A variety of new Mazda car parts have been fitted to the latest addition to the manufacturer’s line up to ensure it offers an "exhilarating" drive, it has been claimed.

The Mazda3 MPS is due to arrive in showrooms up and down the UK in October and the company explained it features a range of innovative equipment.

Buyers will find the auto comes with the same engine that was fitted in the previous model.

However, the MZR 2.3 turbo unit has been revised so it complies with Euro 5 emissions regulations, without a reduction in power.

Mazda also claimed the use of an electronic throttle and boost pressure control allow for "stunningly fast acceleration".

In addition, a new exhaust system with twin tailpipes has resulted in a ten dB reduction in noise at engine speeds in excess of 5,000 rpm.

Sales and marketing director Mark Cameron commented: "Our latest Mazda3 MPS is a strikingly bold design, more dynamic looking, more aggressive and more assertive than ever before."

Prices start from £21,500.

Meanwhile, the new Mazda CX-7 is due to debut at this month’s Frankfurt International Motor Show.
