The Mazda 3 is one of the most anticipated cars of the year. The current model is a great alternative in the c-segment and i am sure the future model will also be a decent option for those who want something different, but still want a product with a good quality and a nice design.
From what i can see, this new model will resemble the Mazda 6, which was the car that debuted the "KODO - Soul of Motion" design language. It will lose around 70kg (154lb) and should be about 4500mm (177.17 inches) long.
The testing process seems to be in its final phase, so we might see it for the first time at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, in September. The engines should have the SkyActiv technology in order to reduce the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
