Bermaz Motor has posted a revised price list for the Mazda 3 in Malaysia, with the new one effective September 1, 2023 replacing the previous one effective July 1, 2022. The price revision comes ahead of an anticipated update for the C-segment model, which has been touted by local dealers here.
As before, the Mazda 3 will be available in sedan and hatchback (also referred to as the Liftback) body styles, each with three variants. The sedan’s variants include Mid, High and High Plus, while the hatchback comes in Mid, High Plus and Ignite Edition guises. At each variant level overlap, the standard equipment is identical for both body styles.
In terms of asking prices, the 2023 Mazda 3 sees an increase of between RM5,000 and RM6,000 across the range. Here are the new on-the-road figures without insurance, along with how much the price has gone up compared to before:
- 2023 Mazda 3 1.5L Mid Sedan/Hatchback – RM149,320 (+RM6,000)
- 2023 Mazda 3 2.0L High Sedan – RM156,059 (+RM5,000)
- 2023 Mazda 3 2.0L High Plus Sedan/Hatchback – RM166,059 (+RM5,000)
- 2023 Mazda 3 2.0L Ignite Edition Hatchback – RM175,059 (+RM5,000)
For now, there’s no official word on when the Mazda 3 IPM (an internal code denoting a refresh or minor year model updates) will be launched here, and at the time of writing, the spec sheet dated February 17, 2022 remains in place on the local Mazda website. Nonetheless, dealers here have indicated the following changes will be made to the Mazda 3:
- USB-C ports replace USB-A (all variants)
- 10.25-inch infotainment display added (from the High variant onwards)
- Qi wireless charging pad added (from High Plus onwards)
- Wireless Apple CarPlay support added (from High Plus onwards)
- Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) now comes with stop and go function (from High Plus onwards)
- 12-speaker Bose sound system added (Ignite Edition only)
The Mazda 3 will likely retain the same SkyActiv-G petrol engine line-up, with the first being a 1.5 litre unit that makes 118 hp at 6,000 rpm and 153 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The other option is a 2.0 litre powerplant serving up 162 hp at 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Both engines are paired with a SkyActiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission, with drive going to the front wheels.

RM180k for the highest spec Mazda3 is ridiculous. Bermaz share price is going to go downhill.
(Like) 189K Tesla Model-3 base
(Dislike) 175K Mazda-3 Ignite

DOA nippon 2nd tier car brand. RIP
Such a pity seeing Mazda got humiliated by bermaz
RIP Mazda3. Just tapau some money and buy bigger car. Just waste of money buying this smal sized sedan.
Rahmah pricing. We should be grateful to anthony loke.
Took them How many Years Finally added the Bose sound system. Last time tell too expensive, if add bose will be A class price, now suddenly can appear. Bermaz has been robbing us for years. Bet they would like to charge Rm190k but will look like fool next to new Model 3 from Tesla
Where is CX-5?
Stockpiling at depot under hot sun and rain daily
Cx5 top spec pun dah naik harga compared to last year nearly 10 k up
This Mxxxx 3 getting too expensive? Time to consider another Mxxxx 3. More powerful and most importantly you’ll be elevated to tree hugger status. Designed in Murica assembled in tongsan.
Insane price3
Ridiculous pricing. As it is people complaining about honda and toyota same segment pricing. Mazda going higher than both of them. Lol.
Nice what why complain
The power train they’re bringing in are crap. 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm because not turbocharged. Ugh.
I guess we will just see less of these beauty on the road.
And Mazda 3 in China is hitting it’s lowest price ever lol
most people buy matsuda because can get 5 years maintenance free. thats all. so when price increase, thats maybe the reason. your car price including maintenance la.
Giler…..overpriced. Take into consideration of spare parts , expensive maint and whatnot…, this is bad decision and stupid buying.
I can see why they are increasing prices for high- variants with those upgrades….but what the hell is the extra 5k for in the 1.5 variant?
Bermaz, having premium prices doesnt automatically make your cars more premium than Honda and Toyota in car buyers’ minds.
Mazda is over-priced………
There are lot of other brand-names at much lower offer…
