a great achievement for Mazda and our dealer network.

“Our present range of Zoom-Zoom new generation models are class leaders and our record sales reflect the strength of our line-up”.
