Mazda has expanded the range of vehicles available through Motability, with the full model line-up and most derivatives now on offer.

The programme sees 81 out of 97 derivatives available - including Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda5 people carrier, Mazda6, Mazda CX-5 compact crossover and Mazda MX-5 two-seater.

The Mazda3 and CX-5 were added to the programme in Q4 2014, with the company's headline offer being the Mazda3 2.0 120ps SE available with nil advance payment.

The 3 is available with a choice of low emission, Skyactiv petrol and diesel engines - only the 1.5-litre petrol model is not included on the programme.

Mazda head of fleet Steve Tomlinson said: “Mazda’s Motability programme now gives people in receipt of the Disability Living Allowance, the widest choice of vehicles ever.

Automatic variants are favoured by many Motability customers and they are available across the Mazda range with the exception of the Mazda5.

Tomlinson concluded: “In the final quarter of 2014 Mazda saw the value in offering a comprehensive Motability programme and we are delighted to be able to roll it forward in 2015 giving allowance recipients almost certainly the broadest range of choice in Mazda’s history.

“Comprehensive choice and the availability of nil advance payments on selected models and competitive terms across the range, give the Mazda dealer network an aggressive conquest offer.”
