Environmental performance

The all-new Mazda 3 offers excellent environmental performance that conforms to Euro Stage 5 regulations (apart from models with the 1.6-litre gasoline and diesel engines). This was achieved thanks to innovations including the new MZR-CD 2.2-litre diesel engine, optimized engine control, Mazda's Electro-Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering system (EHPAS), outstanding aerodynamics and comprehensive weight reduction efforts. The MZR-CD 2.2-litre standard power version is approximately 10 percent more efficient than the MZR-CD 2.0-litre engine of the first-generation Mazda 3.
