2014 Mazda Mazda3 Photo Gallery

New face far more appealing than the 2010-2013 smile.

This angle is the car's best. Xenon headlamps are standard with the larger engine.

Clean and fluid. The s's 18-inch wheels help disguise the lengthy front overhang.

Long nose, bobbed tail. Are these proportions attractive, intriguing, or odd?

Unlike with the first two generations, no rear side window aft of the doors.

Complex surfacing in the body sides.

Vastly improved styling and materials. A lot going on, yet the appearance is clean, not busy.

Too dark? Almond leather with gray inserts is an alternative.

Stylish yet functional.

Attractive tachometer graphics. Inset digital speedometer supplemented by a head-up display.

Nav doesn't include manual zoom. But does include speed limit that turns red if you're over it.

Display graphics grayscale with hints of red. More restrained than GM, Ford, Chrysler interfaces.

Mazda sides with the Germans in the knob vs. touchscreen debate. Smooth, with a nice heft to it.

Black leather includes red stitching. Comfortable shape, though the Ford's sest is better padded.

Among the tighter rear seats in the segment. The price of the long nose and sleek roof line.

Also among the tighter cargo areas.

A lot more space with the rear seat folded.

For somewhat thrilling acceleration, you want the larger engine in the s.

Neatly arranged under the cover, you wonder why they bothered to include one.

Unusually long nose provides space for optimized intake and exhaust manifolds.
