Mazda 3

Mazda Motor Corporation assembles the Mazda3, an automobile model (known in Japan as the Axela), and offers it to the public under the Mazda brand. Based on the MX-Sportif's concept stylings, the new 2004 Mazda3 replaces the Mazda Protegé. As of 2005, 499,164 Axela and Mazda3 models had been sold worldwide since the very first Mazda3 rolled off the assembly line on December 8, 2003.

The car is based on Ford's global C1 Platform developed by Volvo and shared with the latest European Ford Focus and Volvo S40. Chassis development was carried out by Mazda and suspension designed by Ford. The Mazda3/Axela is available in two different bodyworks, a four-door sedan, marketed as "coupé style" in Europe, and a five-door hatchback, branded the Sport version in America and Japan.
