“We are delighted to partner with Mazda Motor Corporation to introduce this fully redesigned model which ushers in an exciting new era for Mazda. The All-New Mazda3 is the epitome and embodiment of the next generation of Mazda cars. It represents the core essence of Mazda’s brand values – uncompromising design, cutting-edge human-centric technologies, dynamic performance and unprecedented quality. And it marks a new design direction for the company which will permeate throughout the entire Mazda range as new models come onstream. It also brings to life Mazda’s aim to make Mazda Premium a reality by gaining customers’ trust and becoming an essential part of their lives through pursuing and refining the distinctive driving pleasure that is unique to the Mazda brand. With a thorough redesign, elegant styling, and a host of new premium features, the All-New Mazda3 exudes luxury in every sense,” said Mr Karsono Kwee, Executive Chairman of Eurokars Group.

In his welcome address, Mr Michael Wee, Managing Director of Trans Eurokars Pte Ltd said, “The All-New Mazda3 is powered by the latest SKYACTIV-G 1.5 litre M-hybrid engine that delivers both driving pleasure and outstanding fuel economy.
Fuel economy is boosted by the M-Hybrid system, which uses Mazda’s new electric device technology to regenerate energy recovered during deceleration and using it to power onboard electrical equipment. It also powers a motor that assists the engine when accelerating from a standstill, a time when the engine benefits from it most. I am pleased to point out that Singapore is the only market in the world to have the 1.5 M-Hybrid model which is ideally suited for our driving conditions. Safety standards have also been enhanced in the All-New Mazda3 which comes equipped with Mazda’s latest i-ACTIVSENSE safety system. All in all, I am confident that the All-New Mazda3, with its refined, sleek and elegant design and styling, coupled with its cutting-edge next generation technology, will raise the image and profile of the brand, and appeal to savvy and discerning car buyers in Singapore.”
Mr Kota Beppu, Program Manager of the All-New Mazda3, had this to say about the All-New Mazda3: “The All-New Mazda3 embodies two characters with widespread appeal. The first is the free spirit, determined to follow their own convictions and not be bound by conventional wisdom. This character is represented in the hatchback. To achieve such a look, we took an unprecedented approach to design that eliminates all character lines and relies entirely on lustrous and beautifully curved body panels that reflect the surrounding environment.”

“The other character is that of a lady or gentlemen who combines dignity with a strong individualistic streak. Their adherence to formality and traditional styles conceals an idiomatic beauty that is breathtaking when glimpsed. This character is embodied in the sedan. Aspiring to create the most gorgeous sedan in its class, we set aside the notion of a C-segment car, removed all constraints and extended the overall length. We overcame numerous technical challenges in order to keep the hood and trunk low,” he added.
The public had the opportunity to derive a first-hand experience of the All-New Mazda3.
“The Mazda3 is a well sought after model in a market whereby customers are drawn towards new and innovative products in tandem with their rising lifestyle aspirations. We have sold over 15,000 units of Mazda3 in Singapore since Trans Eurokars took over the distribution of Mazda in 2011. I am confident that the All-New Mazda3, with its elegant and sophisticated human-centric design and styling, premium features and next generation technology, will be well-received and amplify the appeal of owning a Mazda car. Moving forward, we will continue with our efforts to deepen the groundswell of appreciation for the Mazda brand, and expand the market share of Mazda vehicles through value-added car ownership programmes and continued investment said Mr Kwee.
