  The 2026 Newsweek Readers' Choice Awards are creating serious buzz across the automotive landscape, and Mazda is taking center stage. It's an exceptionally successful year for the brand, taking home an impressive five Readers' Choice Awards and celebrating a well-deserved victory lap for 2026.
Mazda Earns Five 2026 Readers' Choice Awards from Newsweek
Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) is proud to share its major achievements this year. Newsweek readers voted Mazda to the top across five total categories:
- Best Car Brand
- Best Brand Dealership Experience
- Best SUV Brand
- Best New Car (Mazda3)
- Best New SUV (Mazda CX-5)
Sweeping this many categories requires an unwavering commitment to quality. Mazda continually hits that rare sweet spot between upscale design and incredible value—a combination that resonates strongly with drivers. Tom Donnelly, president and CEO of MNAO, took a moment to highlight what this recognition means for the company and its owner community:
"We are honored to be recognized by Newsweek readers across both our brand and vehicle lineup. These awards reflect our commitment to creating vehicles that customers love to drive and own, while delivering a dealership experience that builds lasting relationships and trust."
In a crowded automotive landscape, the Newsweek Readers' Choice Awards carry genuine weight with drivers and industry leaders alike. Determined over a four-week public voting window strictly monitored by Newsweek, the results reflect direct feedback from real car owners rather than self-interested industry commentators. That's why so many shoppers rely on these awards when researching what's truly delivering high customer satisfaction on the road.
At the end of the day, actual drivers are the best judges of which vehicles offer real value and performance. Our dealership is thrilled to see Mazda stand out so prominently in this year's competition, and we invite you to stop by and explore our rich selection of award-winning Mazda inventory today.
