Mazda has raised interest rates from 0.9% APR to 1.9%, effectively creating a price increase for buyers in April. In addition to a lack of financing deals, there are practically no rebate deals to speak of apart from a $500 loyalty discount that rewards current Mazda owners for staying with the same brand.
Fortunately, there is a $500 conquest cash incentive on the CX-5 and CX-9 when coming from a competitor. This month's biggest change is the first CX-50 lease deal at $409 per month. As before, Mazda is advertising 24-month leases, likely as a way to take advantage of higher residual values to avoid raising prices.
Offers from Mazda vary by region and end on May 2nd. The examples below are for Southern California. We update this page every month based on the latest incentives, so be sure to check back for changes.

Must-Know Advice For Mazda Buyers
Premium focus. The latest Mazdas have set a high standard as far as fit & finish. However, prices have risen as a result. For example, the MSRP of a new Mazda3 turbocharged variant will exceed $30,000.
Sportier models are now available. Mazda has added turbo power to an increasing number of models. In addition to the 2021 Mazda3, the popular CX-30 got one as well. Mazda is also dropping FWD on its SUV models, only offering them in AWD.
Offers vary by region. Mazda offers tend to feature a nice variety of cashback, finance, and lease deals. That said, rebates are not on par with competitors like Ford and Hyundai. The best lease prices are usually in major metro areas like Los Angeles and New York. In contrast, other cities feature better incentives for buying.
Finding the lowest prices. Like Toyota and Honda, Mazda forbids dealers from advertising below invoice price because of a rule called MAAP (Minimum Allowable Advertised Price). Dealers can still sell at whatever price they want, but you'll have to reach out to one in order to get the best price.
Fewer incentives than competitors. Rebates for any given model rarely go above $2,000, so don't expect to see a big "20% off" sale like Chevy or 0% financing for 66 months like Kia. Mazda does offer decent financing incentives that can often be a better value than rebates, which aren't currently available.
Loyalty discounts vary. Mazda used to offer a $750 loyalty discount, but it has dropped to $500. You don't have to trade in your current vehicle, and the offer can be transferred to members of the same household. The fact that you can stack the offer with other incentives makes this a pretty good deal.
Holiday deals. Thinking of buying around July Fourth, Labor Day, or Memorial Day? Mazda sometimes introduces holiday bonuses worth up to $1,000 and perks like "No Payments For 90 Days" on select models. However, vehicles like the MX-5 Miata rarely see cash incentives or even promotional lease offers.
Used car deals. Looking to buy a used car or SUV? The Mazda Certified Used Vehicle Program offers the savings of a used car without having to sacrifice a warranty. In some cases, you can even get access to special rates and offers to waive your first month's payment. Check our monthly CPO deal coverage for the latest offers.
