Another day, another mega gallery of the Mazda 3. But we assure you, if you like the car this post is worth a look for weekend browsing, as there’s plenty of new static and action shots of both the sedan and hatchback that have been just released by the Japanese automaker, from photo shoots that appear to have been snapped across two different continents.
Yes, there’s both Euro and US spec cars here. Both the Euro sedan and hatchback are the ones wearing the German front number plates in the photo set, while the American spec duo is without a front number plate in the gallery. There’s also some new detail shots of the interior. Enjoy!

Beautiful underpowered car for auto gear lovers! At lower rpm civic ie more energetic. Not to mention turbocharged car like preve.

you can be the most disliked commenter in PT, lol
The SkyActiv-D 2.2 litre engine produces 150 PS at 4,500 rpm and is the most torquey of the lot – 380 Nm at 1,800 rpm.
The diesel mazda3 wont be underpowered at all…380nm from low 1,800rpm, thats huge amount of twist!
unfortunately it comes only in manual
Prolly Bermaz won’t bring it in
Paultan really need to fix this. Can you actually believe over 200 likes and dislikes in these few comments here. This 200 over clicks came from one person in one day.
why not? i believe the like function works only one time for each computer, unless you alone have 200 computer? Also Paultan have over 100K fan in his FB alone, 200 is not even 1% of it. Grow up dude!
beautiful, yes. i like the look of CX-5, but now almost all Mazda cars has the same face from CX5, Mazda 6, and now 3 hatchback and sedan… it become very ‘common’ look so quick..
Mazda 3, u r the best, please come early.
Boss, kira!
Yes, exterior cantiq, tech new skyactiv, and hope Bermaz is generous to price it correctly without omiting 7 airbags + ESP then hopefully this will take a significant market share from others. We want our automotive field to move forward and advance, not stay static at 4-speed auto + 2 airbags or operate reverse gear by starting to omit ESP.
skyactiv is not new, still have much room to improvise
i cant imagine my excitement when i see the real car.
It’s outdated even before launching! Those real pictures are the culprits
This is the REAL innovation, only SMART people buy this and the real NEW BENCHMARK in its class.
NEW BENCHMARK for Honda and Toyota.
Only for interior design. Korean exterior design is still on top while skyactive engine and gear is only so-so in the auto trans
Enough of the photos, Mazda3, just come!
Good looker. I think Mazda had managed to get this one stand out in the crowd of family sedans.
I am looking forward to this one.
Nice
Too bad, Rear seat still dun have air con vent & doesn’t look very spacious (compare to Civic FB)
It’s crampier than civic fd2. Have to check it yourself.
You just can’t have it all.
Love that manual Gearstick! Red IS the best colour for this car!
when is da new mazda 3 coming to malaysia??wanna book earlier !!!!
the exterior is nice
the interior is nice
the specification is nice
but the damn car plate
120hp is nice? LOL
The roof is quite low so the headroom is a No-No for tall people
Mazda 3
1)RV is bad
2)Stiff suspension
3)Bad handling
4)The brand of Mazda is cheap
5)Totally overpriced
6)Kia Cereto or Ford Focus is better option
7)Expensive spare part
8)Rear design copycat from Hyundai
Sigh.. attention seeker. Not yet on market already know RV is bad. You from the future?
Wow, so desperate.
1.Want RV? Go buy/invest in property
2.How you know the suspension is stiff?Have you test drive already?
3.Again, have you test drive it?
4.Cheap? Any supporting claim or just your own cheap opinion?
5.Not yet launch in Malaysia, how you know its overpriced?
6.Again, not yet launch and you are already comparing.
7.You from the future?
8.This I have to agree with you but they copied the good part so its fine with me.
Your overall opinion is totally bias towards Mazda.
u know nut bout mazda…..
Ok let me try:
1)RV is ok ok
2)Stiffer suspension
3)Better than other Jap cars but Conti/proton is better
4)Known Jap brand
5)Overpriced coz tax
6)Options bold down to indivdual
7)Ready for pricy spare part
8)Rear design copycat from Hyundai
People perceive Mazda6 ‘cheap’ compared to Camry? Are you penjaja kueh tiaw or mee?
Which groups of people likes to talk about resale value?
Do you know the purposes why sometimes I intentionally/deliberately mentioned resale value in some of my comments?
Just go read first drive reviews from other car sites. Most of them are praising Mazda 3. Just wait for the car to arrive Malaysia before you started to give comment like that.
Sedan – like
Hatchback – dislike

“like ” here if u like both.

The problem with Mazda is their design becomes outdated fast.. just like the current mazda 3, when it first came out, all oohs and ahhs but it became bland quickly.
Only the current sedan mazda3 looks dated, I still think the current gen hatchback looks good, especially the rear 3/4, i like how it looks wagonish whereas the 2014 hatchback and the rest of the competition like the focus and golf look more like conventional hatchbacks.
Yes, and the previous M6 still looks cantiq to me.
Hmmm… The corolla is bland looking since day 1! This one is still a winner compare to the other japs
Not agree…..current mazda3 sedan or hatch back still better looking than current civic and Altis
If Mazda outdated fast then civic and Altis outdated even look on photo.
definitely a looker. design a bit koreanish. the problem with those kia and mazda they seems to be very unique and smart, but after 2-3 years it’ll feel outdated already. altis nad civic boring design but they’re playing safe. 9 yrs on the road still feel the same, boring but acceptable.
and bermaz makes mazda in malaysia become sucks. big time. LOL
Please bring in the full spec with “idrive” type of audio system. Please don’t disappoint us.
Speedometer with built-in HUD is great!
sedan looks kinda short tho
Mazda sux big time, lol
Driven the current M3.. Don’t like.. No power.. Suitable for ladies.
Sincerely speaking Kia Cereto look better than mazda3.
mazda3 design is seem cool on paper but in real life the design is mediocre(compared with Mazda6)just like any Mazda3 before
went to see cx5..very dispointed with the interior quality and very small legroom for rear seat… hopefully mazda 3 has better interior quality..
I kind of agree with you that the leg room for CX 5 is small.
But if you look at these latest set of pics, mazda3_2013_interior_03__jpg300/ you can see that the guy sitting in there is at least 6 foot 3 and the front seats are pulled right to the very back. And you can still see sooooo much space for the guy sitting behind, wow I’m truly impressed, Mazda has finally wake up on this.
on top of that, he has spiky hair and yet the headroom is so spacious despite the revolutionising coupe design that you seldom see Jap car makers do these days because its so easy to make it wrong.
All in all, Mazda you have truly outdone BMW, Audi and Mercedes for the best C segment car in this century.
what? outdone BMW, Merc and Audi? Bwahahahwhahahah hahha hahaha ahhhah
if we consider the price factor, yes, it might have.
You want much much better value/price factor go for kapchai, much easier.
the interior is trying to copy the audi a6. but no creativity, and much uglier
audi? more like BMW. It even has speedometer like the one found in Ferrari 458 Italia. Don’t mind for the similarities though.
Speedometer looks more like MP4-12C’s.
To me the most beutiful c segment hatchback is still Citroen DS4!!
Yes, Citroen DS4 is the most beutiful car of the year 2011.
This is how people will call benchmark in it class (C segment hatchback)
But definitely not Mazda 3.
the interior quality is great but when this car build CKD in Kedah the quality will be same par as saga sv
Is the wave harmful in the long term usage? Is there any guarantee it’s safer then cellphone wave?
buying a mazda is same like buying a korean car. play safe, choose altis and civic, unless your pay is >10k per month.
Can I put the number plate at other places?
Yes beside the big koala nose and in case someone asks you whether this is a turbocharged car to let air going in, you can simply say “No” (despite an underpowered car). Hahahah
another outdated design and underpowered car by mazda… better buy vios more powerful and evergreen design
Yeah with vios you can jump higher onto roof, with mazda only onto drain. Both are sucks, haha!
I sit vios everyday as taxi in Jakarta.
I so love this car, yet the plate no. position spoil the car front look. I really will shift it at the side so the grill beauty is there. Just forgot wat JPJ regulations is.
Yes if you put it on the side you get ready for an answer, “This is not turbocharged car like evo or preve, just an underpowered beautiful car.” So sad.
ya lor..this one aah..MAZDA – resale value no good, if u want the BEST hanling car with High technology one and BEST design of all ..can anytime choose TOYOTA …TOYOTA is the most reliable engine and gearbox..u buy europe car today..tomorrow oredi drop 50% value…u choose TOYOTA..even 2-3 years..the resale value maintain one!..Thats why TOYOTA is world best and most prestigious maa..u guys need to google and read more!..than u guys can understand!.
Choose value ….thats why we chinese choose TOYOTA maa…and one more things, you want cheap cars?..vote DAP!

planing to buy new car by beginning 2014.. Mazda Cx5,madza 6 2.0 or Ford focus sedan or hatchback…
ford got all tech and lower price.. why mazda soo expensive and only 2.5 get the new tech… weird.. who want to buy 2.5 …petrol pricing is hiking up…in term of design mazda nice..
VW crap.. boring car over price toooo…
Wow.. gear sticks like a Golf GTI, central console like a new Merc+Audi, Speedometer like the old Forte, air-cond vents like the Audi, tailights a Murano, front nose design like the F30 3-series.
They’ve packed all the good stuff from other cars into one! If the price is right, I would certainly consider buying this car :)
Loved this car to bits, great styling and technology.
Read the reviews that it’s coming with 16-inch rims for all 2.0’s. Hope Bermaz will put in at least 17-inch rims for aesthetics.
