Mazda3 2013

Mazda3 offers high levels of driving flair and enjoyment that is the essence of Zoom-Zoom. As third in the line of new-generation Mazda vehicles for North America, Mazda3 embodies everything learned from developing the award-winning Mazda6 and the Mazda RX-8. Mazda3 delivers a superbly-balanced dynamic performance that combines spirited engines, a flat ride with exceptional ride quality, a predictable and reassuring steering feel, and braking performance that inspires confidence.

Mazda3’s MZR engine line-up was developed to meet the diverse demands of a global market. A product of Mazda’s innovative approach to engineering, these engines deliver linear, lively driving enjoyment, with minimal environmental impact, good fuel economy and low emissions.

A five-speed manual, and the available four-speed and five-speed Sport mode automatic transmissions, offer smooth, sporty shifting to enhance the pleasure of driving Mazda3’s spirited engines.

A highly-rigid body structure delivers superior torsional and flexural stiffness, essential to ensuring Mazda3’s superior handling and steering. The steering is precise, linear and predictable in all situations, while larger brakes and linear booster give safe, effective deceleration that enhances driver confidence.

Thanks to Mazda’s innovative approach to safety, Mazda3’s body resists deformation and disperses impact energy in all collision situations to ensure passenger cell integrity and excellent passive safety.
