IRVINE, CA -- Oct. 1, 2014: Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today reported September U.S. sales of 23,980 vehicles, representing an increase of 6.7 percent versus last year. Year-to-date sales through September are up 9.3 percent versus last year, with 240,953 vehicles sold.

"The past two years have seen a September sales month without the Labor Day holiday, which can present a challenge for our dealers, yet we still reported a year-over-year increase," said Ron Stettner, vice president of sales, MNAO. "Sales growth continues to be the product of strong dealer support and SKYACTIV Technology, specifically the quality, fuel efficiency, technology and value found in Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5."

Key September sales notes:

Mazda sold 23,980 vehicles in the month of September, 2014, a 6.7 percent increase year-over-year (YOY).
