School Is Back In Session: Arrive Safely With Mazda of Claremont

The Mazda3 is great for college students, and it’s offered as a sedan or a hatchback. The hatchback option offers a liftgate and folding rear seats that open into a space that can store boxes and crates a trunk wouldn’t be able to hold. Available traction safety features manage the Rancho Cucamonga roads with ease during inclement weather, and the compact footprint helps in a crowded campus garage.

The Mazda CX-30 gives a student SUV visibility without SUV bulk. The raised seating position improves sightlines in traffic, and the vehicle still fits the kind of narrow spot found near older residence halls. Students and parents sharing a purchase can begin a finance application in advance.

The Mazda CX-5 is great for families. Two rows, wide-opening rear doors for fitting a car seat into place, and split-folding rear seats that let a stroller and a hockey bag share the cargo floor rather than compete for it. A liftover height low enough to slide heavy items in makes it as sensible on a Upland commute as on a move-in run to campus.

Larger households, and teachers hauling supplies for a full classroom, will want the three-row Mazda CX-90. The second row is available as a bench or as captain's chairs, the third row folds flat when it is not carrying anyone, and both rows drop for the runs that involve furniture rather than passengers.
