Victoria Park Mazda celebrates anniversary
CARDIFF-BASED Victoria Park Mazda is celebrating the dealership’s 38th anniversary as a Mazda retailer.
Founded in 1982, the family-run dealership has established a reputation for providing first-class care, high-quality vehicles and first-class customer service to customers in all departments – new and used cars, service and parts.
Gareth Jones, Victoria Park Mazda dealer principal, said: “We’re extremely excited to celebrate our 38th anniversary as a Mazda dealer and recently welcomed an all-new midsize SUV – the Mazda CX-30 – in our milestone year.
Now available, the all-new Mazda CX-30 will deliver new levels of driver engagement with a range of SKYACTIV engines, from the fuel efficient SKYACTIV-G petrol engine, to the brand new 165ps SKYACTIV-X petrol engine. Starting from £22,940, the all-new model boasts ultimate comfort with ergonomic seating, a spacious cabin and head-turning style.
All models are fitted with a new head-up display that projects key driver information directly onto the windscreen.
The new Mazda CX-30 has been awarded the maximum five-star rating by Euro NCAP in its latest series of tests.
Following the Mazda6 last year and the All-New Mazda3 earlier this year, this is the third Mazda to achieve an overall five-star rating under the new, more stringent 2018 Euro NCAP crashworthiness ratings. The Mazda CX-30 performed impressively in all four Euro NCAP test categories – adult occupant, child occupant, vulnerable road user (pedestrian safety) and safety assist.
The rating is a result of three key factors: the adoption of the very latest Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture, which features a high-rigidity, impactabsorbing yet lightweight bodyshell; a wide range of advanced i-Activsense safety technologies which help drivers identify potential risks and reduce the likelihood of damage or injury and a high standards of pedestrian protection performance.
With an exceptional 99% score in the adult occupant category, the Mazda CX-30 achieved maximum points for frontal full-width impact, as well as for both barrier and pole side impacts. Mazda’s smart brake support system also gained full marks in low-speed tests, with collisions avoided in all scenarios. An excellent child occupant score of 86% included full marks in child restraint system installation checks and for child protection in the lateral impact test. Vulnerable road user (pedestrian safety) tests achieved a score of 80%, with maximum points for pedestrian leg and pelvis area protection. A score of 77% in the safety assist category recognizes the efficiency of the new Mazda CX-30’s comprehensive suite of i-Activsense safety features.
The superior driving dynamics achieved as a result of Mazda’s Skyactiv Technology also contribute to the new Mazda CX-30’s five-star Euro NCAP achievement, delivering a linear, responsive and predictable acceleration, braking, handling, and steering. By making the car easier to drive safely, the technologies reduce the potential for accidents without compromising Mazda’s traditional fun-to-drive character.
Ray Hopkins, a loyal customer, said: “I congratulate Victoria Park on 38 years as a successful dealership, and I look forward too many more to come.
