Mazda Mazda3: buying guide

La Mazda Mazda3 In our opinion, this is the perfect car for former sedan owners who now feel that this category of cars has become too bulky. The latest novelty from the Japanese company offers really acceptable dimensions (4,47 meters in length) and a very large cab for the rear legs. Without forgetting Warranty from three years or 100.000 km, which protects against any problems.

However, the sleek and sexy body styles have reduced luggage and headroom for rear passengers. Glued to the road (too much, but a car like this is better than a little hopeful), it represents engines punishable by large crowding out (which increases the cost of motor third party liability insurance) who prefer increased elasticity.

Below you will find all the features of the five versions Mazda Mazda3: three petrol engines (1.5 HP 100 Essence and Evolve and 2.0 HP 165 Exceed) and two 2.2 Skyactiv-D turbodiesels with 150 HP. in Evolve and Exceed configurations.

Mazda Mazda3 1.5 Essence (17.600 евро)

La Mazda Mazda3 1.5 Essence it is the entry-level model in the Japanese car lineup. The naturally aspirated engine has no records for power (100 hp) and torque (150 Nm), which is reflected in quiet operation: a top speed of 182 km / h and 10,8 seconds for acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h.

On the other hand, I consumption they are very interesting, especially those declared in the suburban cycle: 23,3 km / l. Standard equipment of the "entry-level" version Essence (available exclusively with this engine) is not particularly rich: front, side and curtain airbags, rear power windows, radio, manual climate control, ESP and tire pressure sensor.

Mazda Mazda3 1.5 Evolve (20.000 XNUMX евро)

La Mazda Mazda3 1.5 Evolve retains the same strengths and weaknesses as the Essence version equipped with the same engine. The only differences concern price significantly taller and richer standard equipment that includes many more accessories.

A few examples? Bluetooth, 16-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, fog lights, CD player, 7-inch navigator, heated mirrors and electrically folding mirrors.

Mazda Mazda3 2.0 (23.500 евро)

La Mazda 3 2.0 it is the most powerful version of the range (165 hp), available exclusively in combination with the most luxurious equipment. exceedwhich includes, among others, 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, and front and rear parking sensors.

The naturally aspirated unit allows the car to reach a top speed of 210 km / h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 8,2 seconds. All with a declared consumption of 17,2 km / l.

Mazda Mazda3 2.2 Skyactiv-D Evolve (23.900 евро)

La Mazda 3 2.2 Skyactiv-D Evolve this is the version we recommend to buy. In fact, the intermediate setup allows you to already have full standard equipment at an attractive price and a turbo diesel engine, as well as being rich in torque (380 Nm) and very lively (8,1 seconds for acceleration from 0 to 100 km). / h) – already complies with anti-pollution regulations Euro 6 and declares consumption very low in the city (20,4 km / l).

Those accustomed to traditional sedans and wanting to step out of the category may be disappointed only by the narrow sofa and well-finished dashboard but unoriginal design.

Mazda Mazda3 2.2 Skyactiv-D Exceed (25.800 Euro)

La Mazda 3 2.2 Skyactiv-D Exceed it has very complete standard equipment, but the € 1.900 premium over the already rich Evolve is, in our opinion, too much.

However, this setup can be interesting as it is the only one that offers Automatic transmission six-speed, option - 1.900 euros.

Mazda Mazda3: options

La Mazda 3 offers a variety of customization options with a number of interesting options. Only the "basic" version Essence does not provide for such an opportunity, since the only paid accessory is metallic paint (Xnumx euro).
