The '''Mazda3''' is a [[compact car]] manufactured by [[Mazda]] since 2003 over four generations. The [[body style]]s have been a 5-door [[hatchback]] and 4-door [[Sedan (automobile)|sedan]] across all generations. It was sold as the {{Nihongo|'''Mazda Axela'''|マツダ・アクセラ|Matsuda Akusera|lead=yes}}{{efn|A combination of "accelerate" and "excellent".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blog.mazda.com/archive/20140605_01.html|title=「アクセラ」が教習車に選ばれる理由とは？！その秘密にせまります！ - 【MAZDA】マツダ公式ブログ (Mazda Japan naming inspiration)|publisher=Zoom-Zoom Blog}}</ref>}} in China and Japan until 2019.

The first generation was produced in Japan from June 2003 until November 2008 and replaced the [[Mazda Familia|Familia]] (also known as the 323 or Protegé) as Mazda's [[C-segment]] model. It was sold in North America for the 2004-2009 [[model year]]s. It was also produced in Colombia from 2004 until 2014, in Iran from 2006 until 2010, and in China from 2007 until 2013.

The second-generation Mazda3 for the 2009 model year was unveiled in late 2008, with the sedan premiering at the [[LA Auto Show#2008|Los Angeles Auto Show]] and the [[hatchback]] at the [[Bologna Motor Show#2008|Bologna Motor Show]]. For the 2012 model year, Mazda began offering the Mazda3 with their newly developed [[Skyactiv]] technology, including a more rigid body, a new direct-injection engine, and a new 6-speed transmission.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mazda.com/publicity/release/2011/201109/110927a.html |title=Mazda Launches Second SkyActiv Model|work=mazda.com |date=27 September 2011 |access-date=28 September 2012}}</ref>

The third generation was introduced in mid-2013 for the 2014 model year. The third-generation model is the first Mazda3 to adopt the "Kodo" [[design language]] and a more complete Skyactiv range of technologies and the first to be made by Mazda independently.

The fourth-generation Mazda3 for the 2019 model year was unveiled in November 2018 at the [[LA Auto Show#2018|Los Angeles Auto Show]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mazda 3 (2019) : la nouvelle génération dévoilée au salon de Los Angeles |url=https://www.auto-moto.com/mazda/actualites/mazda-3-2019-la-nouvelle-generation-devoilee-au-salon-de-los-angeles-6385 |website=Auto moto|date=28 November 2018 }}</ref> For the 2019 model, the all-new Mazda3 is equipped with the updated Skyactiv technologies, including a [[Spark-ignition engine|spark-controlled compression ignition engine]] marketed as the [[Skyactiv#Skyactiv-X|Skyactiv-X]].<ref name="Mazda Reveals All-New Mazda3">{{cite web|url=http://www2.mazda.com/en/publicity/release/2018/201811/181128a.html |title=Mazda Reveals All-New Mazda3|work=mazda.com |date=28 November 2018 |access-date=8 February 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eurokarsgroup.com/news-sg/eurokars/the-all-new-mazda3-marks-a-new-era-for-mazda/ |title=The All-New Mazda3 Marks A New Era For Mazda |work=eurokarsgroup.com |date=10 January 2019 |access-date=8 February 2019}}</ref>

A performance-oriented version of the Mazda3 was marketed until 2013 as the [[Mazdaspeed3]] in North America, Mazdaspeed Axela in Japan, and the Mazda3 MPS in Europe and Australia.

The Mazda3 became one of Mazda's fastest-selling vehicles, with cumulative sales in January 2019 of over 6 million units.<ref name="Mazda Reveals All-New Mazda3" />

The BK series Mazda3 was first unveiled at the [[International Motor Show Germany#2003|60th Frankfurt Motor Show]] on 10 September 2003, and launched in Japan in October 2003 as the Axela. The model was well received by the automotive press for its performance, handling, styling and interior, with some describing it as feeling like a more expensive [[sports sedan|sports sedan/saloon]] despite its value-oriented price.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.edmunds.com/mazda/mazda3/2009/review.html |title=Edmunds.com Mazda3 2009 review |access-date=6 March 2010}}</ref>  Some criticisms have included fuel economy and crash test results (only receiving four out of a maximum five stars from the [[Euro NCAP]] Safety Testing Programme) the latter of which was rectified by making six airbags standard.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071112/FREE/311120002/-1/ehg-crain.hitbox.com |title=AutoWeek review |access-date=26 March 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205124607/http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20071112%2FFREE%2F311120002%2F-1%2Fehg-crain.hitbox.com |archive-date=5 December 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/cars-trucks/2008-Mazda-Mazda3/ |title=U.S. News & World Report Best Cars & Trucks ranking |access-date=26 March 2008}}</ref> In 2006, the Mazda3 was the second best-selling car in Canada and the best selling car in Israel during 2005–2007.<ref name="cars.com">[http://www.cars.com/go/crp/research.jsp?section=reviews&makeid=30&modelid=7491&year=2009 2009 Mazda MAZDA3 Review] by [[Cars.com]]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.edmunds.com/mazda/mazda3/2008/review.html|title=Used 2008 Mazda 3 Review & Ratings - Edmunds|website=Edmunds}}</ref>

=== Design ===
The Mazda3 is based on the [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] global [[Ford C1 platform|C1 platform]], shared with the latest European [[Ford Focus (international)|Ford Focus]] and [[Volvo S40]]. Previewed by the MX-Sportif [[concept car]], the first-generation Mazda3 was available in two body styles, a four-door [[fastback]] [[Sedan (automobile)#Fastback sedans|sedan/saloon]], marketed as a "4-door [[coupé]] style" in Europe, and a five-door [[hatchback]], branded the Sport version in Canada, Japan, and the United States. Design work began under chief designer Hideki Suzuki in 1999 at three Mazda design centres in California, United States; Frankfurt, Germany; and Hiroshima, Japan. By 2001, Hasip Girgin's design was chosen as a finalist. Girgin was sent to work in Hiroshima for 6 months, after which the final design was frozen for scheduled 2003 production.

The front suspension comprises [[MacPherson strut]]s, with [[coil spring]]s and an [[anti-roll bar]]. The rear suspension is a Ford-designed "E-link" [[multi-link suspension]], with four locating links per wheel and an anti-roll bar, suspended on coil springs that are mounted inboard of the [[shock absorbers]] to reduce suspension intrusion into the cargo area. The first generation Mazda3 has been known to have spontaneous piston failure in the form of the piston itself cracking which is a result of manufacturing anomalies that has plagued a small percentage of the normally reliable car. Four-wheel [[Disc brakes]] are fitted, with {{convert|300|mm|in|abbr=on}} discs in the front and {{convert|279|mm|in|abbr=on}} discs in the rear; [[anti-lock braking system|ABS]] and [[electronic brake force distribution]] are available as standard, depending on the model. Wheel and tire sizes vary with model, from 15-inch on base models to optional 17-inch wheels on upper-level models. The Mazda3 was used as a regular [[police car|police patrol car]] by the [[Public Security Police Force of Macau]] alongside the [[Toyota Corolla]] and the [[Honda Civic]] [[police car]]s in [[Macau]], China.

When first introduced, United States-market Mazda3 models were available in only two trim levels, i and s, with the 2.0&nbsp;L and 2.3&nbsp;L engines, respectively. Since then Mazda has introduced additional models under the Touring and Grand Touring labels. British Mazda3s are offered in S, TS, TS2, Sport, and a top end 2.3&nbsp;L turbocharged Mazda3 MPS ([[Mazdaspeed|Mazda Performance Series]]) models. Since April 2008, when there was a mainly cosmetic facelift of the Mazda3, there have been some changes to the trim designations for UK cars, with the models now being the entry-level S, then Takara (which replaces TS and TS2), the Tamura Special Edition and the Sport and MPS as before.

All three models use the [[Straight-four engine|inline-4]] [[Mazda MZR engine]], with various types, displacements and outputs including the [[Mazda Z engine#MZ-CD|MZ-CD]] [[turbo-diesel]], depending on model and market. Transmissions are a five-speed [[manual transmission]] and a four-speed [[automatic transmission]]; since the 2006 model year, a five-speed automatic is optional on models with the 2.3 L engine. This transmission has now been made standard on the 2.0 L engine in Japan (FWD models only), as part of a minor facelift in early 2008 which includes different front/rear bumper designs, new wheel designs and body colors, stiffened chassis, and better interior materials. The MPS / Mazdaspeed version is only available with a six-speed manual.

==== Performance ====
Official performance figures for the European Mazda3 1.4 S, the lowest-powered model, are {{convert|0-100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 14.3 seconds, with a maximum speed of {{convert|170|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. ''[[Wheels magazine]]'' reported an 8.7-second 0–100&nbsp;km/h time for the Australian 2.0 model in its May 2004 issue.

The 1.6 CiTD 80&nbsp;kW diesel (as sold in Europe) with a five-speed manual does {{convert|0-100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 11.6 seconds and has a top speed of {{convert|182|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} according to the official Mazda specifications.

In test results for the 2012 Mazda3 Maxx Sport five-door 2.0-litre engine, it has been reported as having a {{convert|0-100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} acceleration time of 9.2 seconds and a top speed of {{convert|190|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.

In its test results for the 2004 Mazda3 five-door with the 2.3-litre engine, ''Car and Driver'' magazine reported a {{convert|0|–|60|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} acceleration time of 7.4 seconds and a [[governor (device)|governor-limited]] top speed of {{convert|190|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.

Car and Driver documented the acceleration of a 2007 Mazda3 four-door sedan. Equipped with a 2.3-litre engine and 5-speed manual transmission, the Mazda3 has a 0{{convert|-60|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} time of 7.3 seconds and completes the quarter mile in 15.8 seconds at {{convert|88|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Quickest Cars of 2007: Less than $20,000|url=http://www.caranddriver.com/features/the-quickest-cars-of-2007-less-than-20000-fourth-place-2007-mazda-3-s-page-1|website=Car and Driver|date=April 2007|publisher=Hearst Corporation|access-date=25 June 2014}}</ref>

The fuel consumption of these models averages in the {{convert|10|L/100 km|mpgus mpgimp|abbr=on}}, with the 2-litre 2008 Mazda3 automatic-transmission model scoring a {{convert|10|L/100 km|mpgus mpgimp|abbr=on}}/{{convert|7.6|L/100 km|mpgus mpgimp|abbr=on}} city/highway [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA)  rating.

=== 2006 ===
For the 2006 model year, Mazda added [[variable valve timing]] and [[Variable Length Intake Manifold|variable-length intake runners]] to the 2.0-litre engine resulting in a power increase to {{convert|150|bhp|kW PS|0|abbr=on}}. The automatic transmission used in the S trim Mazda3 with the 2.3-litre engine was changed from a four-speed to a five-speed design. The larger engine was now PZEV-certified (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) for vehicles sold in California and other states that have adopted California automotive emission standards. The smaller engine had already been PZEV-certified. The color palette was also simplified in 2006, with the deletion of Canary Yellow and Lava Orange Mica.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.topspeed.com/cars/mazda/2006-mazda-mazda3/|title=2006 Mazda Mazda3|work=TopSpeed.com |date=24 May 2006 |access-date=9 February 2019}}</ref><ref name="motor-car.net"/>

=== 2007 ===
The 3 received a minor cosmetic facelift for the 2007 model year with minimal exterior, interior and mechanical changes. On base models, the black plastic at the top of the grille became body-colored. The front fascia and bumper were changed with a floating foglight design and the lower air intake opening was reshaped to better resemble the typical "Mazda five-point face." All Mazda3 sedans and five-doors gained the same "Axela" clear-lens style rear tail-lights as the SP23 model, which in 2007, Mazda brought out the Mazda Axela similar to the [[Mazda6]] Atenza. In addition, the Grand Touring trim also featured LED brake lights. The LED brake lights were added to compete with the growing trend of higher-end vehicles using LED tail lamps for more visible light output. The range of alloy wheels were redesigned, featuring a 17-inch alloy wheel for the Grand Touring version. The rear fascia was slightly changed adding a notch on the bumper cover of the sedan. Several new exterior colors were added, phantom blue, a copper red metallic (April 2008), Aurora Blue and dark cherry.

The interior of the Mazda3 was offered with several new color choices and an audio jack in the centre console, allowing the use of digital music players. Also, Takara models, which were introduced in the 2008 upgrade, added climate control and 6-[[Compact disc|CD]] autochanger to the TS specification.<ref name="motor-car.net"/>

The 2007 model also includes less visible mechanical changes. The keyless entry system was improved. Reinforcements to the body shell improve overall chassis rigidity. The front dampers of the [[MacPherson strut|MacPherson strut suspension]] have been re-tuned to quicken steering response and reduce understeer. The hydraulic dampers of the multi-link rear suspension were also re-tuned to match the front suspension changes. Mazda engineers and designers addressed concerns regarding cabin noise level by redesigning or changing multiple systems and adding sound-deadening material to the roof lining and hood panel.<ref name="motor-car.net"/>

The bumper-to-bumper warranty was reduced to 36 months / 36,000&nbsp;miles while the powertrain warranty was increased to 60 months / 60,000&nbsp;miles in most markets. In the UK, all Mazda3s have a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty, 3-year roadside assistance and 12 year anti perforation warranty as standard.<ref name="motor-car.net"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.auto123.com/en/new-cars/technical-specs/mazda/3/2007/base/touring-edition/ |title=Technical Specifications: 2007 Mazda 3 Touring Edition|work=auto123.com |date=2007 |access-date=9 February 2019}}</ref>

Canadian-spec Mazda3s received standard seat-mounted side-airbags and body-shell-mounted side-curtain airbags across the model range. Previously, both airbag types were not available.<ref name="motor-car.net"/>

=== 2008 ===
An additional trim level included the Sport GX with a 2.0 L engine, previously all Sport hatchbacks had a 2.3 L engine and came only in GS or GT trims. Compared to the GX sedan, the GX hatchback has body-colored door handles, and fog lamps. Options for the Sport GX include air conditioning, a convenience package containing power accessories and 15-inch alloys, and a rear trunk spoiler.<ref name="motor-car.net"/>

The GS sedan received standard 16-inch alloy wheels, previously only available with the moonroof option, while the GX had 15-inch alloy wheels added to the convenience package (which includes steering-wheel mounted audio controls, power windows, power locks, and remote entry). The GS hatchback now comes with factory-installed air conditioning. GT models received standard xenon headlights, previously part of the leather package.<ref name="motor-car.net"/>

In the U.S., the i Touring trim level was replaced by the i Touring Value model. This new model added a body-color front grille, fog lights and 17-inch alloy wheels, giving it a very similar appearance to the more expensive s models. The interior also received leather-covered steering wheel and shift knob from the s model. Anti-lock brakes and side-impact airbags, previously optional, were now standard.<ref name="motor-car.net"/>

=== 2009 ===
Initial news reports indicated the 2009 model year would receive a minor facelift by the end of the year with exterior design modifications that included chrome door handles, a new roof spoiler, expanded use of black moldings on the rear bumper, and new alloy-wheel options.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/01/2009-mazda3-axela-facelift-debuts-in.html |title=2009 Mazda3 / Axela Facelift Debuts In Japan |publisher=CarScope |access-date=28 August 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725025906/http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/01/2009-mazda3-axela-facelift-debuts-in.html |archive-date=25 July 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This turned out to not occur in the US or Canadian market. The 2009 model year was only a few months long as production ceased in November 2008.<ref name="cars.com"/><ref name="motor-car.net"/>

=== Philippines ===
In the Philippines, the BK3 replaced the (BH) 323 in 2004. There are three trim levels, "1.6S", "1.6V and " 2.0R".<ref name="auto1">{{cite web |last=Co |first=Brent |date=31 August 2007 |title=Mazda 3 2.0R |url=https://www.autoindustriya.com/car-reviews/2004-mazda3-20r.html |website=autoindustriya}}</ref> The "1.6V" is powered by Mazda's 1.6L inline-four engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission respectively.

It came with side skirts, sunroof, remote keyless entry, immobilizer and leather interior.<ref name="auto1"/>

In 2007, the entry level "1.6S" received a minor update. Updates includes new gauge clusters, cloth seats and door linings, MP3 ready sound system, and a redesigned grill.<ref>{{cite web |last=Morte |first=Jude P. |date=31 August 2007 |title=2007 Mazda 3 1.6S |url=https://www.autoindustriya.com/car-reviews/2007-mazda3-16s.html |website=autoindustriya}}</ref>

=== Australia ===
In Australia, the BK 3 replaced the [[Mazda Familia#BJ|323 (BJ)]] in January 2004. The original iteration came in several guises, "Neo", "Maxx", "Maxx Sport" and "SP23". The base "Neo" guise came with remote central locking, a four speaker sound system with a CD Player among other features. Building upon the Neo, the "Maxx" offered power windows and mirrors, alloy wheels, remote keyless central locking, six speakers and an in-dash sound system. The "Maxx Sport" added primarily cosmetic features, with that including a body kit, front fog lamps and larger alloy wheels. The "SP23" gained a larger engine as well as other smaller luxury features.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-reviews/mazda-3-56549 |title=Used Mazda 3 review: 2004-2009|publisher= carsguide |access-date=22 March 2019 }}</ref>

In July 2006, Mazda introduced its Series II 3. Updates included refreshed front and rear light fixtures, as well updated alloy wheels and a new fog light configuration. A high performance "MPS" Hatch was introduced into the lineup within this update.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.goauto.com.au/future-models/mazda/mazda3/first-look-mazda-039-s-upgraded-three/2006-03-10/8481.html|title=First look: Mazda's upgraded Three|publisher= GoAuto |access-date=5 April 2019 }}</ref>

In some markets, the fourth-generation Mazda3 can be equipped with a [[homogeneous charge compression ignition]] engine called the ''[[Skyactiv#Skyactiv-X|Skyactiv-X]]''. The 2.0-litre Skyactiv-X engine initially produced {{convert|132.5|kW|hp PS|abbr=on|0}} and {{convert|224|Nm|lbft|abbr=on|0}} of torque, though its updated version, dubbed e-Skyactiv-X, and launched at the beginning of 2021, produces {{convert|140|kW|hp PS|abbr=on|0}} in Japan and {{convert|137|kW|hp PS|abbr=on|0}} in other markets, with the torque being augmented to {{convert|240|Nm|lbft|abbr=on|0}}.
