Mazda will debut two new models of the all-new Mazda3 product range at the 2009 Geneva International Motor Show1 from March 3rd through 15th 2009.

Mazda's advanced fuel-saving start-stop system: i-stop, will be shared with the all-new Mazda3 MPS, Mazda3's high performance flagship model at the Geneva show. The Mazda3 MPS now features improved fuel economy and emissions that satisfy Euro Stage 5. More than two million units of the Mazda3 have been produced. The new model has superb performance and saftey levels and is a dream to drive. The Mazda3 with i-stop embodies Sustainable Zoom-Zoom and adds a new eco-friendly option to the lineup. The i-stop system in combination with the MZR 2.0 DISI (Direct Injection Spark Ignition) engine help the new Mazda3 model achieve approximately 12 percent lower fuel consumption (urban cycle) than the current European Mazda3. This car exceeds all expectations.
