Car manufacturer MAZDA is to launch a new version of its popular 5 model next month, which it promises will be greener and more family friendly.
The two-litre Mazda 5 will be more economical for Car Finance customers to drive; meaning Car Loans could stretch further.
Mazda claims that carbon dioxide emissions in every model will be reduced by between eight and 11 g/km, while such a move will drop the vehicle down one road tax band. Exterior modifications on the 2008 model include new bumpers and front and rear light clusters.
Car Credit customers can also take advantage of the seven-inch touch-screen satnav system, which comes complete with integrated rear-view camera to aid parking.
Later this month, the manufacturer is to launch the all-new Mazda 6 model.
