Mazda PH makes available more affordable variant of 3 sedan

Mazda is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the 3 compact sedan and hatchback this year. To mark the milestone, Berjaya Auto Philippines, Mazda\'s official distributor in the country, has put on sale the limited-edition Mazda 3 Maxx.

The Mazda 3 Maxx is basically the 1.6-liter V sedan, down to the four-speed automatic transmission and 16-inch wheels, but at a much lower price of P899,000--or P100,000 more affordable than the V variant.

Perhaps this is Mazda Philippines\' way of attracting more customers to buy its compact sedan before it brings in the all-new 3, which, according to Berjaya Auto Philippines chief executive Steven Tan, will happen sometime next year.

What do you think of the Mazda 3 Maxx\'s pricing?
