Performance
Responsive power in your hands
Mazda3 puts you in the driver’s seat like no other. Its light weight unleashes sporting agility delivered with a smooth, quiet ride and assured handling. SKYACTIV-G petrol engines are quick to respond, with refined power coming from 2.0 or 2.5 litres. Automatic or manual, transmissions shift gears with polished precision.
Mazda3 brings a new level of driving enjoyment thanks to the full suite of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY – breakthrough innovations that completely re-engineer every vehicle aspect to heighten performance and unleash greater efficiency.
Clever features like i-stop save you even more fuel by turning off the engine when you come to a halt, restarting the instant you want to move.
Mazda3 also features G-Vectoring Control, the first innovation from the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS series of technologies.
The power to perform. SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY dials up sports performance, yet also achieves exceptional fuel economy.
SKYACTIV-G 2.0L Petrol engine
Precise multi-hole direct injection minimises fuel use, while a unique piston design enhances combustion – boosting power and lowering emissions. The 2.0 litre 4-cylinder engine produces 114kW of power and 200Nm of torque using as little as 5.7 litres of fuel every 100km*.
SKYACTIV-G 2.5L Petrol engine
A fundamental redesign of the internal combustion engine lifts performance, while cutting fuel consumption. Reduced friction unlocks extra power, while a 4-2-1 exhaust layout improves efficiency. The punchy 2.5 litre gives 138kW and 250Nm, with consumption as low as 6.0 litres per 100km*.
SKYACTIV-Drive Automatic
Get maximum driving fun with high efficiency. The transmission couples directly with the engine over a far wider range than other automatics. This delivers a significant increase in fuel economy and a more direct, manual transmission-like power delivery and feel. Shifts are smooth, quick and accurate across the 6-speeds.
SKYACTIV-BODY
The use of high and ultra-high tensile steel cuts weight, bolsters rigidity and aids safety. We’ve worked tirelessly to save every gram. Despite being light, Mazda3 disperses crash energy in multiple directions to achieve world-class collision performance.
SKYACTIV-CHASSIS
For nimble, refined handling, the lightweight front strut and rear multi-link suspension feature revised design and firmer bushings. Innovative welding of the front and rear cross members achieves impressive stiffness with low weight. Fuel-saving electric power-assisted steering features a high ratio for quick handling, yet delivers great stability at all speeds.
