The 14-strong line-up of upgraded Mazda3 cars was introduced in May 2008 offering customers even better value for money. The upgraded Mazda3 has a number of generous specification enhancements that build on the qualities that have made the medium-sized family car one of the best selling Mazda models in Europe.
Four new Takara models, priced from £13,595 on-the-road, replace the previous TS variants. Standard equipment on Takara models includes climate control air conditioning, electric front and rear windows (with global opening/closing), integrated steering wheel audio controls, driver’s seat adjustable lumbar support, rear seat centre armrest plus 16-inch alloy wheels, leather rimmed steering wheel and gear knob, a trip computer and a 6-CD auto-changer.
The entry level Mazda3 S is available as a five-door hatchback powered by either a 1.4 84ps petrol engine or 1.6-litre 90ps diesel. Additional equipment includes an auxiliary audio jack and 12V power socket, while the CD player is now MP3 compatible. The on-the-road price now starts at £11,440.
New for the upgraded line-up are the two Mazda3 1.6 Sport models (hatchback and saloon), both priced at £14,995 until 31 December –– a saving of £210. These models have most of the range-topping equipment from the 2.0 Sport –– such as the full Sport styling kit, 17-inch alloy wheels, Xenon headlights, rain sensing wipers and autolights, rear combination lamps with LED lights and a premium BOSE® audio system with seven speakers –– and three new items, chrome exhaust, black interior trim with red stitching and privacy glass.
The three Mazda3 2.0 Sport models are upgraded to feature leather seats as standard. The two petrol versions are priced at £15,995 and the diesel at £17,395 until 31 December –– a saving of £610.
Mazda3 possesses one of the segment’s best active and passive safety packages. Active measures include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) as standard on all models. Passive measures encompass driver and front passenger airbags, front side airbags, full-length curtain airbags (on all but the entry-level S hatchback), seatbelts with pretensioners and load limiters, and both a collapsible steering column and brake pedal.
