2014 Mazda3 SkyActiv-G
Mazda has unveiled the new ‘3' model, which is now available with the brand's award-winning SKYACTIV technology. The model joins to the well-known Mazda6 and Mazda CX-5, which also benefits from the same technology. It delivers low carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and first-class fuel economy.
The 1.5 liter SkyActiv -G petrol with 100HP (74 kW) boasts an impressive 17 % reduced CO2 emissions compared to the previous generation 1.6 liter petrol.
"MPG from all-new Mazda3 SKYACTIV-G petrol engines is phenomenal and as average company car mileage reduces many drivers do not require a diesel engine model. Furthermore, businesses and drivers benefit from the lower pump price of petrol.", commented Mazda Head of Fleet Steve Tomlinson.
"Many companies' link vehicle choice lists to a monthly lease rate allowance and drivers typically select models that deliver the best value for money. The combination of power, performance and specification delivered by the all-new Mazda3 petrol engine range twinned with low CO2 and top-notch MPG is proving very attractive when factored against a monthly lease rate, which reflects annual mileage and excellent residual values.", he added.
