Revealed for the first time at the Toronto Show in Canada in February, which was followed by an appearance at the New York Auto Show in the U.S. earlier this year, the 2012 Mazda3 gains new and more fuel-efficient engines that deliver lower CO2 emissions.
In addition, Mazda proceeded to some subtle changes to the compact model's exterior and interior design, namely the new front bumper with the reshaped five-point grille, as well as revising the suspension settings to improve the car's handling.
The Japanese company said it will reveal more details closer to the opening of the Frankfurt Motor Show.
