Mazda reported December sales of 4,461 vehicles, representing an increase of 62.9% versus December 2022.

After ending the first quarter down by 12.3% YOY, inventory rebounded to help full-year sales settle at 58,637 vehicles, for an increase of 17.6% compared to 2022.

December and 2023 highlights

• Mazda3 sales increased 93.8% compared to December 2022, and are up 35.3% for the year.
• After starting a second shift at Mazda’s new production facility in Huntsville, Alabama this summer, sales of CX-50 picked up dramatically, ending the year with a 141.5% increase compared to 2022.
• CX-30 also saw full-year sales rise significantly, besting 2022 by a full 56.6%.
• MX-5 sales enjoyed a resurgence in 2022, leading to the second-best annual sales total in the past 15 years.

In 2023, the all-new CX-90 MHEV and CX-90 PHEV took over the flagship position in Mazda’s lineup, replacing the outgoing CX-9 as the 3-row crossover in the lineup. Starting sales in May, CX-90 sales surpassed record CX-9 sales every month, leading to a cumulative total higher than the best full-year record for CX-9, earned in only seven months of sales.

In early 2023, all tested Mazda vehicles earned the IIHS 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK. These vehicles included the Mazda3, Mazda3 Sport, CX-30, CX-5, CX-9, and CX-50. Over the summer we held the very first crash test of the 2024 CX-90 in the U.S., earning it IIHS’s top-tier award, 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK+. As the year came to a close, improved pedestrian crash avoidance in the 2024 Mazda3, Mazda3 Sport, and CX-30 earned them upgrades from 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK to TOP SAFETY PICK+ (when equipped with optional front crash prevention).

Leading into the holidays, Mazda Canada built on our past two years of community impact initiatives, pledging up to $1,000,000 to support and celebrate “Rising Legends”; Canadian youth and youth organizations who are working hard to improve their communities.
