"An elegant fastback with a revolutionary combustion system."

This Mazda 3 represents the fourth-generation model of Mazda's C-segment passenger car first released in November 2018. Back then, it was called the Axela in Japan, but with this model, it went by the moniker "Mazda3" all around the world.

Like its predecessor, this Mazda3 came in both fastback and sedan versions, but thanks to the company's "Kodo" design language, the character of the car became more refined. The shape of the fastback was especially impressive, with the delicate form of the body panels beautifully expressing the subtle transition of light.

Powering the car was a new SKYACTIV engine. The base Mazda3 models came with a 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter direct injection gasoline engines. There was a 1.8-liter turbo diesel powerplant and a 2.0-liter "Mild-Hybrid" (M-Hybrid) version that came a little later. The M-Hybrid was powered by the SKYACTIV-X engine that introduced proprietary spark-controlled compression ignition, a revolutionary technology that suppressed carbon emissions without relying on expensive solutions like the Urea-SCR.

The X Burgundy Selection was a special model with a burgundy interior on the Grade X model. Equipped with wine-colored leather seats and dashboard, this special model exuded a classy, uniquely mature aura.
