Mazda3 MPS Performance
 |
AerodynamicsA front grille and body designed to improve air flow have combined to offer improved aerodynamic performance making the aMazda3 MPS one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars in its class. Mazda3 MPS owners reap the benefits through improved stability and enhanced fuel economy. Mazda3 MPS features a drag coefficient of just 0.32 |
 |
ChassisThe chassis of the Mazda3 MPS delivers the optimal balance between sporting prowess and ride refinement. Special reinforcements and increased use of high and ultra-high strength steel give the Mazda3 MPS greatly improved body rigidity and dynamic robustness. |
 |
EnginePowered by the acclaimed 2.3 litre Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) turbocharged engine the Mazda3 MPS outputs 190kW of power at 500rpm and 380Nm of torque at 3000rpm. Responsive direct injection combines with a lightweight turbochrager for stunning acceleration. 85% of torque is available from just 2000rpm while the 0-100km/h sprint is covered in just 6.1 seconds! |
 |
SteeringElectro Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering (EHAPS) gives precise feedback and perfectly-weighted feel while contributing to improved fuel economy (9.9 litres per 100km on the combined cycle). |
 |
SuspensionMacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension ensure agile response to steering input , superior roll control and a predictable, comfortable ride. The Mazda3 MPS includes modified spring rates, larger diameter stabiliser bars and special dampers to achieve higher roll stiffness and for improved control during cornering. |
 |
TransmissionsThe sporty 6-speed manual transmission in the Mazda3 MPS uses a wide gear ratio setting that can fully exploit the wide torque band of the 2.3 litre DISI turbocharged engine C with a sixth gear that contributes to a queiter ride and improved fuel economy. A Triple-cone synchronizers for 1st-3rd and a double-cone synchronizer for 4th establish the right balance between a short C resposive shift and ease of operation. |
