From any angle, Mazda3 Sport styling is a thrilling statement of dynamic grace. With its superbly balanced proportions and aggressively muscular stance, Mazda3 Sport gives visual form to the driving excitement that waits behind the wheel. On the inside, too, Mazda3 Sport sets a new standard of style and quality. For the driver, the sporty meter cluster features blackout-type meters with amber-red backlighting, augmented by indi-rect blue lighting for increased readability at dusk. The interior includes black upholstery, a silver-grey instrument panel insert with a hairline finish, and a dark-silver finish for the centre stack, steering wheel switch bezel and door switch panels.

New levels of performance and handling make Mazda3 one of the most exciting cars on the road. The all-aluminium MZR 2.0 engine features a DOHC 16-valve configuration, as well as S-VT (Sequential Valve Timing) and VIS (Variable Induction System). S-VT continuously varies valve open/close timing according to engine speed and air intake, while VIS controls manifold length to optimize intake efficiency. The result is enhanced torque across the engine’s entire rev range, along with greater power and increased fuel efficiency. What’s more, an electronic throttle gives a sharper, livelier acceleration feel.
