Mazda 3

You'd expect great things from the newest model of Australia's most popular small car. But New Generation Mazda3 takes design, refinement and driving enjoyment to a whole other level. It's packed full of features you just wouldn't expect to find in a small car, like surprising Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and traction control. Plus a startlingly handy steering wheel-operated multi-information display, with functions including a trip computer. Even satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity come standard on many models.

Along with all its unexpected features, you also get everything you'd expect from Mazda. The exhilaration of "Zoom-Zoom" handling and performance, available in a striking sedan or sporty hatch body style. Whatever your expectation, New Generation Mazda3 will truly exceed it.

New Generation Mazda3. Everything you unexpected.
