Mazda3 performance - responsive, dynamic driving powered by diesel and petrol engines.

The All-new Mazda3 has been developed from the ground up for reliable, expressive driving. Optimised for enjoyment, it provides sports car exhilaration - whatever road you find yourself on.

This really is the sports compact for all conditions. Take to the motorways and the Mazda3 stays firmly in control - even at top speed. Curvy roads and steep hills are equally easy to manage thanks to the Mazda3's engine performance and agile steering. Shifting through the gears, braking, accelerating, idling - those everyday driving tasks actually become enjoyable with the All-new Mazda3.

It's all possible because of technical advancements and Mazda's single-minded commitment to provide a dynamic driving experience. For example, we know a lighter car has better control, provides a more sporty driving experience and improves fuel economy. So we used new materials throughout, including high-tensile steel which is both light and strong. It means the Mazda3 has the best-in-class weight ratio for cars of this size.

It's also one of the quietest cars in its segment: advances in aerodynamics and engineering have ensured a noticeable lack of in-car noise. All you get to hear is your music playing through the Mazda3 Bose© audio system.

The engine line-up has been developed to perfectly balance performance and economy. There is a 2.0 litre petrol engine and a fuel efficient 1.6 litre diesel engine for you to choose from.

Power, control, agility: it all adds up to a high performing, responsive Mazda3 drive.

Select 2.0litre petrol models (Special Order) come with i-stop technology that gives you better fuel economy and further reduces CO2. Read more about the i-stop technology.
