Mazda South Africa has said it will run out the existing local stock of the Mazda 3 Sedan, and that it will not bring in more units after the current supply has been depleted.
“From the available industry sales numbers, it is clear that South Africans, in line with global trends, prefer compact crossovers and SUVs above the sedans,” said Mazda South Africa.
The company said it has expanded its crossover and SUV models in anticipation of the current trends, and it will continue to increase the available options of these body styles in the future.
The Mazda 3 Hatch will remain part of the company’s line-up, however.

The Mazda 3 Sedan is available in four specifications, with two engine sizes across the range.
