if the price is right.. definitely a GAME CHANGER...
I heard 1.5L and 2.0L SkyActiv-G and 2.2L SkyActiv-D lang ang engines. Low output ang 1.5L pero high torque. Plus remember it is lighter than the current gen Mazda 3.

With Berjaya's management, it might be faster than we could all think.
Anyway, found a funny photo versus a Corolla.

That wouldn't be surprising if they bank on a 1.5L engine. China, being the biggest market that it is as we speak, has different/more advantageous taxation on cars with 1.5L displacement and below. Remember, Ford even develop a special 1.5L Ecoboost engine for China even though it has a ready 1.6L in store for their cars.

That photo comparison of the Corolla and Mz3 shows how sleek the 3 is compared to the boy-racer (can't believe im saying this for a toyota) Corolla.
The sedan version will follow shortly. It will feature a Hybrid Electric powertrain in Japan at least.

Right on the money:
Mazda reveals all-new 3 hatchback - Car NewsThe global engine lineup for the all-new Mazda 3 hatchback includes a newly developed 1.5-liter Skyactiv gasoline engine in addition to the 2.0- and 2.5-liter mills and 2.2-liter clean diesel powerplant. A hybrid electric sedan version will also be made available but only for Mazda's home country.
Same as the CX5. Sana may cupholder din sa armrest. Mas masaya kung 40-20-40 yan. Madaling kumuha ng gamit sa likod![]()

What if there's a 3 door variant?

Actually, the new Mazdas shares just one platform. The SkyActiv platform is much like the MQB platform of VW. It is developed to underpin multiple models. Even the next Mazda 2 will get this platform although chopped to accommodate the petite dimensions of the 2. Only the MX5 will seem to get a new platform, this time, co-developed with Alfa Romeo.
