Mazda is offering fleets free sat-nav (worth £700) on Mazda6 models for the rest of the year.

The offer applies across the entire Mazda6 range of saloon and Tourer models.

The navigation upgrade offer is available to all companies who contract hire their cars via leasing companies, irrespective of the size of their business or their company car fleet. It is also available to all small businesses via their local dealer.

Mazda head of fleet Steve Tomlinson said: "Satellite navigation is a ‘must have’ feature for many fleets and company car drivers and navigation-equipped models are already extremely popular across the Mazda range - the 2.2-litre 150hp Skyactiv-D saloon SE-L Nav is the biggest seller in fleet followed by the 2.2-litre 150hp Saloon Sport Nav model.

"The new campaign will accelerate orders for all-new Mazda6 Nav models and we are particularly keen for our dealers to engage with businesses in their local areas and promote the offer.

"We know from Mazda6 orders just how important satellite navigation is for company car drivers. The new offer will make all-new Mazda6 Nav models more accessible and make the car an even more compelling proposition to businesses that either outright purchase or contract hire their vehicles."

The TomTom satellite navigation system in the all-new Mazda6 gives European road network coverage and features include voice control; Live Services (after an initial three months a subscription can be purchased from TomTom to extend these services) that provide accurate traffic information updates every two minutes and a route change alternative to avoid traffic jams; TomTom Places that provide information on the location of millions of businesses and other services including addresses and phone numbers; safety alerts warning of real time mobile speed camera locations and average speed checks; and point of interest navigation.
