Bermaz Motor has officially reintroduced the Mazda3 1.5L to the Malaysian market, now featuring a host of upgrades that further enhance its appeal. The refreshed model continues to embody Mazda’s “Car as Art” philosophy, blending design elegance with emotional appeal to create a driving experience that is both dynamic and refined.
The updated Mazda3 1.5L bridges the gap between entry-level and higher variants with enhanced specifications, advanced connectivity, and a suite of safety technologies.
Refined Design with Japanese Aesthetic Influence
Expressing Mazda’s signature KODO: Soul of Motion design language, the Mazda3 1.5L stands out with flowing lines and sculpted proportions that evoke motion even at rest. Inspired by minimalist Japanese craftsmanship, its design reflects the principle of “less is more,” creating an exterior that radiates elegance, balance, and timeless sophistication.
Inside, the Mazda3’s cabin presents an atmosphere of understated luxury. Every surface and detail has been thoughtfully executed with high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship.
The ergonomic layout ensures that all controls are within natural reach, creating a calm and intuitive environment that enhances both comfort and control.
Enhanced Connectivity and Technology
The 2025 Mazda3 1.5L features an upgraded 10.25-inch infotainment display and a 7-inch Multi-Information Display, designed for seamless integration and clear visibility.
The system supports Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while multiple USB Type-C ports provide convenient charging options for all occupants. Together, these upgrades bring the cabin experience in line with the higher Mazda3 variants.
Powertrain and Driving Experience
Under the hood, the Mazda3 1.5L is powered by a 1.5-litre SkyActiv-G four-cylinder engine paired with a SkyActiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode producing 118 PS and 153 Nm of torque.
For drivers seeking more performance, the 2.0L variants remain available, offering the same engaging dynamics and dependable power that Mazda owners have come to appreciate.
