You need a sedan and you want one quick? Maybe you need a sedan and you want a quick one? Whatever the reason that you’re here, the all new Mazda3 Sedan will have the thrills and mod cons to make your drive to town zoom-zoom with plenty of room-room.

Style and class are timeless and if it’s a stylish small sedan that you require, then the Mazda3 Sedan should have the flair and the sporty overtones that will make it a prime candidate for being on your shopping list. Eye-catching Mazda3 looks start with a deep front spoiler that boasts a bold grille and purposeful lights. With a balanced profile, the Mazda3 Sedan is a small sedan that isn’t gregariously overweight like some porky small sedans might be. No, the Mazda3 Sedan has those sporty, athletic lines that are more toned and racy in their lines.

Exterior detailing has enhancements that include chrome exhaust tips, striking halogen headlamps and a range of mica/metallic colours to give you a Mazda3 Sedan that looks just the way you want it to. Mazda3 SP20 SKYACTIV and SP25 Sedans gain the advantages of a sports body kit for the looks and purposeful aerodynamics that these more powerful models must have.

Inside the range of Mazda3 Sedans the appeal continues. Roomy interiors with first class leg room and excellent bum and shoulder room are not only characteristics for those in the front seats. The, often forgotten, comfort of rear seat passengers has been of prime importance when the Mazda3 Sedan designers knocked their heads together. Passenger assist grips, an armrest, and softly honed seats mean that the journey in the rear of the Mazda3 Sedan is restful. The 1755 mm width and 4580 mm length scores highly in a market full of poky little hatchbacks and sedans that are only really adequate for two.

Comfort and luxury features are also off the top shelf. With a Mazda3 Sedan, you can enjoy air-conditioning, Bluetooth communications (all except Neo), cruise control, illuminated entry with a delay fade system, reading lamps, a lights-left-on warning feature, a multi-information display with a trip computer and vanity mirrors. You can equip your Mazda3 Sedan with leather seats, however this is a standard feature in the Mazda3 Sedan SP25. A six-speaker sound system with CD/MP3 ability is standard across the entire range –as are steering wheel mounted controls. Mazda3 Sedan SKYACTIV and Mazda3 Sedan SP24 models have 10 speakers for an amazing audio concerto. Electric windows and central locking are standard. Keyless entry is available.

Safety items are comprehensive across the Mazda3 Sedan range and a result of five stars in the ANCAP crash tests mean that this is amongst the safer small sedans on the road.

Picking and choosing is always fun. There are a lot of snazzy colours and accessories to kit your Mazda3 Sedan. What a great way to show the world what drives you.

Four excellent engines are available. One is the superior 2.2-litre Diesel engine with 360 Nm at 1800 to 2600 rpm. A combined fuel economy figure of 5.7 litres/100 km…now you can’t argue with that! There is a sporty flavour about the way the Mazda3 Neo and Maxx Sport Sedans get along. These are equipped with the technologically advanced 2.0 litre in-line 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC S-VT petrol engine that has 108 kW on tap. The Mazda3 SKYACTIV gets the 113 kW version of the 2.0-litre petrol, while the Mazda3 SP25 has a sizzling 2.5 litre in-line 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC S-VT petrol engine that keeps the time on the road down to a minimum.

The Mazda3 Diesel is hooked with a 6-speed automatic, while a 5-speed automatic transmission or 6-speed manual transmission are sprinkled about the other models.
