The third generation Mazda 6 is known as the Mazada Atenza in some countries and it was released in late August 2012 during the Moscow International Motor Show. Buyers can choose between a 4 door sedan and 5 door station wagon version depending on their needs. Depending on the type of engine you are choosing you can get the i-ELOOP technology with your car. So i am guessing that you are now asking yourself what is i-ELOOP, well it is unique piece of technology developed by Mazda that employs the regenerative braking system whereby it captures the normally lost energy when the driver removes his foot from the accelerator pedal. This energy is then stored and used to power the cars various electrical components from the radio, lights, the power steering function and the AC as well. Mazda claims that due to this technology the real-world fuel efficiency is improved by as much as 5 percent for the Mazda 6.

The Mazda CX-3 which shares the same platform as the Mazda 2 is a compact crossover SUV which was launched at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show as a 2016 model year vehicle. Mazda's kodo design language lends the car a more muscular stance and portraits it like a small fierce dog ready to attack.
The CX-3 is quite nimble and light on its wheels and quick for city traffic racing. For a vehicle in this class the interior is beyond average with its modern looks.
