It is not a Japanese car you’d expect. As you approach from the side, the sensuous ‘reverse-teardrop’ silhouette of the all-new Mazda 3 Astina grips you in the throes of “lust at first sight.” Then you notice the almost seamless, unbroken window line, contributing to the sportive, “crouched panther” stance totally unexpected from a family hatchback. Though it is a wise adage to never “judge a book by its cover,” the exterior demeanor of the next-generation Mazda 3 is a mere hint of the level of detail and improvement permeating every aspect of this vehicle.
The new 1.5L Mazda Astina is gorgeously sensual, delivering a premium aesthetic through the evolution of Mazda’s signature KODO - Soul of Motion design language. KODO explores the essence of Japanese aesthetics so what results here in the brand’s flagship 1.5L Mazda 3 Hatchback is a body of art. It conveys singular motion and subtle undulations, which allow plays of ambient light and reflections to enhance the Astina’s gorgeous silhouette.
