The Mazda3 small family hatchback will benefit from a more streamlined line-up for its MY27 range as part of wider updates for the acclaimed model.
To date the Mazda3 has been offered with the choice of either a hatchback or saloon body style, but this will be trimmed to just the five-door hatchback going forward with sales of the four-door saloon ceasing.
Moreover, the Mazda3 will revert to offering a single engine option – the 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G unit producing 138bhp – that comes with cylinder de-activation and mild-hybrid technology to assist with fuel economy.
From here, the Mazda3’s grade line-up will increase to six trims with the addition of Homura Plus, which will sit just below the flagship Takumi.
This upper-level trim sees adaptive LED headlights, a 12-speaker BOSE audio system, black leather seat trim, power seats, gunmetal and gloss black interior panels and a 360-degree view monitor included as standard.
At the entry-point to the range, the Mazda3 Prime-Line now gets evolved Smart Brake Support, Emergency Lane Keep and Blind Spot Monitoring technology, while Driver Monitoring has been added as a feature to all models.
Despite the increase in specification across the range, UK prices for the Mazda3 remain unchanged.
