Autumn launch for limited Mazda2 and Mazda CX-3 Black+ editions

Mazda is offering two limited-edition Black+ models this autumn, each with a generous specification and strictly limited production run of 500 examples.

First out of the blocks is the Mazda2 Black+, which is available now. Based on the SE-L Nav+ specification and fitted with an 89bhp petrol engine, the Black+ is set apart by its special black 16-inch alloy wheels, dark-tinted rear privacy glass, gloss black roof spoiler and roof-mounted 'shark-fin' antenna. Its £15,795 price includes a choice of three metallic colours; Machine Grey, Dynamic Blue Mica and Deep Crimson Mica.

The limited-run supermini will be joined by the Mazda CX-3 Sport Black+ SUV. This special version of the CX-3 is based on the 119bhp SE-L Nav+ in front-wheel drive form can be chosen with a manual or automatic gearbox. Special exterior touches include a black rear spoiler and matching mirror caps, a set of 18-inch alloy wheels and distinctive chrome highlights to the sides and front bumper.

Also standard are black leather seats, a heated steering wheel, all-round parking sensors, a reversing camera and colour head-up display. As with the Mazda2 Black+, three special metallic paint finishes are included – you can choose from Soul Red Crystal or Machine Grey Metallic or a Eternal Blue Mica finish.

Available later this autumn, the Mazda CX-3 Black+ costs £22,195 with a manual gearbox or £23,195 in automatic form.
