New Mazda2 3-door for Australia

May 8th 2008 06:50

The very chic all-new 3-door variant of the popular Mazda2 compact hatchback has joined the 5-door version in Australian showrooms from today in an announcement from Mazda Australia.

The Mazda2 3-door variant is powered by the same 1.5-litre engine which develops 76 kW and 137 Nm of power and torque respectively and returns a combined fuel cycle of just 6.4L/100km for the 5-speed manual and 6.8L/100km for the 4-speed auto transmission.

Unlike its 5-door sibling, however, the 3-door version will only be available in two trim-levels - Neo and Maxx - priced from $15,750 (Neo) to $17,960 (Maxx). Optional extras include automatic transmission ($1,650) and a safety pack ($1,100) which includes stability and traction control systems and curtain airbags.

Mazda 3 - More features, improved safety & better value

April 8th 2008 06:50

The aging Mazda 3 has received an upgrade to give buyers additional features, improved safety and value for the popular small car.

The entry-level Neo and mid-range Maxx have been renamed as Neo Sport and Maxx Sport respectively while the SP23 and MPS models remain unchanged. The entry-level Neo Sport now comes with 15-inch alloys, electric windows and mirrors, new seat and door fabric in black and an MP3 auxiliary jack for the audio system as standard.

The good news is that price remains unchanged at a competitive $20,990 for the manual version. The Safety Pack option (curtain air-bags etc.) is priced $1700 and the automatic transmission is a $2000 option.

The Maxx Sport ($25,500) and Diesel models gets newly-designed 16-inch alloy wheels, revised cloth interior trim, chrome external door handles and a centre console finished in Piano Black gloss while the SP23 is now fitted with DSC (dynamic stability control) and traction control as standard. The SP23 ($29,600) also gains seat and door trim from the top of the range MPS in lieu of the previous Luxury Pack option.

The hot-hatch MPS version ($38,750) gets the least amount of upgrades with just a new cloth trim featuring red highlights.

Four new colours - Copper Red, Golden Sand, Metropolitan Grey and Stormy Blue - takes the total number of colour selections to 12.
