About MAZDA 3

The Mazda 3 is a compact car (C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the Japanese marque Mazda. It has been marketed since 2003 as a replacement for the Mazda 323 and Mazda Familia/Protegé. The brand is sold as Mazda3, although some performance versions have been marketed under the name Mazdaspeed3, Mazda Axela or Mazda 3 MPS. There are four generations of this car to date.

The Mazda3 is sold in Hatchback and Sedan versions. The first and second generations are based on the Ford C1 Platform, which is shared with the Ford Focus and Volvo S40.

Starting with the third generation, the Mazda 3 uses its own platform called “Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture. The SkyActiv-G (gasoline), SkyActiv-D (diesel) and SkyActiv-Hybrid engines are also introduced in this generation, and the sedan body is replaced by a liftback body. The fourth generation dates from 2019 and won the World Car Awards in the Best Design category.

Some of its competitors include the Opel Astra, Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla, Skoda Octavia and Renault Megane among many others.
