Main Points
Mazda is retiring the Mazda3 saloon from its UK range as part of a 2027 model-year update, leaving the hatchback as the only body style available. According to autoevolution, the revised range will arrive later this year with a new Homura Plus trim and changes to equipment across several grades. The UK hatchback will have a single engine option: a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol engine producing 140 PS, or approximately 138 horsepower. It combines cylinder deactivation with Mazda’s M-Hybrid mild-hybrid technology. Buyers will have six trim levels to choose from: Prime-Line, Centre-Line, Homura, Exclusive-Line, Homura Plus and Takumi. Manual and automatic transmission options will be available on every grade except Prime-Line and Centre-Line, the report says. Aero Grey also joins the range’s paint choices. The new Homura Plus builds on the existing Homura specification with a 12-speaker Bose audio system, black leather upholstery and power seats. Its additional equipment includes a 360-degree view monitor and exterior LED signature lighting, alongside gunmetal and gloss black interior trim. Elsewhere in the range, the entry-level Prime-Line receives updated Smart Brake Support, Emergency Lane Keep and Blind Spot Monitoring systems with increased functionality. Driver Monitoring is being added across all trim levels. Exclusive-Line models gain gunmetal grey interior decoration, while the Adaptive LED headlights receive revised internal detailing. The changes update a generation of Mazda3 first introduced at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. According to the report, its styling draws on Mazda’s 2017 Kai concept, and the hatchback won World Car Design of the Year in 2020. Global production of the current iteration has exceeded 1.5 million units. For UK buyers, the central change is a narrower choice of body style and engine, accompanied by a broader trim selection through the addition of Homura Plus. The supplied report does not specify UK prices or an exact arrival date for the updated range.
