Mazda made its first impressions of the new 3 last week. And it went pretty well with our readers, as many poured in their satisfaction with the new design. However, it was pretty evident that they would soon follow up with the sedan version of the same.
The new Mazda 3 has officially been revealed by the Japanese outfit. It is going to be 61 mm longer in length and 50 mm shorter in height than the previous generation.
Some detailed computer-generated images of what seems to be the all-new Mazda 3 have cropped up on the internet, well ahead of its debut sometime in 2013.
Mazda has revealed the 2012 Mazda 3. It gets a minor facelift, but the engine and transmission will be new, which will help gain better fuel efficiency numbers, but at the same time produce better low and mid-range torque.
Mazda is recalling over 200,000 Mazda 3 as well as Mazda 5 minivan models from the 2007-2009 model years due to faulty power-assist steering pumps and pipes.
We were not invited, but apparently the 2010 Mazda 3 was launched at a Dubai showroom in the UAE, with simultaneous debuts for the Oman and Saudi Arabian markets. While they proudly claim to be the newest compact car in the GCC, it is also the most disappointing new car released this year.
Hot on the heels of renderings for the 2009 Mazda 3 sedan, these photos show early models of the 2009 Mazda 3 hatchback.
The current Mazda 3 is a class-leading car. But while it is winning awards elsewhere for performance and handling, only the most basic versions come here in GCC-spec form, effectively crippling it against the likes of Honda and Toyota. The all-new 2009 Mazda 3 is just around the corner. To be unveiled at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show in November, the new car is set to revolutionise compact cars again.
