Mazda Mazda3
The new generation of the Mazda3 sedan and Mazda3 Sport hatchback has arrived. Featuring a more mature version of Mazda's award-winning KODO design, these two models keep raising the bar in terms of styling and refinement. In fact, their interior is much quieter now. The biggest news for compact-car buyers is the addition of an AWD option. It will be followed later in 2019 by an all-new SKYACTIV-X engine that improves fuel economy by up to 30% compared with the base 2.0-litre engine.
