The Astina tops the whole range with prices starting at $33,490 for the manual and $35,490 for the automatic.

You get 18-inch alloy wheels, six-speaker stereo with DAB, Bluetooth and USB, dual-zone climate control, auto wipers and headlights, adaptive LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, electronic park brake, rear parking sensors, keyless entry and start, leather seats, active cruise control, gear-shift paddles (auto), sat nav, leather steering wheel, heated folding mirrors, sunroof, reversing camera and a space-saver spare.

The 2.5-litre four-cylinder has 138kW and 250Nm, with a choice of six-speed auto or six-speed manual.

Mazda's 'MZD Connect' looks after the entertainment and sat nav with a 7.0-inch touchscreen and rotary-dial controlled system, but it's still missing Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The safety package includes six airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, forward and reverse AEB, traffic-sign recognition, forward-obstruciton warning, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, driver-attention alert, smart brake support, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.
