Mazda3 MkIII Sedan (2013 - BM)
INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE
The third-generation 2014 Mazda3 was revealed in Australia on 26 June 2013. It now sits atop the new Skyactiv chassis, no longer sharing the Ford C1 platform. It is the third vehicle to adopt the Mazda's 'Kodo' design language, after the CX-5 and the Mazda6.
It has a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.26 for the sedan/saloon, slightly higher for the hatchback.
Two Skyactiv engines are offered in North American markets, the 2.0-litre (with 155 hp (116 kW) and 150 lb⋅ft (200 N⋅m) of torque) and the 2.5-litre (with 184 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque).
In Europe, three Skyactiv-G (petrol) engines are offered, one 1.5L and two 2.0L (at two different power ratings, 120 and 165 PS (88 and 121 kW)); and a 2.2L Skyactiv-D (Diesel) engine is available. Availability of hatchback and sedan/saloon body styles and their combinations with engines varies amongst European markets. In 2014, the Mazda3 made it to the finals of the European Car of the Year competition.
