The re-styled version of the Mazda 3 car first appeared in July 2016. Since August of this year, Russians can make a pre-order for the Mazda 3.
The brand new Mazda 3 in two trim levels for sedan models and one for hatchback models will officially appear in dealerships this September. However, Russian centers have already begun to accept pre-orders for Mazda 3 cars.
In general, the updated version does not differ much from the previous one. The changes mainly affected the appearance of the Mazda 3. First of all, we are talking about the new improved chrome-plated radiator grille. Also for this model, the headlights were changed and improved, and the fog lights, in turn, became more effective.
A nice addition to the Mazda 3 is the fact that manufacturers have made the Mazda 3 quieter by reducing vibration and noise. The bumper has received a more refined flat shape. Also, for the updated version, rims will be available, the size of which will be 15 and 16 inches. The size and type will correspond to the type of equipment.
The Mazda 3 interior and its devices will not differ much from the previously known Mazda 3. The same spacious interior, upholstered in genuine leather and many modern built-in functions such as the MZD Connect multimedia complex with a 7-inch touchscreen, but in an updated version with improved image quality. There is also cruise and climate control, air conditioning and other useful options. New can be considered the seat adjustment, which is fixed in memory and a system with a camera to prevent collisions with both cars and pedestrians. The changes also affected the updated steering wheel and the appearance of a new button for the parking brake.
However, for the brand new Mazda 3, a new driving system has been developed - G-Vectoring Control. It was created for a more comfortable and safer ride. The principle of the system is that in a certain short time the system analyzes the style and characteristics of driving. The received data is processed, and depending on them, the torque changes, which improves the connection of the car with the road. Thus, the Mazda 3 driver feels more confident behind the wheel, especially during cornering maneuvers. Due to this system, driving becomes easier, and the car is easier to control.
No information has been provided regarding the transmission and engine, and therefore it is expected that there will be no major changes in the new Mazda 3. As such, it will feature the SKYACTIV-G 1.5-liter petrol engine and the SKYACTIV 1.6-liter engine.
The power of the first Mazda 3 engine will be about 120 horsepower, while the second is characterized by a power of 104 horsepower. An improved 2 HP SKYACTIV-G petrol engine will also be available. For such an engine, the power will be 150 horsepower. It is known that modern powerful Mazda 3 engines will be more efficient. Also, the transmission will be upgraded to a lightweight Skyactiv-Drive system.
The price for the Mazda 3 sedan will be approximately 1,250,000 rubles. Available for her complete sets Active +, as well as Exclusive. The cost of the hatchback fluctuates around 1,260,000 rubles and is available only in the Active + configuration.
