Vehicle ground clearance is the distance between its lowest point and the surface of the road on which the vehicle is traveling. When choosing a car, for various conditions of its use, this parameter is important. The Mazda 3 is designed for driving in urban areas and on good roads. Then all the positive advantages of this model are felt in full. If you need an SUV - choose an SUV, a simple rule.
Mazda 3 ground clearance has always been small. The manufacturer's data says that it is 155 cm, however, when measuring the last base model, it turns out 140 cm. In order not to sit on the "belly", you need to choose a car for current tasks. With the use of "speed bumps" in our cities, the choice of car becomes very important. How to do right choice? What to pay attention to?
More about ground clearance
If you know everything about the ground clearance of your car, then this will help you to go to a car repair shop less often. This saves money and saves nerves. Do not run into oncoming obstacles, go around them, this is still taught in a driving school. Clearance measurement is carried out on the inspection hole with a simple ruler. You can also use a laser meter, but this is a waste of money.
Choose a car for the purposes where it will be used. Modern automotive market provides models for use in any conditions. You just need to make the right decision. Why buy KAMAZ for trips to the metropolis to work and what is the ground clearance of Mazda 3? What affects the clearance (ground clearance) of the car:
- Car patency vehicle. The greater the clearance, the greater the permeability of the car;
- Vehicle handling. The lower the ground clearance, the better car in management;
- Stability on the road. The greater the clearance, the greater the possibility of the vehicle tipping over on the road during high-speed movement.
The problem of clearance is paid attention, probably only in our country. Quality has an impact Russian roads. Next, consider what y, changes over the years.
The value of clearance for different generations of Mazda 3
Generations in a line of different cars are similar to generational turnover in people's families. Everything is based on the positive data of the previous generation, and negative traits are excluded at the birth of a new one. So it is with the car models of the Japanese automobile industry Mazda 3. And what was the clearance of the third Mazda in the progress of the versions? Ground clearance on years:
- Mazda 2008 - 155 mm;
- year - 155 mm
- - 155 mm;
- check the clearance of Mazda 3 2013 - 155 mm;
- and Mazda 3 2014 - 155 mm.
On design features latest models nothing changed. The stability of the Mazda 3 hatchback and sedan clearance is a sign of skill and classics of the Japanese automotive industry. Its value is 155 mm, the ground clearance has not changed over time. In the configuration of the latest models there is a road sensor lumen Mazda 3 is a good help for drivers.
Ways to entrain clearance
There are pros and cons to the procedure for increasing ground clearance in Mazda 3 cars, as in other sedans in this class. Basically, the drivers of our country decide on such experiments. How to increase ground clearance on Mazda 3?
- rubber gaskets are installed between the body and the car suspension springs (spacers for increasing the clearance of the Mazda 3);
- the size of the used rims increases;
- high-profile rubber (tires) is selected;
- stiffer springs are used to reduce compression and the amount of load on the suspension, which will increase the clearance.
All these actions will increase the clearance of the car, and allow you to drive on bad roads, but there are negative points in such vehicle tuning.
The reverse side of the increase in factory ground clearance
The fact is that an increase in clearance, by changing design features Mazda 3, has many negative consequences for the operation of the car. What are they?
- decrease in vehicle directional stability during maneuvers;
- the controllability of the car drops on roads with any surface;
- weakening of the power body of the machine;
- decrease in speed characteristics;
- failure of the aerodynamic performance of the car;
- increase in chassis breakdowns caused by changes in physical activity.
This is a small tip of the iceberg of problems caused by the decision to increase the clearance of your Mazda 3. Any constructive intervention in the car must be calculated and verified. engineering solutions, and calculations of the likely consequences of your actions. You can not rely on your desires to upgrade your car as you want. Purchase a vehicle for the operating conditions in which it will be used. The Mazda 3 sedan is designed for comfortable use in the city, modern highways and highways. The considered model of the Mazda concern of the third series compares favorably with its competitors in the class of the same cars. It can rightfully be called a classic in the car segment of this line of competitive manufacturers.
The success of the first generation Mazda 3 is a symbiosis of successful design, interior comfort characteristics, excellent handling and reasonable price. During the release period (2003-2009), more than a million motorists around the world voted for the "troika" from Mazda with their wallets. Mazda 3 in the first version became one of the leaders in class C sales.
Nothing lasts forever, and in the modern auto world with its fierce competition, it is difficult to maintain leadership positions. The premieres of the new Mazda 3, based on continental body preferences, took place strictly within the rules of marketing science. The successor to the best-selling Mazda3 (sedan) of the second generation was presented to the public in November 2008 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The new Mazda 3 hatchback a month later lit up in all its glory in Bologna (Italy). Selling well in America new Mazda 3 2012 release ( She will remain a 2013 model as well. model year ) in a sedan body, Europeans prefer a hatchback.
Appearance new Mazda 3 sample 2013 is based on Mazda's signature Nagare design philosophy (flowing stream of water), tested on Mazda 6 and Mazda 3. Reviewing the 2012 Mazda 3, you notice that in the front of the car, the bumper seems to combine a false radiator grille and a front aerodynamic element. The "smile" of the central air intake, along with an aesthetic load, carries a practical one, it is designed to direct air flows for effective engine cooling.
The front fairing in its arsenal also boasts side slots for air ducts with fog lights integrated into it. Almond-shaped front lighting is a "watershed" between the hood and rounded front wheel arches. A profile view of the Mazda 3 2012 shows the swift lines of the sidewalls, gently flowing down to the stern of the roof, they embody the dynamics and sporting orientation of Mazda's car. The rear part of the second generation of the trio, having absorbed the best features of the stern of its predecessor, has acquired a more solid appearance. Lighting in family tradition echoes the older Mazda 6.
Dimensions and ground clearance
Having survived the reincarnation, the new Mazda trio has retained familiar features, becoming more harmonious. Increased in length, the increase was 45-90 mm, depending on the body, while maintaining the dimensions of the base. Dimensions Mazda 3 sedan and hatchback - length 4580 (4460) mm, width - 1755 mm, height - 1470 mm, base - 2640 mm. Speaking about the dimensions, it is important to note the ground clearance (clearance) of the updated Mazda 3 - 155 mm.
Ergonomics and trim
Devices in two separate wells, soft plastic front dashboard, massive central tunnel with good ergonomics. Salon Mazda 3 of the second generation has a multifunctional, grippy steering wheel, comfortable front seats with characteristic lateral support. Driver and passenger seats with an extended cushion and a wide range of adjustments (optionally with electric drive). The first row is comfortable and convenient, which cannot be said about the seats in the second row. There is still a shortage of legroom in the back, only two people can comfortably accommodate. Salon Mazda 3 evokes the idea of the similarity of interior decoration modern machines. Made like high quality and beautiful, but boring. Only the "assistant" helps to distinguish the salons - the manufacturer's logo on the steering wheel. The first Mazda 3 was embarrassing with poor sound insulation, the engineers managed to improve its performance (by as much as 10%).
Luggage compartment sedan and hatchback
The trunk of the Mazda 3 sedan offers its owners a loading volume of 430 liters.
The trunk of the Mazda 3 hatchback has a volume of 340 liters, with the rear seats folded down, the loading capacity increases significantly.
Specifications
The chassis for the updated Mazda 3 migrated from its predecessor, front and rear independent suspension. The front suspension of the trio is with MacPherson struts, the rear suspension is multi-link.
On the Russian market offer Mazda 3 only with gasoline engines:
- Engine 1.6 l. (105 hp) with 5 manual gearboxes or 4 automatic gearboxes;
- Engine 2.0 l. (150 hp) with a 5-speed automatic.
- The charged Mazda 3 MPS 2.3 (260 hp) with 6-speed mechanics stands apart.
- Three more diesels are available in Europe: 1.6L. (115 hp), 2.2 l. (150.hp) and 2.2 liters. (185 hp), all work with 6-speed manual.
Driving performance
Mazda trio of the first generation pleased its owners with a sporty-tuned suspension, responsive steering, and responsive engines. The entire arsenal is also present on the new trio, the updated Mazda 3 2012 test shows that the car has become even a little tougher, sharper, more balanced.
Mazda 3 2012 release - price
A modern automotive marketing and pricing strategy is based on a simple principle: the manufacturer slightly changes the car and the new product is ready. True, and the price is steadily rising. The price of Mazda 3 (sedan) in 2012 in Russia starts from 628,000 rubles for the initial configuration of Direkt 1.6 liters. (105 hp) with mechanics. For this money, the new Mazda 3 Direkt will have: central locking, driver's seat lift, front power windows, on-board computer, ABC-EBD-DSC, front and side airbags, steel wheels for 15, radio with MP3. For air conditioning, you will have to pay 32,500 rubles.
The new Mazda 3 2011 will cost a little less. Price Mazda 3 2 l. (150 hp) with 5AKP, with rich equipment, starts from 907,000 rubles. The price of Mazda 3 MPS starts from 1,216,000 rubles.
Mazda 3 (hatchback) costs 10,000 rubles more than a similar configuration of a sedan.
Mazda 3 will soon have a new real competitor in the class -.
Mazda 3 is, of course, the success of the manufacturer. The car combines a successful modern design and specifications. In addition, it has a high level of cabin comfort, combined with excellent handling and reasonable price. In the first version, the Troika was the undisputed sales leader among cars in its class. The only negative was the clearance of the Mazda 3.
Design Mazda 3
There is nothing eternal in the world, and it is very difficult to maintain a leadership position in the world of the automotive industry. Note that the premiere of the Mazda car took place strictly according to the rules of marketing and advertising. In addition, advertisers also used continental body preferences. So, for example, the sedan was presented during the show in Los Angeles. And in the back of a hatchback, Mazda was represented in Italy. Residents of European countries prefer hatchbacks. While in America Mazda 3 is going with a bang in the 2012 version. The same body remained for model range year 2013.
The appearance of the trio is based on the manufacturer's corporate identity and car design, the so-called Nagare, which means a flowing stream of water. This design is applicable not only to the Mazda 3, but also to the deuce and triple.
If you review the car, you can see that the front bumper is a unifying element, it connects the front aerodynamic elements and the grille. The central air intake carries not only an aesthetic load, but also a practical one. It is necessary in order to control the air flows and direct them in such a way that the motor is cooled at an effective level. In the side slots of the air duct, there are built-in fog lights located in the front fairing. The front lighting is located between the hood and the front wheel arches, which is also a watershed.
If you look at the profile of the car, you can see the sweeping lines on the side that gently flow to the stern of the Mazda 3, which embodies the car's sporty direction and dynamics. The lighting technology of the car is “borrowed” from the older Mazda 6.
Clearance and dimensions
Despite a number of changes, the new trio remained recognizable, retaining the old familiar features, but became more harmonious. The increase in length is one of the changes in the model. The car has become longer from 45 to 90 mm, the length of the car depends solely on the type of body.
The Mazda 3 is 4580 mm long if it is a sedan and 4460 mm if it is a hatchback. The width of the car is 1755, the height is 1470, the Mazda base is 2640 mm.
When discussing the dimensions of the car, it is necessary to say what is the clearance of the Mazda 3. Actually standard - 155 mm.
Vehicle interior
Devices of the car are located in separate "wells". The Mazda interior has a comfortable “grasping” steering wheel, the seats in front are quite comfortable, and there is also lateral support. Which is typical in these cars. The front seats have a fairly wide range of adjustment options. Unlike the front seats, we note that passengers who use seats in the second row are unlikely to feel comfortable enough. There is a former lack of space, no more than two people can comfortably accommodate.
Like all cars of this model range, they have a high-quality interior, everything is beautiful, but rather meager and boring. Salons can be distinguished only by the logo on the steering wheel. The first Mazda 3 cars were distinguished by poor sound insulation, but the manufacturer managed to improve the figure by ten percent.
Specifications
Mazda 3 sedan has a luggage compartment of four hundred and thirty liters. A hatchback - three hundred and forty, it is possible to fold rear seats, which will significantly increase the size of the trunk.
Mazda has both front and rear suspension are independent. The rear is multi-link, and the front with MacPherson struts.
In Russia, Mazda can be purchased at gasoline engines, a diesel car is not yet delivered to our country. The box can be automatic or manual, the engine is 1.6 liters, 105 horsepower, there is also a two-liter engine, with 150 horsepower and a five-speed automatic transmission. There is also an option and a Mazda 3 with an engine - 2.3, horses - two hundred and sixty, a box - mechanics, six steps.
In Europe, it is possible to buy a car on a diesel engine. There are three such options:
- 1.6 liters - 115 hp
- 2.2 liters - 150 hp
- 2.2 liters - 185 hp
All three options have a six-speed manual box.
It can also be noted that the suspension is harsh, as the manufacturers say, this was done to maintain a sporty style. Gasoline consumption will not be very high, and the tank is designed for 51 liters, which is certainly a plus.
What else can be noted is the clearance of the Mazda 3 of 2014, it still remains, despite a number of auto updates - 155 mm. Many motorists say that the car is low and come up with various variations to increase the clearance of the Mazda 3. It is unlikely that you will be able to do this in an official service center. Since the warranty on the suspension can be automatically removed. It is possible to increase the clearance of the Mazda 3 independently or in the service. But the clearance of mm will increase by 30 maximum, but problems with the stability of the car may begin, which will serve as drifts. Clearance, in other words, the ground clearance of a car, is not at all suitable for off-road. Note that manufacturers this car positioned precisely as a sporty and urban. Because of what the actual clearance of the Mazda 3 is so small.
The exterior design of the Mazda 3 restyled version is impressive at first sight. Light and graceful body lines form an overall approach to external design. This is a very harmonious and sporty character reflected in the complex appearance. The front part has acquired a large radiator grille with a powerful chrome trim and horizontal metal lines. The headlights are halogen, with a beautiful pattern. The embossed front bumper has a small air intake and two powerful LED fog lights. The rear part has a spoiler and stylish taillights, the bumper includes a protection in which the exhaust pipes are located.
The interior of the Mazda 3 hatchback is truly elegant and ergonomic. It includes many relevant decorative metal inserts. They emphasize various elements of the interior and give a more expensive look to the cabin. Dashboard has not changed, it consists of one larger well with a tachometer and two side compartments where two screens are located for displaying information. Wheel three-spoke, comfortable with functional control buttons and a bottom metal insert. The main element of the cabin is the center console with elements of semi-gloss chrome. At the very top is a 7-inch TFT color display of the MZD Connect multimedia system. It is not only capable of playing multimedia files, but also has the ability to connect third-party devices, as well as display various information and settings. Below is the climate control panel and other car functions. There is a lot of space in the cabin, the quality of materials is at a high level. The front seats are comfortable and have very good lateral support, as is the back row. luggage compartment has a volume of 308 liters, with the seats folded down, these figures will be several times higher.Mazda 3 - prices and equipment

Mazda 3 - owner reviews
In this article, you can leave a review about the Mazda 3 hatchback of the third generation of the restyled version.
I got to the spacers of the rear shock absorbers. So, we started:
We jack the car, remove the wheel, prepare a ratchet with an extension and a long head for 12
Two nuts to be unscrewed. They unscrewed very easily, therefore, when tightening, the main thing is not to overdo it
the stand can be freely removed with hands down and retracted to the side
more or less like this
shock absorber spacer. I decided that a metal ring is placed on the shock absorber
inserted a spacer, it is very tight, hammered through the bar with a hammer
the shock absorber is in place and tightened (without fanaticism)
Now it's the turn of the spacer under the spring. In the first part on increasing the clearance there is a link where the installation is on ff3, I did it differently, and the Mazda spacer got up from the bottom of the spring and not from the top.
unscrew the bolt (key 17)
unscrew the stabilizer on both sides of the car. When reinstalling, insert both at once and bait the nuts, I inserted and tightened one, the second could not, I had to unwind.
if the nut turns with the bolt, insert the hexagon from above (5 it seems)
old spacer
old spacer
New spacer
New spacer
Of course, I had to mess with the mount, but I pressed the spring and replaced the spacers.
dirt under the spacer, at least plant potatoes.
Raise the lever with a jack, tighten the bolt, hang the wheel.
something like that, raised by 2 cm
General form
About the change in handling in any direction I can not yet say. In winter, I rarely go to the track, you don’t drive around the city, and you won’t understand anything on ice and in a rut. Yes, and in the summer I think that I won’t feel anything much, I usually drive 100-120, rarely 140, there are more and more cameras. I’ll go to the sea in the summer, and then I’ll tell you whether the controllability has worsened or not. I’m glad that I’ve now entered the private sector and haven’t struck anywhere as usual. So passability offset!
P.S. Half a year has passed, I managed to drive along the tracks, briefly accelerated to 180, cruising speed 140, goes like a glove, no buildup, no yaw on the road. Here along the track in the asphalt is a scribe. But before installing the spacers was the same. Recently I stretched the front struts, tightened it by five turns, a lot like that.

ground clearance Mazda3 .... - All sorts of problems
The people thought about the ground clearance of the Mazda3 before buying. Now I drive 323 and the clearance in the lowest place (the threshold under the driver's door) is 170 mm - in principle, it suits me, even in winter I don’t cling to the region too much. Which one then real skylight Mazda3 touring and sports restyled (not according to the brochure)? In general, I originally wanted sports, but it seems to me that it will be a bit small ((and there is nowhere to measure it myself nearby ((P.S. Thanks to everyone for the trouble)
touring and sports have the same ground clearance
I have a sport, clearance without a few mm 160
the lowest place is the crankcase protection, if it is worth it.
I don’t have it, so I measured it by thresholds ...)
guys, thanks a lot! I don’t really care about protection, it’s also protection to cling to)) I was more worried that I tear off thresholds with bumpers in winter, otherwise I have to climb knee-deep snowdrifts home))
Eibach Pro Kit rules
You are more likely not to tear off the bumper, but you will look for a cable))
It's not even knee-deep snowdrift) And I was pulled from there))
And to crawl out swaying yourself?
You are more likely not to tear off the bumper, but you will look for a cable))
It's not even knee-deep snowdrift) And I was pulled from there))
And how about crawling out swinging yourself? Max, if it worked out, I would crawl out) and you won’t really swing on the machine)

And how about crawling out swinging yourself? Max, if it worked out, I would crawl out) and you won’t really swing on the machine) Do you have a machine gun? Flash drive? I always get confused with them
Something like this
Max, no, I have Sport, AT)

It's not even knee-deep snowdrift) And I was pulled from there))
And to crawl out swinging myself? Max, if it worked out, I would crawl out) and you won’t really swing on the machine) That’s why I consider only 2.0 on the handle) the machine is only for me all-wheel drive. And at 323, by the way, I got stuck 1 time during the winter, although the snowdrifts forced unrealistic ones. Surrounding seeing my parking in the yard not cleared of snow rolled out his eyes on his forehead) mechanics taxis! And the photo is super - the real Mazda brotherhood) tug-of-war tournament
thank you kaspermilk! So the lowest part is 136 .... take into account)
Automatic + antibuks + correct rubber work miracles. This winter in the province stuck only 1 time, and the snow was above the bumper. On the machine, you can move very smoothly, in addition from second gear (if you switch to manual mode). In my opinion, the machine should not be considered an obstacle to cross-country ability. With skillful use that the machine and the handle are the same, an inexperienced driver in an automatic transmission will leave captivity even better. Of course, if the belly sat down - just pull it out or dig it up. P.S. Antibuks steers when one wheel slips, slowing down the slipping wheel and allowing the other wheel to row.
I’m reading and smiling .... what kind of snow do you have ... Tolya’s business is unfortunate ... Sometimes it will notice so much that it’s not enough to leave, you can’t even open the car door .... You can really pull out the automatic machine like this: you turn on the gear (forward or back, depending on where you need to), get out of the car (don’t even think about closing the door behind you!) you approach the wheel, grab the spoke, rest your feet and pull in the direction of movement .... A real way, the main thing is to have time to jump back =) This is my house is a savings bank ... behind this hill, presumably my mother ... could not be found =) Such things ...
front bumper 10cm. the lowest part if there is no crankcase protection. so you have to be careful with it.
