With that in mind, let’s explore three popular sport utility vehicle options for your family adventures. more 1. Mazda CX-30 For a compact SUV, look no further than the CX-30. With a 250-horsepower 2.5-liter turbo engine at its heart, Mazda's smallest crossover SUV delivers a nippy performance and is perfect for driving around busy city streets. Helping enhance the safety of yourself and other road users is a suite of driver-assist features, including smart brake assist, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, and a rearview camera. The beautifully crafted interior is deceptively spacious, offering plenty of room for all five passengers to stretch out. Front passengers receive 41.7-inches of legroom while those in the rear enjoy 36.3 inches. Cargo space is not a problem as the CX-30 boasts a 20.2 cubic foot trunk which expands to 45.2 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded. 2. Mazda CX-50 Family adventures are on the cards with the Mazda CX-50. This off-road capable two-row SUV comes with i-Activ all-wheel drive as standard and has up to 8.6 inches of ground clearance to help you negotiate every trail. Power is delivered by a 187-horsepower 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. You also have multiple drive modes, including an off-road mode, to adapt the vehicle to the terrain. A 31.4 cubic-foot trunk and high strength roof rails let you securely carry everything you need for camping trips and weekend getaways. And, if you need additional cargo space, a properly equipped CX-50 allows you to hitch a 3,500 pound trailer. 3. Mazda CX-90 Large and growing families should consider the CX-90, Mazda's large three-row SUV for up to eight passengers. Getting everyone aboard is a breeze thanks to the tilting second row which gives you easy access to the third row. Drivers can adjust the cockpit to suit their stature by adjusting the eight-way power driver's seat and the tilt and telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel. Keeping the family entertained is not a problem, as the CX-90 comes with the latest in infotainment systems.

Mazda's 2025 lineup, including five new vehicles and improved trim levels, is waiting for drivers to buckle up! The company, which has always tried to lead in innovation and empower its people, continues to offer popular crossover SUVs and hybrids that are beautiful and functional inside and out. You can find 2025 models at a Mazda dealership packed with new and improved technology for your comfort, safety, and entertainment. Let’s check out four tech features you can experience at your local Mazda dealership. more 1. SKYACTIV Perhaps the most touted of Mazda's tech features is the SKYACTIV technology, which is available with both manual and automatic transmissions and promises to make their vehicles more fuel-efficient without sacrificing performance. Every design decision Mazda makes, from the engine to the body, contributes to high MPG and low emissions by increasing fuel efficiency and reducing weight. Plus, SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control makes your drive smoother and less fatiguing by adjusting weight and power as you take corners. While this technology can make your car feel like an extension of your body to boost your confidence, making driving more joyful, even passengers can benefit from it even if they don't consciously notice it. 2. Mazda Connect Mazda's Connect has put information and entertainment at the touch of a finger since 2014. Onboard apps let you see vehicle issues, communicate with others, stream music, or connect your media to enjoy over Bluetooth, HDMI, or USB. The split-screen option for navigation is especially convenient, and you can easily update maps with an SD card. You're not limited to Mazda's apps, either. Apple CarPlay compatibility responds to voice commands via Siri, which will even read your text messages out loud and transcribe your responses. Plus, you can access your contacts, music, maps, and other compatible apps. Android owners will also benefit from similar compatibility with Mazda Connect. 3. i-ACTIVSENSE A combination of cameras and radars keeps you safe when driving. Your Mazda will inform you of nearby people or obstacles so that you can avoid them or minimize their impact. The vehicle will also automatically brake if you miss a safety alert. This is complemented by lane departure alerts, road sign assist, lane tracing assist, and automatic high beams to make your drive as safe as possible. 4. i-ACTIV AWD Sensors in your 2025 Mazda will detect road conditions, automatically enable all-wheel drive, and adjust power when needed. This predictive technology keeps you safe in all types of weather and on various surfaces, promoting traction before your wheels begin to spin. Slipping might just become a distant memory when behind the wheel of a Mazda. Of course, all of this technology is enshrined in Mazda's simple and beautiful designs to please you. To experience this 2025 Mazda technology for yourself, schedule an appointment with Auffenberg Mazda of O'Fallon in Shiloh IL.

You're excited to head to the Mazda dealership and pick out a new car, but there's one problem: you haven't sold your old one yet. Instead of selling it, you should seriously consider trading it in. There are lots of trade-in benefits that you'll enjoy, ranging from convenience to cost savings, so let's examine in detail four major benefits of trading in your vehicle at your local Mazda dealership. more 1. You Can Reduce Your Car Loan Many buyers need to seek financing when buying a new vehicle. When you trade in your old car, you can potentially reduce the amount you need to borrow to purchase your new one. This is because we'll give you a trade-in credit to add to your down payment, reducing what you have to pay for your new car. If your car is only a few years old and in great condition, then the cost savings when buying a new vehicle can be significant. This is especially true if you're buying a highly affordable model next. 2. You Can Avoid Hassle Selling your car yourself can take a lot of work. You have to put up ads, vet buyers, potentially allow people to test drive the car, and then find a secure way to accept payment. There's none of that when trading in. You just have to drive to the dealership, get your car evaluated, sign a little paperwork, and then you're done. 3. You Can Save Time Selling your car to someone often takes a lot more time than trading in your car at the dealership. It may take you days or weeks to find an interested buyer who can pay up. Since you may need the sales money from your old car to help with your down payment on your new car, this can delay you getting a new vehicle. Plus, supervising test drives and meeting with prospective buyers can take time away from more important areas of your life. If you choose to trade in your vehicle, then you can visit the dealer, trade in your old car, and buy a new one on the same day. The process may be even quicker if you finance your new car through the dealership, too. 4. You Can Save Money On Repairs You can potentially save money by trading in your car rather than selling it. Before selling your car, you need to schedule repairs to get it in top shape and increase your chances of selling it for a great price. Dealerships are sometimes less picky and are often happy to accept a trade-in that isn't in pristine condition. After all, dealerships can very easily repair your car after buying it from you before selling it to the next interested buyer. If you're ready to trade in your car, then we're ready to help you.
