Zooming in on ‘24 Mazda3
MAZDA has upgraded the Mazda3 sedan and hatchback range.
Safety, style and convenience are at the centre of an array of updates for the 2024 line-up.
A Mazda Australia spokesman said the primary enhancement to the Mazda3 was the addition of Mazda Connected Services, making it the third Mazda model to receive these offerings – joining the MX-5 and the recently updated CX-30.
“The suite of services link up seamlessly with the recently released MyMazda app to give the driver remote access to a vehicle locator, geofencing capability, a flashing lights feature, curfew notifications, remote locking, vehicle health and status reports and stolen vehicle tracking assistance,” he said.
“In addition to this, the Mazda3 is also fitted with an SOS button on the roof panel, which automatically activates in the event of an emergency, giving Mazda3 owners greater peace of mind.
“The safety and convenience of the ‘vision pack’ becomes standard from Touring models and above, offering a 360-degree view monitor, vibrant 10.25in ‘Mazda Connect’ widescreen colour display, cruising and traffic support (CTS), driver monitoring and front cross traffic alert (FCTA).
“USB-C connectivity replaces USB-A for charging and audio ports in the front row from G20 Pure models upwards, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as well as wireless charging functionality join from the G20 Evolve model grade.
‘Zircon sand metallic’ makes its way to the Mazda3 premium paint palette for 2024, joining soul red crystal red metallic, machine grey metallic and polymetal grey metallic. Standard colours remain unchanged with deep crystal blue mica, ceramic metallic, snowflake white pearl mica, jet black mica and platinum quartz metallic completing the palette.
Pricing for the 2024 Mazda3 starts from $33,990, drive away, with premium paint attracting an extra $595. The top of the range Astina is $47,208 on the road.
The 2024 Mazda3 hatch and sedan range is available now in dealerships nationwide.
