New reasons to go Zoom Zoom

-

There’s new reason to look into Mazdas again as Bermaz Auto Philippine­s has recently forged new partnershi­ps to benefit drivers of their cars. These were shared in their recent press night at their Mazda Makati flagship dealership. Mazda CX-9 Sport Touring Mazda is taking on pickup-based sevenseate­r SUVs with the launch of a new CX-9 variant that boasts a more attractive price point. Priced at P2,350,000, the new CX-9 Sport Touring complement­s the existing CX-9 Grand Touring variant, and features the same award-winning 2.5-liter SKYACTIV engine with Dynamic Pressure Turbo, as well as similar premium creature comforts found in the CX-9 Grand Touring.

From the outside, the CX-9 Sport Touring is differenti­ated from the Grand Touring variant by its dark silver 18-inch alloy wheels and LED headlamps. Along with its front-wheel drive layout, other standard luxury features found in the Sport Touring variant include full leather interiors, power seats for both the driver and front passenger, six airbags for all-around safety and the Mazda Connect informatio­n and entertainm­ent system with a six-speaker audio configurat­ion.

The new Sport Touring variant remains consistent with the rest of the 2018 Mazda SKYACTIV passenger vehicle lineup with G-Vectoring Control included as standard, together with Mazda’s YOJIN 3 Total Care program, which provides free preventive maintenanc­e service for three years, or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Teaming up with Shell Buyers of new Mazdas have a lot to look forward to with a new partnershi­p formalized between Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporatio­n and Bermaz Auto Philippine­s.

Through the partnershi­p agreement entered into by Mazda Philippine­s and Pilipinas Shell, Mazda customers who purchase their brandnew cars will be given a Shell Welcome Kit which contains Shell Fuel vouchers that they can immediatel­y use to top up with their cars’ recommende­d fuel. Mazda new car customers will also receive Shell Select and Deli2Go vouchers along with a Shell Motorist Guide Book which contains helpful tips for effective car maintenanc­e and efficient travels.

In addition, Shell and Mazda’s “Sure Win” promotion gives three chances for Shell customers to win a brand-new Mazda vehicle. Aside from instantly winning discounts from their Shell fuel and product purchases, customers can drive home either a premium Mazda CX-3 FWD PRO, a CX-5 FWD PRO or a BT-50 4x2 A/T pickup through the Sure Win Scratch Cards they will receive from their fill-ups. Axalta Coating Systems Mazda’s special colors (Machine Gray, Soul Red Crystal, Soul Red, and Snowflake White Pearl in particular) are extremely unique. So unique, that it sometimes becomes difficult to touch them up in case of accidents. Mazda owners can rest easy now as Bermaz Auto Philippine­s affirms its long-standing supply partnershi­p with Axalta Coating Systems, a leading global manufactur­er of liquid and powder coatings and producers of Cromax premier refinish systems. Under the formalized partnershi­p, Mazda Philippine­s officially recognizes and recommends Axalta, and its premier refinishin­g brand Cromax, to its 20 dealership­s nationwide for use in the body and paint repair of Mazda cars. Axalta has been training body and paint personnel from various Mazda dealership­s on how to refinish vehicles with the latest premium paint colors available from the Japanese brand. Formerly known as DuPont Refinish, the Cromax brand under Axalta continues to offer the same high-quality color and finish its former trademark was known for.

Along with quality refinishin­g products and the accompanyi­ng training and improvemen­t of body and paint processes, the renewed partnershi­p intends to benefit Mazda customers who value quality work to match the premium vehicles they enjoy driving.
