The third-generation Mazda 3 has been around since 2013, and was given a facelift back in July 2016. A next-generation model is to be expected, and we now have some preliminary details thanks to PCAuto.
Photos of the new Mazda 3’s instrument cluster were uploaded by the Chinese publication, and it shows a fully digital display. According to the source, the display is configurable, with two display modes for drivers to choose from.
The first features a large central dial with the tachometer and speedometer, flanked by smaller dials. A more minimalist setup shows two dials with the engine revs and vehicle speed displayed in separate circles.
Besides the fancy instrument cluster, the instrument panel surround, steering wheel, buttons and stalks all appear to be lifted from the current car. Just how much the rest of the cabin will be changed remains to be seen.
Along with an evolved Kodo design language (previewed by the Kai Concept), the next Mazda 3 will also debut the carmaker’s SkyActiv-X engine, which is set to become the world’s first commercial petrol engine to use compression ignition. It will also be underpinned by the new SkyActiv-Vehicle Architecture. Barring any additional details, what do you think of the interior upgrade for the Mazda 3?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Seeing the hand, it looks like the steering wheel is small and the meter display smaller still.
Civic design win hands down.
SkyActive engine so economical. Not like Campro…..drinks petrol like a 5.0 litre engine
But better than toyota engine. Drinks petrol like 10L engine, yet performs like asthmatic lembu
Everyone can make digital display. U just need to “copy from Audi”
Proton engine better than Toyota? LOL
Give me a break! Enough of your Sendiri Cakap, Sendiri Syok.
Easy logic: If Proton so good, why can’t it cross the border to Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia market?

Looks good. This is why Mazda sells well. Their engineers are always innovating and not sleeping in the office.
So true. Unlike toyota design opis all hibernating and left the accountant to design their fugly crap..oops.. cars now
Meh one day no need for meter display anymore coz all car gonna use the autonomous drive so the machine is in charge and we just the passenger. Heck in 50 years even human are restricted to drive.

Could be that this is a 3rd party mod?
Trending now when Civic started it.
Mazda 3 HB and Corolla Auris. Toyota Mazda alliance 1st JV car.
Renault started it way before la. In the 80s.
80’s ada 16million colour LED display ke?
Audi has the best LCD digital display panel since 2014…period.
Nothing like seeing a needle rise…pure pleasure at kickdown..this is so lame..
Just install obd and put your own cluster then you can see needle rise.
Wat is obd? And cluster?
Buy car somemore must install obd wei .no need la ..many other choices …mazda is failure
This is definitely fake. The dashboard, steering is exactly like the current model. Beside nothing is out yet on production all new Mazda 3.
Welcome to 2018 Mazda.

Buy Mazda Better, Don’t buy Toyota cause Mazda models are nicer design compare to Toyota models. Where Toyota models looks getting more uglier and uglier including upcoming Toyota models, Toyota have not enough safety features compare to Mazda that Mazda have enough safety features which are advanced and also Toyota interior design is very boring and seems that Toyota interior features as well as exterior features is very basic features compare to Mazda models that interior and exterior of Mazda design is nicer, spacious and comfortable. Not only that, Mazda have advanced interior and exterior features compared to Toyota. Lastly, Mazda Design are nicer models.
Space has never been Mazda forte, you compare it same with segment Mazda surely lose.
If you die die want space go for Kia, Honda or even P1
Both are lousy and under performed cars
take my money already!
even the car hav not existed yet
shame it takes Mazda so long to release new models in Thailand. Honda always win the sales
actually the cost to manufacture digital cluster is cheaper than analogue cluster
This looks very cool although most likely it’s fake. Imagine having this display projected to the windscreen.
