In the market for a hot hatch that won’t break your bank account or your back? The 2021 Mazda3 is a smart choice.
A greater mind than mine (admittedly a low threshold to cross) perfectly put the appeal of the 2021 Mazda3 into perspective for me. This is the hot hatch for people who are either too advanced in age or too successful to be bothered driving the hot hatches of their youth.
Who needs loud and harsh when refined and supple is available? The 2021 Mazda3 is the supple, refined hot hatchback you must drive if visions of souped-up Honda Civics battle for space in your head with thoughts of chiropractor visits.

Mazda has begun accepting pre-orders for the MX-30 Electric in Australia, with an initial run of 100 units set to be delivered to customers from August this year. Only one trim level – the E35 Astina – will be offered to customers there, which is currently priced from AUD65,490 (RM208,728) before on-the-road costs.
It should be noted again that this is the fully electric version of the MX-30, which is different from the mild hybrid model that is already on sale in the country, priced from AUD33,990 (RM108,449). The latter features the brand’s e-SkyActiv G powertrain, which consists of a 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol engine, 24-volt M Hybrid system and a six-speed automatic transmission, providing 155 PS (153 hp) and 200 Nm of torque.

Order book opens for Japanese brand’s first electric vehicle
Mazda Australia’s first electric vehicle won’t be cheap, but the Japanese car-maker says the 2021 Mazda MX-30 Electric will be superior to its rivals in a number of key areas.
Available to order from today (May 5) ahead of first deliveries in August, the ground-breaking Mazda MX-30 Electric is being offered in a single, top-spec Astina grade priced at $65,490 plus on-road costs – almost double the $33,990 starting price of the Mazda MX-30 M Hybrid released in April.
That makes the Mazda MX-30 Electric significantly pricier than Australia’s cheapest electric SUV, the new MG ZS EV ($43,990 drive-away), but lineball with the recently updated Hyundai Kona Electric, which is priced between $62,000 and $66,000 for the Highlander flagship.
