FarangMoto Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 By Mazda Thailand Bangkok, July 28, 2015 – Mazda Sales (Thailand) Co. Ltd. has been able to break the 2,900-units sales mark in June 2015, pushing the brand and ranking it No.3 for passenger cars sales for the first time in Thai market. The SKYACTIV models have led Mazda to great success; Mazda3 is now ranked at No.2 in C segment with 18% market share - the new Mazda2 claiming 11% share in June. This is successful evidence that Mazda is determined to build the brand to be the one that customers trust. This has led Mazda to be able to maintain market share with the total sales volume exceeding 16,000 units for the first half. Mazda is planning to launch an aggressive campaign during the second half of the year with three new models, pickup truck, roadster and SUV, due to hit the roads. According to Hidesuke Takesue, President of Mazda Sales (Thailand) Co. Ltd., Thailand’s economy during the first half of 2015 has been slowing since the end of last year. “Total domestic auto sales during the first six months reached 368,000 vehicles, equivalent to a decline of 16 per cent. However during the remaining part of the year, we expect the situation to improve. For Mazda, total sales were stable with only small changes. Total Mazda sales during the first half of 2015 were 16,837 units, equivalent to a 4.9-per cent market share, which is considerably higher than the same period last year. This is a good success for Mazda because even with stable sales, our market share has risen significantly,” he said. http://www.farangmoto.com/thailand/index.php/90-mazda/336-skyactiv-technology-pushes-mazda-to-achieve-sales-volume-at-no-3-in-thai-market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdrokit Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Looks like the MX-5 will be in the 2016 line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konying Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I do not think its the skyactive tech, but rather nice looking cars, well priced, and available for immediate delivery. Mazda has really turned around and done excellent job with exterior as well as interior on their model line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Mazda Thailand just don't give any info on release dates of new/refreshed models, possibly because they are so damn SLOW to release new or refreshed models in Thailand(new CX3? CX5 update)? Plus Mazda dealers seem so laid back, it really pushes any would be buyers straight back into Honda dealerships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) These numbers are different than the official numbers for June 2015 that Toyota publishes, but yes, in passenger cars only Mazda is in 3rd: Passenger Cars: Toyota: 7,460 Honda: 5,016 Mazda: 2,070 Mercedes Benz: 1,226 Nissan: 1,196 Suzuki: 1,119 Mitsubishi: 999 BMW: 732 Ford: 707 MG: 300 Chevrolet: 256 Volvo: 80 (can't be bothered to type the minor placings) In the Pickups category, the BT-50 isn't doing so well though.... maybe it needs some Skyactiv love? Maybe the minor change next month will attract more buyers? Toyota: 12,824 Isuzu: 8,832 Mitsubishi: 2,118 Ford: 1,720 Nissan: 1,132 Mazda: 653 Chevrolet: 626 Maybe most surprising is that Benz is in 4th...

Mazda has really turned around and done excellent job with exterior as well as interior on their model line up Agreed, and I think the Mazda 3 is one of the best looking motors on the road. Could easily be disguised as a BMW, Lexus or Merc coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace of Pop Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I like the 3,but where are they ,never see any about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddinChonburi Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think the Mazda 2 has a Diesel option motor for 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisH Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I think the Mazda 2 has a Diesel option motor for 2015. and the mazda 2 is the only car to qualify for stage two eco-car rules. The suzuki ciaz is late to the game but I don't think it has the fuel economy/emissions to qualify. The mazda 2 is a good but but a little expensive. If I was looking for a mid sized sedan, the m3 would be it (unless honda civic introduces a turbo into its range). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly moot, because it looks like Eco car v2 is now going to be canned anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that - everyone else agrees that scrapping it in favor of an EV/Hybrid incentive program is a better idea. No proposals yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
