Mazda has launched the new Mazda 3, a model that has become a leader within its segment since its launch four years ago, and has received more than ninety awards throughout the automotive world.
The new Mazda 3 with its improved design featuring sophisticated styling and technical innovations accentuating all aspects has made it a flagship model for the future.
AGGRESSIVE AND DYNAMICThe Mazda 3 vehicle of the new generation of Mazdas has an imposing presence on the tarmac. Its sculpted silhouette of a character line that rises from the bottom of the doors and the rear is a legacy of its predecessor but with an image more powerful.
The design of the new Mazda 3 is unique in the segment of compactness, is aggressive and subtle, and at the same time clean and dynamic. It is available in two models of four and five doors, the first being available only as a Sport Sedan.
In addition, the new Mazda 3 has extended its range of color tones in Australia for its 2009 range.
True to its sporting nature the Mazda 3 has a drive equipped with a new screen design featuring a human-machine interface (HMI) developed to facilitate monitoring of all systems of the vehicle from the driver's seat.
Even the pedals have been optimized making it smoother by reducing the accelerator pedal depression travel distance by 15mm.
The new Mazda incorporates important developments in their equipment in four trim models, the Maxx, Maxx Sport, NEO, Diesel, MPS and SP25. In addition, the new models especially stand out due to their 'quiet' driving.
Prices for the Mazda 3 range from AU$30,400 for the 2.0 litre turbo diesel and to AU$43,250 for the version equipped with MPS Sport Pack 2.3 litre Six-speed turbo.
AN EFFICIENT VEHICLEThe range of engines assembled in the new generation Mazda3 ensure low consumptions and emissions in line with the incorporated Zoom-Zoom strategy. The new 2.2 turbo diesel engine recently launched in the new Mazda 6 offers two versions, 185 and 150 horsepower, the first being available only in the Sport model.
This is the first vehicle that uses single nanotechnology to reduce the use of precious metals, with an impact on cost saving and environmental conservation.
In addition, the new Mazda 3 is an example of aerodynamic efficiency with one of the best ratios in the segment, readings of 0.28 (saloon) and 0.30 (hatchback) of the five door Sport model ensures a high level of aerodynamic stability in driving, aids in reducing energy consumption and aerodynamic noise at high speeds.
These improvements together with the reduction in weight, the rigid body of the vehicle, its optimized suspension and steering, and the advances in active and passive safety features further offer a sense of security in the new 2009 Mazda 3.
