Car importer Mazda has moved to cut prices across its range to reflect changes in tariff arrangements due to come into force in January.

The company is the first to make public its new pricing strategies which reflect the fall in tariffs on imported models from 15 per cent at present to 10 per cent from January 1.

The price reductions, taking effect now, range from $660 to $3,150.

The biggest cut applies to the company's flagship RX-8 sports car while its top selling model, the Mazda 3, will be $800 cheaper.

Mazda Australia managing director Doug Dickson said it was a case of Christmas coming early for car buyers.

"From today Mazda is passing on the tariff price cuts that come into affect on January 1," he said.
