Auto Express has honoured Mazda for the 10th straight year running in its annual New Car Awards.
For the second year in a row the Mazda6 was named the Best Family Car, while the Mazda3 Fastback was commended in the 'Compact Family Car' category and the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe commended in the 'Roadster' category.
Auto Express named the 2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D 150ps SE-L Mazda6, which achieves up to 72.4mpg as its winner.
Auto Express editor-in-chief, Steve Fowler, commented: "The Mazda6 saloon remains the best family car by some margin.
"Its sharp styling will turn heads and if you get a glimpse inside, you'll see a driver grinning from ear-to-ear - this is a fantastic car to drive.
"On top of all that, it ticks the boxes buyers of these cars expect these days: it's incredibly efficient, well made and has plenty of advanced kit on board."
Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director, Mazda UK added: "Mazda's ability to defy convention and deliver uniquely appealing cars has been acknowledged by Auto Express once again in its 2014 New Car Awards.
"Our fuel-saving SKYACTIV technology is truly innovative, and is a key factor in securing another glowing endorsement for the Mazda6 from the UK's best-selling weekly automotive magazine."
