Remember how we noted in our walk-around video that the RM139k Mazda 3 Sedan only came with fabric seats? Well, it seems Mazda Malaysia has duly responded.
At this morning’s Mazda 5 SkyActiv launch, we discovered that leather seats are now being offered free-of-charge on the handsome C-segment sedan – finally! See a leather-equipped Mazda 3 below.

LOL, those who bought earlier really sad gao gao~
No turbo no buy coz skyactive is underpower
Not underpower la.. but also dont expect perform like those 1.4 and 1.6 turbo. (preve not included)
Still underpower even compared with Preve
Saw a M3 on the road few days ago, immediate feeling is “a baby M6”. But, overall it seems to be “too small” to get the sporty and muscular feeling of M6. M3 design is just not up to the level especially the tail design.
u dont work in proton really wasted, proton needed you very much
Skyactive currently serve good HP and Torque for a NA type of sedan. You cant compare NA with Turbo.
They’ve given rebate earlier. This news is old.
I guess they realized their number of booking and the sales of Mazda 3 is low due to it being overpriced where some basic spec aren’t even being offered in it. That is why they added the leather seats free of charge. Hopefully they will add more specs into it and of cause lower price when they CKD it. CX-5 is still one of their best selling model and i hope they could increase their production to meet the demand of the buyers as the waiting list is 6 months long. The model has been launched for 2 years already and still they couldn’t meet the demand yet.
This car in the US is $16,000. Small money to the white man. Office boy can even pay for this car with 6 months gaji.
Here, it is RM139k. Even doctor need to take 7 years loan to pay it off.
Haiya why compare with USA? compare with thai and the price is not far. Even D degment camry is only 135k only. Prices are now reduced!
u forgot to blame umno or bn
next time study harder n work harder n dont wait for govt subsidy while being lazy surfing the net at 523 pm then pretended to go back late as if you were doing a lot of work when actually u stayed back cos wanted to use free internet
there is no reason for any malaysian to be expected to pay for a car while at the same time help (or forced to.. whichever you prefer) fund a corrupt government..
well my boss no problem as long kerja finish..u jelly ke??
No fun la..nobody do 30% reduction + cbu accord 2.4 usd20k parody anymore
From someone who has work oversea unlike this joker, buying a car upright for US16k is uncommon. You have to factor in the cost of living which is much higher. Plus the cost of car maintenance, insurance, petrol and you will find you will be shortage of money every month. So dont try to be a smartass and need to know that conditions are different in different countries.
yes. i agree. you’re correct.
people in overseas don’t buy USD16k car by paying all cash in one go. they must take 7-9 years loan and pay high high 10% interest for 9 years loan. so monthly must pay very high price of $280 for that mazda 3.
same same like you guys in malaysia la. pay RM280 for mazda3. i mean a kancil. yes kancil. same like mazda3 la that kancil one.
Are u stupid or idiot?do some research..extremely uncommon usa people buy car 7 years old.not only uncommon.but non even any bank offer it..they pay all by cash.uncommon too fo4 them to repair accient car.they will sell+insurance money n buy a new 1..im a doctor..my salary here is rm4500 permonth..junior doctor in usa earn usd 30,000 permonth.salary is twice monthly there ..so..put ur brain before your hand on keyboard..
lol a doctor? u sure doesnt sound like one. want to tipu agak2 la please
I m not a doctor.
but my brother.
Fresh graduate doctor salary 4K+ , service in Gov hospital 2 years.
Great.. CKD please. . Price not so right for this category.
Though a bit pricey, its still better than Altis.
indeed. the engine can tapao toyota’s dual vvt-i easily~ :D
read the recent review of altis..a sedan that can be considered as the best city car. lol.
I was told the 3 is offered with cloth seats as standard for 136k, CBU from Japan. For an extra 3k, 139k will get one a 3 with locally fitted leather seats.
For the price of Mazda 3, I will take an Accord anytime :)
Two yrs down the road, ur accord also drop down the gutter when the new Proton chairman aka Dr M makes new Accordana.
Mazda 3 can tapau the D-segment Accord anytime. Learn the horsepower and torque comparison. The Skyactive engine 2.0 is better than the 2.0 Honda.
sales no good?who’s laughing now…haha
RM139K for this segment is a bit overkill.
It still short of an Auto Cruise function and electronically adjustable seats.. having these two will make the car a good buy.
Forget the leather seats, we want iActivesense. I’d gladly trade the leather seats for iActivesense anyway.
Yeah…Totally agree..Please give us the i Activesense in Mazda 3 and CX-5 too.
Forget the leather seats, i would trade leather seats for Manual Transmission, Auto Cruise, and Big Tachometer in the center!
The spec is nice and better HP and NM….the price abit expensive than others maker…however the steering looks “kosong” without Auto cruise control
Yea… are they going to give free upgrade for those that bought the m3 earlier?
very lucky for late buyer, good incentive but i think much better if use for extra free service….
My money will go to XV.. AWD.. 7.7L/100. Can roam anywhere.
CKD faster.
7.7l that number is useless unless you go travelling mostly on highway. Be in sucky traffic jam in city and there you burn your fuel like no tomorrow
WHAT THE F MAZDA?!?!?! I JUST RECEIVED MY UNIT 2 WEEKS AGO AND SUDDENLY YOU DECIDE TO RELEASE A NEW ONE WITH LEATHER SEATS AT NO COST?!
F YOU BERMAZ. F YOU!
I am happy to see you unhappy with Bermaz, so kolian that u bought 139k w no leather seat. My vios eventhought below 100k also equip with leather seat. What a shame Mazda Malaysia.
So kolian that you bought Vios for nearly RM100k in order to get leather seats. You really kena tipu by UMW.
My 10 year old Kelisa Limited edition 2x cheaper than your Vios also equip with leather seat. What a shame UMW Toyota.
Epic! *Clap*
HAHAHAHA BURN BITCH BURN !
To Toyota Fanboys– I have diagnosed your mental state. You have a mental disorder called RV-phobia. It is a diagnosis mostly common in salesman of Toyota cars. It is a serious mental problem that starts of with schizophrenia (dual personality of being a Toyota airbag and Anti-VSC advocate).
There is only one treatment for it – you have to stop selling Toyota’s and start selling Proton’s and Korean cars. After which you will be fully cured and no longer be a menace to society that you are now.
Alternatively, you could please the rest of the 99% of the Malaysian population by jumping off the new Penang Second Bridge.
I do hope my diagnosis has been helpful to you. Please share this new knowledge with your fellow friends like Allan Subang Toyota and Sam Loo among others.
EPIC WIN COMMENT!
That sucks dude!
It happens to other brands too, 1st batch buyers who provide the support to the brand always lose out. I pun sudah kena, last year bought the new CRV which doesn’t include reverse sensor, boot tray & toneau cover as standard. 1 monthslater, Honda msia give all those as standard while the price remain the same. Total ripp off…
My 12 year old crv got reverse sensor… Wth
My 9 year old savvy also got reverse sensor
Even my previous 20 years old also got reverse sensor. although is aftermarket brand and DIY 1. LOL
I need more popcorn please.. :P
we don’t blame the makers, we blame the govt.
140k….single zone aircon??
What about the digi speedo? the BLIS? the dual zone aircond? the auto cruise control? the electronic adjustable seats? come on bermaz. it’s 139k for god’s sake.
Yea, my 6 mth old ford focus has 4 of 5 items u listed above at >15k cheaper…
not to mention the heads up display too, though it’s minor
Those who bought it earlier batch & show off on streets can throw shoes at Ben Yeoh..
RM139k ? Take Accord lahh…
Stupid guy gets it ALL OF IT.. Rm139k…
>still not worth it!! sorry mazda. kbai.
mazda msia are greedy , no wonder the sales also bad
See who is behind it.. :)
Wrong. Mazda local assembly cant fulfill overflowing demand. Their short of cars to sell while the demand is high.
Only newbie will buy this. Overpriced car, poor rear legroom, poor headroom, manual seats adjustment, no GPS, no reverse camera, no cruise control, no auto rain sensor, poor boot room. I rather get a mazda 6 2.0
YMAZDAY should not be a liar as Bermaz started giving the option to take cash rebate or free leather seats when they held the roadshow started in One Utama.
Bermaz should bring in the Mazda3 high specs and place it at 139K instead of bring in mid specs with that sky high price.
Why was I not informed of this? If this is true then it would be good. Should I contact my dealer or send an e-mail to Bermaz?
Yup, Mazda SA already confirmed either rebate 3k or free upgrade to leather seats in end-Feb. I didn’t took the offer though as I felt the car is still too basic. Waited 2mths for the 1k refund.
YMAZDAY, either u r a basher or your agent telan the 3k.It must feel goodgetting all those thumbs up.
Still very overpriced. This is showing us how greedy sushi brands and stupid malaysians are still buying. KIA, Peugeot are already have their C segment cars at 90K.
Where is the HUB AND IACTIVESENSE?
I presume new Sylphy basic spec is almost the same spec with this, or slightly better?
Basic spec 115K Sylphy with saving of 24K could be very handful for other things…
I need auto cruise for my highway drive. Even H city top spec has it.
Like Chevy, Mazda think most Malaysians sohai, nw they cip sel but too late coz u insulted our intelligence
Funny, i test drove this car last week and found the interior quality worse than competitors, all the arm rests are made of rough rubbery plastic, air con got no display n very slow to cool, gps doesn’t work, car looks good n big outside but inside feels like vios size, trunk also very small… rm139k is asking too much…just saying…
Are you sure the boot size is small? you comparing against which car? I think it’s even bigger then the BMW 3 series boot and the arm rest is leather. GPS didn’t work in the car probably coz they didn’t insert the SD card with the map. Agree that air con got no display.
Mazda 3 overpriced and inferior spec compared other region
to the public who is interested to buy this car, hold off the purchase as BERMAZ will add more accessories when their sales is bad
who knows they will add the HUD, BLIS etc if this round of promotion doesn’t work for their sales..
Thats right, and by 2017 there will be a campaign to not buying any car until government reduce car prices by 20%
I think at 139K the spec must be justified by the price.. but sadly, it is not at the moment. We Malaysians are quite price-sensitive where higher asking price for a car comes with a higher expectation, particularly if the brand is not locally mainstream.
While I’ve not driven it, I have sat in it. Its a tight squeeze inside, probably worst interior space for a C segment in malaysia. Also, some doors have hard plastics (rear doors if I recall correctly), while some padded plastics (front doors). Thats just weird. Dare I say, the Toyota Altis is a better car. Horrors of horrors.
Too little too late …
In simple, too pricey, walk away…..
with that price i rather get accord
Not only too pricey, the 2nd hand value is the worse among all Japanese makers. It is like buying a Volvo. Thats why i prefer to get used Mazda cars rather than a new unit
I went to Mazda showroom today, and guess what, a person that I spoke with told me that 1.6l skyactive is coming around this week at around 104k with discount some more…
look like cheap leather
