2016 Mazda 3 Hatchback Touring BN5478

This 2016 Mazda 3 Touring is a practical five-door hatchback with a well-rounded equipment list and the easy operation of a six-speed sports automatic transmission. Its compact exterior dimensions suit everyday urban driving, while the hatchback body provides useful flexibility for passengers, shopping and larger items when the split-fold rear seat is used.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with Mazda's SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission. The specification is oriented towards comfortable daily use, with climate-control air conditioning, cruise control, keyless start and electrically assisted power steering contributing to a relaxed driving routine. Paddle shifters are also fitted behind the steering wheel for drivers who prefer more direct control of the automatic transmission.

The Touring cabin combines partial leather seats with a leather steering wheel and leather gear knob, giving the interior a more upmarket feel than a basic specification. The driver's seat offers height and manual lumbar adjustment, while the front centre armrest, rear centre armrest and split-fold second row add useful comfort and versatility. Five-seat capacity makes the Mazda suitable for carrying a small family or several passengers, while the cargo cover helps keep luggage out of direct view.

Technology is well represented for a car of this era. The equipment list includes satellite navigation, a colour multifunction display, digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity, USB and auxiliary inputs, iPod compatibility and voice recognition. A six-speaker stereo supports everyday listening, and the multifunction steering wheel allows selected controls to be accessed without taking attention away from the road.

Safety and driver assistance features include a reversing camera, rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic warning. Forward collision warning, low-speed forward collision mitigation, reversing collision mitigation and pedestrian avoidance with braking provide additional assistance in busy surroundings. Electronic stability and traction control, ABS with electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, hill holding and a comprehensive airbag arrangement further support occupant protection.

Exterior equipment includes 16-inch alloy wheels, front LED fog lamps, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, folding power mirrors and a rear roof spoiler. The white exterior is complemented by body-coloured bumpers, door handles and mirror sections. An electric park brake, stop-start system and keyless proximity starting add convenience to the daily driving experience.
