IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today reported August U.S. sales of 29,938 vehicles, representing a decrease of 4.4 percent versus last year. Year-to-date (YTD), Mazda has sold 216,091 vehicles.

Key August 2015 sales notes:

  • Fluctuating global financial markets, in combination with an absent Labor Day selling weekend, resulted in decreased YOY sales.

  • Mazda’s outstanding sixth-generation vehicles (Mazda3, Mazda6, MX-5, CX-3 and CX-5) have combined YTD sales up 6.4 percent.
  • As the company’s sixth-generation of vehicle sales grow so does SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY.
