New-generation Mazda3 to star at 2009 Melbourne Show

10 February 2009 · posted by Staff

The next generation of the Mazda3, Australia’s best-selling car, will make its long-awaited Australian debut at the Melbourne International Motor Show on February 27.

The new-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatch promise even higher levels of quality, practicality, performance and value that took the first-generation Mazda3 to the top of the sales charts in January.

“The new-generation Mazda3 has a more expressive and emotional design that emphasises dynamism, and has the driving excitement and agility to back it up,” said Mazda Managing Director Doug Dickson.

“Combined with the class-leading features and equipment that deliver the great value Mazda is renowned for, this new-generation Mazda3 is a worthy successor to the classy small car that has consistently been among Australia’s top sellers.”

Two new-generation Mazda3 models will grace the Mazda Melbourne motor show stand; a Sunlight Silver Mazda3 Maxx Sport sedan and a sporty Mazda3 SP25 hatchback in Celestial Blue.

The Mazda stand will also host the Australian debut of the new Mazda MX-5 roadster. This mid-life MX-5 makeover not only ramps up the visual aggression, it includes a host of mechanical enhancements all designed to reinforce the Mazda MX-5’s status as the world’s favourite roadster.

The Melbourne International Motor Show runs from February 27 to March 9, 2009.
