Mazda adds high-tech camera to Australian range – and existing owners won't miss out

Digital rear-view mirrors are becoming increasingly common, and now Mazda is getting in on the action.

It’s rolling out the feature as one of its optional Genuine Accessories on a pair of its SUV lines.

It’s available to order now on the CX-90, and will also be available on that model’s two-row CX-70 counterpart when it arrives in Australia.

The recommended fitting pricing is $2568, and orders can be placed at dealerships nationwide.

As with Mazda’s other Genuine Accessories, there’s a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty when the mirror is fitted as part of a new vehicle order.

If you’ve already taken delivery of a CX-90, you can pay to have the feature fitted, however it will only come with a two-year warranty.

Digital rear-view mirrors allow you to see out the back of a vehicle when you’re carrying items or people that would block the view from the regular mirror, thanks to a camera placed at the top of the rear windscreen.

You can press a button to flip Mazda’s item back to a regular mirror.

There are also buttons to adjust the brightness of the screen, plus buttons for Homelink garage door capability.

It retains the frameless design of the standard mirror.

Mazda offers a wide range of accessories in Australia.

On the CX-90, for example, the list includes illuminated scuff plates, as well as roof pods, roof and bike racks, and an electric trailer brake controller.
