Mazda3 is a standard-setting vehicle that brings together exhilarating driving performance, emotional styling and high levels of craftsmanship. Mazda3 makes no compromises on sophisticated and unique styling and functionality.

The Mazda3 takes these attributes to a new level, offering already improved torque characteristics, exterior styling enhancements, fit-and-finish and interior trim revisions.

Dynamic, solid proportions - created by a long wheelbase and cabin, short overhangs and large-diameter wheels, and aggressively flared front and rear fenders - give the five-door hatchback an assertive presence, even when viewed from a distance. The Mazda3 Sport visually conveys dynamic potential in a powerful and confident way, resulting in an attention-attracting hatchback personality with design flair that appeals to a youthful mindset.

• Bold character lines extending from the prominent five-point grille up and over the hood give a more emphatically contoured
look than the four-door version.
• Unique triangular C-pillar enhances the dynamic movement of the overall design.
• Sculpted tailgate reassures with stability and solidity.
• Flared front and rear fenders communicate tenacious road-holding capability.
• Integrated circular headlamps and rear combination lamps add a distinguished touch to the exterior design.

Mazda3 Sport developers created a comfortable and a pleasingly stimulating interior for four adults, making it one of the most enjoyable cars in its segment. From its excellent modular entertainment system, to seats with firm yet comfortable support, every aspect of Mazda3 Sport’s interior incorporates the lessons learned in the development of Mazda6 and Mazda RX-8, and takes them a step further to deliver even higher levels of driver and passenger delight.

The Mazda3 Sport has an upholstery fabric with an elegant feel conveying a refined yet sporty appearance.

A carbon-grey finish on the instrument panel trim adds richness to the interior, while bright silver accents on the heater controls and gearshift knob bring a touch of sportiness and elegance.

Mazda3 offers high levels of driving flair and enjoyment that is the essence of Zoom-Zoom. As third in the line of new-generation Mazda vehicles for North America, Mazda3 embodies everything learned from developing the award-winning Mazda6 and the Mazda RX-8. Mazda3 delivers a superbly-balanced dynamic performance that combines spirited engines, a flat ride with exceptional ride quality, a predictable and reassuring steering feel, and braking performance that inspires confidence.

Mazda3’s MZR engine line-up was developed to meet the diverse demands of a global market. A product of Mazda’s innovative approach to engineering, these engines deliver linear, lively driving enjoyment, with minimal environmental impact, good fuel economy and low emissions.

A five-speed manual, and the available four-speed and five-speed Sport mode automatic transmissions, offer smooth, sporty shifting to enhance the pleasure of driving Mazda3’s spirited engines.

A highly-rigid body structure delivers superior torsional and flexural stiffness, essential to ensuring Mazda3’ superior handling and steering. The steering is precise, linear and predictable in all situations, while larger brakes and linear booster give safe, effective deceleration that enhances driver confidence.

Thanks to Mazda’s innovative approach to safety, Mazda3’s body resists deformation and disperses impact energy in all collision situations to ensure passenger cell integrity and excellent passive safety.
