“In design, Mazda continues to explore the essence of Japanese aesthetic sensibilities, pursuing a uniquely elegant and sophisticated style that raises car design to the level of art. Our new-generation design vision models, Mazda RX-Vision and Mazda Vision Coupe won a number of prestigious design awards, showing that Mazda’s new design direction is being well received. Based on these two models, the all-new Mazda3 sedan and hatchback have very distinct personalities. The latest SKYACTIV Technologies based on our human-centered development philosophy are incorporated into the all-new Mazda3. Mazda’s SKYACTIV-Vehicle Architecture was developed to maximize the human body’s inherent ability to balance itself. It offers more comfortable and less tiring driving and enables all occupants to respond quickly to environmental changes, while the latest SKYACTIV engines provide responsive driving in any situation,” said Mr Niinai.

Mr Wee added, “Within Singapore, the Mazda3 has consistently been one of our most popular and best-selling models. We have sold over 15,000 units of Mazda3 in Singapore since Trans Eurokars took over the distribution of Mazda in 2011. I am absolutely confident that the all-new Mazda3 with its elegant and sophisticated design and styling, and next generation technology will raise the bar and scale even greater heights for the brand.”
