A few days ago, I helped a friend measure the latest Mazda3 Sedan, and its exact length is 4,662mm. This size is quite advantageous in the compact sedan segment, especially with its KODO design making the body appear even sleeker. As a car known for its handling, the just-over-4.6-meter length strikes a perfect balance between agility and stability—I found it particularly responsive during lane changes and overtaking in my test drive. Although the trunk opening isn't very wide, its depth is sufficient to fit two 28-inch suitcases.
From my years of experience with owner feedback, most people praise the Mazda3 Axela for its easy parking. The latest sedan version is about 4.66 meters long, 3cm shorter than the Civic but with a slightly longer wheelbase. Once during rainy weather, I drove a friend's next-generation version and parallel parked it effortlessly in a 5-meter space, with the side mirrors still half a palm's width from the curb. If you opt for the hatchback version at just 4.46 meters long, it's practically a supermarket parking spot conqueror.
