Mazda 3 is characterized by fit and sporty appearance... The sensations of a person from the process of moving on it are really simply amazing. Experts consider this new product to be a successful model, and the purchase of this machine is a wise investment of money.
Exterior Mazda 3 2014
This car comes out in sedan and hatchback bodies. The external changes in the model are not particularly radical, but are noticeable immediately. In particular, this model received a fresh bumper, equipped with a modified "mouth" of the air intake. In addition, the front optics of the car were slightly improved, and fresh lights and a modified bumper were installed at the rear. Improvements to such a plan provided an opportunity to significantly improve the aerodynamics of the car. The collection of body colors is 8 pcs.
Despite its rather compact appearance, this new model The third-generation Mazda 3 is pretty big. The trend of recent years for all car manufacturers is development for the sake of aerodynamics, i.e. lowering the height of the car body. This trend was touched by the third generation Mazda 2014 - 20 mm, which is equal to 1450 mm. At the same time, the width and wheelbase of the new car increased by 40 and 60 mm, i.e. up to 1795 and 2700 mm, respectively. The length of the car has remained unchanged and is equal to 4460 mm.
Interior of the new Mazda 3 2014
The interior of the Mazda 3 New features new trim materials. There is a higher quality black plastic, added silver inserts "like aluminum", the seats are trimmed with durable and beautiful fabric (leather is optional for an additional fee).
Besides engineers Mazda modified the transmission lever of the car and improved the display located on the central panel. The list of options has been replenished with adaptive bi-xenon headlights, as well as a tracking system for the so-called "blind" zones. At first glance, the dashboard seems rather complicated. But literally after 10 minutes. "Communication" is clear that the electrician does not cause problems just all this and the cars of the first series of the "three" were lacking.
The driver and passengers, having connected a smartphone using Bluetooth or USB, get free access to a cloud platform called Aha. This platform provides infotainment services, including 30,000 radio stations, as well as access to Facebook and Twitter. Thanks to the function of the speech translator, it is possible to listen to the latest tweets or posts on Facebook. You can leave a "like" or place audio messages, receive or send e-mail, as well as SMS messages - in this case, the sender's name will be visible on the display, and the message itself will be read by the machine!
All entertainment information is displayed on a rigidly fixed touchscreen monitor located in the center of the panel. The head-up display, called the Active Driving Display, and located above the instrument visor, is responsible for information related to driving and car safety in the new 2014 Mazda 3. According to engineers, it provides an opportunity to minimize distraction from the process of driving a car.
The engineers of this automaker company say quite a lot about the fact that the interior of the Mazda 3 has been significantly increased. Indeed, the front seats are quite comfortable, designed taking into account all the ergonomic features of the human spine, and there is quite enough space in front of the cabin and even more than in previous models.
But the increase in space in the rear seat, as well as the level of comfort in this part of the car, are not as significant as the developers claim and are not particularly noticeable for some passengers. For example, a tall passenger, when landing behind a tall driver, does not have enough space for his knees, and the process of entering and exiting the car is not very convenient for him because of the low roofline of the Mazda 3 car body.
As for the trunk, its volume in the "treshki" has slightly decreased. At the same time, in the trunks of this model of a car of the European version there is a repair kit for tires, and their volume for a hatchback and a sedan is 308 liters and 408 liters, respectively. The Russian Federation is expected to supply cars with "dock", which, figuratively speaking, "eat up" a considerable share of its useful volume - in the cars, floor niches are small, you can only intend about 70 mm.
Specifications Mazda 3 2014
The buyer is invited to buy a car with one of three gasoline power units: 1.5 l, 1.6 and 2.0 l. The transmission is also available in three versions: 6-speed. Automatic transmission, 4-speed Automatic transmission and 5-speed manual transmission. Power units issue from 104 to 150 Horse power... All vehicles are front-wheel drive.
The engineers of this automaker have modernized the third generation Mazda 3. electronic pedal accelerator, and also reconfigured the electric power steering - this was done in order to achieve maximum information content in the control process.
In the photo, the body of a hatchback and a sedan
Besides, car body the sedan and hatchback have been significantly strengthened, which as a result has increased to a large extent its rigidity.
Maximum tenacious brakes (by the way, there are ventilated disc brakes in front and rear in all trim levels), precise and predictable functioning of the car's suspension, its sharp handling and efficient engines guarantee the temptation for drivers to "drive". The Mazda 3 may not be a supercar, but this car model is one of the hottest hatchbacks out there and is more powerful than its 2-liter counterparts.
The resource of all parts of the "running" Mazda 3 to match the so-called "indestructible" Volkswagen, and steering and its brakes will absolutely not cause trouble to the owners of the car. This significantly removes the "C", especially the third generation, from its gentle and not very reliable 323 predecessor.

The success of the first generation Mazda 3 is a symbiosis of successful design, interior comfort characteristics, excellent handling and an affordable price. During the period of release (2003-2009) more than a million car enthusiasts all over the world voted for the "three" from Mazda with their wallets. Mazda 3 in the first version has become one of the leaders in sales of class C.
Nothing lasts forever, and in the modern auto world with its fierce competition it is difficult to maintain a leadership position. The premieres of the new Mazda 3, based on continental body preferences, took place strictly within the framework of the rules of marketing science. The successor to the bestselling Mazda3 (sedan) of the second generation was presented to the public in November 2008 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Mazda 3 hatchback appeared a month later in all its glory in Bologna (Italy). In America, the new Mazda 3 2012 is selling well ( she will also remain a 2013 model) in a sedan, Europeans prefer a hatchback.
The appearance of the new Mazda 3 model 2013 is based on the proprietary Mazda design philosophy Nagare (flowing water flow), tested on and Mazda 6. Carrying out a review of the 2012 Mazda 3, you notice that in the front of the car, the bumper seems to combine a false radiator grille and a front aerodynamic element ... The "smile" of the central air intake together with the aesthetic load is practical, it is designed to direct air flows for effective cooling of the motor.
The front fairing in its arsenal also boasts side slots of the air ducts with foglights integrated into it. The almond-shaped front lighting is the watershed between the bonnet and the rounded front wheel arches. In profile, the 2012 Mazda 3 review demonstrates the swift lines of the sidewalls, gently flowing down to the stern of the roof, they personify the dynamics and sportiness of the car from Mazda. The rear of the second generation of the triplet, having absorbed the best features of the stern of its predecessor, acquired a more solid appearance. The lighting technology in the family tradition has something in common with the older Mazda 6.
Dimensions and ground clearance
Having survived the reincarnation, the new Mazda troika retained its familiar features, becoming more harmonious. Increased in length, the increase was 45-90 mm, depending on the body, while maintaining the size of the base. Dimensions Mazda 3 sedan and hatchback - length 4580 (4460) mm, width - 1755 mm, height - 1470 mm, base - 2640 mm. Speaking about dimensions, it is important to note which ground clearance(clearance) Mazda 3 updated - 155 mm.
Ergonomics and interior trim
Devices in two separate wells, soft plastic of the front dashboard, massive central tunnel with good ergonomics of control. Salon Mazda 3 of the second generation has a multifunctional, grippy steering wheel, comfortable front seats with characteristic lateral support. Driver's and passenger's seats with an extended cushion and a wide range of adjustments (optionally with an electric drive). The first row is comfortable and convenient, which cannot be said about the seats in the second row. There is still a lack of legroom in the back, only two people will be able to comfortably accommodate. Salon Mazda 3 evokes the idea of the similarity of the interior decoration modern machines... It seems to be made with high quality and beautiful, but boring. Only the “assistant” - the manufacturer's logo on the steering wheel - helps to distinguish the salons. The first Mazda 3 was embarrassed by its weak sound insulation, the engineers managed to improve its performance (by as much as 10%).

Reviews of Mazda 3 owners (found on the Internet)
Specifications The chassis for the updated Mazda 3 migrated from its predecessor, front and rear independent suspension. The front suspension of the troika is with MacPherson struts, the rear suspension is multi-link.
On the Russian market, Mazda 3 is offered only with gasoline engines: This design is applicable not only to Mazda 3, but also to two and three. Mazda 3 clearance If you conduct a review of the car, then you can pay attention that front bumper is the unifying element, it connects the front aerodynamic elements and the radiator grille.
The central air intake carries not only an aesthetic load, but also a practical one. It is necessary in order to control and direct air currents in such a way that the motor is cooled at an efficient level.
In the side slots of the air duct, there are built-in fog lamps located in the front fairing. Front lighting is located between the hood and the front wheel arches, which is also a watershed.
If you look at the profile of the car, you can see the swift lines on the side, which gently flow to the stern of the Mazda 3, which personifies the car's sporty direction and dynamics.
The increase in length is one of the changes in the model. The car has become longer from 45 to 90 mm, the length of the car depends solely on the type of body. The size of the Mazda 3 in length is mm, if a sedan, and mm, if a hatchback. The width of the car -, height, base of Mazda mm. When discussing the dimensions of the car, it is necessary to say what is the clearance of the Mazda 3.
Actually standard - mm. Which is characteristic of these cars.
Mazda 3 2008, 105 hp with. - observation
The front seats have a fairly wide range of adjustment options. Unlike the front seats, we note that passengers who use the seats in the second row are unlikely to feel comfortable enough. There is the same lack of space, no more than two people can comfortably accommodate.
Like all machines of this lineup, they have a high-quality interior, everything is beautiful, but rather meager and boring. The salons can be distinguished solely by the logo on the steering wheel.
Vehicle clearance is the distance between its lowest point and the road surface on which the vehicle is traveling. When choosing a car, for various conditions of its use, this parameter is important. Mazda 3 is designed for urban driving and good roads... Then all the positive benefits of this model are fully felt. If you need an SUV, choose an SUV, a simple rule of thumb.
The ground clearance of the Mazda 3 has always been small. The manufacturer's data say that it is 155 cm, but when measuring the last basic model, it turns out 140 cm. In order not to sit on the "belly", you need to choose a car for the current tasks. When applying "speed bumps" in our cities, the choice of a car becomes very important. How to make right choice? What should you pay attention to?
Once again about the clearance
Knowing all about the ground clearance of your car will help you visit a car repair shop less often. This saves money and nerves. Do not run into oncoming obstacles, go around them, this is still taught in a driving school. The clearance is measured on the inspection pit with a simple ruler. You can also use a laser meter, but this is a waste of money.
Choose a car for the purposes where it will be used. Modern car market provides models for use in any environment. You just need to make the right decision. Why buy KAMAZ for trips to work in the metropolis and what is the Mazda 3's ground clearance? What affects the clearance (ground clearance) of the car:
- Passage of cars vehicle... The greater the clearance value, the greater the vehicle's cross-country ability;
- Vehicle handling. The lower the ground clearance, the better car in management;
- Stability on the road. The greater the clearance, the greater the possibility of the vehicle overturning on the road during high-speed travel.
Attention is paid to the problem of the clearance value, probably only in our country. The quality of Russian roads has an impact. Next, we will consider what are the changes over the years.
The value of clearance for different generations of Mazda 3
Generations in the line different cars are similar to the turnover of generations in human families. Everything is based on the positive data of the previous generation, and negative features are excluded at the birth of a new one. So it is with the car models of the Japanese car industry Mazda 3. And what was the ground clearance of the third Mazda in the progress of versions? Ground clearance by years:
- Mazda 2008 - 155 mm;
- year - 155 mm
- - 155 mm;
- check the clearance of the Mazda 3 2013 - 155 mm;
- and Mazda 3 2014 - 155 mm.
Nothing has changed on the design features of the latest models. The stability of the Mazda 3 hatchback and sedan ground clearance is a sign of craftsmanship and classics of the Japanese automotive industry. Its value is 155 mm, the ground clearance has not changed over time. The latest models are equipped with a Mazda 3 ride height sensor - this is a good help for drivers.
Ways to increase the clearance
There are pros and cons to the procedure for increasing ground clearance in Mazda 3 cars, as well as in other sedans of this class. Basically, the drivers of our country decide on such experiments. How to increase the ground clearance on a Mazda 3?
- rubber gaskets are installed between the body and the car's suspension springs (spacers for increasing the clearance of the Mazda 3);
- the size of the used wheel rims increases;
- high profile rubber (tires) is selected;
- stiffer springs are used to reduce compression and the magnitude of the load on the suspension, which will increase the ground clearance.
All these actions will increase the vehicle's ground clearance and allow driving on bad roads, but there are negative aspects in such tuning of the vehicle.
The reverse side of increasing the factory clearance
The fact is that an increase in ground clearance by changing design features Mazda 3 carries many negative consequences for the operation of the car. What are they?
- decrease in directional stability of the vehicle during maneuvers;
- the car's handling falls on roads with any surface;
- weakening of the power body of the machine;
- decrease in speed characteristics;
- failure of the aerodynamic performance of the car;
- an increase in undercarriage breakdowns caused by changes in physical activity.
This is a small tip of the iceberg of problems caused by the decision to increase the ground clearance of your Mazda 3. Any constructive intervention in the car must be calculated and verified engineering solutions, and calculations of the likely consequences of your actions. You cannot rely on your desires to upgrade your car as you want. Purchase a car for the operating conditions in which it will be used. The Mazda 3 sedan is designed for comfortable use in the city, modern highways and express roads... The considered model of the Mazda concern of the third series compares favorably with its competitors in the class of the same cars. It can rightfully be called a classic in the car segment of this line of competitive manufacturers.
I got to the rear shock absorbers spacers. So, we started:
We jack the car, remove the wheel, prepare a ratchet with an extension cord and a long head for 12
Two nuts to be unscrewed. They unscrewed very easily, therefore, when tightening, the main thing is not to overdo it
the stand can be freely removed with your hands down and retracted to the side
like that
shock absorber spacer. I decided that a metal ring is placed on the shock absorber
inserted a spacer, goes very tight, hammered through a block
the shock absorber is installed and tightened (no fanaticism)
Now it is the turn of the spacers for the spring. In the first part on increasing the clearance there is a link where the installation is on ff3, I did it differently, and the spacer at the Mazda got up from the bottom of the spring and not from the top.
unscrew the bolt (key 17)
unscrew the stabilizer on both sides of the car. When reinstalling, insert both at once and tighten the nuts, I inserted and tightened one, the second could not, I had to untwist.
if the nut turns with the bolt, insert the hexagon from above (5 seems)
old spacer
old spacer
New spacer
New spacer
Of course I had to go around with the mount, but I squeezed the spring and replaced the spacers.
dirt under the spacer, even plant potatoes.
Raise the lever with a jack, tighten the bolt, hang the wheel.
something like this, raised by 2 cm
General form
I cannot say yet about the change in controllability in any direction. In winter I rarely go out on the track, you don't drive around the city, and you won't understand anything on the ice and in a rut. And in the summer I don't think I really feel anything, I usually go 100-120, rarely 140, there are more and more cameras. I’ll go to the sea in the summer, and then I’ll say whether the controllability has deteriorated or not. I am glad that now I drove into the private sector and did not strike anywhere as usual. So on passability test!
P.S. Half a year has passed, I managed to drive along the tracks, briefly accelerated to 180, cruising speed 140, it goes like a glove, no buildup, no yaw on the road. This is a scribe along the track in the asphalt. But before the installation of the spacers, it was the same. Recently stretched the front struts, tightened up to five revolutions, a lot like that.

ground clearance mazda3 .... - All sorts of problems
The people thought about the ground clearance of the Mazda3 before buying. Now I drive at 323 and the clearance in the lowest place (the threshold under the driver's door) is 170 mm - in principle, it suits, even in winter I don't cling to the region too much. Which one then real skylight at Mazda3 touring and sport restyled (not according to the brochure)? In general, I initially wanted sports, but it seems to me that it will be rather small ((and there is nowhere to try it on ((P.S. Thank you all for the trouble)
touring and sports have the same ground clearance
I have a sport, clearance without a few mm 160
the lowest place is the crankcase guard, if it is.
I don't have it, so I measured it by the rapids ...)
guys, thanks a lot! Protection does not particularly bother, it’s for that and protection, to cling)) I was more worried that I would tear off the thresholds with bumpers in winter, otherwise I had to climb home through the snowdrifts up to my knees))
Abach Pro Keith rules
You will rather not tear off the bumper, but you will look for a cable))
It's not even a knee-deep snowdrift) And they pulled me from there))
And to crawl out swinging?
You will rather not tear off the bumper, but you will look for a cable))
It's not even a knee-deep snowdrift) And they pulled me from there))
Max, if it worked out, I'd crawl out) and you won't really swing on the machine)

Max, if it worked out, I'd crawl out) and you won't really swing on the machine) Do you have a machine gun? Flash drive? I'm always confused about them))
Something like this
Max, no, I have Sports, AT)

It's not even a knee-deep snowdrift) And they pulled me from there))
Max, if it worked out, I'd crawl out) and you won't really swing on the machine) Therefore, I consider only 2.0 on the handle) the machine is only on all-wheel drive... And by the way, 323 times 1 time I got stuck in total during the winter, although I forced unrealistic snowdrifts. Seeing my parking in the courtyard not cleared of snow, those around them rolled their eyes on their foreheads) the mechanics are driving! And the photo is super - the most real Mazda brotherhood) tug-of-war tournament
kaspermilk, thank you! So the lowest part is 136 .... let's take it into account)
Automatic + antibuks + correct tires work wonders. This winter in the province I got stuck only 1 time, and the snow was above the bumper. On the machine, you can move very smoothly, in addition, from second gear (if you switch to manual mode). In my opinion, the machine gun should not be considered an obstacle to cross-country ability. With the skillful use of the automatic machine that the handle is the same, an inexperienced driver with an automatic transmission will get out of captivity even better. Of course, if the belly has sat down - just pull out or dig in. P.S. Antibuks steers when one wheel slips, braking the slipping wheel and allowing the other wheel to row.
I read and smile .... yes, what kind of snow you have ... Tolley has it ... or back depending on where you want), climb out of the car (don't try to close the door behind you!) you approach the wheel, grab the spoke, rest your feet and pull in the direction of movement ... A real way, the main thing is to have time to jump back =) my house is a savings bank ... behind this hill, presumably my mother ... could not be found =) Such things ...
front bumper 10cm. the lowest part if there is no crankcase guard. so you have to be careful with him.
