Compared to the previous generation, the price of Mazda 3 has increased by 20-30 million per version. Especially, from August 1, 8, Thaco Truong Hai will officially apply a common price for Thaco's distribution system nationwide. In this review, representing the Mazda 2017 3 will be the 2017 L sedan version.

In addition, I will also integrate information about the other two versions so that readers can better visualize the best-selling model of Mazda in particular and of the C-segment in general during the past two years.

In terms of overall design, the 3 Mazda 2017 still maintains extremely strong and sporty lines with the Kodo design language. However, the manufacturer has cleverly refined some details to bring a "sharper" appearance.

This language makes Mazda 3 full of life like a beast rushing forward.

Exterior

With this upgrade, Mazda 6's juniors will have an overall measurement (L x Width x Height) of 4.580 x 1.795 x 1.450 (mm), wheelbase 2.700m, turning radius 5,3m, respectively. and the ground clearance is 155 (mm), which is a decrease of 5 (mm) compared to its predecessor.

Compared to rivals, the wheelbase of the 3 Mazda 2017 is longer than the Altis - 2.600 (mm) and equal to the Cerato, but the higher ground clearance of the Cerato and Elantra - 150 (mm) will definitely give the Mazda 3 an advantage. when turning on rough roads or when you need to climb the sidewalk in urban areas.

Specifically, a more "sharp" and more attractive detail in front of the 3 Mazda 2017 is the lighting system. The LED headlight cluster is now "swiped" sharp, integrated with AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) technology that automatically opens the lighting angle when steering. Right below, the fog lights are also more refined with a short chrome line. The most advanced version of Mazda 3 2017 2.0L will be equipped with LED fog lights.

In addition, the grille cluster on the car is wider, the chrome border is thicker and shortened., and the Mazda logo is moved to a slightly lower position to help bring a "face" that is just fresh enough. , and at the same time very familiar.

Meanwhile, running along the body are still two gently embossed ribs, the door border is decorated with shiny chrome splints. The only change is that the turn signal lights on the rearview mirror are extended in front, expanding the display range, thereby increasing the reflectivity for pedestrians. Mazda 3 2017 is still equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels with 215/45 tires on the 2.0 version, 16-inch wheels and 206/50 tires on the 1.5L sedan and hatchback versions.

Interior materials

Similar to the exterior, the interior space of the 3 Mazda 2017 has also been "remodeled" extremely impressively, the sporty cockpit is now more luxurious and classy than before.

First, the seats on all three versions are covered with high-grade leather by Mazda. The front row of seats has a sporty design that hugs the body, the stitches are meticulously and firmly processed. The most advanced version 2.0L is equipped with an electric driver's seat, remembering the seating position, while the two versions of 1.5L sedan and hatchback are only "engineered".

In the rear seats, the Japanese automaker continues to provide comfortable seating space and ample leg room for passengers. Besides, there are headrests in all three positions, armrests cum cupholders. However, the 3 Mazda 2017 has not been equipped with air vents for the rear seats, more or less inferior to two rivals, KIA Cerato and Hyundai Elantra.

Next, the tablo panel area on the 3 Mazda 2017 is also improved from materials to design. The chrome borders around the air conditioner, running along the tablo panel are "trimmed", highlighting to bring a more luxurious look to the cabin space.

The most prominent in this area is still the vertical 7-inch touch screen, replacing the complicated button system. This minimalist design is similar to German Mercedes and Audi models, which has made the Mazda 3 really different, far away from other Japanese and Korean rivals. Cluster of 3 rotary buttons to adjust the air conditioning system is neatly arranged and easy to use.

Move down, easily realize the disappearance of the handbrake. Instead, Thaco has upgraded all versions of the "uncle 3" electronic handbrake and Sport driving mode. This is really a very worthwhile change of the 3 Mazda 2017.

In addition, this gearbox area is also slightly adjusted in the storage compartment, the position of the buttons is more symmetrical. The central control knob is located in a convenient position for the driver, in charge of all audio adjustments, entertainment system …

Besides, another remarkable point in the interior of the 3 Mazda 2017 must be mentioned is the steering wheel. With this upgrade, the design of the steering wheel is "borrowed" from the CX-9, bringing a new extremely sporty and attractive appearance. This is also the detail that contributes to helping the CX-9 reach the Top 10 most beautifully designed cars in 2016.
