The European Trademark Office has struck again - we can now show you the design sketches of the 2014 Mazda3, a vehicle that’s scheduled to hit the market next year.
It’s time for Mazda’s compact vehicle to enter the company’s new, more efficient development cycle and this will also bring a sportier design. To be more precise, the Mazda3 will come with a generously-sized front grille that is linked with the headlights, as well as with a aggressive lower air intake.

The technical details of the vehicle are limited at the moment, but it is believed that it will be underpinned by a modified version of the platform used by the Mazda CX-5 and if this will be the case, the car will be significantly lighter than the one it replaces.

The US version of the car should be launched with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder petrol engine delivering 155 hp, but the model we want to meet is the hot hatch, the Mazdaspeed3 (Mazda3 MPS in Europe), but this hasn’t been officially confirmed yet.
