Mazda3 MPS styling conveys the ultimate in dynamic performance at a glance. Characterized by boldly flared front fenders, and effective use of strong edges on the bonnet. These combine with the aero bumpers and spoilers for outstanding aerodynamic performance, to take Zoom-Zoom to the limit.

Overall, Mazda3 MPS's design is sporty and strong, befitting a high performance model, without exaggerated styling cues. Instead, the focus is on creating a refined presence, which you can take pride in. This approach is an important facet of MPS design DNA, also adopted for the Mazda6 MPS.

The integrated form of the 5-door hatch was the starting point for the individual statement Mazda3 MPS makes about the Zoom-Zoom spirit. Although it has an athletic form befitting a high-performance model, it also realises a refined, supple look. Front fenders are 20 mm wider than on the standard Mazda3 model to provide clearance for the large 18-inch tyres and to evoke a well-planted stance.

Two design elements are shared with the Mazda6 MPS: strong press lines flowing back along the bonnet from the upper part of the five-point grille used as the air intake for the intercooler, and the aerodynamically shaped front bumper and large lower grille serving as the air intake for the radiator.
