Mazda2 3-door


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.

2008 Mazda6


Proudly taking centre stage at the Mazda stand this year was the all-new Mazda6 mid-sized sedan.

The new Mazda6 is the second Mazda new generation product to evolve to the next stage, further deepening the emotional connection between man and machine - Mazda calls it "Kizuna".

Mazda Australia also sprung a massive surprise by unveiling a concept version of the Mazda3 MPS hot-hatch in the form of the Mazda3 MPS Extreme.

Tuned in-house by Mazda's Australia Motorsport manager Allan Horsley, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been re-programmed to increase the 2.3-litre DISI turbo engine's power to 210 kW at 5300 rpm and 425 Nm of torque at 4400 rpm.

The Mazda3 MPS Extreme is equipped with a free-flowing two-inch exhaust system, a sports muffler and a 25 mm lower suspension tuned by Murray Coote.

Mazda3 MPS Extreme sits on 19-inch BBS Motorsport rims with Dunlop Sports (225/35ZR19) complete with a MPS monogram on the wheel centerpiece.
