AerodynamicsA newly designed front grille and a body designed to improve air flow have combined to offer improved aerodynamic performance making the new generation Mazda3 one of the most aerodynamically efficient cars in its class. Mazda3 owners reap the benefits through improved stability and enhanced fuel economy. |

EnginesBoth 2.0 & 2.5 litre DOHC engines are specifically tuned to deliver spirited performance. An abundance of power and torque available throughout the rev range ensures that an exhilarating drive is always on the cards. Both engines feature electronic drive-by-wire throttle control and Sequential Valve Timing (S-VT) for optimum driveability and improved fuel economy. |

Fuel EconomyAlong with spirited Zoom-Zoom performance, the new generation Mazda3 also offers enhanced fuel economy. 2.0 litre variants deliver fuel economy of 7.9 litres per 100km (manual) and 8.2 litres per 100 km (auto) while 2.5 litre variants deliver 8.6 litres per 100km (manual and auto). |

Steering and HandlingMazda3's steering has always been highly regarded but now further enhancements in making the steering system more rigid ensures that steering feel is improved. Tuning to engine speed variation improves the level of control and means the car goes exactly where you want it to. |

SuspensionThe Mazda3 range is equipped with MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension. Promising linear handling and excellent ride control, the Mazda3 delivers confidence-inspiring cornering, and smooths out the roughest of bumps. |

TransmissionsAll Mazda3 models feature either a 6-speed manual offering crisp shifting or a 5-speed Activematic with manual type shift control. The 5-speed Activematic on the SP25 is available with steering wheel paddle shift control that puts swift changes at your fingertips. |
