If you mention the brand Mazda, you would definitely think of their rotary engines first, after all, it is a unique secret of the Mazda that stands out from the rest. Today, this article will bring an introduction to the model Mazda 3 Hatchback to help consumers who are interested in this model understand it, starting with a detailed parameter chart.

In the Malaysian market, there are two models of Mazda 3 Hatchback available, with price range from RM 166,059 to RM 175,059. The options available for the modified models are not vast, hence this article will focus on comparing and analysing these two models.

2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback 2.0 High Plus Liftback: RM 166,059

2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback 2.0 Ignite Edition: RM 175,059

The two models of Mazda 3 have no differences in size, both are 4460mm long, 1795mm wide, 1435mm high, with a wheelbase of 2725mm. The trunk capacity is 295L, which is adequate to meet the basic storage needs of consumers. The overall exterior design of the car tends towards sportiness, which aligns with the design philosophy that Mazda's official brand has always conveyed: providing fun driving experiences for consumers. It is reported that the design language of the modified model is expressed in Kodo: "The Soul of Motion." And simplified basic features embody the Japanese philosophy of "less is more." By removing all unnecessary parts and leaving only the necessary parts to convey energy, it became the inspiration for its final design phase.

At the front, the car comes with an upward light design combined with grille that's aggressive in its overall presentation, while retaining the Mazda brand logo that is highly recognizable. The body lines are smooth, which delivers excellent dynamic design expression. The rear part boasts a 295L trunk capacity, and comes with the Mazda 3 model logo, serving as a distinguishing feature of this model. The two models have no differences in overall exterior design and capacity, thus, consumers can assume consistency in the exterior of the two models when making a choice.

The overall interior design of the Mazda 3 leans towards a combustion engine vehicle. Although the overall intelligence of the cabin is not as high as today's electric vehicles, it retains the traditional automobile control feel and mechanical buttons that provide an optional scheme for those who are not fond of electric intelligent control. It's worth mentioning that every part of the cabin is centered around the driver, with a perfectly horizontal symmetrical layout. The central control screen is the externalization of electric intelligence, this car's central control screen is traditional, and the built-in UI design is also relatively traditional and simple. After meeting the basic call and navigation demand, it is relatively lacking in further audio and video entertainment, but this means a return to the basic need for car driving.

Through this article, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of the Mazda 3 hatchback model, so how would you choose?
