Mazda announces new generation of Mazda 3 due in 2010
Mazda Corporation of USA has brought out the latest beauty from its stable. It is the new generation 2010 Mazda 3. At Mazda, they are lovingly termed as an ‘evolution’ and not ‘revolution’.
The group manager of the research and development at Mazda North American Operations, Ruben Archilla is very excited about this new born from Mazda. The car looks and feels completely different from its predecessor, the Mazda 3 ’09.
2010 Mazda 3
The Mazda 3 ’09 model is already making a good impact in the US markets and the sales are high too. The car is seen as a market leader in its segment. But still, the company’ decision to completely revamp the popular car is surprising.
The 2010 Mazda 3 is available in two trims, “I” and “s”. The difference mainly lies in the capacity of the engine. The 2010 Mazda 3 “I” is loaded with a 2 liter inline-4 engine and the “s” model runs on a 2.5 liter inline-4 engine. The 2.5 liter engine produces a whooping 167 hp and 168 pound-feet of torque.
The new 2010 Mazda 3 also has a new addition in the 6 speed manual gearbox from the earlier 5 speed transmission. The fuel efficiency of the new car remains more or less unchanged.
So, be the proud owner of the 2010 Mazda 3- a car really worth owning and driving around in the city streets.
