5-Star ANCAP Safety Rating
Now standard across the range, SCBS-F helps prevent, or lessen, low-speed impacts. At forward speeds of 4-80km/h, SCBS monitors the vehicle in front to assess the possibility of a collision.
If the system detects a high risk of impact it issues visual and audible warnings, while priming the brakes for faster response should the driver brake. If the driver does not brake, the brakes are applied automatically.
(SCBS-F standard across the range, SCBS-R standard on Maxx and above)
By finely controlling engine torque based on the steering and accelerator inputs of the driver, G-Vectoring Control improves both handling for the driver and ride quality for the passengers.

Mazda3 takes driving enjoyment to a whole new level. It dials up sports performance, yet also achieves impressive fuel economy.* This is possible because it boasts the full suite of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY — breakthrough innovations that completely re-engineer every vehicle aspect to heighten performance and unleash greater efficiency.
Mazda3 also features G-Vectoring Control, the first innovation from the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS series of technologies. Clever features like i-stop save you even more fuel by turning off the engine when you come to a halt, restarting the instant you want to move.
Precise multi-hole direct injection minimises fuel use, while a unique piston design enhances combustion — boosting power and lowering emissions. The 2.0 litre 4-cylinder engine produces 114kW of power and 200Nm of torque using as little as 5.7 litres of fuel every 100km.*
(*Fuel consumption figures are based on ADR 81/02 test results.)
A fundamental redesign of the internal combustion engine lifts performance, while cutting fuel consumption. Reduced friction unlocks extra power, while a 4-2-1 exhaust layout improves efficiency. The punchy 2.5 litre gives 138kW and 250Nm, with consumption as low as 6.0 litres per 100km*.
(*Fuel consumption figures are based on ADR 81/02 test results.)
The manual transmission gives you the wrist-flicking shift feel of a sports car, like our iconic Mazda MX-5. It’s thanks to simplified internal design, plus a finely-honed shift mechanism. The 6-speed SKYACTIV-MT is much more compact and also much lighter than comparable transmissions. Match this with a significant reduction in friction and fuel economy is much improved.
We’ve combined the best aspects of conventional automatic, continuously variable and dual clutch transmissions. So you get maximum driving fun and high efficiency. The transmission couples directly with the engine over a far wider range than other automatics. This delivers a significant increase in fuel economy and a more direct, manual transmission-like power delivery and feel. Shifts are smooth, quick and accurate across the 6 speeds.
New-generation design and materials achieve amazing lightness and rigidity. Key joints are strengthened by advanced techniques requiring no heavy reinforcement. The use of high and ultra-high tensile steel cuts weight, bolsters rigidity and aids safety. We’ve worked tirelessly to save every gram. Despite being light, Mazda3 disperses crash energy in multiple directions to achieve world-class collision performance.
For nimble, refined handling, the lightweight front strut and rear multi-link suspension feature revised design and firmer bushings. Innovative welding of the front and rear cross members achieves impressive stiffness with low weight. Fuel-saving electric power-assisted steering features a high ratio for quick handling, yet delivers great stability at all speeds.

Innovative technology, exciting performance and stunning looks all come together for a thrilling ride. The dynamic style of Mazda3 is the result of ‘KODO — Soul of Motion’ design. KODO captures the moment energy becomes motion. It’s the powerful grace of an animal pouncing, or a human leaping into action. The bold curves meet proudly at the front, where sleek headlamps enhance its sophisticated presence.
A striking presence Bold styling

Mazda3 features advanced levels of safety for the ultimate in driving confidence. Enjoy the drive knowing you’re being looked after with vigilant warning systems and responsive hazard protection, with more safety features than ever before now standard across the range.
Aside from agile responses helping you stay clear of trouble, Mazda3 comes with a suite of safety features that are primed for anything.† Its light weight delivers sporty performance, yet its body is immensely strong. Multiple load paths divert crash energy from the occupant cell, helping achieve world-class collision safety. Six SRS airbags are integrated, including front, side (front) and curtain (front and rear).
The latest in safety is there for you. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with integrated Traction Control System (TCS) is standard. The stopping power of four big disc brakes incorporates ABS and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), which optimises braking force according to the vehicle’s load. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) recognises urgent braking, maximising braking force right when you need it. Feel confident after braking on an incline, with Hill Launch Assist (HLA) giving you a smooth start on re-acceleration. The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) bolsters safety by flashing the hazard lights to warn drivers behind. Mazda3 also gives you high security. Remote-control locking and an engine immobiliser are standard.
Advanced safety technology gives you extra senses
ALH Individually controls a number of LEDs to broaden visibility at low speeds, avoid dazzling others on high beam and extend vision at highway speeds.
(*SP25 Astina only)Operating between 4-80km/h and with Pedestrian detection, SCBS monitors the vehicle in front to assess the likelihood of a collision. If there is a high risk, the system will warn you and brake automatically if needed.
(*SCBS-F standard across the range, SCBS-R standard on Maxx Sport and above.)By scanning external mirrors’ blind spots up to 50m behind your vehicle, radar detects unseen vehicles to alert you of potentially hazardous lane changes.
(*Maxx Sport and above)RCTA assists you when reversing by warning if a car is approaching from either side.
