Mazda Australia has confirmed further details on its all-New Mazda3 following on from the recent unveilings of both hatchback and sedan body styles.
The new Mazda3 has been re-designed from the ground-up with Mazda’s Kodo design language, and arrives here early in 2014.
Mazda3 will be available at launch with a choice of the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 litre or 2.5 litre petrol engines that deliver significant improvements in fuel efficiency.
The 2.0 litre petrol engine with automatic transmission will use just 5.7 litres per 100km (combined cycle), while the 2.5 litre petrol engine auto transmission will achieve an impressive 6.0 litres per 100km.
The 2.0-litre petrol engine produces maximum power of 114kW and 200Nm of torque while the larger 2.5-litre alternative has an output of 138kW and 250Nm.
Like the new Mazda3 hatch, the new sedan has a wheelbase that is 60mm longer, 40mm wider and 15mm lower than the existing model.
In Australia, Mazda3 sales are approaching 340,000 and it has been the country’s most popular car for the last two years.
