Seeing the Ferrari Purosangue reminds one of the Mazda 3 Hatchback

Maybe it's just my mind jumping from one thought to another, but the Ferrari Purosangue actually reminds me of the Mazda 3 Hatchback.

These are two completely unrelated cars—one is an SUV, the other a hatchback; one has a wheelbase of over 3 meters, the other only 2725mm; one is from a super luxury brand, the other from a mass-market brand.

Ferrari is great; they make the fastest cars. But in my mind, brands like Mazda are even greater, as they allow more people to drive beautiful and fun-to-drive cars, just like the Mazda 3 Hatchback.

Among Japanese car brands, Mazda has the most luxury potential, at least in terms of design, and even their website is impressive, haha…

The entire body of the Mazda 3 Hatchback makes it feel like the cabin is being pushed back, even the second-row windows are smaller. This is all just to make the front end longer, and that’s something I want to praise about the Mazda 3 Hatchback.



Moreover, Mazda's cars have a unified, harmonious aesthetic. Whether it's the exterior or interior, the soft lines look very comfortable. I’m not afraid to say it—BMW and Benz designs are not as good as Mazda's, because Mazda's designers know how to restrain unnecessary ideas.

The design of the Mazda 3 Hatchback’s center console screen is also great. It's not just a screen sitting on top of the dashboard; its position is perfect. When you're driving the Mazda 3 Hatchback, you only need to glance left to clearly see the content on the 8.8-inch screen.

Fortunately, the Mazda 3 Hatchback is equipped with the SKYACTIV-G 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 162PS and a maximum torque of 213Nm. Paired with the SKYACTIV-DRIVE 6AT transmission, driving it is already a lot of fun.

Without the burden of a trunk, the Mazda 3 Hatchback's body becomes more agile. With the help of G-Vectoring Control Plus, the car stays very stable during turns, giving the driver more confidence than a Corolla or Civic.

Of course, the Mazda 3 Hatchback lacks space, so it's more suitable for those who drive alone frequently or for families of two for the foreseeable future. Otherwise, you'd have to buy a second car to take care of family needs.
