Mazda Premium Explained: How the CX-90 Competes With Luxury SUVs on Technology

Buyers in Burnaby cross-shopping a three-row SUV often end up comparing Mazda against entry luxury nameplates, and the comparison holds up better than some expect.

Why the 2026 CX-30 Is an Easy Fit for Burnaby's Busiest Streets

Anyone who drives regularly through Metrotown Centre, along Kingsway, or through the tighter residential streets near Edmonds knows that a vehicle's size matters as much as its feature list.

What the 2026 CX-90 Mild Hybrid Brings to a Family Trip Up the Sea-to-Sky Highway

Families in Burnaby who spend their summer weekends chasing lake days, trailheads, and Whistler getaways know that the drive itself can make or break the trip.

Mazda Genuine Accessories That Help BC Summers Go Further: A Guide for Burnaby Drivers

A Mazda crossover or SUV covers a lot of ground on its own. Standard i-Activ AWD, generous cargo areas, towing capability, and Mi-Drive modes with Off-Road settings mean the vehicles themselves are already prepared for what British Columbia summers ask of them.

What the 2026 Mazda CX-70 MHEV Can Handle on a BC Summer Weekend — Towing, Trails, and the Sea-to-Sky

Summer in British Columbia is hard on a vehicle that is not built for it. The roads change quickly — from Burnaby's surface streets to gravel forest service tracks north of Squamish, from flat highway straightaways to the switchbacks above Alta Lake. The gear multiplies: bikes, boats, paddleboards, tent bags, coolers, wetsuits. The passengers...

The all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 has arrived in dealerships as the third-generation model, and buyers who have already decided on the CX-5 now face a more specific decision: which trim is the right fit.

Drivers in Burnaby and across British Columbia spend a significant portion of the year navigating roads that are wet, slick, or unpredictably variable. From the rain-soaked urban streets of Metro Vancouver to the damp mountain approaches in fall and early winter, surface conditions change faster than the weather forecast. For 2026, Mazda has...

How the 2026 Mazda CX-5's Larger Cargo Area Handles Weekend Errands and Getaways from Burnaby

The all-new 2026 Mazda CX-5 is a full third-generation redesign, and one of the most practical changes is how much more cargo space it now offers.
