Mazda 3 Sedan 2016 Bahrain Prices & Specs

This generation Mazda 3, which came to the GCC in 2015, is slightly longer in height and length than the previous generation. The exterior of the Mazda 3 got the new Mazda "KODO" treatment, their new trademark design at the time. For 2016, there were no changes. The compact sedan came with two engine choices in the GCC, a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder motor with a 4-speed automatic and a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder unit with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Mechanical features include independent suspension, disc brakes, electric power steering and an all-new platform unrelated to the Ford Focus, unlike before. The basic S-grade 1.6L model comes with a 4-speaker CD/MP3 stereo with USB/AUX ports and Bluetooth, power windows, manual a/c, Bluetooth, central locking, starter button, 16-inch steel wheels, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering column and a single-piece folding rear seat.

An optional package adds a 6-speaker stereo, sunroof, auto-dimming mirror, adaptive headlights, MZD Connect multimedia system with LCD screen and rotary controller, headlamp washers, rear camera with sensors, LED tail lamps, auto-levelling HID headlights, single-zone auto a/c and, as a further option, navigation.
