Mazda Earns Kelley Blue Book’s “Most Affordable Cost-of-Ownership Award”

Feb. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Community Mazda in Tinley Park, IL proudly reported that on February 5th, Mazda’s 2013 lineup was granted the prestigious Kelley Blue Book award for the “2013 5-Year Cost to Own Award.” Since 1926, Kelley Blue Book has been the only trusted name in the business of determining vehicle valuation. Rather than evaluating the initial cost of buying a vehicle, Kelley Blue Book considers the cost to buyers after the purchase of the vehicle.

Kelley Blue Book took a number of aspects into consideration when they were evaluating the cost-of-ownership of 2013 vehicles across the entire auto industry. The biggest factors they considered were depreciation and fuel costs of the vehicles over a 5-year period. Mazda performed very well in both of these categories due to strong consumer confidence in the longevity and reliability of Mazda vehicles, as well as a citation of Mazda’s innovative new SkyActiv technology, which uses precision engineering to create engines that are able to maximize performance while at the same time increasing fuel efficiency. Also cited in the analysis were Mazda’s low maintenance costs, which may be attributed to the precision of Mazda’s design and engineering across its entire lineup of vehicles.

In addition to Mazda’s award for the entire 2013 lineup, the 2013 Mazda5 minivan won an award for the “2013 5-Year Cost to Own Award” for the entire minivan segment. Fuel efficiency comes in the Mazda5 through precise engineering and a design that manages to maximize cargo and passenger space while increasing fuel efficiency through a compact design. A host of competitive features and technology also ensure that the Mazda5 will remain competitive in years to come so that the model will have a low depreciation value.
