Safety (6 air bags, EHPAs, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist): Mazda’s comprehensive safety features are added to offer safe, reassuring driving. The safety features include

1. 6 airbags.

2. electro-hydraulic power assist steering (EHPAs) that helps feel stable during high-speed driving while making it easy to maneuver at low speeds.

3. antilock braking system (ABS) that prevents wheel lock-up and consequent sliding under heavy braking or on slippery road surfaces.

4. electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) that helps improve braking performance by actively adjusting the amount of brake force applied to rear wheels.

5. brake assist which monitors brake pedal force and input speed to determine when emergency stop is occurring. It works along with the ABS to provide maximum steering control in emergencies.

The Active Driving Display is a clear pop-up panel mounted behind the meter hood. It displays vehicle speed, navigation directions, and other important driving information in a safe and stress-free way. This feature shows necessary information in the driver’s line-of-sight without taking their eyes off the road. The Active Driving Display panel automatically folds back into its concealed position when the car is turned off. The Multifunction Commander Control is a knob with a push button in the center surrounded by five ergonomically-sized buttons to enable comfortable, assured operation. It allows the driver to conduct easy, intuitive operation of features like Bluetooth and audio system using the information displayed on the integrated 7" color touch screen.

KODO Design: Driven by its belief that a car is more like a living being, Mazda has introduced the “KODO – Soul of Motion” design, which is focused on the strength, beauty and tension found in the instantaneous movement seen in animals. With an appearance that oozes charm and sophistication, the all new Mazda 3 conveys an energetic tension and a sense of rhythmic motion that appeal to drivers from first glance.
