Quick guide

The key points about the All-new Mazda3 at a glance. You can see these brought to life in the New Mazda3 section.

THE SHAPE


The beauty of the Mazda3 is that every part has a purpose. Just take a look at the multi-faceted Bi-Xenon headlamps

  • FRONT END

    The most powerful angle of the All-new Mazda3 presents an aggressive, sporty and instantly recognisable face. It’s a bold new look and, with its standout 5-point grille, the car has a striking charisma on the streets.

  • SIDE VIEW – HATCHBACK

    The sculpted sides, accentuated wheel arches and sporty rear end of the 5-door hatchback create an assertive look. A dynamic profile draws the eye to the centre, to highlight the car’s compact size, its racy character and its stability.

  • SIDE VIEW – SEDAN

    The 4-door sedan’s toned and youthful appearance visually declares a fun-to-drive promise. Inheriting signature themes of the outgoing model, the car’s added sophistication is obvious in the C-pillars, associated lines and centrally-focused rear deck.

  • STYLE

    The interior sophistication in the new Mazda3 is a major advance, combining design flair, superior finishes and thoughtful layout. The result is a cabin that feels roomy yet snug, dynamic yet functional.

  • AMBIENCE

    The new Mazda3 lights up in welcome as you open the door and ease into the comfy, sporty and quiet cockpit. All the controls – like audio and multi information display – are literally at your fingertips.

THE KNOW-HOW


From the latest green technology to safety features that spot trouble around the corner, the Mazda3 is ahead of the curve.

  • GREEN CREDENTIALS

    Two world-class catalysts purify exhaust gases and use fewer resources during manufacture. Waiting at traffic lights, the Mazda3 is busy saving fuel using idle-stop technology. Because it uses combustion energy to restart the engine, it’s twice as fast as some other systems.

  • NEW POWERTRAINS

    The refreshed engine line-up perfectly balances fuel economy and rewarding performance. Choose from 1.6- or 2.0-litre petrol and 1.6- or 2.2-litre diesel; each paired with responsive transmissions – 5- or 6-speed manual and 5-speed automatic.

  • GRAM STRATEGY

    The new Mazda3 promises a truly dynamic drive – and is safer, lower in emissions and more fuel efficient than ever. That’s due in part to the meticulous weight saving process – Mazda’s ‘gram strategy’ – like the greater use of strong, light, high-tensile steel.

  • AERODYNAMICS

    Less drag means better performance and greater fuel efficiency. The new Mazda3’s optimised air intake surface behind the front grille area, its centre floor cover, cover under the rear bumper and specially designed body elements help to make one of the most aerodynamic cars in its class.

  • CHASSIS

    The new Mazda3 has a more rigid body than the earlier model and its suspension is enhanced, so it’s even more stable, even more comfortable and even more fun to drive. It’s quieter too, so that you can enjoy a ride of even greater comfort.

  • ACTIVE SAFETY

    To keep you out of harm’s way, ABS, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Emergency Stop Signaling (ESS) are fitted as standard. Bi-Xenon headlamps with an Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM) and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) are also available on certain models.

  • PASSIVE SAFETY

    As well as the optimised body, many other measures protect against the worst. Front, side and curtain air bags; seatbelts with double pre-tensioner and digressive load limiter retractor; active front headrests and crushable brake pedal to name but a few.

THE POWER


With enough pace to keep you in front of the traffic, the Mazda3 gives you artistic license. So go ahead – make your mark.

  • AMBITIOUS VISION

    The exhilarating all-round performance of the new Mazda3 is the result of a mammoth global effort from engineering teams in Japan, North America and Europe. Their achievement: a car that is equally enjoyable wherever and whenever it is driven.

  • CONSISTENT PLEASURE

    Whether it’s accelerating or decelerating; parking or running around; going straight or handling bends; cornering or interchanging; overtaking or stopping – in the new Mazda3, every driving situation becomes another opportunity for exhilaration.

  • EXTREME HEAT

    The new Mazda3 was tested in more than 20 locations in 11 countries. Nevada, USA was one of the environments that enabled the integrity of every component to be analysed under the hottest temperatures – over 40°C, in fact – for later refinement.

  • EXTREME COLD

    The Mazda3 was rigorously tested, including in extreme cold weather – even to below -25°C – in places like northern Japan. So it can confidently promise reliably dynamic performance (and effective air conditioning!) in every imaginable driving condition.
