2012 Mazda3

Mazda has released today the first images and details of the new 2012 Mazda3 facelift which will have its debut at the 2011 Canadian International Auto Show. The new 2012 Mazda3 facelift will be the first model to feature the new SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine and SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission. These new technologies will offer the 2012 Mazda3 facelift better torque at low- and mid-range engine speeds which will result in an improved fuel consumption.
 Apart from the new engine, the 2012 Mazda3 facelift comes with new front and rear bumpers with a redesigned front grill, fog bezels and front headlamps. The 2012 Mazda3 facelift will also feature new 16 inch and 17 inch alloy wheels.
The sky's the limit at Mazda's display at the 2011 Canadian International AutoShow. Making its debut is the 2012 Mazda3, which, in addition to receiving a facelift, will also offer the option of Mazda's new SKYACTIV-G petrol engine and SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission when it is launched in Canada later this year. This initial application of Mazda's SKYACTIV engine and transmission technologies - the first time they will be employed in a production vehicle - will realize higher torque at low- and mid-range engine speeds resulting in better drivability with less fuel consumption in everyday driving.
Mazda Motor Corporation has been developing its new technologies under the SKYACTIV concept and they include completely new petrol and diesel engines, transmissions and vehicle architectures. Mazda's SKYACTIV Technologies will be launched successively beginning with the new petrol engine and automatic transmission in 2011.

 Mazda has stated that its goal is to improve fuel efficiency by 30 percent by 2015 (compared to 2008 levels). This will be accomplished through SKYACTIV Technologies, which focus on improving the
 efficiency of internal combustion core technologies in association with vehicle weight reduction. Then, gradually, electrical devices such as idle-stop, regenerative braking and hybrid systems will be introduced to further improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

 In addition to the new SKYACTIV engine and transmission offerings, the 2012 Mazda3 will receive new front and rear bumpers with a redesigned front grill, fog bezels and front headlamps. New 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels complete the 2012 exterior updates.

 Another vehicle making its first appearance in Toronto is the new 2012 Mazda5 multi-activity
 vehicle. Since its introduction as a 2006 model, the Mazda5 has redefined the concept of compact transportation by offering seating for up to six people in three easily configurable rows, as well as with unique styling and driving dynamics not typical in vehicles of this type. Over 50,000 Mazda5s have been sold since its introduction to Canada and it is the second best selling nameplate in Mazda Canada's line-up.

 The 2012 Mazda5, on sale now across Canada, incorporates motifs from Mazda's "Nagare" design language which, inspired by the beauty of nature, presents an elegant look not found in any existing vehicle today. Changes run deep under the skin too, as the vehicle is now powered by a 157-horsepower 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and can be paired with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Outstanding fuel economy and unexpected driveability are carried over from the previous model, as are the vehicle's sliding rear doors and flexible seating for up to six people. The 2012 Mazda5 is available in two trim grades with a starting price of $21,795.



 Rounding out the Mazda display is the full line-up of 2011 models, including the Mazda2, Mazda3, Mazda6, MX-5, RX-8, Tribute, CX-9 and, of special note, the 2011 CX-7, which is now being offered with leather seating, or all-wheel-drive, below $30,000.
