Mazda 3 2010 Hatchback Shots

During the frenzy of the 2010 Mazda 3 debut last week we overlooked Mazda’s newest batch of “spy shots” of the 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback testing alongside of the 2010 Mazda 3 sedan.

Per prototype clad norms it is hard to distinguish detail from cladding on the prototype shots but we can already see the hatchback shape complimenting the new Mazda 3 styling elements very well.


For example, notice how the taillights are stretched and wrap around the rear of the 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback versus the more squared off rear end of the sedan. The rear spoiler on the hatchback also appears much more pronounced than previous versions. Should Mazda continue the tradition started with the first generation Mazda 3 you will see the 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback offer the 2.5-Liter four-cylinder 167 hp motor as the only engine option.

The 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback is expected to appear at the December 2nd Bologna Motor Show in Italy.

Until then, see our photo gallery of the 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback prototype testing below.
