New Mazda3 and Mazda5 'Venture Edition' models

Mazda is introducing four special versions of its popular Mazda3 and Mazda5, the ‘Venture Edition’. These new models are on sale now priced from £17,495.

The new Venture Edition quartet feature generous levels of specification including front fog lights, gun metal alloy wheels, sports front grille, side skirts and rear spoiler and privacy glass. Inside, there is Sanyo TomTom navigation with 5.8-inch touch-screen display and integrated Bluetooth, plus climate control air-conditioning and cruise control.
