The suspension is based on the Mazda 3, the first generation of the system, and has been enhanced to ensure even more agile response to steering wheel operation, and also to improve roll control and maintain a flat course through further depreciation of the suspension. In the braking system, the vacuum booster has been optimized and the feeling of initial brake application has been optimized. The overall result is outstanding response and reassuring linearity in all the brakes.

A board of three new Mazda is a new man-machine interface that contributes to the feeling of oneness between car and driver. The interior is designed to allow the driver concentrate on driving and also appreciate the level of quality in both design and materials used.

This clearly shows information on all the equipment needed while driving, such as trip computer, audio system and compact GPS system (optional), which can be operated easily by switches mounted on the wheel.

The interactive lighting control increases anticipation of driving experience Zoom-Zoom. For example, when the driver opens the car door, the cockpit spotlight, the inner light and the illumination of lights door handles in sequence, with the counters and display center to welcome with careful driver and passengers (depending on version).

This was achieved thanks to innovations like the new MZR-CD 2.2-liter diesel engine, optimized engine control, Mazda's electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPAS), outstanding aerodynamics and comprehensive weight reduction efforts. MZR-CD 2.2-liter power is about 10 percent more efficient than the MZR-CD 2.0-liter in the first generation of Mazda 3
