Mazda3 1.5L Returns to Malaysia with Enhanced Features and Premium Refinement

Bermaz Motor has reintroduced the Mazda3 1.5L to the Malaysian market, now equipped with upgraded features and refined specifications that elevate its position as one of the most premium compact sedans in its class. Continuing Mazda’s philosophy of “Car as Art,” the updated model blends design purity, emotional appeal, and dynamic performance.

The Mazda3 1.5L is a continuation of Mazda’s KODO – Soul of Motion design approach, which captures the essence of movement through subtle, flowing lines and carefully sculpted surfaces. Every contour is designed to express energy and elegance, creating a balance between strength and simplicity. Drawing from Japanese aesthetic principles, the car embraces minimalism — allowing proportion, light, and form to define its beauty.

Mazda’s commitment to Jinba-Ittai, the harmony between driver and car, remains central to the Mazda3 experience. The design focuses on connection and confidence, ensuring that every interaction — from steering feedback to cabin ergonomics — feels intuitive and natural. This philosophy shapes not just how the car drives, but how it makes the driver feel — precise, in control, and at ease.

Inside, the Mazda3 1.5L presents a cabin that combines refinement, comfort, and function. Premium materials and soft-touch finishes create a quiet, composed environment, while every switch and control has been positioned with deliberate care. The result is an interior that feels calm and uncluttered, aligning with Mazda’s “less is more” design principle.

Mazda Perkenalkan Logo Baharu – Lambang Evolusi untuk Era Digital

Mazda secara rasmi telah memperkenalkan logo baharunya, selepas mendaftarkan tanda dagangan itu tahun lalu. Lambang yang direka semula ini membuat penampilan awam pertamanya di Pameran Mobiliti Jepun, dan kini telah digunakan secara rasmi di laman web serta platform digital Mazda di seluruh dunia.

Reka bentuk baharu ini menandakan langkah penting Mazda dalam usaha memodenkan imej jenamanya untuk dunia digital masa kini. Dengan pendekatan ini, Mazda menyertai barisan pengeluar terkenal seperti Volvo, BMW, Kia dan Volkswagen, yang turut beralih kepada reka bentuk logo monokrom yang lebih rata, bersih dan mudah dibaca di skrin digital. Menurut Mazda, perubahan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterlihatan dan konsistensi jenama, terutamanya dalam persekitaran dalam talian di mana kejelasan dan kesederhanaan memainkan peranan utama.

Walaupun tampil dengan gaya yang lebih moden, Mazda tetap mengekalkan identiti terasnya. Bentuk huruf “M” yang menyerupai sepasang sayap terentang masih menjadi tumpuan utama — simbol kepada semangat kebebasan, penerbangan dan gerakan ke hadapan yang telah lama menjadi falsafah jenama ini. Motif ini telah menjadi sebahagian daripada identiti Mazda sejak tahun 1997, dan kali terakhir diperbaharui pada tahun 2018. Dalam versi terkini, bentuknya dilicinkan dengan garisan tepi yang lebih lembut serta penghapusan bayangan dalaman, menghasilkan penampilan yang lebih rata, minimalis dan abadi, namun tetap berjiwa moden.

Mazda Unveils Sleek New Logo for the Digital Era

Mazda has officially taken the wraps off its brand-new logo, following its trademark registration last year. The redesigned emblem made its first public appearance at the Japan Mobility Show and has already been rolled out across Mazda’s official website and digital platforms.

The new design represents Mazda’s latest step in modernising its image for a digital-first world. Mazda says the move aims to enhance brand visibility and consistency, particularly in online environments where clarity and simplicity are key.

While the overall look has been refined, Mazda has kept the core identity intact. The familiar “M” shape that resembles a pair of outstretched wings remains the centrepiece, symbolising the brand’s spirit of flight and forward motion. This motif has been part of Mazda’s identity since 1997 and was last refreshed in 2018. The latest iteration softens the edges and removes the inner shading, creating a flatter, more minimalist aesthetic that feels both timeless and modern.

This update continues a long evolution of Mazda’s logo design over the decades. The company’s first logo, introduced in 1934, was a simple calligraphic wordmark that reflected its Japanese craftsmanship and cultural pride. Two years later, Mazda unveiled a 1936 emblem featuring three overlapping “M” shapes inspired by Hiroshima’s three rivers — an early interpretation of the “wings” motif that still defines its brand today.

Mazda Perkenal Dua Model Konsep Baharu di Japan Mobility Show 2025

Mazda menarik perhatian ramai di Japan Mobility Show 2025 dengan memperkenalkan dua model konsep terbaharu — MAZDA VISION X-COUPE dan MAZDA VISION X-COMPACT. Kedua-dua model ini menggambarkan falsafah Mazda bahawa pemanduan boleh kekal menyeronokkan sambil memelihara alam sekitar.

Model VISION X-COUPE tampil sebagai sebuah crossover coupe berprestasi tinggi yang menggunakan sistem plug-in hibrid (PHEV). Ia digerakkan oleh enjin rotary turbo bersama motor elektrik, menghasilkan 510PS kuasa keseluruhan. Dengan teknologi ini, kenderaan tersebut mampu bergerak sejauh 160 kilometer menggunakan kuasa elektrik sepenuhnya, dan sehingga 800 kilometer apabila kedua-dua sistem kuasa digunakan serentak.

Menariknya, VISION X-COUPE juga boleh menggunakan bahan api neutral karbon yang dihasilkan daripada mikroalga, sekaligus membantu mengurangkan pelepasan karbon. Ia turut dilengkapi sistem Carbon Capture, iaitu teknologi khas yang menyerap gas CO₂ semasa kenderaan dipandu, menjadikannya lebih mesra alam setiap kali digunakan.

Mazda Unveils Vision X-Coupe and Vision X-Compact at Japan Mobility Show 2025

Mazda Motor Corporation has taken centre stage at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 with the unveiling of two concept models — the MAZDA VISION X-COUPE and the MAZDA VISION X-COMPACT. Both models represent Mazda’s forward-looking theme for this year’s exhibition: “The Joy of Driving Fuels a Sustainable Tomorrow.”

The MAZDA VISION X-COUPE is a crossover coupe that brings the brand’s KODO – Soul of Motion design language to a new level of sophistication. It’s a striking expression of Mazda’s belief that driving pleasure and sustainability can coexist.

Under its sculpted body lies a plug-in hybrid powertrain that pairs a two-rotor rotary turbo engine with an electric motor and battery, delivering an impressive 510PS. The car can travel up to 160 km in electric-only mode and achieve a total range of around 800 km when the engine and motor work together.

What sets the X-COUPE apart is its innovative approach to environmental performance. It’s designed to run on carbon-neutral fuel produced from microalgae and is equipped with Mazda’s proprietary “Mobile Carbon Capture” system, which absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere as the car is driven. Mazda says this combination allows the vehicle to contribute to reducing carbon emissions the more it’s used — an ambitious concept that demonstrates the company’s drive toward a sustainable future without abandoning performance.

Toyota dan Mazda Mungkin Bekerjasama Hasilkan Generasi Baharu MX-5 dan GR86

Majalah automotif Jepun, Best Car, melaporkan bahawa Toyota dan Mazda mungkin akan bekerjasama untuk membangunkan generasi seterusnya bagi model ikonik Mazda MX-5 dan Toyota GR86. Jika kerjasama ini menjadi kenyataan, ia akan menjadi langkah besar dalam rancangan Toyota untuk terus mengekalkan kelangsungan model kereta sport mampu milik yang diminati ramai.

Hubungan antara Toyota dan Mazda bukanlah perkara baharu. Kedua-dua jenama ini telah menjalinkan kerjasama sejak tahun 2015, dan hubungan itu diperkukuhkan lagi pada 2017. Mereka pernah bekerjasama dalam projek kenderaan elektrik serta perisian, dan kini tumpuan beralih kepada segmen kereta sport.

Menurut laporan tersebut, jurutera Mazda kini sudah berada di Toyota City bagi mengusahakan projek ini. Toyota dilaporkan menyediakan dana untuk menaik taraf platform ringan MX-5 agar ia boleh digunakan bersama bagi kedua-dua model. Dari segi pengeluaran, kilang Mazda di Hiroshima dijangka menjadi pusat produksi dengan kos pembangunan ditanggung oleh Toyota.

Toyota and Mazda Reportedly Teaming Up on Next-Generation MX-5 and GR86

Japan’s leading car magazine Best Car has reported that Toyota and Mazda may be co-developing the next generation of the Mazda MX-5 and Toyota GR86. If true, the collaboration would mark a major shift in Toyota’s sports car strategy and ensure the continued future of two of the world’s best-known affordable performance cars.

Toyota and Mazda first entered into a formal partnership in 2015, later strengthening it into a capital alliance in 2017. Beyond vehicle supply arrangements, the two companies have collaborated on electric vehicles and software-defined vehicle development.

Best Car’s October issue notes that the close ties between Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda and Mazda President Masahiro Moro have helped strengthen the relationship. Both executives are long-time drivers with experience in competitive racing, which has shaped their shared perspective on building sports cars.

The MX-5 holds a unique position in the global car industry. Since its introduction in 1989, it has been the world’s best-selling roadster and a catalyst for other two-seat sports cars such as the Porsche Boxster, BMW Z3, and Audi TT. Meanwhile, the GR86 has carried Toyota’s reputation in the affordable sports coupe segment, originally developed in partnership with Subaru.

Review: Mazda CX-60 – Driving Perfection?

There are a few cars from Japan that represent the joy of driving. I am not talking about sports cars because we all know there are plenty of those from the land of the rising sun.

But before going down this path for this article, I must acknowledge the greatness of the Honda Civic Type R, Nissan GT-R, Mazda MX-5, Toyota Supra and GR86. Even the Lexus LC and its glorious V8 deserves to be mentioned. Among many others of course.

Not acknowledging them would be tantamount to blasphemy.

I am instead talking about SUVs. When was the last time anyone spoke about SUVs from Japan that were fun to drive? There are many that are built well, have space age technology with immaculate craftsmanship and generally do what SUV’s do really well.

But a Japanese SUV that is fun to drive? That can only be a Mazda. (more…)
