2018 Mazda CX-3

Mazda sold 29,980 vehicles in the United States in May, good for a 15.1 percent year-over-year increase. This growth was driven in no small part by a 63.8 percent increase for the Mazda6, which grew from 2,708 units sold in May 2017 to 4,437 vehicles delivered last month.

The significant uptick in sales of this sedan coincides with the launch of the 2018 Mazda6, which boasts bold new styling and is offered for the first time ever in a Signature trim. The Mazda6 helped guide Mazda cars to a 3 percent year-over-year increase, more than offsetting an 11.7 percent year-over-year downturn from the Mazda3 and a 13.9 dip in sales for the MX-5 Miata.
