Verdict

The Mazda 3 Sedan is a straightforward one-variant C-segment sedan proposition: petrol power, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive and five seats. Its RM119,620 entry price is RM45,820 above the Proton S70, RM19,620 above the BYD Seal 6 and RM12,820 above the Aion ES, while remaining RM14,280 below the Honda Civic. That places it toward the upper end of this group’s mainstream pricing.
