Press info
https://insidemazda.mazdausa.com/pr...2018-los-angeles-auto-show-press-information/
Previews by Car and Driver
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/2019-mazda-3-sedan-hatchback-photos-info
Notable changes:
New engine (Skyactiv-X engine scheduled to arrive at the end of 2019 though)
New chassis (longer and lower)
Optional AWD
Torsional beam (independent multilink before)
Active safety feature still optional
8.8 inch display, possible with Android Auto onboard due to the recent deal with Google
What do you guys think about this?
AWD is a welcomed surprise, but the safety feature should have been standard.
All the American brands are giving up on the compact segment (Ford and GM), so I really hope Mazda and Toyota can do more to push Honda to improve.
Edit: Put some pictures here to save you guys a click.
