Front
The new air intake for the intercooler has been the center of the new Mazda 3 MPS bonnet, allusion to power everywhere. Front fender and front bumper designs are exclusively for MPS, at the same time subtle intonation is added to the surface and character lines to the outside atmosphere expressive and dynamic. Front grille and lower bumper sections of the same black finish metallic paint. These are framed by a cylindrical bi-xenon headlamps, round fog lights, in order to emphasize the car a premium brand (standard or optional depending on market).
Silhouette and rear
One of the best aerodynamic performance of the segment
The all-new Mazda 3 MPS has an exterior design that continues the current top model aerodynamics. The all-new Mazda 3 five-door hatchback, which has one of the lowest drag coefficients of the segment, the MPS developers added a number of external features optimized for aerodynamic efficiency. These include large front and rear, a large roof spoiler floating front and rear under spoiler. The result is the aerodynamic efficiency that provides stability and easy control when traveling right, changing lanes or pass other vehicles at high speeds. The shape of the A-pillars and side mirrors were also designed with an aerodynamic efficiency in mind, while the rigidity around the wings is to provide better sealing of doors to reduce wind noise.
Wheels and tires
Mazda Introduces New 18-inch (18 x 7.5 J) aluminum alloy designed exclusively for the Mazda 3 MPS with the design theme like the Mazda RX-8 wheels. They have a strong three-dimensional structure that helps the car look agile and aggressive when viewed from the side.
The front seat area
The dashboard of the new Mazda 3 MPS is designed to give a feeling of space in front. This is combined with a large center console and driver-oriented cockpit wraparound just the feeling of snugness. Demanding calculation applied to the design of the slope of the center console and the gear position near the driver.
The new Turbo Boost gauge
The speedometer failure hood less independent and to express the sporty tachometer by design. The tachometer has a red logo MPS and a needle that moves 260 degrees in contrast to 190 degrees of rotation of the other Mazda 3 models. The instrument cluster for the new MPS also has a turbo boost indicator LED located between the meter, which increases high-performance car feel.
Semi-bucket front seats
The MPS offers completely new semi-bucket front seats for a perfect fit and exceptional support upper body and thigh, a necessity in a sports car. The front edge of the seat is enlarged to better fit the thighs, and record length is extended to provide more support. Tack, MPS has a unique color black background with a graphic red and red stitching.
The developers have been careful in the choice of materials and finishes, the interior minister that excite the driver and passengers every time you sit in the car. Black is the color of the entire interior of Keynote, but the seats and cut the fabric is an organic red graphic design. This luxury MPS distributed throughout the world, with red stitching to enhance the interior a sporty steering wheel brand, seats, door trim, shift lever boot, and armrest.
Powertrain - drive and heart rate in accordance with Euro V
Power and is easy to control the torque characteristics of the new Mazda 3 MPS turbo petrol engine is combined with an optimized gear change which ensures smooth for sporty driving. This is combined with a stiffer body, a suspension system with large damping force, the direction of Mazda assisted electro-hydraulic (EHPAS) and specially adapted brakes. Together they offer a package of high performance with precision handling and powerful brakes controllable are fun to drive on a daily basis.
Engine - high performance DISI technology
Compact powerful
Pairing with direct injection turbocharging allows the engine to achieve results comparable to a larger displacement engine. Tapping the right balance between lightness and high rigidity through the effective use of high strength steel sheet - including steel 1480 MPa ultra high strength - means that the new body to support MPS easily top speed of 250 km / h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in only 6, 1 second.
But the new Mazda 3 MPS also offers surprisingly good environmental performance and fuel economy for a car with that kind of power. Aerodynamics helping reduce fuel consumption of 9.7L/100 km on the previous model at 9.2L/100 km on the all-new Mazda 3 MPS. Also recently introduced the world's first nanotechnology single rapid reaction catalyst under the floor, providing cleaner emissions and Euro V stage are observed.
High torque direct injection
The latent heat of vaporization generated by the liter Turbo 2.3L, when the atomized fuel injected directly into a cylinder at pressures up to 11.5 MPa reduced the temperature of the combustion chamber (cooling effect in the cylinder) and improves efficiency air-fuel mixture charge. Compared with turbo engines inject fuel in ports regular use, this approach increases the torque of the new Mazda 3 MPS with up to about 10 percent to about 3000 rpm. This provides a torque profile flat and smooth, with great force, which is easily controlled with a single scroll turbo charger. The intercooler is the same size as the previous model, but the new air intakes mounted on the hood provides a fresh air supply, which ensures better cooling stable.
Advanced Management couple
6-speed manual transmission
The transfer of the new Mazda 3 MPS uses a compact three-shaft design that keeps the overall length is the same as that of a 5-speed manual transmission. It uses a wide speed setting that can fully exploit the torque band range DISI Turbo, with a sixth gear contributes to a quieter ride and better fuel economy when driving at high speed. Each gear is set at a higher speed all gears than the previous model. Of particular note is the natural feeling of switching between the first and second gear the car takes off and the soft feel of successive shifts while accelerating.
Frame - a secure and predictable
High body rigidity and a specially tuned suspension
Based on the highly rigid body, the Mazda 3 five-door hatchback, the new version of MPS added reinforcements on the inside of the bellows member in front of bullets to strengthen the links between the towers of rear suspension and rear floor, and employs a Member great tunnel. These and other local reinforcements effectively increase the rigidity of the body and significantly improve the robustness of the new dynamic model.
The coil spring rates for both the MacPherson strut front suspension and multilink rear suspension modified exclusively for MPS. Special tuning to support the high power of the MPS and provide good handling characteristics also include the introduction of larger diameter stabilizer that the new model Mazda 3 core and an increased duration of the tail up to achieve greater linearity roll. Special shock absorbers MPS increased damping force and combine with coil springs and stabilizers to achieve a higher roll stiffness than the base model.
The newly developed tires
225/40R18 Dunlop tires for the MPS are wider than the previous model. By improving the adhesion of tires, rigid walls and the damping force - with systems that support the entry of tires, including the body rigidity, the rigidity of the suspension, steering and stiffness Support - the new Mazda 3 MPS offers an answer to a more direct feel and a sense of unity between driver and vehicle. The result is a sporty driving style that is more accurate than the previous model, even at high speeds. It provides a better response, greater stability and ride flat with less ripple, even when entering bends or wavy cross the road. To do this, the great records high-speed test were performed on the Nurburgring in Germany.
The new Mazda 3 MPS now has three directional pads highly rigid assembly instead of using both the previous model. The system also features electro-hydraulic steering assist (EHPAS), which adjusts the control according to vehicle speed and steering angle to obtain an accurate and robust response for exceptional feel for the operation of the steering wheel. Control is set for a more specific response to vehicle speed, providing a lighter feel at low speeds and firm feel inspires confidence at high speed. The steering is direct and strong only 2.7 turns lock to lock.
Tough new brakes and brake assist electronic
Large diameter 320 mm ventilated disc brakes front and 280 mm solid rear discs are combined with an 8 9-inch tandem brake booster and 1 inch diameter master cylinder to produce wide powerful and stable braking. Electronic brake assist system replaces the previous mechanical four-wheel ABS and DSC are also standard equipment.
