Mazda3 MPS styling demonstrates the ultimate in dynamic performance. Boldly flared front fenders and effective use of strong edges on the bonnet characterise the Mazda3 MPS. These combine with the aero bumpers and spoilers for outstanding aerodynamic performance, to take Zoom-Zoom to the limit.
Overall, Mazda3 MPS’s design is sporty and strong, befitting a high performance model, without exaggerated styling cues. Instead, the focus is on creating a refined presence which you can take pride in.
The integrated form of the 5-door hatch was the starting point for the individual statement Mazda3 MPS makes about the Zoom-Zoom spirit. Although it has an athletic form befitting a high-performance model, it also realises a refined, supple look. Front fenders are 20 mm wider than on the standard Mazda3 model to provide clearance for the large 18-inch tyres and to evoke a well-planted stance.
Two design elements are shared with the Mazda6 MPS: strong press lines flowing back along the bonnet from the upper part of the five-point grille used as the air intake for the intercooler, and the aerodynamically shaped front bumper and large lower grille serving as the air intake for the radiator.
Additionally, the “floating image” angular fog lamps used here for the first time are indicative of the vehicle’s unique personality. An athletic yet elegant side view is created by aerodynamic side skirts and 18-inch, 10-spoke aluminium alloy wheels.
The rear view is characterised by the design of the rear bumper, which suggests stableroad-hold, the tailpipe with large diameter (95 mm) and the roof spoiler with integrated high-mounted LED brake lights. These items add up to a tautly defined rear design that is instantly recognizable as the Mazda3 MPS to other drivers who will see it pass.
