When the first generation Mazda 3 was launched, it introduced a level of driving pleasure and sense of quality which exceeded its class. Five years later, total sales have exceeded 1.8 million units and the Mazda 3 has won a total of 90 automobile awards around the world. The new Mazda 3 is based on the virtues of the first generation and reflects increasing concern about environmental issues, the rapid expansion of motorization and increasing diversity in the criteria people use the car value. Development was carried out R & D in Japan, the U.S. and Europe work together to reflect Mazda's long-term vision for technology development, "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom", which aims to achieve harmony between the pleasure of the behavioral characteristics and the environment and security. As a result, the new Mazda 3 is developed the original model's acclaimed sporty driving and design, and reaches a top class performance and security environment.
Mazda3 has a lead on sales of the Commodore to the thin end of August, and the location of the Mazda was stimulated to begin in mid-facelift of its top-seller. Additional equipment in all, the Mazda3 models enjoy a price reduction as part of the facelift.
The design concept for the new Mazda 3 was "remaining faithful to an inherited identity while developments in the design to make it more expressive." While retaining some of the dynamic lines of the original total, expression has been asked to create a more emotional design. As a result, we obtained a powerful design that enhances recognition of Mazda's unique value.
Inside the all-new Mazda 3 is a sporty and highly refined cabin. The dashboard extends from the center toward both sides with a dynamic style, as if flexing powerful muscles. The large central display and controls are arranged around the driver to deliver just the right feeling of snugness. The angle of the center console was adjusted after careful analysis of the movements of the driver's hand, producing an elegant and dynamic design. An area of ??soft wood grain with minimized parting lines on the top of the dashboard enhances the interior quality. The lighting control enhances the new interactive connection with the vehicle's driver.
New Mazda3 (sedan and hatchback) is immediately identified by the subtle but important change in the exterior design - a new look front grille, new front and rear bumpers, alloy wheels and the new design - as well as refreshed interior. All variations of score improvements and extras and all the high end of the Mazda3 MPS is available from $ 38 435 and is labeled SP25 $ 31,490, other models benefit from significant price reductions.
Development of the theme The dynamic new Mazda 3 performance was "exhilarating driving". Refers to the satisfaction derived when a car works perfectly concert in the driver's intentions. It could also be described as a sense of accomplishment you get when the driver is able to handle the car easily, and it is just as responsible to his will.
For this purpose, the development team is not content with merely adding small changes to already have a high body rigidity and performance. Rather, they have made every effort to completely eliminate all negative aspects of engine noise, vibration and noise levels in the body. At the same time, the team retained all positive aspects including the audio engine, feel the acceleration, the quality of brake response and control and communication of feelings.
To provide the right balance between fuel economy, performance of the direction of light and a sense of stability, all configurations of the newly Mazda3 are equipped with electro-hydraulic steering assistance (EHPAS) received praise from the top of the first generation Mazda 3. The suspension is based on the Mazda 3, the first generation of the system, and has been enhanced to ensure even more agile response to steering wheel operation, and also to improve roll control and maintain a flat course through further depreciation of the suspension. In the braking system, the vacuum booster has been optimized and the feeling of initial brake application has been optimized. The overall result is outstanding response and reassuring linearity in all the brakes.
A board of three new Mazda is a new man-machine interface that contributes to the feeling of oneness between car and driver. The interior is designed to allow the driver concentrate on driving and also appreciate the level of quality in both design and materials used.
Based on the concept of the development area, Mazda developed the Multi-Information Display (MID). This clearly shows information on all the equipment needed while driving, such as trip computer, audio system and compact GPS system (optional), which can be operated easily by switches mounted on the wheel.
The interactive lighting control increases anticipation of driving experience Zoom-Zoom. For example, when the driver opens the car door, the cockpit spotlight, the inner light and the illumination of lights door handles in sequence, with the counters and display center to welcome with careful driver and passengers (depending on version). The uniform illumination respond when the driver operates the controls, strengthening the interactive communication between driver and car.
The new Mazda 3 will provide an excellent level of environmental protection that complies with the Euro stage 5 (except for the 1.6-liter gasoline and diesel). This was achieved thanks to innovations like the new MZR-CD 2.2-liter diesel engine, optimized engine control, Mazda's electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPAS), outstanding aerodynamics and comprehensive weight reduction efforts. MZR-CD 2.2-liter power is about 10 percent more efficient than the MZR-CD 2.0-liter in the first generation of Mazda 3
