Becoming the owner of a Mazda 3 car, you will 100% ensure the longest and most comfortable operation of a compact and very playful car, the degree of reliability of which is an example for a considerable number of modern car manufacturers!
Exterior Mazda 3 2014
This car comes out in sedan and hatchback bodies. External changes in the model are not particularly radical, but noticeable immediately. In particular, this model received a fresh bumper, equipped with a modified "mouth" of the air intake. In addition, the front optics of the car were slightly improved, and fresh lights and a modified bumper were installed at the rear. Improvements to such a plan provided an opportunity to significantly improve the aerodynamics of the car. The collection of body colors is 8 pcs.
Despite its rather compact exterior, this new third-generation Mazda 3 model is rather big. The trend of recent years for all car manufacturers is development for the sake of aerodynamics, i.e. lowering the height of the car body. This trend was touched by the third generation Mazda 2014 - 20 mm, which is equal to 1450 mm. At the same time, the width and wheelbase of the new car increased by 40 and 60 mm, i.e. up to 1795 and 2700 mm, respectively. The length of the car has remained unchanged and is equal to 4460 mm.
Interior of the new Mazda 3 2014
The interior of the Mazda 3 New features new trim materials. There is a higher quality black plastic, added silver inserts "like aluminum", the seats are trimmed with durable and beautiful fabric (leather is optional for an additional fee).
In addition, Mazda engineers have modified the transmission lever of the car and the display located on the central panel has been improved. The list of options has been replenished with adaptive bi-xenon headlights, as well as a tracking system for the so-called "blind" zones. At first glance, the dashboard seems rather complicated. But literally after 10 minutes. "Communication" is clear that the electrician does not cause problems just all this and the cars of the first series of the "three" were lacking.
The driver and passengers, by connecting a smartphone via Bluetooth or USB, get free access to a cloud platform called Aha. This platform provides infotainment services, including 30,000 radio stations, as well as access to Facebook and Twitter. Thanks to the function of the speech translator, it is possible to listen to the latest tweets or posts on Facebook. You can leave a "like" or place audio messages, receive or send e-mail, as well as SMS messages - in this case, the sender's name will be visible on the display, and the message itself will be read by the machine!
All information of an entertaining nature is displayed on a rigidly fixed touchscreen monitor located in the center of the panel. In the new 2014 Mazda 3, a head-up, retractable display, called the Active Driving Display, located above the instrument visor, is responsible for information related to driving and car safety. According to engineers, it provides an opportunity to minimize distraction from the process of driving a car.
The engineers of this automaker company say quite a lot about the fact that the Mazda 3 interior has been significantly increased. Indeed, the front seats are quite comfortable, designed taking into account all the ergonomic features of the human spine, and there is enough space in front of the cabin and even more than in previous models.
But the increase in space in the rear seat, as well as the level of comfort in this part of the car, are not as significant as the developers claim and are not particularly noticeable for some passengers. For example, a tall passenger, when landing behind a tall driver, does not have sufficient reserve for his knees, and the process of entering and exiting the car is not very convenient for him because of the low roofline of the Mazda 3 car body.
As for the trunk, its volume in the "treshki" has slightly decreased. At the same time, in the trunks of this model of a car of the European version there is a tire repair kit, and their volume for the hatchback and sedan is 308 liters and 408 liters, respectively. The Russian Federation is expected to supply cars with "dock", which, figuratively speaking, "eat up" a considerable part of its useful volume - in the cars floor niches are small, you can only intend about 70 mm.
Specifications Mazda 3 2014
The buyer is invited to buy a car with one of three petrol power units: 1.5 l, 1.6 and 2.0 l. The transmission is also available in three versions: 6-speed. Automatic transmission, 4-speed Automatic transmission and 5-speed manual transmission. Power units deliver from 104 to 150 horsepower. All vehicles are front-wheel drive.
The engineers of this automaker have modernized the electronic accelerator pedal in the third generation Mazda 3, and also reconfigured the electric power steering - this was done in order to achieve maximum information content in the control process.

In addition, the car body of the sedan and hatchback was significantly strengthened, which resulted in a significant increase in its rigidity.
Maximum tenacious brakes (by the way, there are ventilated disc brakes in front and rear in all trim levels), precise and predictable functioning of the car's suspension, its sharp handling and efficient engines guarantee the temptation for drivers to "drive". The Mazda 3 may not be a supercar, but this car model is one of the hottest hatchbacks and is more powerful than its 2-liter counterparts.
The resource of all parts of the "running" Mazda 3 is matched by the so-called "unkillable" Volkswagen, and its steering and brakes will absolutely not cause trouble to the owners of the car. This significantly removes the "C", especially the third generation, from its gentle and not very reliable 323 predecessor.
